SK300-XL Steam Humidifier

 

 

26 

Control PC Board 

Main Printed circuit board designated is common to all SK300-XL series humidifier, ON/OFF or modulating; this 
pc board is equipped with an advanced microprocessor which controls all the humidifier functions. 
The Printed circuit board which is directly connected onto the main pc board is installed only on modulating 
model (suffix M). 
Staging PC Board (HEC002SK) is controlling the 2 on/off stages (Contactor 2 and Contator3) 

 

Main p.c. board 

 

There are 3 water level L.E.D.’s in the upper right hand 
side. They indicate the relative water height as sensed 
by the water level sensor. 

o

  If HI is illuminated:  water supply valve shuts off, 

o

  If LO is 

off

: An evaporation chamber filling is ordered, 

water supply valve opens

.

 

o

 If 

LA 

is 

off

: No water is detected by the water level 

sensor, the power to the elements is shot off. 

 

The 3 status L.E.D.’s at the center left side operate as 
follows: 

o

  FILL indicates that the water supply valve is feeding 

water. 

o

  DRAIN indicates the drain valve empties the 

container. 

o

  CONT indicates that power is supplied to the 

elements and the humidifier is producing steam. 

 

TEST button should be used when commissioning the 
humidifier; this will initiate a pre-programmed start-up 
cycle. The start up cycle cleans the supply water and 
the evaporation chamber (see section 1

1

 – start-up). 

This button enable also the set point control of the 
humidistat to humidifier display (see section 

9

.2 –

Programming) (this is available only on Modulating 
model). 

 

RESET button enable the bypass of start up sequence.

 

 

 

(Illus. 53) 

 

Modulating p.c. board 

 

The 3 jumpers at the center of the p.c. board (Control Input) are used for proper selection of the incoming 
control signal.  See section Control signal set-up 

 

The 3 jumpers at the bottom of the p.c. board (Humidity Input) are used for proper selection of the 
incoming humidity signal.  See section Humidity signal set up. 

 

Staging p.c. board 

This PCB does not require any set-up, it is connected to the contactor 2 and contactor 3 controlling the 2 on/off 
stages.
