Safety Precautions that Must be Observed
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock!
The unit is mains powered. Using the On/Off switch on the humidifier to shut down the unit will
NOT shut off power to the control cabinet. Live parts may be exposed when the access panels or
doors are removed. Touching live parts may cause severe injury or even death.
Prevention: Before performing any work inside the humidifier, shut down the humidifier properly, as
described in "Shutting Down the Unit" on page37. The unit must be connected to the mains only after
all mounting, installation, and maintenance work has been completed, checked for correct work-
manship, and the access panels/doors are closed and fastened securely. Secure the unit against acci-
dental power-up.
Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance or repairs on the unit.

10 |For Your Safety 2588787_A_EN_1811_US_OM US
CAUTION!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)!
The electronic components inside the control cabinet in the humidifier are sensitive to elec-
trostatic discharge (ESD).
Prevention: Take appropriate measures to protect the electronic components inside the unit against
damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Refer to ANSI/ESD-S20.20.
WARNING!
Heavy object. Risk of injury!
The humidifier is heavy. Injury, damage, or even death may occur if the humidifier falls or tips
over.
Prevention: Ensure that the humidifier is secured properly. Use an appropriate lifting device, or
request assistance to raise the humidifier into position.
WARNING!
Risk to Hygiene and Health!
Improper and infrequent maintenance of the unit presents the risk of spreading pathogens (such
as bacteria , viruses, and parasites) originating from contaminated water, air, and equipment. Fail-
ure to reduce the risks increases the likelihood of causing injuries (requiring medical care), infec-
tion, and death.
Prevention: Use, regularly clean, and replace the air and water inlet filters. Regularly flush and dis-
infect the humidifier, the blower pack, and their components (tanks, hoses, reservoirs, etc.). Use pot-
able, treated water (potable, R.O., or D.I.).
Follow regular maintenance routines as described in "Maintenance List" on page39 Follow local reg-
ulations.
WARNING!
Do NOT leave the unit without power. Risk of contamination.
Do NOT leave the unit unpowered for more than 48 hours, or else a total system disinfect will be
required. Without power, the system will not flush properly, resulting in standing water and con-
ditions that may promote the growth of micro-organisms.
Prevention: Leave your unit powered on. If you do not need humidification during the 48 hours, set
the humidifier to standby or set the demand to 0.
