How the Humidifier Works

The HM700 is an atmospheric steam generator that uses heat generated by electrical current flowing between submerged electrodes to generate steam. The HM700 is designed for on- demand air humidification via a steam distributor.

STEAM GENERATION

• Once the unit receives a demand signal and the safety loop between terminal 1 and 2 is closed, the humidifier closes the contactor and measures the electrical
• If the demand is lower than the actual output the inlet valve is kept closed and output is reduced by letting the water level in the cylinder decrease by evaporation.
• If demand is higher than the actual output, after a brief delay the fill valve is activated and water flows into the fill Water from the fill cup flows into the bottom of the cylinder through a hose connected to the drain valve housing.

NOTE: The cylinder is gravity fed from the fill cup. If backpressure from the steam line is too high it will cause water to back up in the fill cup and flow down the overflow line to the drain.

• As soon as the water in the cylinder comes in contact with the energized electrodes, current flows through the water. The resistance of the water to the electrical charge generates heat and in turn steam. The electrical current (and steam output) increases as the level of water increases, as more of the electrode becomes submerged. The unit continues to fill until the current matches demand or the high water sensor detects a high water level.
• The HM700 repeats the fill and boil down cycle repeatedly to match output to
• Over time minerals in the water will adhere to the cylinder The humidifier will automatically fill to a higher water level to maintain full capacity during the life of the cylinder. Eventually because of scale formation it will no longer be possible for the humidifier to reach its full

 

capacity. The HM700 software monitors this condition and, when detected, will stop operating and flash the yellow LED in a repeating sequence of 4 flashes.

DRAINS

• As steam is produced, minerals are left behind, increasing the conductivity of the water. The HM700 patented auto adaptive cycle will monitor the water conductivity and perform drains to maintain the water at optimal conductivity for peak
• The auto adaptive cycle ensures cylinder life is It does this by keeping the tightest control and most efficient use of water during the entire cylinder life.

STEAM DISTRIBUTION

Steam generated by the humidifier may be introduced into the air in several different ways. The most common method for adding the steam into the air is to mount a steam distributor tube in a supply air duct.

STEAM LINE

The steam line between the cylinder steam outlet and the distributor serves two purposes: it is used as a conduit to transfer the atmospheric steam from the humidifier to the distributor, as well as providing a means to remove condensate. See “Steam Lines and Condensate Return Instructions” on page 8 for information on selecting steam lines.

CONDENSATE RETURN

Whenever steam is distributed condensate is formed in the distribution system. Insulating steam lines is one important way to reduce the amount of condensate formed. Steam lines are sloped so that condensate does not collect in the lines and create a restriction to steam flow. The condensate must be collected and removed from the system so that it does not build up and leak into the duct. Condensate can be returned to the HM700 fill cup to reduce water waste or can be fed to drain.

SIZING

IMPORTANT

Fig. 2. Typical HM700 Installation. Measurements in inches (mm).

 The HM700 produces 11 gallons per day (GPD) when run on
The HM700 should only be installed if it has been sized properly. Do not use square feet when sizing a humidifier installation. Instead, cubic feet must be used, since the humidity is filling a volume of space (width x length x height). Also, take into consideration the “tightness” of a home’s construction.
120 V and 22 GPD when run on 240 V. See Figure 16 for details on configuring the HM700 to run on a different voltage.

LOCATION

Mount on a suitable wall or vertical surface. Do not sit the unit on the floor. Allow clearances required for plumbing and electrical connections. Clearance dimensions shown are for reference only and are the minimum required for maintenance of the humidifier. Consult local and national codes before final location and installation. Honeywell does not accept responsibility for installation code violations.

• Install only in areas with ambient temperature 41 to 104 °F (5 to 40 °C) and relative humidity 5 to 95 %.
• When possible install below the steam Take care to provide proper steam line routing and proper condensate traps.
• DO NOT locate the humidifier any further then absolutely necessary from the steam distributor location as net output will be reduced as a result of heat loss through the steam
• When possible, mount the HM700 humidifier at a height convenient for servicing.

NOTE: Do not mount on hot surfaces, where freezing can occur, vibrating surface, or floor.

Mounting with Keyholes

1. The HM700 humidifier is wall mounted using a keyhole located on the back of the unit
2. Use #8 x 2 in. (5 cm) screws mounted into 2×4 studs or 2 screws are needed, one for hanging the unit and one for securing so it will not lift off the keyhole.
3. Install the top screw so that 1/4 in. (6 mm) is exposed. Raise the unit and place the screw head through the
4. Make sure the unit is level and then insert and tighten the second screw through the bottom hole. Tighten the top See Fig. 3.

NOTE: Use screws longer than 2 in. (5 cm) if drywall or other spacer is present.

            Fig. 3. Mounting with keyholes.

