1.1 General safety warnings
This appliance must only be used for the function for which it was designed: "Adiabatic humidifier/cooler".
Any other use is to be considered improper and dangerous. Franco s.r.l. cannot be held responsible for any
damage resulting from improper, incorrect and unreasonable use or if the appliance is used in installations
which do not comply with the safety regulations in force.
- Check the integrity of the appliance when you open the packaging, paying particular attention to the
presence of damage or deformation to the plastic parts which may lead to breakage and/or malfunction during
use. In such cases, do not connect the machine to the mains power supply. Periodically carry out a general
inspection of the machine.
- Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the data on the rating plate correspond to those of your
electrical system. The data label (see par. 1.9) is located on the side of the appliance.
- Comply with the safety rules indicated for electrical equipment, and in particular:
•Follow the installation instructions of the appliance.
•Do not place objects on the humidifier.
•Prevent children and/or incapacitated persons from using the device without proper supervision.
•Do not touch the humidifier during operation or while the disc is stopped.
•Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
•Do not place any objects inside the tank as this could cause irreparable damage to the appliance.

1.7 Applications
The UF Mobile can be used for humidification in several types of medium to large agricultural, industrial or
commercial premises.
The device can also be used as an adiabatic cooler. This is possible because atomised water in contact
with ambient air tends to evaporate, removing heat and lowering the temperature. The cooling capacity
depends on temperature, ambient humidity and air distribution.
The UF Mobile is mounted on a trolley with an integrated water tank, which allows the machine to be easily
moved within the room to be humidified or cooled according to the Customer's needs, ensuring maximum
versatility of use.
This machine must only be used for the purpose
for which it was designed:
HUMIDIFICATION / ADIABATIC COOLING
All other uses are improper and potentially dangerous.
1.8 Versions
The UF Mobile humidifier is available in the following version:
1959550 UF Mobile, with airflow rate of 8000 m³/h, 230V ~ 50Hz
1.9 Machine identification and number plate data
Each machine is identified by a CE nameplate on which the article code, serial number and technical data of
the machine are indelibly marked (Fig. 1.9.1).
Always quote these references for any communication with the manufacturer or service centres.
