Test Points

Each circuit board (see Figure 13) features three test points to 

aid in the troubleshooting process.   Each of these test points 

works on a 0-5 VDC scale. “0 VDC” = 0%. “5 VDC” = 100%.  All 

readings are between the test point and ground.

Test Point #1:

Provides exact reading of Time Cycle setting. 

30-180% = 0-5 VDC (Factory set: 1 volt)

Test Point #2:

Provides exact reading of Low Drain threshold. 

50-100% = 0-5 VDC (Factory set: 3 volts)

Test Point #3:

Provides maximum percentage of output. 

50-100% = 0-5 VDC (Factory set: 5 volts)

SECTION V TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

All  HERRMIDIFIER  6500  Series  humidifiers  are  manufactured 

under strict quality control and are subjected to a complete 

operational test prior to shipment. All circuit board adjustments 

are made at the factory and should not be adjusted beyond the 

guidelines set in this troubleshooting guide without first consulting 

a factory representative. The following information is for your 

reference.  If  you  still  experience  difficulty  after  trying  these 

remedies, contact your HERRMIDIFIER representative.

WARNING!

The  HERRMIDIFIER  6500  Series  Electronic  Steam 

Humidifier  cabinet  was  designed  to  house  and  shield 

the  components  from  outside  interference.  Absolutely 

NO other components may be mounted inside or 

be  electrically  tapped  into  the  humidifier  without 

HERRMIDIFIER’s  express  written permission. Failure to 

heed this warning will void your warranty.