PLUMBING

        Fig. 4. Water supply and drain connection

IMPORTANT

• Supply water should be cold, 34 to 68 ºF (1 to 20 ºC).
• All water supply and drain line connections should be installed in accordance with local plumbing
• Drain water is automatically cooled to 140 °F (60 °C) when HM700 cycles a When the manual drain switch is used, temperature may be higher. The drain material (tube and drain) must be rated for 200 °F (93 °C).
• Supply water should be between 30 to 100 A throttle valve may be used if necessary.
• Do not use reverse osmosis or de-ionized water. Supply water should be between 150-1200 μS (microsiemens) for optimal
• Install water shut off valve before humidifier to facilitate
• The drain line should not end in a sink used frequently by personnel, or where plumbing codes prohibit it. Route to a floor drain or equivalent for safety
• Drain line should be routed to allow free flow of water. Ensure adequate slope, no traps, and no A restricted drain can cause cylinder water to over concentrate and result in poor operation.
• If a drain is not located near the humidifier use a condensate pump rated for hot drain water.

Steam Distributor

The HM700 requires a steam distributor installed in the supply-side of ductwork. The HM700 can distribute steam into a ventilation duct using the distributor shown in Table 5.

The steam distributor should be installed as close as possible to the humidifier. Short steam distribution lines minimize condensate loss and the possibility of generating backpressure in the steam distribution line.

Table 5. Steam distributor.

Fig. 8. Distributor installed horizontally in a horizontal duct.

Fig. 9. Distributor installed horizontally in a vertical duct. Rotate the distributor 45º so that steam is discharged toward the center of duct, in the direction of the air flow.

Fig. 10. Distributor installed vertically in a horizontal duct.
This configuration is not recommended.

Steam Lines and Condensate Return Instructions

The following instructions must be followed for installation of steam lines for the HM700. Failure to use recommended material (see Table 6), or failure to follow any other steam line installation instructions will result in improper operation and could void the warranty.

Table 6. Recommended Steam Line Material for HM700 Duct.

* The use of steam line other than copper, stainless steel tube or Honeywell supplied steam line will void the warranty and may adversely affect the operation of the humidifier.

* When using copper or stainless steel tubing (other than the supplied tubing), insulation is recommended due to high temperature safety as well as reduced condensate.

To return condensate for HM700, insert copper tube (supplied with equipment) half way into the condensate opening of the fill cup along with the spring clamp (supplied with equipment).
Insert the condensate hose into the condensate return hole at the top of the HM700, and over the copper tube. Fasten in place with the spring clamp.

Fig. 11. Condensate return.

MAIN RULES FOR ATMOSPHERIC STEAM LINES

• As a best practice, steam hose length should not exceed 20 feet (6.1 m), due to possible excessive condensation, accumulation, and output Always follow the installation guidelines for long runs of steam hose. See Figures 12-15.
• Steam lines must not have any restrictions which could result in back
• Follow recommended materials, size and length, see
• Install steam line in a vertical (upwards) fashion from the HM700 to the distribution Consult Figures 12-14 for other installation options.
• Insulate with 0 in. (2.5 cm) pipe insulation.
• Trap condensate (Use full size ‘T’ for Traps)
• Do not over tighten hose clamp at cylinder steam The maximum torque is 12 in-lbs.
• Support steam line so weight is not on
• Condensate traps must be a minimum of 6 (15 cm) in height or duct static pressure +2 in. (5 cm), whichever is greater.
• Trapping by P-trap or Support line as necessary to ensure it remains free of kinks.

EXTERNAL CONTROLS

Fan Interlock Wiring with HumidiPRO

When distributing steam into a duct, there could be a call for humidity when there is no air flow. The HM700 with HumidiPRO control or some other thermostat (such as the
Honeywell Prestige of VisionPRO®) can be used to enable a fan on a call for humidity. If using another thermostat, consult
that control’s manual for wiring instructions to enable the fan with a powered humidification device.
NOTE: Humidifier will not start producing steam until fan security loop is closed.

Fig. 17. Wiring the steam humidifier with a digital thermostat.

This information is relevant to all controls, factory supplied or otherwise. For wiring use minimum 18 AWG solid wire and keep as short as possible.

Humidity Control

• Can be located either in return air duct (preferred) or in room being
• Avoid placing near discharge diffuser of humidified
• Mount in area representative of room humidity (drafts, doorways, sunlight, or an overhang such as a shelf can affect reading).
  Optional Outdoor Temperature Sensor (not shown; included with HumidPRO)

• Mount outside in representing air temperature.

Fig. 18. Wiring the steam humidifier with a mechanical thermostat.

