01. Commissioning

⚠ Before you commission your new equipment, please read through the operating instructions!

Commissioning Check List

- Within the equipment are the accessories: mains plug, radio sensor system, remote control.

- Remove the upper part, withdraw parts and close the equipment cover again.

- Install batteries of the remote control and the radio sensor.

- Check radio sensor system for functionality. Briefly illuminate the diode by pressing the black knob. A warning tone indicates that the batteries must be replaced. When changing the batteries mind the +/- poles.

- Fill device with tap water. Observe the light emitting diodes of the water level fill indicator. Max. 50 litres – do not overfill!

- Enter desired values with the infrared remot control (Air humidity, blower stage). Wait 10 seconds until the storage process is finished.

02. Location

The humidifier should be placed on an even surface. This facilitates circulation and it is advantageous if the heat source (convector or similar) is located nearby. Avoid subjecting the humidifier to the effects of outside temperatures in excess of +70°C.

03. Power Consumption

The humidifier is connected to a 230V AC, 50 Hz socket outlet. The power consumption rating is max. 150 VA. It is advisable to protect the electrical supply line with a 10 Amp fuse. For safety reasons, the power plug must be disconnected when carrying out all work on the humidifier.

04. Humidity

The electronic hygrostat (radio-sensor-system) automatically controls the humidifier. The required humidity values can be set by means of the remote control.

⚠ Disconnect the mains plug before opening the equipment!

⚠️ Supplied with two 24G Size AAA 1.5V batteries.Please do not use any other type!

07. Filling

(not applicable for humidifiers with automatic water supply)

The device is filled with water via the upper filler flap using a watering can (only up to the max. level mark, 50 litres). The water level is indicated by light emitting diodes (max. 5 stages). Both normal tap water and softened water can be used to operate the humidifier.

Do not use distilled water! Take care to fill correctly, since spilt water could enter the equipment and cause a short circuit. The maximum temperature of the water must not exceed 35 °C.

08. Water level indicator

The water level is sensed by copper electrodes and is indicated by LEDs on the control panel. The device switches off automatically if the red „Top up water“ LED comes on. A small quantity of water always remains in the tank (approx. 15 litres). It is advisable to regularly (approx. every 3-4 weeks) drain off the residual water depending on the degree of soiling

and calcium (lime) content. The opportunity should be taken to clean the water tank with a sponge or a wet vacuum cleaner. The electrode rods require occasional cleaning to ensure they do not indicate incorrect values or cause the humidifier to shut down owing to calcification of the voltage electrodes. Distilled water must not be used because it leads to malfunctions in the water level indicator.

Electrode rods

09. Filter change indicator

The B 500 atmospheric humidifier has a filter change indicator. The frequency with which the filter needs to be changed depends on the length of time for which the pump runs, the hardness of the water, and the fan. Under the best circumstances it will have to be changed after 98 days, in the worst after 56 days, but this is only a recommendation; the situation can be affected one way or the other by such external factors as air pollution or the hardness of the water. In any case it is advisable to make regular visual checks of the filter Please see the section on „Changing the filter” for detailed instructions. When you have changed the filter you have to reset the indicator manually to its initial position. Please proceed as described in the section on „Menu programming“ to Menu 33, where you can reset the filter change indicator at any time to its initial position of 98 days.

Filter change

Depending on the operating time of the humidifier, the special filter is used up during the course of time as a result of mineral deposits in the water and dust deposits in the air (every 8-16 weeks depending on the water hardness, dust accumulation and operating time). The filter should not be washed as this reduces the evaporation capacity of the device. All humidifi-

ers are equipped with a BIO filter (Order No. 1603) as standard (high evaporation capacity). Foam filters (Order No. 1601) are also still available. In addition, we also offer a special activated charcoal cleaning filter in a 2-pack (Order No. 1605).

In order to ensure perfect operation, only use Original Replacement Filters and Original Replacement Parts. We undertake no responsibility or warranty for any water damage or reductions in performance.

