Operation
Start-up and operation:
LW series controller
The LW series controller is a custom microprocessor-based water 
level controller for DRI-STEEM humidifiers. The features of this 
controller are:
•  Water level control
•  Automatic drain and flush
•  Variable skim times
• End-of-season drain
•   Onboard diagnostics: Ready water, Full, and Drain LEDs to 
assist troubleshooting
When power is activated, the solenoid-operated water fill valve 
opens, filling the evaporating chamber until the water level reaches 
the top probe (see Figure 3-1), then the fill valve closes.
To ensure that a water seal is created in the field-installed water 
seal:
1.  Disconnect probe plug and cable from probe rod assembly 
(located on top of the tank), allowing fill valve to energize and 
tank to fill.
2.  Let fill water overfill humidifier tank and flow out of 
skim/overflow port for several seconds to fill the water seal in 
the drain line.
3.  Reconnect probe plug and cable. Create a call for humidify to 
ensure fill valve opens.
Important:
Timer logic input wire (see Figure 32-1) must 
be connected per wiring diagram for proper 
automatic drain/flush and end-of-season drain 
operation. Power light blinks off twice at 
one-second intervals when these functions are 
disabled. Verify wiring with diagram supplied 
with humidifier.
