Installing steam cylinder
1. Make sure strainer is pressed into steam cylinder drain outlet
and strainer flange is flush with bottom of cylinder outlet. See
Figure 12-1.
2. Use water to lubricate drain outlet on bottom of cylinder and
o-ring in drain valve body. See Figure 12-2.
3. With Warning label on cylinder facing you, lower cylinder drain
outlet into drain valve body, and rotate cylinder so side tabs line
up with cylinder guides inside cabinet. Push down on cylinder
until drain outlet is fully seated in drain valve body.
4. Connect high water sensor (yellow) wire to single pin
surrounded by plastic shoulder on cylinder.
5. Connect electrode plugs to pins on cylinder. Make sure all plugs
fit snugly and are fully engaged on pins.
Note: If cylinder plugs becomes loose, obtain replacement plugs
from DRI-STEEM. See “Replacement parts" on Pages 55
and 57 for part numbers.
Important: Cylinders with six electrodes have color-coded
dots on the cylinder and color bands on the electrode plugs.
When connecting the plugs, match the band colors on the plugs
with the dot colors on the cylinder. Refer to the wiring diagram
shipped with the humidifier if necessary.
Condensate return guidelines
To prevent overfilling the steam cylinder, follow the guidelines
below when returning condensate to the cylinder:
• When condensate can be returned to the steam cylinder:
– Single tube dispersion
– Less than 20 lbs/hr (9.1 kg/h) of steam production
– 20' (6 m) or less of steam hose, tubing, or pipe between
humidifier and dispersion
• When condensate should be wasted to the drain:
– Ultra-sorb or Rapid-sorb dispersion
– Single tube dispersion with condensate drain and:
- 20 lbs/hr (9.1 kg/h) or of more steam production, or
- More than 20' (6 m) of steam hose, tubing, or pipe between
humidifier and dispersion