NOTE: If a Prestige, Vision PRO, Lyric (or similar) are used to control humidity, wire the two HUM contacts to terminals 1 and 2 on the HM700. With the jumper in place between terminals 1 and 8 on the HM700, only these two wires are necessary to control humidity. Be sure to configure the control to force fan on with a call for humidity, or run on a heat cycle if the fan enable wiring is not used.

START UP

Installation Check

Before turning on power to the HM700, inspect the installation to ensure that it was carried out correctly.

On/Off

The HM700 is factory-configured to operate as an On/Off humidifier. It will run when 24 VAC from terminal 1 is fed back into terminal 2 through an On/Off humidistat and other security devices in series.

Start Up Procedure

1. Examine the humidifier and installation for damage and/or improper
2. Ensure the cylinder is properly seated in the drain valve and that the electrode plugs are pushed all the way down on the cylinder
3. Ensure that the front cover is in place and secured with its retaining
4. Open the supply water shut off
5. Turn on the main power using the installed disconnect.
   WARNING
   Personal Injury Hazard.
   Damaged or improperly installed units must not be operated. Damaged or improperly installed units may present a danger to persons and property
6. Turn the On/Off switch on the front of the humidifier to
   • The humidifier will perform a self-diagnostic sequence during which the LED’s and internal components will be momentarily activated. See “LED Status Lights” on page 15 for an explanation of the LEDs and
   • If an error is detected during the self-diagnostic sequence the humidifier will not start. The yellow status LED will flash in sequence to indicate the detected See Tables 7 and 8 for information on diagnosing and correcting faults.
   • After the system test the humidifier is in normal operation
   • Check and adjust the control setpoint on the control and high limit
7. When the external humidistat generates a demand for humidity and the security loop is closed the green humidifying LED on the front of the humidifier will light up, the power relay on the control board will engage, the fill valve will activate (after a delay) and the cylinder will slowly fill with
8. Check and adjust the control setpoint on the control and high limit humidistat
   NOTE: While the cylinder is filling with water there should be no water flowing down the drain. If water is flowing down the drain it can indicate excessive backpressure or a leaking drain valve. See Troubleshooting.
   1. It can take 5 – 10 minutes for the water to be heated up by the submerged electrodes and for steam to be pro-

   NOTE: If operated on low conductivity water it may take several hours for the HM700 to reach full output capacity. This is normal. During this time the humidifier will not perform any drains and the conductivity of the water in the cylinder will increase. To expedite this process, add a

9. 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the cylinder. This will immediately increase water conductivity and initiate heating.
10. If a fan enable relay is used, the green LED will continue to flash until the air proving closes. Once the air closes, the flashing green LED will become solid and the humidifier will start steam production as described in step

OPERATION

LED Status Lights

The HM700 user interface includes 2 LEDs that provide information about the humidifier status.

Fig. 20. LED status indicator lights.

Yellow and Green LED Flashing

Indicates there is no request for humidity.

Yellow LED Flashing

Fault detected, humidifier has stopped operating. Count the number of flashes and see Table 8 for info.

Green LED Flashing

Indicates the humidifier is powered, but there is not a request for humidity. Security loop (1-2) is open.

Yellow LED On

Indicates that water level is high.

When the yellow LED is steady on (not flashing) it indi- cates that the high water sensor has interrupted filling of

the cylinder. The LED is on for information only and unless it persists for an extended period of time, it does not require any action.

Green LED On

Indicates steam is being produced.

Selecting a Relative Humidity Setpoint

The optimum humidity setpoint depends on the reasons that a space is being humidified. The “ASHRAE Handbook HVAC Applications” recommends specific design relative humidity for specific applications.

Health and Comfort – The benefit of humidity is most pronounced for health and comfort in the 40-60% range. A humidity setting of 45-50% is recommended for this purpose to prevent over humidifying.

Temperature Setback – In cold climates it is often necessary to reduce the humidity level in a conditioned environment to prevent build-up of condensation on the inside of exterior walls, windows, and trim. It is highly recommended that the humidity setback function of the HumidiPRO control be used under these conditions to prevent damage from condensation. The digital control with an outdoor temperature sensor installed will automatically setback the humidity setpoint to correspond with outdoor temperature.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

Required Maintenance

The HM700 humidifier has been designed to require very little maintenance. Regular maintenance consists of checking the humidifier to ensure it is in good condition, replacing the cylinder when the software advises that the cylinder is spent and cleaning out the drain valve whenever the cylinder is replaced.

CYLINDER SPENT FAULT

When the cylinder is spent the HM700 will stop operating and the yellow LED will flash in a repeating pattern of 4 flashes. See Table 8 on page 22 for more information on other flash sequences. At this time the cylinder must be replaced.
The steam cylinder is disposable and must be replaced at end of cylinder life. Cylinder life is dependent on water supply conditions and humidifier usage.

