1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 What can be expected from the work of an EBC, what can't
1.1.1 Primary purpose
The miniClima Constant Humidity Devices EBC are built for the regulation of the relative air-humidity in both
air- and steam-tight enclosed museum showcases, switchboards, deposit cupboards, containers and similar
applications (hereinafter only referred to as "cases"). The devices help in reaching and keeping a desired
level of relative air-humidity inside the cases. They are not built for the purpose of influencing or changing
any other state or condition of the air being processed (e.g. temperature, pollution, etc.), but further
equipment1 can be added to an EBC for filtering dust and particles out of the system air.
1.1.2 Characteristic features
Once set up correctly, the EBC, the case and the interconnections between EBC and case (hosepipes)
together form a tight air circulation system. As long as the EBC is turned on, the air circles continuously
through these three parts of the system. More in detail: The air is exhausted from the case, led to the EBC,
where it is going to be either humidified, dehumidified or left unchanged - depending on the set and actual
RH values. The conditioned air is then led back into the case. During all these times a digital sensor
measures the values for relative air humidity and temperature within the case. The EBC receives these
values and compares the measured RH value with the setpoint, the hysteresis and the threshold values,
which can all be set via the menu prompts on the front panel of the EBC.
Through the work of the EBC, the desired level of the air humidity in the case is constantly approached -
duration and speed depending on the initial values, on the conditions (temperature, humidity) the case is
exposed to, and on a number of further variables (like the temperature at the EBC's place of installation, the
size and shape of the case, the air/steam tightness of the case, the kind of materials stored inside the case,
the length of the hosepipes, whether or not the hosepipes are laid in many bends and turns etc). After the
setpoint range (=setpoint +/- hysteresis) has been reached, the RH is going to be kept on a constant level. A
negligible movement around the setpoint might be observed - the higher the setpoint the more distinct. This
behaviour is technically induced and does not constitute an error.

1.2 Risk of use, recommendations
Our devices are first and foremost used for the regulation of the relative humidity of the air surrounding
precious and/or irreplaceable works of art or artefacts. It is therefore necessary to cover all possible
imponderables, when installing and using the EBCs. For this purpose, please do bear in mind the following
recommendations and risks of use.
A clean installation, carried out according to the instructions found in this manual, is the basis for a working
system. In particular essential are:
The use of a climate-ready case (air-tight, steam-tight).
The positioning of the miniClima RH/T sensor on a spot that features the same environmental conditions
as the one where the exhibit is placed (see section 3.3.2 "RH/T sensor", p. 19).
The design and positions of the air inlets and outlets on the case (see section 3.2 "Setting up the EBC,
establishing the hosepipe connections", p. 12).
That the air resistance within the air circuit is kept low (short hosepipe connections, avoidance of too
many bends and turns when laying the hosepipes etc. - see section 3.2 "Setting up the EBC, establishing
the hosepipe connections", p. 12).
Preventing different temperatures inside the case (light installations, solar radiation,...). The miniClima
RH/T sensor and the exhibit in particular need to be exposed to the very same temperature.
The temperature surrounding the EBC and the hosepipes (see section 3.2 "Setting up the EBC,
establishing the hosepipe connections", p. 12).
Regular visual inspection of the EBCs, regular maintenance and care of the EBCs (see section 7
"Maintenance and care", p. 7).
We recommend a beforehand verification by the user/customer that our product is going to be able to fulfil
the individual expectations and needs required for the specific case. Please don't hesitate to get in touch for
any questions.
It is further recommended to test the function of a completely installed system (consisting of the case, the
interconnections and the EBC(s)) before using it to control the relative air-humidity of sensitive exhibits or
components. In doing so, possible errors (i.e. wrong installations) can be discovered early enough to have
them corrected.
Please bear in mind that every technical device can break. So, to be on the safe side with respect to the

