TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
DANGER: always place the humidifier on surfaces that are suitable to support
its weight.
WARNING: transport operations must be carried out by trained personnel using
certified equipment in good condition. Transport equipment and tools must be
suitable for the weight and characteristics of the humidifier.
WARNING: make sure that there are no unauthorised persons or things that could
obstruct the lifting and transport operations in the area where these are
performed.
WARNING: any other method of handling or transport not described in this
manual is considered unsuitable, dangerous and therefore not approved by the
manufacturer.
5.1 Transport
The humidifier is shipped already assembled, packed and secured to pallets
suitable for the weight of the humidifier by special straps. The places where
the forklift forks can be inserted are marked by special tags. To guarantee
correct handling, loading and anchoring of the packages, the manufacturer
checks all of the phases in the preparation of the packages and all of the
materials needed for transport before the humidifier is loaded on the vehicle,
and provides a delivery note (DDT) where the carrier can express any
reservations about the stability or suitability of the load for the vehicle in
question. Nonetheless, the recipient must scrupulously check the packages
before they are unloaded from the delivery vehicle. Notify the carrier
immediately, in writing, of any damage that may be due to improper or
negligent transport. Move the humidifier to the site of installation before
removing it from the packaging, grasping the neck from underneath using
suitable lifting equipment. Open the cardboard box, remove the protective
material and remove the unit, keeping it vertical at all times.
Notice: the packaging material must not be dispersed in the environment;
consequently, the different types of material must be separated and disposed
of by local waste disposal services, in accordance with the regulations in
force in the country where the humidifier is installed.
5.2 Handling
Handling operations must be carried out by qualified personnel, with an
assistant required for signalling. The lifting and transport equipment must be
of suitable capacity and chosen based on the dimensions, weight and shape of
the humidifier (Tab. 4.a). The capacity of the lifting equipment and
accessories must be greater (with a margin of safety) than the weight of the
loads being moved. Lifting movements must be continuous, without jerking or
sudden movements. During handling, nobody is allowed in the manoeuvring area;
the entire surrounding area is considered a danger zone. The handling operator
is responsible for verifying the stability of the humidifier before lifting
and handling it.

Notice: · AD: Steam absorption distance (also see paragraph 8.1 Steam
distribution).
For a length equal to at least AD, there must be no obstacles of any type
downstream of the steam distributor. This ensures best absorption of the steam
into the air, thus avoiding the formation of condensate or wetting of parts
and components of the AHU/duct.
The limit probe must be placed three times further than the estimated
absorption distance (AD). If the estimated absorption distance is not known,
the limit probe must be placed at least 3 m from the distributor.
The suggested set point for the limit probe is 90% rH.

6.2 Display “Main & Secondary” system
To obtain steam production higher than that provided by one single unit,
several humidifiers can be connected together in a Main/Secondary system. A
maximum of 19 Secondary units can be connected to each Main, meaning a total
of 20 humidifiers. The Main and Secondary units are connected using a local
Ethernet network, and in the case of just two units (one Main and Secondary)
involves a direct connection between the two controllers via Ethernet RJ45
Category 5 cable.

6.4 Type of “Main & Secondary” installation
The Main/Secondary system features one Main humidifier, which manages
operation of the Secondary units. The external signal or probe connections,
depending on the set control type, are made to just one of the humidifiers in
the system. The unit that the signal is connected to will automatically be
identified as the Main. Consequently, the Main does not need to be especially
configured.
Secondary
Main
Secondary

main probe or external signal
As long as the Main unit is powered, the system will operate even if the Main unit itself has a malfunction (e.g. alarms, production stopped, …), as the controller on this unit will send all the necessary data to the Secondary units. Obviously, if system redundancy is not provided for, the amount of steam produced will be lower than actual requirements. If the Main unit is completely switched off, the Main/Secondary system cannot read the signals/control probes. Therefore, it is recommended to connect at least two (or all) of the humidifiers in the system to the external signal or to fit them with distinct probes.

6.5 Unit hardware backup
For applications that require continuous humidity control, a second backup
unit may be required, which is automatically activated in the event of a
malfunction on the first. The gaSteam controller features a dedicated digital
input and output for the backup connection, so as to guarantee, via the
normally-open contact, activation of the second unit.

The hardware backup function must be activated on the menu in screen Ee01.
Screen Ee02 is used to set the unit with higher priority in the event of
simultaneous activation. To ensure service continuity, the external signal or
probes must be connected to both units; in this way, both the main unit and
the backup unit will be completely independent. If using autonomous control
with probes, it is recommended to use dedicated probes for each unit (main
probe and limit probe), in other words, do not share the probes between the
units. This will guarantee service even in the event of probe malfunctions.
6.6 Supervisor protocols and configuration
The humidifier can be connected to a supervisor via serial (BMS) or Ethernet
network. The Carel, ModBus and BACnet protocols are supported as standard by
the units.

6.7 gaSteam DigitalHUM service registration
The system can be connected to the DigitalHUM service, the cloud portal for
remote monitoring of Carel humidifiers. DigitalHUM allows remote control of
the units, with complete diagnostics for analysis of system operating
conditions and efficiency.
To activate the service, in addition to requesting activation of the
DigitalHUM cloud portal via a token, a CloudGate needs to be installed in
order to communicate with the humidifier via the Modbus RS485 protocol and in
turn remotely control the humidifier from DigitalHUM
(https://digitalhum.teraportal.com/).

The PC and the humidifier controller (or all controllers, for Main/Secondary
systems) must be part of the same subnetwork. The default network
configurations for the c.pHC are: · Unit’s IP address: 192.168.0.1; · subnet
mask: 255.255.255.0; · gateway: 192.168.0.1.
For example, the PC’s network settings can be changed as follows: · Unit’s IP
address: 192.168.0.2; · subnet mask: 255.255.255.0; · gateway: 192.168.0.1.
To do this, access the “Network and sharing center” on the PC and go to “Local
network connection”. Then modify the addresses, as shown above, for Internet
protocol version 4. Each c.pHC controller can obviously also be added to the
Ethernet local network, allowing the web server to be accessed from any point
in the network and for each humidifier.
IMPORTANT: the controller is not accessible directly on the internet as a firewall guarantees remote access only via a secure connection (Carel tERA cloud or encrypted VPN connection).
6.10 Wireless probe installation
For installations where standard wired probes can not be used, (for example,
modifications to existing systems), wireless probes can be used. These are
connected via a device called an access point (P/N: WS01AB2M20), for up to 4
wireless probes. The wireless probes available are for room installation
(WS01G01M00) or industrial applications (WS01F01M00), both of which measure
humidity and temperature. Installation diagram (with four wireless room
probes):

Fig. 6.r
Notice: the devices have a range of around a hundred metres in a free space, i.e. without any obstacles. In a closed space, the range varies considerably depending on the type of environment and the surrounding objects (shelves, metal partition walls etc.).
If installing multiple wireless probes, the controller will calculate the weighted average between the various probe readings, depending on the settings made by the user and the defined probe groups. Also see the paragraph “Wireless probes”. The controller also displays (locally only) the battery and signal level for each probe (screens D05 to D08).

INSTALLATION
Piping connections
The humidifier requires a connection to the gas and water supply and water
drain pipes. The feedwater supply can be connected using a hose with a minimum
inside diameter (recommended) of 6 mm. Install a shut-off valve to allow the
appliance to be disconnected during maintenance. We recommend the use of hoses
(P/N FWH3415004), installing a mechanical filter to trap any solid impurities.
To make the connection: · drain water: use non-conductive plastic tubing
resistant up to 100°C (212°F), with an inside diameter of 50 mm (1.96″) (3A,
5A – Fig. 7.a); · gas supply: use a flexible metal pipe (with vibration
isolating joint) connected to a manual shut-off valve.
IMPORTANT: the drain pipe must not be obstructed, must not have back pressure
and must be fitted with a drain trap immediately downstream of the connection
to the humidifier.

Notice: for the Australian market and to meet Watermark requirements, a Watermark approved double check valve must be installed on the humidifier feedwater line when connected to the potable water supply network. If, on the other hand, the humidifier is supplied with water from a reverse osmosis system connected to the potable water supply network, the double check valve must be installed on the inlet to the reverse osmosis system.
7.1.2 Feedwater
The feedwater supply to the humidifier must not be corrosive, must not emit
bad odours, and must not have an excessive lime content to avoid scale build-
up. The water supply must be potable or demineralised water, and must comply
with the limits shown in the following table. To reduce the frequency of
maintenance operations, the use of demineralised water is recommended. In this
case a reverse osmosis demineralisation system is recommended, which can be
supplied by the manufacturer on request.
IMPORTANT: water treatment with polyphosphates or water softeners is allowed, guaranteeing at least 60% of the initial hardness value and no less than 5°f. Softened water reduces maintenance however may increase the concentration of dissolved salts in the water inside the boiler, with the consequence of foam formation.
Notice: if supplied with water coming from an external reverse osmosis system, an instant flow-rate of 20 l/min (5.28 Gal/ min) must be guaranteed. For UG450, there are two inlets, therefore the instant flow-rate must be 2 x 20 l/min (2 x 5.28 US gal/min).

7.1.3 Drain water characteristics
The drain water: · contains the same substances that are dissolved in the
supply water, yet in greater quantities; · can reach a temperature of 100°C
(212°F); · for drain tempering versions, water temperature will be 60°C
(140°F), with a ma inlet temperature of 25°C (77°F).
IMPORTANT: completely demineralised water is aggressive. For connection to a feedwater system with completely demineralised water, only use components made from chemically-resistant plastic (e.g. polypropylene) or stainless steel.

8. STEAM DISTRIBUTION
8.1 Steam distribution
To achieve optimal humidifier efficiency, the steam produced must be
introduced into the room uniformly, in order to prevent the formation of
droplets and condensation. This is achieved using linear steam distributors.
The right steam distributor must be chosen according to the place where the
steam is to be introduced. Information on the absorption distance The steam
introduced into the AHU/duct must be absorbed by the air, and therefore a free
space without obstacles where condensation may form is required. This length,
downstream of the steam distributor, is defined as the non-wetting distance or
“absorption distance” (AD in the figure).

8.1.1 Linear distributors for air ducts or AHUs
The steam distributors for AHU (air handling unit) or duct applications (sold
separately) deliver steam along their entire length in order to ensure the
shortest not-wetting distance. The distributor must be chosen based on: ·
maximum capacity required; · dimensions of the AHU/duct; · outlet diameter on
the humidifier it is connected to.
Notice: install away from any obstacles (curves, branches, changes in cross-
section, grilles, filters, fans). Minimum distance between distributor and
obstacle: 1 – 1.5 m (3.3 – 4.9 ft). Increase the distance in the event of: ·
increased air speed in the duct; · less turbulence.

8.1.4 Steam hose
Warnings: · use CAREL hoses (max length = 4 m / 3.3 ft, see par. 8.1.5); ·
avoid the formation of pockets or traps (these cause condensate accumulation);
· avoid choking the hose with sharp bends or twists; · use metal clamps to
secure the ends of the hose to the connections on the humidifier and the steam
distributor so that they
do not come loose due to the high temperatures; · avoid strain, including
mechanical stress on the boiler steam outlet spigot; · do not use a steam hose
with a smaller cross-section than the diameter suggested in the manual; · do
not install valves or other similar devices in the section of steam hose
between the humidifier and the distributor; · do not use the steam hose
outdoors to avoid premature deterioration; · allow space for maintenance in
the area surrounding the steam hoses; · if using two steam distributors
connected to a single outlet, install a “Y” fitting as close as possible to
the distributors. This will
reduce the formation of condensate.

8.1.6 Condensate drain pipe
During operation of the humidifier, part of the steam may condense, causing a
decline in efficiency and noise (gurgling). To drain the condensate, connect
to the distributor (Fig. 8.g) drain spigot (Fig. 8.f ) a drain pipe with a
trap and a minimum slope of 5°. The condensate drain pipe must be connected to
the drain water pipe.

IMPORTANT the condensate drain trap must be filled with water prior to turning
on the humidifier.
Below are some requirements and installation examples of the steam hoses and
condensate drain pipes: · instructions provided in this chapter, the steam
outlet hoses are aimed upwards and the distributor has an upwards slope of
at least 2°; · any curves in the pipes or hoses are sufficiently wide (radius
500 mm – 20 in) so as to not cause bending or choking; · the paths of the steam hose and condensate pipe comply with the instructions provided in this chapter; · the slope of the steam hose is sufficient to allow correct condensate drainage (> 5° for downward sections); · the slope of the condensate drain pipe is at least 5° at every point; · the condensate drain pipe is fitted with a drain trap (filled with water before starting) to prevent steam from escaping; · do not use a condensate drain pipe with a smaller cross-section than the diameter suggested in the manual; · the drain trap must be positioned under the steam distributor. The minimum distance from the distributor to the highest
point of the drain trap must be at least 300mm (11.81in).

Outlet pressure limits The back-pressure at the boiler outlet, either positive
or negative, depends both on the relative pressure in the duct/AHU and the
pressure drop in the steam hose, due to bends or adapters, and the steam
distributor. The steam hoses have a pressure drop of around 150 Pa/m (0.021
psi) (in compliance with the maximum recommended flow-rate). The DP series
linear distributors have a pressure drop of around 25 Pa (0.003psi) (in
compliance with the maximum recommended flow-rate).
Considering these values, the boiler outlet pressure must be: · boiler outlet
pressure > 150 [Pa/m] steam hose length [m] + 25 [Pa] DP + pressure in
duct/AHU [Pa]
Boiler outlet pressure values for gaSteam: pressure limits at boiler outlet Pa (PSI)

Notice: a pressure of around -200 Pa (-0.029 psi) at the boiler outlet corresponds to around 20 mm (0.78″) of water inside the boiler (for all sizes).

Tips for the correct installation of steam and condensate pipes for lengths
greater than 4 m (13 ft): · the steam distribution line must have “T” fittings
for the condensate drain. The distance between two “T” fittings must not
exceed 5 m (16 ft); · downstream of each “T” fitting there must be a drain
with a train trap, minimum diameter 200 mm (8″), to prevent steam from
escaping; · the condensate drain line must always be positioned lower than the
steam line; · for steam lines that change from horizontal to vertical, a
condensate drain must be provided at the lowest point on the line; · the
condensate drain line must have a minimum slop of 5° to facilitate drainage; ·
condensate from the ultimateSAM distributor or more complex systems must be
connected to water temperature reduction
devices (if required) before being discharged into the building’s drain line.
Excessive quantities of condensate (for example, deriving from multiple
ultimateSAM distributors) must not be carried into the humidifier; · each
individual condensate drain line must be fitted with a drain trap before
running to the main drain line; · the condensate drain line must have no
restrictions in size and the drain trap must be filled with water before
starting.

Notice: the power cable must be sized in compliance with the local regulations
in force. The humidifier power supply line must be equipped with an disconnect
switch and protection fuses suitably sized for the short-circuit current, to
be fitted by the installer.
Notice: on the outdoor models, the heaters, where featured, must have its own
independent power supply line, not shared with the humidifier.
9.1.4 Auxiliary circuit transformer
The multi-voltage auxiliary circuit transformer has a primary winding for 230
V (protected by fuses, 10.3×38 mm) and a secondary winding (24 V). The
transformer is connected and checked in the factory, according to the rated
voltage.
9.1.5 Main control board
The auxiliary connections must be made by inserting the cables into the
electrical panel compartment through the cable glands on the side (1 – Fig.
9.i) or on the bottom of the humidifier (2 – Fig. 9.a, UL outdoor versions
only). It is recommended to secure the probe, remote ON/OFF contact connection
cables etc. with appropriate cable ties, in order to prevent disconnection.

9.2 Steam production control signals
Depending on the type of signal used, steam production can be enabled and/or
managed in different ways (ON/OFF or modulating).
IMPORTANT the probe inputs are protected against short-circuits, and the
maximum current delivered (3U) is 50 mA. Despite this, it is recommended to
configure the “Control type” before connecting the probes to the terminals.
To help users configure the humidifier, a screen index is shown at the top
right of the display. The screen index corresponds to the sequence in each
menu in order to reach the specific page.

Notice: in industrial environments (IEC EN61000-6-2) the signal cables leaving the humidifier must not exceed 30 m (98′) in length: steam production signal cable (terminals 1U, 2U), digital remote on/off input (terminals 7U, 8U) and shielded cable for RS485 communication.
9.3 Control with humidity probes
The main control board, connected to a room humidity probe, manages steam
production based on the humidity measured. A second outlet humidity limit
probe can also be connected: with this configuration, typical of air handling
units, the controller continues managing steam production according to the
humidity requirement, however production is limited according to the relative
humidity measured in the outlet duct.

11. STARTUP AND USER INTERFACE
11.1 Commissioning
After having connected power using the main disconnect switch (ON), switch the
appliance on by moving the switch on the front panel (1 Fig. 11.a) to “ON”.
The activation sequence will start, which includes an initial phase, an
autotest phase and finally actual operation. Each step in the activation
sequence is identified by a different display.
Indoor models
Outdoor models

