Water:
Determine the calcium and bicarbonate content and the
pH value of the water. These values can be obtained
from a water analysis or from the local water authority.
Plot the values of bicarbonate, calcium and pH in chart
1 on page 5 to determine in which zone the water can
be classied. If the water is of zone 4 type, it should
be softened.
Level monitors g. 2
Level monitor A: Level monitor A: Closes the water
supply valve when the water
reaches max. level A.
Setting A: 65 mm from the upper edge of the
water tray (sizes 60–84).
Level monitor B: Opens the drain valve for water
bleed-off.
Setting B: The zone value obtained (see page 5)
determines at which setting level
monitor B (Fig. 2) is to be preset.
Level monitor C: Stops the circulation pump and opens
the water supply valve if the water
level drops below level C.
Setting C: 25 mm from the bottom of the water
tray (sizes 60–84)
Level relays:
NR 1, NR 2 and NR 3 are shown in Fig. 7. The level
relays are preset at a sensibility of 40 kΩ. If softened
water is used and the level monitors don’t work, the
sensibility setting can be increased to 100 kΩ.

LQQA Humidifier, for circulated water
Maintenance adjustments (Contd.)
The humidier function:
– switch on the power supply to the humidier.
The water tray will start to ll with water.
Check:
– that the pump has started and that it is pumping
water. If there is no water ow, change the direction
of rotation of the pump, see Fig. 5.
– preset the required supply water ow rate according
to Table 1. This is done by setting the adjustment
screw on the ow controller, shown in Fig. 4.
– that water is being discharged from all of the holes
in the spray pipe(s). If any holes are clogged, use a
needle to unclog them. If the spray pipe(s) is/are
extremely clogged, remove the end plugs (17), brush
inside them using a round brush and then ush
them clean.
– that the ow of supply water stops when the water
level in the tray reaches level monitor A.
– that water bleed-off can be done by manually opening
the drain valve approx. half way (45°), see Fig. 3.
The valve can be reclosed by pressing a reset button
on the control unit. When the water level has drop-
ped below the lowest point of sensor B, the drain
valve should open fully. If the water level continues
to drop below the lowest point of sensor C, water
inlet valve should begin to open and after a preset
period (see Table 2, Fig. 6) the drain valve should
start to close. When the water reaches level C, the
pump should soon stop.
(The pump should not run when the water level is
below level C.)
– The preset period on the time relay should be according
to Table 2, 3 and Fig. 6.
Droplet eliminator
The droplet eliminator lls must be correctly tted for
the direction of air ow, see the arrow on the droplet
eliminator.

LQQA Humidifier, for circulated water
Water quality
Evaporation causes an increase in the concentration of
minerals in the circulating water, which necessitates
continuous bleed-off and make-up with fresh water.
The bleed-off rate is dependent on factors such as:
■ the pH of the water
■ the bicarbonate concentration (HCO3 ), mg/l
■ the calcium concentration (Ca2+), mg/l
This data can be obtained from a municipal water autho-
rity or by analysing the water.
Lime precipitation can be prevented by plotting the per-
tinent data in Chart 1 on page 4 to determine the current
risk zone. Water level monitor B can then be set according
to the relevant zone. If the water is too hard, it may be
necessary to subject it to partial softening.
In addition to the risk of lime precipitation, the concentra-
tion of chlorine (Cl) and copper (Cu) must be taken into
account. To ensure acceptable performance, the concen-
tration of Cl in the fresh water must not exceed 50 mg/l
and that of Cu must not exceed 0.02 mg/l.
To set the timer for emptying and flushing
For normal function, the timer should be preset to
”ON”. When emptying, which can be programmed to
occur once or several (optional) times every 24-hour
period, the timer will reset itself to the ”OFF” setting
for 10 minutes. After that, the timer will reset itself to
”ON” for 2 minutes to allow ushing.
The timer will then reset itself to the ”OFF” setting
for 3 minutes for additional emptying before resetting
itself back to ”ON” for normal operation.
In the following example, emptying and ushing
are required once every 24 hours from 12.00 to 12.15 as
scheduled below.
Period Timer setting Activity
00.00–12.00 ON Normal operation
12.00–12.10 OFF Emptying
12.10–12.12 ON Flushing
12.12–12.15 OFF Additional emptying
12.15–24.00 ON Normal operation
This can be done most easily by programming the ope-
ration times from 12.15 to 12.00 and from 12.10 to 12.12
on a daily basis! Emptying and additional emptying
will then occur from

Zone 1 is the safe zone, in which the water is soft or
demineralized.
Zone 2 is the lower part of the transition zone, in which
the water can be said to be of normal drinking quality.
Zone 3 is the upper part of the transition zone, in which
the water is relatively hard.
Zone 4 is the precipitation zone, in which the water is
very hard. The water must be subjected to partial softe-
ning, so that its quality will be within zone 2–3.
However, the softening treatment must not lower the
quality of the water to zone 1.

Data from the municipal water authority:
pH = 7,6
Bikarbonate 70 mg/l
Calcium 30 mg/l

Water consumption
The water consumption consists of the water evapora-
ted and a certain amount of water bleed-off. This bleed-
off ow is necessary to reduce the consumption of salts
in the circulating water. If the concentration of salts is
too high, salts may be deposited on the humidier ll,
which will have a detrimental effect on the performan-
ce of the humidier.
The chart above can be used to determine the appro-
priate bleed-off ow.

period at a high humidication rate

ushed twice a day. (See: To set the timer for emptying
and ushing.)
Periods out of service
The controller of the humidier switches to the emptying
mode whenever the fan is switched out.
Clean the water tray if the system is to be shut down
for an extended period, such as during the annual holiday
and long weekends.
If the humidier is to be out of service for some time,
the humidier lls should be removed, cleaned and sto-
red in a place where they will not sustain damage.