12. Fan settings

The fan can be set by the remote control unit at any of five speeds (4 set speeds and one automatic function). The required speed can be set with the Fan button (see above) on the remote-control unit. When the Fan button is pressed the bar indicator starts to flash. Pressing the + or the - side increases or decreases the fan output. The automatic function enables the appliance to control its own speed depending on the output required. It does this by measuring the changes in atmospheric humidity and increasing or decreasing the fan speed accordingly. To activate the automatic fan, press the „-” side of the Fan button and hold it down until the last bar has disappeared from the indicator and the red diode with the fan symbol has gone out. To deactivate it, simply increase the fan speed with the Fan button until the red diode comes on again.

b) Radio sensor circuit board

Close-up of a circuit board with labeled components and an inset showing a microcontroller (no readable text or symbols)

For each slide control there are only two positions: „ON“ = up and „OFF“ = down, which give 16 possible combinations. Please note: each appliance and its radio sensor (a + b) must have the same coding.

You have the option here of controlling a number of appliances in one room from one sensor, with all of them

identically coded to the one sensor, or of operating each one independently, each with a separate sensor and different codings. Please proceed as follows.

Procedure:

1. Carefully lift the cover of the radio sensor with a small screwdriver and take it off.
2. Code the radio sensor by setting the slide control with a small screwdriver.
3. Remove the housing of the B 500 air humidifier.
4. Loosen the four of screws on the top side of the control panel and lift it off.
5. Code the receiver circuit board on the rear side of the control panel by setting the slide control with a small screwdriver.

The coding of the radio sensor and of the receiver circuit board must match exactly (note ON and OFF). Otherwise there is no certainty that the system will function.

1. Close the cover of the radio sensor again.
2. Fasten the control panel down again with the four screws and set the top part of the housing onto it.
3. Breathe lightly on the radio sensor to check the functioning of the system

15. Fault code display

The B 500 Professional has an independent monitoring system that gives you the possibility of spotting errors quickly and reacting accordingly.

The fault display can be combined with an acoustic signal so that a „beep” can be heard in addition to the display being shown. You can select this setting yourself. Please refer to the section on „Menu programming”.

The following fault codes tell you what problem has occurred and what has to be done.

⚠️ If a fault code is displayed, only the On/Off button and the PROG and SET key on the remote control unit can be used.

17. Water pump

The immersion pump can be removed from the centre

plate by turning it in the direction indicated by the arrow. Take particular care when installing the pump to ensure that the plug connection as well as the pump hoses and the Y-piece, or on devices with UV-technology the connection hoses to the V4 A-pipe, are firmly fitted.

Bayonet Closure On Off

18. Hygiene products

To prevent the development of germs, algae, mould or bacteria and the odours they cause in the water container of a humidifier, we recommend the use of

adequate hygiene products such as LiQVit and Secosan. Secosan can be placed directly in the water container. When exchanging the water in the reservoir, simply take it out and the Secosan Stick can be used again. Depending on the volume of the

Close-up of a metallic screw with a circular head and textured surface (no visible text or symbols)

water container, there are different Secosan Products available. Like the Secosan Stick, LiQVit is also designed to keep the water in your humidifier clean and free of bacteria, algae and mould. Apart from that, it also reduces the waters' surface tension, which leads to an increased rate of dehumidification. Working against lime scale, it can also significantly increase the lifetime of the evaporation filter.

LiQVit Hydromethanol & PANI HYDRO TIGETMENT

19. Cleaning

The device should be cleaned of calcium (lime) deposits and soiling every 3-4 months. For this purpose, the upper section of the housing is detached, the filter removed and the centre plate cleaned. A commercially available cleaning agent can be used for this purpose. All traces of the cleaning agent must be removed (rinse thoroughly with clean water).

⚠ Do not use benzene or other solvents that attack plastic.

