Water level - A

Water level - C
A conductivity probe system allows VAPOR-LOGIC
2
to
control water levels for optimum operating efficiency. The
three-probe system is monitored by the VAPOR-LOGIC
2
control, which performs all the necessary logic and timing
functions to provide total water level control and safety
shutdown.
VAPOR-LOGIC
2
automatically maintains the water level
between the upper two probes A and B. When the water
level falls below probe B, the fill valve is opened until the
water level reaches the upper probe A. (A two second
minimum delay is incorporated in the skim time software
to ensure that turbulence does not cause an inaccurate
fill reading.) An adjustable skim time allows for an
extended skim period (2-60 seconds) to reduce mineral
concentration within the humidifier. This adjustment can
be accessed through the key pad main menu. (See
page 8.) Probe C provides low water protection for the
heating elements. If the water level falls below probe C,
the heat source is de-energized. (See figure 6-1.)
In addition to controlling the water level, VAPOR-LOGIC
2
determines when the heat source is energized. If there is
a call for humidification, even during the fill cycle, the heat
source will stay on to provide continuous output.
Auto Drain Sequence
VAPOR-LOGIC
2
is pre-programmed to enter an automatic
drain, flush, and refill cycle based upon the actual time the
humidifier has produced steam. VAPOR-LOGIC
2
is
factory-set for a 40 hour (accumulated “ON” time) drain
interval, with 8 minute drain and 8 minute flush durations.
When VAPOR-LOGIC
2
initiates the auto drain sequence,
all demand for heat is turned off. The drain valve is then
opened to allow the tank to drain. At the end of the drain
cycle the fill valve is opened, initiating the flush cycle. The
drain valve remains open during the flush sequence for
drainage while the fill valve is open. At the completion of
the flush cycle, the drain valve closes, allowing the fill valve
to refill the evaporating chamber. The VAPOR-LOGIC
2
timers are reset and the humidifier returns to normal
“AUTO” operation.
End of Season Drain
If there is no call for humidification for a 72 hour period,
VAPOR-LOGIC
2
automatically drains the humidifier. The
drain valve is held open for one hour. The humidifier then
switches into “STDBY” mode until there is a call for
humidification, at which time VAPOR-LOGIC
2
automatical-
ly refills the evaporating chamber and resumes normal
operation.
The system is provided with an LCD display that has two
lines with sixteen characters per line. This display
provides all of the control, monitoring, and setup informa-
tion.
The key pad has four keys that are used to set and
control the system: MODE, SET, and the UP & DOWN
ARROW keys. (See figure 6-2.)
MODE
The MODE key is used to place the system into one of
four operating modes. Each time MODE is pressed, the
system will move to the next mode: AUTO, STANDBY,
DRAIN, and TEST.
The other three keys are multifunction keys whose
function depends upon the current system mode.
SET
The SET key, if pressed while the system is in either
AUTOMATIC or STANDBY mode, will place the system
into the Main Menu. (Note: if Access Code Protection
has been selected, an additional step is necessary. See
page 7 for further information.) Once in the Main Menu,
pressing SET will move the digital display through the
various Main Menu parameters.
