3. Adjustment of Control to the Control Sig-
nal
3.1 Brief Description of Controls
Control of the HygroMatik steam humidifer is performed by
sophisticated microprocessors. These microprocessors use self-
adaptive algorithms to intelligently select the steam humidifier’s
most economical mode of operation for the available water qual-
ity. Optimized start-up procedures ensure rapid steam produc-
tion and quick responses to all control processes. The
HygroMatik control regulates the entire blow-down cycle and the
function of the water inlet solenoid valve. With the electrode
steam humidifier, it provides self-monitoring control of the con-
ductivity of the cylinder water. Naturally, HygroMatik micropro-
cessor controls handle all standard control signals.
Three controls will be described in these instructions:
•Basic
•Comfort
• Comfort Plus
Note: The factory setting for the controls is to an „External con-
trol signal, 0-10 VDC“ if no other setting is described in the deliv-
ery note of the humidifier.
3.2 Explanation of Settings
The following descriptions of settings for the possible, accept-
able control signals are presented in parallel for the HygroMatik
controls Basic, Comfort and Comfort Plus.
If the the Basic control is used, parameters may only be modified
by changing jumper settings. On the other hand, software
parameter setting is possible with the Comfort or Comfort / Plus.
If a Basic is upgraded to a Comfort / Plus, the jumper settings
are ignored - the Comfort / Plus operates only as specified by
the set software parameters.
For more information about modifying parameters, also see Sec-
tion „Parameter Setting menu“, or see Section „Parameter Set-
ting with jumper“.
Please note

Page 11
The Basic control is depicted as shown below:
The Comfort control is depicted as follows:
The Comfort Plus control is depicted as follows:
Unlike the Comfort, the Comfort Plus is equipped with an addi-
tional encoder knob for easy use. Turning the knob left or right is
equivalent to pressing the software keys “up arrow“ or “down
arrow“.
Pushing down the encoder corresponds to pressing the software
key “Enter”, also see Section „Comfort and Comfort Plus“.

Basic Comfort / Comfort Plus
Every HygroMatik humidifer is equipped with terminals 1 and 2.
These terminals function as the connection for the safety inter-
lock. The safety interlock contacts, such as the max.-hygrostat,
vane relay, duct pressure sensor, air interlock etc., are laid in a
series between erminals 1 and 2. The enable switch or safety
interlock must be closed in order for the humidifier to operate.
Humidifier Terminals
Double-cylinder units are provided with a standard enable
switch, i.e. both cylinders are enabled simultaneously. Upon
request, each cylinder can be equipped with its own enabler
switch.
Risk of overhumidification due to humidity sensor failure!
Installation of a max.-hygrostat in the safety interlock is a must
to protect against overhumidification as a consequence of
humidity sensor failure.
Use of proper contacts is mandatory!
Contacts across terminals 1 and 2 must be potentialfree and
rated for 230 VAC switching.

If desired, you may also connect two humidifiers to a mutual
safety interlock.
For the mutual safety interlock, terminals 11 and 14 of relay K12
of the first humidifier must be connected to terminals 1 and 2 of
the second humidifier as specified in the diagram.
Wiring diagrams are available from HygroMatik on request.

Note: Controls are typically set to an external control signal of
0-10 V DC. For 1-step controls, the following modifications must
be made:
For 1-step controls the jumpers
must be set as indicated below:
For 1-step controls, Parameter
U6 must be set to “1-step,” also
see Section „Parameter Setting
with Codes (P0=10) /
Advanced Customer Level“
Warning: Set controls so that the steam humidifier does not
switch on and of more frequently than 4 times per minute (flut-
tering control leads to premature wear of the main contactor).

The control can be adjusted to the following external control sig-
nals:
0(2) - 5 V DC
0(2) - 10 V DC
0(4) - 20 V DC
0(4) - 10 mA DC
0(4) - 20 mA DC
0 - 140 Ohm
The factory setting is a control signal of 0-10V.
The steam humidifier typically switches off with a (control) sig-
nal of less than 20% and displays "No demand", i.e. no steam is
produced. With a (control) signal of 25% the humidifier resumes
operating.
With a signal of 20%, humidification output reaches 5% of max-
imum output for HeaterLine humidifiers and 10% for electrode
humidifiers. Below that, the unit switches off. At lower steam
output levels, steam would condense in the cylinder or steam
hose and fail to reach its intended location.

Note: If the connecting wires carrying the controller signal are
able to pick up electromagnetic signals from cables laid in the
immediate area, the humidifier could operate unchecked.
Therefore, we strongly recommend laying controller signal
wires with shielding laid to fit the dimensions of the controller.
For a proportional control con-
nected to an external control
signal, the jumpers on the PCB
must be connected as follows:
