WARNING
Never service any component without first disconnecting all
electrical supplies to the unit or severe personal injury or
death could occur.
CAUTION
Insure that all power sources conform to the unit requirements
or damage to the unit may result.
These units have been designed for any tap, softened, de-
ionized (DI) or reverse osmosis (RO) water applications.
With tap/softened water, an adjustable drain cycle and
skimmer cycle are provided to automatically drain away
some water contaminants; reducing cleaning intervals. For
DI/RO water, the system is virtually maintenance free. The
skimming cycle may be deactivated via the keypad.
Follow installation instructions CAREFULLY to avoid creating
unsafe conditions. All electrical wiring should be done and
checked by a qualified electrician using copper conductors
only. All piping connections should be made and leak-tested
by a qualified service technician, per instructions in this
manual.
Make certain that the power source conforms with to the
electrical requirements of the unit. Disconnect power before
installing or servicing the unit. If power disconnect is out of
visual sight, lock it into open position and tag it to prevent
unexpected application of power. Failure to do so could
result in fatal electrical shock.
WARNING
Do not depend upon a unit control switch or other switch as
the sole means of disconnecting power when installing or
servicing the unit. Always disconnect power at main circuit
breaker. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock.
Special attention should be given to grounding this unit. To
prevent the risk of electrocution, the unit must be securely
and adequately grounded. This should be accomplished by
connecting a grounded conductor from the service panel to
the grounding lug located inside the control section of the
unit. To ensure proper ground, a qualified field technician
must test the grounding means.
Do not defeat safety interlocks, such as the high temperature
limit or door switch. Do not attempt to operate the unit without
the doors installed.
In cases in which property damage may result from
malfunction of this unit, a backup system should be used.
WARNING
Do not place unit in a location where service personnel can
not safely service this equipment or personal injury could
occur.
INSTALLATION
WARNING
Open all disconnect switches and secure in that position
before installing unit. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury or death from electrical shock.
UNIT LOCATION & MOUNTING
The Herrmersion – RE unit is designed to be mounted on a
wall and should be located as close to the dispersion means
as possible (i.e. close to the duct being served with the
steam). This will minimize energy losses.
The unit requires electrical and plumbing connections and
should be mounted in such a way to facilitate access to these
connections.
In order for the magnetic water level switches and the
skimmer function to operate properly, the unit must be
mounted level and plumb with reference to the front and top
of the unit.
The cabinet is designed to safely dissipate heat to protect
the electronics. Herrmersion – RE humidifiers, steam piping
and any other accessories should be located in a manner to
facilitate routine inspection and any necessary maintenance.
The unit should not be located above (false ceilings) or
around valuable property where a malfunction could cause
damage. Minimum clearance around the cabinet must be
maintained.
Minimum Access Requirements
Left
2”
Right
24”
Top
12”
Bottom
10”
Front
36”
Minimum access is 36” to the front for periodic removal of the
steam tank for service and 24” to the right side for access to
the electrical components.
Four lag bolts (2) 5/16” and (2) ¼” are supplied for securing
the unit to the wall. Install the top two lag bolts (5/16”)
according to the dimensions shown below. Hang the unit
on the wall, and then install the bottom two lag bolts (1/4”).
Finally, secure all four lag bolts. Be sure the unit is level and
mounted directly to a wall constructed of wood studs at least
2” thick (or equivalent).
Mounting location must be capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Please refer to the previous table for
operating weight of the unit.