lasting integrity of your sensitive and valuable exhibits or components, further actions should be considered:
Regular inspections of the case and the EBC through skilled personnel probably provide for the highest
possible safety against technical failures or breakdowns.
Installation of external signal devices for every EBC, to be alarmed in time when one of our devices
needs attention (see section 3.3. "Wirings for the external signals (Composite error alarm and on-off
status)" on p. 20).
Having a spare unit at hand if need be or when the regular inspection at our workshop becomes due. You
can save time and avoid delays during which your case might remain without humidity control. Those who
decide for this option should actually best have their EBCs rotate in regular intervals.
Please mind to install, use, maintain, deinstall, pack up, store and ship your EBC and all accessories
correctly and in accordance to the instructions.
1.3 ermissible ambient conditions
5-35°C, 15-80%RH, non-condensing (applies to the storage of the EBC as well as to the operation of the
completely installed system as a whole).
10-50ºC, 20-60%RH, non-condensing (applies to the storage of the RH/T sensor).
NOTE: The values 5-35°C and 15-80%RH refer to the air-conditions surrounding the EBC and the case
which are generally obligatory for operation (or damage-free storage) of the EBC. They do not refer to the
surrounding air-conditions were the full capacity with respect to the achievable setpoint range (inside the
case) will be given (see also section 9 "Technical data", p. 53).
1.4 Further requirements for using EBCs
Electric supply through a fuse-protected standard socket-outlet with earthing contact. Possible range of
voltage & frequency: 100-2 0VAC, 50-60Hz.
No pipework is required for the use of an EBC (all water is taken from and stored in the unit's own bottle).
1.5 Available types
EBC10 - device for air volumes of up to approx. 3m3.
EBC11 - device for air volumes of up to approx. 5m3.

EBC12 - device for air volumes of up to approx. 10m3.
NOTE: The capacity of an EBC will differ depending on the ambient conditions, the tightness and
constitution of the case, the tightness and constitution of the connections between case and device, the kind
and consistency of the materials stored/presented inside the case, and the like.
Every EBC of the current series can be used as both a master unit and a slave. The decision for one of the
two hierarchic states is selected automatically dependant upon the type of cable connected to the EBC. If it
is the cable of a miniClima RH/T sensor then the EBC becomes a master controller; if it is the control line
coming from another EBC then the unit becomes a slave and will duplicate the function of the EBC that is the
first in the line (chain of EBCs).
With this it is possible to increase the max. volume of the air that can be conditioned: Every added EBC10
increases the capacity by approx. 3m3, every added EBC11 by about 5m3 and every added EBC12 by about
10m3. Mixing different types of EBCs (EBC10, EBC11, EBC12) within one chain is permissible. Furthermore
it does not matter which of those types is going to be used as the master of the chain and which as slave(s).

Your EBC can be equipped with a standard fan (ULV) or with one of the stronger fans (ULV+ and ULV++).
The latter are used with units that shall work in installations with an increased air resistance inside the air
circuit system. The fan type built into the unit is marked on the EBC's rating plate. (see Fig. 1).
2.7 Identifying the kind and number of the water level sensors for the bottle
By default every EBC is equipped with one water level sensor for the bottle high mark. Once the bottle
becomes full, the sensor provides for the respective alarm to be issued. The devices can optionally also be
ordered to be equipped with a second sensor for the low mark of the bottle, so that the user can be alarmed

before the bottle becomes empty, too. Where neither of these alarms is required both sensors can be left
away and the EBC will be delivered without any bottle alarm.
The bottle sensors are turquoise rectangular plates mounted to aluminium brackets on the side (default for
EBC10 and -11) or front (option for EBC 10 and -11; by default the only option for EBC128) of the EBC (see
Fig. 3). The top bracket also holds the black hook-and-loop-fastener ("Velcro®") for securing the bottle. If you
see a sensor on the top bracket, your unit is equipped with a water level sensor that issues an alarm before
the bottle can overflow. If you see a second aluminium bracket with a turquoise sensor below, your unit will
also recognise it when the bottle needs to be refilled.
Fig. 3 - Water level sensors for the high and for the
low level alarm. In the sample image, the brackets,
that hold the sensors and the hook-and-loop-fastener
for securing the bottle, are mounted to the left side of
an EBC10 or -11. They can also be mounted to the
front of any EBC10 or -11, whereas on EBC12 they
are always positioned on the front plate; if you need
to have them mounted to the side of an EBC12
additional parts need to be ordered for that purpose.
3 INSTALLATION
3.1 ositioning the bottle
The bottle (0.5l or 2.0l) can be positioned to the left of the EBC10/11 as well as to the front of it (EBC12: By
default to the front only, with optional accessories to the side as well). By default the bottle holder(s) with the
water level sensor(s) (if any; see section 2.7 "Identifying the kind and number of the water level sensors" on
p. 9) and the hook-and-loop-fastener for securing the bottle are mounted on the side of any EBC10/11. If that
assembly shall not be changed, continue with section 3.2 "Setting up the EBC, establishing the hosepipe
connections" on p. 12.
If, on the other hand, you plan to put the bottle (0.5l or 2.0l) to the front of your EBC10 or -11, follow these
steps:
8Additional parts for mounting the bottle holder to the side of an EBC12 are available.
