SKGE3 Gas Fired Humidifier 

Installation Instructions and User Manual

Start-Up 

Start-up 

1.  Proceed to start-up the humidifier, as follow: 

 

a)  Open  the  front  access  door  of  the  humidifier  cabinet;  make  sure  that  the 

manual drain valve is closed. 

 

b)  Start up the humidifier by pushing the 

 (ON/OFF) button located on the 

humidifier control panel. 

 

c)  After 5 seconds, water will start to fill. 

Verify that the water level slowly rises in the water level sight glass located 
on the side of the evaporation chamber 

 

d)  Verify that there is a humidity demand. 

Humidity demand is displayed on the humidifier LCD screen. 

 

e)  The humidifier LCD screen will display  the  water level in percentage (%). 

When the display indicates that the water level is at 100%, verify that the 
water level in the water level sight glass is approximately 20mm below the 
safety belt band of the evaporation chamber. 

 

f)  If there is a humidity demand, the burner combustion blower(s) will start, 

and after approximately 90 seconds the combustion will start. 
From a cold water start, the humidifier will require 5 to 10 minutes to 
produce steam. 
The Humidifier LCD display will indicate water temperature and flue gases 
temperature. 

 

g)  During normal operation while steam is produced, the water temperature 

must be 100

˚C and the flue gases temperature around 120 to 200˚C. 

Water level percentage must not indicate less than 95%. 

 

h)  Observe for water, steam and flue gases leaks. 

 

Combustion Field 

Adjustment 

2.  Please refer to the 

Combustion field adjustment instructions

 enclosed in this 

package to perform this operation 

 

Safety Test 

3.  Check the location of the air flow switch in the system and its operation by 

stopping the fan. 
With no air movement in the air duct, the humidifier must automatically stop 
the combustion burner(s). 

 

Drain and Reset 

4.  Turn the humidifier OFF, by pushing the 

 (ON/OFF) push button on the 

control panel. 

 

5.  Execute a manual drain, by pushing the 

 (DRAIN) push button on the 

control panel. 
A water jet directed on the water level sensor located in the water level sight 
glass will start and create bubbles around it. 

 

6.  Reset the air flow switch and humidistat(s) to the proper value, if needed. 

 

End 

7.  The humidifier is now ready for normal operation.
