5.2 OPERATION
After completing the above set-up procedure, the Model 5472 Ultrasonic
Humidifier should operate properly.
5.2.1 Features
This humidifier operates in the same manner as the Model 5462. The
principal difference between the two systems is as follows:
1. The Model 5472 uses a small, linear air pump to force the mist into a
chamber instead of the small blower fan used in the Model 5462. The
pump can withstand substantially more backpressure than the blower fan.
This enables the humidifier to operate efficiently with very little chamber
venting.
2. The water and mist cannot come in contact with any electronic
components, which can happen in the Model 5462. The electronics are
completely isolated from any contact with the water in the Model 5472.
3. The Model 5472 can be modified to use compressed air or an inert gas as
the propulsion source instead of the air pump. The 5472 can also be
modified for to be a close-loop system. Contact ETS for details.
4. The Model 5472 uses an electronic float switch to control the water level,
minimizing the chances of any water overflow from the unit. A second
electronic float switch acts as a water sensor to protect the Ultrasonic
Transducer.
NOTE: If the 5472 Ultrasonic Transducer turns on without water it will
cause damage to the Transducer Element. For replacement Transducer
Elements contact ETS for details.
5. The Model 5472 includes a water deionizing column as a standard
feature.
5.22 Operating Precautions
The Model 5472 should operate reliably if the following precautions are
observed:
1.
Always run the humidifier directly to the chamber.
Never attempt to combine the humidifier output with another air or gas
source.