The humidifier should be cleaned thoroughly once a year (preferably by our maintenance service). Use commercially available limescale remover (decalcifying agent) to remove lime residue. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water. The water distributor is open at the top, easily accessible and should be cleaned of any residue. If blocked, the drain holes in the water distributor can be cleaned with a knitting needle or similar. While cleaning, check to ensure there are no sludge deposits in the pump hoses. If necessary, they should be cleaned with a narrow bottle brush or they should be replaced. Should the equipment remain out of service for longer periods, the residual water is to be emptied out, the filter is to be removed and cleaning is to be carried out.

Automatic water supply

The connection to the local water main must be made by a qualified specialist, i.e. a licensed installation technician. (Please note the water supply utility's regulations. It may be advisable to fit a back-flow stop valve.) We recommend our 1.5-metre long safety pressure hose for the connection between the water pipe and the appliance (Product no 1754). The automatic system for topping up the water incorporates a magnetic valve. In the factory the appliance is set at automatic water supply at a maximum fill level of 30 litres, i.e. when the fill level reaches 30 litres the water supply is shut off. If the water supply is active, this is shown by a running light (10-50 litre diodes flash on after the other). The water supply is controlled by the electronic rods in the water level display. To ensure faultless functioning of the automatic water supply it is therefore necessary for the electrode rods to be cleaned regularly with a sponge and freed of any deposits of chalk or dirt. In order to avoid overfilling, when the fill level of 50 litres is reached a malfunction message is issued, i.e. the appliance is automatically switched off, an audible warning signal is given, and Fault Code 04 appears in the display. If the water supply is defective and the water level does not change although the magnetic valve is open, the process is terminated and Fault Code 01 appears in the display. Please refer to the next page (Rinsing system) for a sketch and the dimensions. We recommend for safety's sake that our safety collection tub (Product no. 1752) should be used, connected to our safety water sensor (Product no. 1757), or that an addition external water valve should be used (Product no. 1753).

⚠ The maximum water pressure must not exceed 10 bar!

Automatic rinsing system

The purpose of the rinsing system is to let the residual water out of the tank at regular intervals and to let in fresh water. The rinsing system can be started manually via the remote control unit by means of the „Flush“ button or alternatively via Menu point 31, with automatic flushing intervals between 1 and 7 days. For making the setting please refer to the section on „Menu programming.

    C --> D["Water level diodes"]
    D --> E["Fresh water is let in"]

An automatic rinsing system is only possible in combination with the automatic water supply. There is then no need for any manual water exchange. The connection of the rinsing system to the local waste-water mains must be made by a specialist technician, i.e. a licensed installation technician.

When the waste-water hose is being connected it is important to make sure that it is not laid in an upward slope and that its length does not exceed 1.5 metres because the pump's capacity is not limitless and otherwise no pressure would be built up. It might therefore be necessary to fill the hose with water beforeconnecting it so that a siphon can be created.

Activated charcoal cleaning filters

The two cleaning filters can be easily removed from the clips. The service life is approx. 6 months which primarily depends on the dirt in the room air (e.g. smoke and dust accumulation).

Air scoop with flexible hose

These accessories are especially used in church organs. The scoop is fitted or screwed to the outlet of the B 500. Provided with a flexible aluminium ventilation hose (150 mm), which carries the humidified air into the critical organ area. The hygrostat must also be positioned in this area. The hygrostat controls the B 500 humidifier located on the outside in a position with good access.

UV-technology with Calcium Conversion Cartridge

The low pressure mercury vapour lamp used in the device operates in the UV-C range in which the wavelength kills most microorganisms. The humidifier water is therefore effectively disinfected and is fed into the water circuit of the humidifier with reduced germ content. Permanent magnets produce a magnetic field, past which the humidifier water is fed. As a result, the molecular structure of the calcium is changed so that it can no longer collect on surfaces in the device. Always keep the passage in the calcium conversion cartridge clean. (see page B17)

⚠ Using softened water can lead to heavy damage to the lime transformation cartridge. It's strongly recommended to avoid the combined usage!

Changing UV-tubes

1. Please first remove the switch panel as described on page 5. The UV-tube is located under the switch panel, next to the pump motor.
2. Pull out the UV-tube on the connecting cable and replace the tube.
3. Reattach the electrical connecting head to the UV-tube properly and insert it into the glass tube again with care.

