Features Page
The Features page presents user defined settings that can be changed if desired. There are 3
main categories: Water Management, Feature Settings, and Advanced Settings. A table
describing the parameters and values is outlined below.
Table 3: Water Management
Water management
Parameter
Description
Drain cooling
When On, the fill valve is activated at any time that the drain valve is
activated to cool the drain water. (Default = On).
Drain mode
Configures when a corrective drain will be performed in case the software
detects excess current. Fixed ED = drain at 115% of full capacity. Float ED =
drain at 115% of current demand. (Default = Fixed ED).
Drain calculation
Sets how the humidifier drains to control cylinder water conductivity. Basic =
normal drain, Prefill = fill then drain, Multi = fill then drain to trigger point
until drain duration elapsed. (Default= Basic).
Force 3 day drain
When On, the humidifier will drain the contents of the cylinder every 3 days
regardless of demand or idle condition. It can improve performance for
water conditions with sediment or other contaminants. (Default = Off).
Drain factor
Increases or decreases the drain time used to control cylinder water
conductivity. It should not normally need to be adjusted. A NORTEC
representative will provide instructions if it should need to be adjusted.
(Default = 1.0).

Features Setting
Parameter
Description
Idle Mode
Configures operation when no demand is present. Idle Only = no action.
Idle Drain = drain cylinder after Idle Drain Time. Keep Warm = keep
cylinder warm by periodically engaging contactor. (Default = Idle Drain).
Short cycle Delay
When “On” reduces the capacity if short cycling is detected. This will reduce
the possibility of short cycling. (Default = Off).
Foam Detection
Configures when a corrective drain will be performed in case the software
detects excess current. Fixed ED = drain at 115% of full capacity. Float ED =
drain at 115% of current demand. (Default = Fixed ED).
Idle Drain time
When Idle Mode = Idle Drain configures time the humidifier waits with no
demand before the cylinder is drained. (Default = 72 hours).
Short Cycle time
Determines the time to poll for change of value when Short Cycling delay is
On.
Low Conductivity
For better performance on low conductivity water. Set to On if water
conductivity is below 250 micro-siemmens. (Default = Off)