CAUTION

Failure to replace the cylinder at the end of

cylinder life will result in improper operation and may result in damage to the humidifier. Honeywell is not responsible for any damages resulting from, or attributed to, the failure to replace a spent cylinder (see Manufacturer’s Warranty).

NOTE: Honeywell recommends keeping a replacement cylinder in stock throughout the humidification season. This will prevent possible downtime when the humidifier reports cylinder end of life.

REPLACEMENT CYLINDER

The label on the existing cylinder identifies the cylinder type in its top left corner. When ordering a cylinder always quote the three or five digit model number on the label, the humidifier’s serial number and the humidifiers voltage. Serial number and voltage are located on the specification label on the left side of the humidifier.

Fig. 22. HM700 cylinder (HM700ACYL2).

Removing the Cylinder

 

WARNING

        Fig. 24. Drain valve.

Installing the New Cylinder

CAUTION

Make sure the new cylinder is a HM700ACYL2. Use

of any other model or remanufactured cylinders will void the HM700 warranty.

1. Insert cylinder into drain Tilt cylinder forward and fit end of steam hose to steam outlet. Tip cylinder back into place.
2. Tighten hose clamp being careful not to over tighten and crush the plastic cylinder steam outlet.
3. Attach color-coded cylinder plugs to the corresponding color-coded cylinder pin. Push down completely. Connect high water sensor plug. Spring-loaded plugs should fit snuggly onto the cylinder pin. Replace if they are loose or
4. Re-fasten tie
5. Replace the humidifier cover and secure with two
6. Turn on power to humidifier with the external
7. Open supply water shut off
8. Turn the humidifier On/Off /Drain switch to

Extended Shutdown

Should it be required to disconnect power to the humidifier for a period of extended shut-down, always drain the cylinder first.

1. Switch the On/Off/Drain Switch to the Drain
2. Wait until the humidifier is completely drained (usually takes less than 10 minutes).
3. Turn the On/Off /Drain switch to the off
4. Shut off power to the humidifier with the external
5. Close the supply water shut-off

NOTE: As long as the HM700 is powered, it will automatically drain the cylinder when there has not been a call for humidity for an extended period of time. This feature will reduce or prevent the possibility of corrosion of the electrodes and the accumulation of algae and bacteria growing in the cylinder. The cylinder will remain empty until there is a call for humidity at which time the fill valve will open and refill the cylinder. The unit will go through its normal process for optimum operation.

STARTING AFTER EXTENDED SHUTDOWN

1. Check to see the humidifier has not been damaged and the installation has not been altered. See “Start Up Procedure” on page
2. Turn on the power to the humidifier with the external
3. Turn the On/Off/ Drain switch to the Drain
4. Wait until there is no water flowing to It usually takes less than 10 minutes.
5. Follow the start up procedure on page 14

TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUTION

High Voltage Hazard.
Be aware, when troubleshooting, that the humidifier is powered by high voltage and familiarity with both good practices and wiring of the humidifier is recommended. Any troubleshooting that requires opening the cabinet should be done by qualified personnel.

CAUTION

Burn and Scalding Hazard.
Hot water or steam with a temperature above 120 °F (49 °C) can cause burns from scalding.
NOTE: Most humidifier faults are not caused by faulty equipment but rather by improper installation. A complete fault diagnosis always involves a thorough examination of the entire system.

Often, the steam hose connection has not been properly executed, or the fault lies with the humidity control system

TROUBLESHOOTING REQUIREMENTS

• Ensure the installation meets the installation requirements outlined in the Installation Chapter of this manual.
• Familiarize yourself with the operation of the humidifier by reading the Operation Chapter of this manual.
• Wiring diagram for specific for your humidifier is installed on the inside of the humidifier A generic copy of the HM700 wiring diagram is also included at the end of this chapter for reference purposes.
• When contacting your local representative or Honeywell for troubleshooting assistance, please ensure the serial number has been obtained for reference purposes.

The following section provides general guidelines for troubleshooting the HM700 humidifier and auxiliary components. For detailed troubleshooting information refer to the manuals that were provided with the auxiliary equipment and to Table 8, “Troubleshooting HM700 Faults,” on page 22

Table 7. General troubleshooting.

HM700 Faults

The self-diagnostic system built into the HM700 is continually monitoring the operation of the humidifier. When an abnormal condition occurs that cannot be self-corrected by the software the HM700 will turn off power to the cylinder, drain the cylinder, and annunciate the fault using the yellow status LED.

LED Flash Sequence

To differentiate between different fault conditions the yellow LED is flashed in different sequences. Table 8 lists the fault sequences that can be displayed, their meaning, possible cause and suggested corrective actions.

Clearing a Fault

• Check the flash sequence against the list of fault messages and take any necessary actions to correct the cause(s) as outlined in Table 8 on page
• Power cycle the humidifier with the On/Off switch waiting 10 seconds between turning it off and on