The UV-lamp is to be disposed of in accordance with legal requirements.

The UV-tube has an operating life of about 5000 hours.

⚠️ Please take care that the quartz glass body in which the source sits is not damaged when fitting and removing the UV-source.

All accessories can be retrofitted at any time at the factory or by an authorised dealer.

23. Maintenance check lists

⚠️ Only authorised and qualified staff are permitted to carry out the following work!

Time interval*	Cleaning and operating instructions(Always disconnect mains supply plug before performing any work on the device!)
Every day	Visual check of water level via LED display (10-50) litres. Device switches off automatically at residual water level of approx. 15 litres.Does not apply in case of automatic water supply.Visual check of indicated humidity value via digital display.
3-5 weeks	Lift upper part of device upwards.Visual check of filter. In case of strong pollution replace filter. (Use original filters only, otherwise operation of the device may be impaired). When inserting the new filter, always take care that it will be inserted flush with water distribution system (see operation manual „Replacing filters“).The two lateral snap bows of the filter must be inserted properly, since otherwise the filter can come into contact with the upper part of the casing, which may cause water escapes.Please check at the same time whether the outlet holes in the water distribution system are free from residues. Remove any residues such as lime or dust for instance, by means of a needle, a screwdriver or even use a vacuum cleaner for this.Lift middle part of device off in upward direction.Remove remaining water from the water container and clean the tub (bottom part).This is necessary in particular when using fresh water in order to avoid higher concentrations of residues.Visual check of the copper electrode bars (see operation manual). Remove lime and other residues by means of a household sponge, or if necessary use a rag for this.
12-16 weeks	As described in the above section the filter must be replaced after 12 to 16 weeks in any case, since otherwise the operation of the device may be impaired. When replacing the filter check the water distribution for passage.After this time has elapsed and in case of heavy calcification and dirt deposits the water tub (bottom part) should be cleaned by means of an anti-lime agent from an anti-lime agent that is customary in the trade. After cleaning with such an agentalways rinse the water tube well in order to avoid residues remaining in the device.
12 months	General cleaning of the device by means of anti-lime agent - clean pump tubes using a bottle brush or replace them - clean the body of the fan by using the extension nozzle of the vacuum cleaner - clean the body of the pump - clean the copper electrodes
Time interval*	Cleaning and operating instructions(Always disconnect mains supply plug before performing any work on the device!!!)
12 months	With the type of equipment using UV degermination and lime conversion: Check and clea the UV-lamp and the lime conversion cartridge (see sheet on UV degermination and lime conversion cleaning) After cleaning, always rinse with clear water to avoid residues of the anti-lime agent remaining in the device:Do not use agents that contain benzene or other agent types likely to affect plastic when cleaning.Visual check of UV-lamp operation. Operation of the UV-lamp is indicated while the device is working.If the UV-lamp has to be replaced (Operating life 5,000-8,000 hours), proceed as described in the operating instructions under „Replacing the UV-tube“.Lift the upper part of the device upwards for cleaning the lime conversion cartridge.Lift the centre plate upwards out of the water tank (lower part).The UV-degermination arrangement is located below the centre plate next to the pump.Inspect stainless steel tube visually and remove fouling.Withdraw pump hoses from the stainless steel tube and check the passage of the stainless steel tube hoses. Remove fouling.Take care that the quartz glass body is not damaged.The lime conversion cartridge (blue) is located on the right side between the water feed and the centre plate of the device.The pump hoses can be removed by pulling them off.Visually check the passage. Carefully remove lime deposits with a drill (max. diameter 7 mm) or screwdriver.Take care when fitting that the hoses are securely seated on the plug connector.

* The time intervals indicated apply in case of normal water and normal production of dust in the air and may thus vary either in length or even require shorter cleaning intervals.

The batteries must be removed before the appliance is scrapped.

They must not be thrown in the dustbin but handed in for proper disposal.

24. Correcting faults

If your device is not working properly, please check the following points:

Problem Cause What to do?