Fig. 11.a
11.2 Activation sequence
1. APPLICATION PROGRAM RUN THE FIRST TIME The humidifier logo (gaSteam) is
displayed. When starting the first time, the menu language needs to be
selected: English, Italiano, Deutsch, Français, Español. Select the desired
language and confirm. This screen is displayed for 60 seconds.
2. WIZARD When starting the first time, a wizard is provided to quickly set
the main humidifier parameters. The wizard comprises ten steps (some of which
may not be displayed, if not necessary): 1/10 model (only if the replacement
controller is not configured): select and set the parameters relating to the
model (size, voltage,…); 2/10 water hardness: auto or user-defined. If
selecting “auto”, the controller automatically sets the hardness of the water,
based on the conductivity reading; 3/10 manual water hardness setting. The
possible options are: · Demineralised, maintenance at 3000h (hours) · 0-10°f,
maintenance at 3000h (hours) · 10-20°f, maintenance at 1500h (hours) ·
20-30°f, maintenance at 1000h (hours) · 30-40°f, maintenance at 800h (hours);
4/10 control type: external On/Off signal, proportional to external signal
with limit probe, proportional to external signal, one humidity probe, one
temperature probe, one humidity probe and limit probe, one temperature and
limit probe, two temperature probes (average), two humidity probes (average);
5/10 select the main room probe type: 0-1V (active), 0-10V (active), 2-10V
(active), 0-20 mA (active), 4-20 (active), NTC (passive); 6/10 select the
limit probe type: 0-1V (active), 0-10V (active), 2-10V (active), 0-20 mA
(active), 4-20 (active), NTC (passive); 7/10 set the limits for active probes.
· Room min (%): set the minimum relative humidity limit rH% for the main
probe; · Room max (%): set the maximum relative humidity limit rH% for the
main probe; · Limit min (%): set the minimum relative humidity limit rH% for
the limit probe; · Limit max (%): set the maximum relative humidity limit rH%
for the limit probe; 8/10 set the drain to dilute cycles: auto or user-
defined. If selecting “auto”, the controller automatically sets the number of
evaporation cycles that must occur between two consecutive drain to dilute
cycles. The selection is made by reading the inlet water conductivity using
the conductivity meter, thus reducing water usage, reducing maintenance and
extending boiler life; 9/10 manual drain to dilute cycle setting. Enter the
number of evaporation cycles before forcing a dilution cycle. 10/10date and
time setting. At the end of the guided procedure, a message prompts whether to
show the wizard again when next starting? Yes/No
3. AUTOTEST PROCEDURE Indicated on the display by the humidifier status shown
as “AUTOTEST”. Whenever the humidifier is started (switch moved from OFF to
ON), an autotest procedure is run by default to check operation of the level
sensor and the appliance as a whole. The autotest procedure involves a water
fill cycle to above the high level (green LED), followed by a drain cycle
until below the minimum level (red LED). The procedure then refills the unit
with water in order to restart production (if required).
Notice: all the screens in the wizard (except for the language selection
screen) remain on the display until the user enters the settings.
4. OPERATION The humidifier starts operating and the standard display is
shown. If an alarm is active, the corresponding icon (bell) comes on red, see
the chapter “Alarms” for the complete list and description.
Notice: model selection and configuration (only for non-configured replacement
controllers). If needing to replace the controller only (controller
replacement part number UGKA0D0040), the first time the controller is powered
on, the model will need to be set (capacity, power supply and version).

11.3 Different types of gas supply
IMPORTANT: the appliances are delivered calibrated and tested to operate on
natural gas (methane). The humidifier can be supplied by the following types
of gas: · Natural gas (G20-G25 methane – factory setting). · Propane-Butane
(LPG G30-G31).
IMPORTANT: models UG150, UG300, UG450 are not certified to operate on propane
– butane (G30- G31).
A number of parameters on the electronic controller need to be set for correct
operation, calibrating combustion by checking the values of CO2 (% vol) and CO
(ppm) in the flue gas:

11.3.1 Gas burner calibration
The burner is pre-calibrated in the testing phase by the manufacturer;
nonetheless, combustion should be checked and adjusted if necessary.
11.3.2 Preparing to analyse combustion
If the flue gas exhaust pipe is positioned horizontally or vertically: 5.
remove the cap from the inspection section of the humidifier flue gas exhaust
pipe; 6. insert the flue gas analyser probe; 7. perform the flue gas analysis.
Once analysis has been completed, reposition the cap on the inspection
section.

Fig. 11.j
· to increase the CO2 value, turn the screw clockwise; to decrease it, turn it anticlockwise . · replace the cap on the regulator.
Notice: make small variations, as the adjustment screw is very sensitive.
IMPORTANT: once the calibration at MINIMUM output has been performed, check
the MAXIMUM calibration again, as it may have been affected by the MINIMUM
calibration; if necessary, repeat the operations described in Burner
calibration at MAXIMUM output. Then reset the burner to automatic operation.
PROPANE/BUTANE/LPG CALIBRATION The only units that can also run on propane,
butane and LPG are: UG45, UG90 and UG180 (UG150, UG300 and UG450 only run on
natural gas). Do not ignite the burner (factory calibrated for natural gas!)
with propane or LPG until turning the screw (B – Fig. 11.c, 11.d)
approximately 2.5-3 turns clockwise to adjust maximum gas flow. In fact, the
heat power of propane is about three times that of natural gas (methane),
therefore it is essential to first reduce the maximum gas flow before
ignition. After having reduced the gas flow rate, ignite the burner and
subsequently calibrate the gas flow rate by analysing the flue gas, as
reported in the previous paragraphs.
