1. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION  
(1) The NORTEC NHRS uses an advanced control system to monitor and maintain  
optimum operating conditions within the humidifier cylinder.  
(2) The NHRS humidifier operates on Potable, DI (De-ionized), or RO (Reverse  
osmosis) water supply. All components are suitable for DI/RO water operation as a  
standard.  
(3) When the unit is activated in the ON position, and there is a call for humidity, the tank  
will fill with water through the fill cup located, in the back of the unit.  
(4) The water level is being sensed by the float chamber. It contains a dual magnetic  
float assembly to ensure accurate water level is maintained in the cylinder. Three  
LEDs on the float chamber indicate the water level.  
(5) The bottom red LED is the security level to ensure water is above the heating  
elements. The middle green light is the optimum operational level for the heating  
elements. The top yellow light is the maximum water level. The float chamber  
distinguishes 5 different water levels between the red LED and the yellow LED. The  
micro-computer can respond to fluctuations in water level to schedule draining and  
filling of the cylinder without affecting the steam generating process.  
(6) At start up, the floats rise in the float chamber, the internal micro-computer evaluates  
the rise of each float to ensure it is equal. This way, the system ensures the fill valve  
is functioning properly and that both floats are operational. When the water level  
reaches the top indication level, the system will flush the water down to the green  
LED. This ensures correct operation of the drain pump and reading of the floats by  
the micro-computer  
(7) Then, relying on feedback from the signal received by the humidifier, the internal  
controller will ensure operation of the contactors to power heating elements.

1. CONTROLS  
A. STANDARD CONTROLLERS  
(1) NORTEC has a wide range of modulation packages for use with the NHRS  
humidifiers. The packages all provide humidity controllers complete with point for  
accuracy up to ±3%. For accuracy up to ±1% a high precision humidistat is  
required.  
B. FULLY INTEGRATED MODULATION ADAPTER  
(1) The NORTEC NHRS includes all the circuitry necessary to accept a modulating  
signal from most modulating humidity controllers with a set point supplied by  
others. This allows the unit to easily interface with a Building Automation System.  
(2) For more accuracy, the set-point is controlled at the humidifier and the integrated  
controller can accept a direct transducer signal. The accuracy of the humidifier to  
changing conditions will be dependant on the accuracy of the signal.  
C. SIGNAL BY OTHER  
(1) When modulating humidity controllers or transducer signals are supplied by others,  
the NHRS humidifier can accommodate most standard signals, including:  
(a) 0-10 vdc  
(b) 2-10 vdc  
(c) 0-5 vdc  
(d) 1-5 vdc  
(e) 0-20 mA  
(f) 4-20 mA

D. VARIABLE AIR VOLUME (VAV) CONTROL SYSTEM  
(1) NORTEC offers several VAV control packages where VAV or variable duct  
temperature, air flow or humidity conditions require additional control flexibility.  
2. STANDARD FEATURES AND BENEFITS  
(1) NORTEC NHRS humidifiers can be suited for all humidity control applications.  
Resistive heating elements satisfy controller requirements instantaneously for rapid  
control with minimum deviation. NHRS units produce pure atmospheric clean steam  
on Potable, DI, or RO water operation. Fully variable steam output from 0 to 100%  
of capacity is achieved by electronic power control of the resistive heating elements.  
When using with deionized water(<20 micromhos) the NHRS with SSR option can  
control relative humidity to ± 1%. The unique design of the stainless steel cylinder  
ensures the process is not affected by water fill cycles.  
A. INTEGRAL DRAIN WATER COOLER (DWC)  
(1) NHRS has a standard internal Drain Water Cooler to meet plumbing codes by  
tempering the drain water below 140°F (60°C) during normal operation.  
B. TWO-LINE ALPHANUMERIC LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD)  
(1) The NORTEC NHRS has a two line display, which provides important operating  
data using text for system messages and numbers. Operating status, performance  
data and defined parameters can be accessed and displayed. Its principle  
language is English, but the NHRS can display in French, on the user level.  
C. AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS TEST  
(1) Each time a NORTEC NHRS humidifier is started, it automatically undergoes a  
self-test. It checks the correct operation of the PC board and other components  
including the fill valve and drain pump. The humidifier will display system faults  
with the alphanumeric display and the indicator lights.  
D. AUTOMATIC END OF SEASON DRAIN  
(1) After 3 days of no call for humidity the steam production tank will completely drain  
the cylinder and automatically restart upon a call for humidity. Does not apply if  
keep warm feature is activated.  
E. AUTOMATIC DETECTION, RESPONSE, AND SYSTEM MESSAGES  
(1) Operation is monitored continuously by an automatic check program. When  
unacceptable deviations from normal operation are detected (such as no water  
entering humidifier or, improper water level), the NHRS responds by taking  
appropriate action. Corresponding system messages are displayed on the LCD.  
By identifying the specific service messages, troubleshooting is simplified and  
problems external to the unit are more easily diagnosed. For non-critical service  
messages, the NHRS continues to operate and displays a service message on the  
LCD and illuminates the yellow light.  
F. SIMPLE INSTALLATION  
(1) The compact construction of the NHRS allows for a simple installation. The NHRS  
comes standard with key hole mounting locations, and is ready for field connection.

3. ELECTRICAL  
(1) Humidifiers require field wiring to the primary voltage terminal block. Power and  
fusing requirements are as indicated on the Specification label. Wiring is fed  
through an electrical knockout in the bottom back of the electrical cabinet.  
4. CLEARANCES  
(1) The clearance dimensions shown in the manual are for reference only and are the  
minimum requirements for maintenance of the humidifier.  
5. WATER REQUIREMENTS  
(1) The NHRS will operate properly on all potable water sources. De-mineralized  
water supplies such as Reverse Osmosis and De-Ionized water will reduce  
maintenance intervals significantly.  
6. STEAM DISTRIBUTION AND ABSORPTION  
(1) The NHRS can be used with stainless steel distributors or SAM-e manifolds for  
short absorption distance.  
(2) The distance between the humidifier and the steam distribution system should not  
exceed 15 feet for accurate humidity control.  
(3) Refer to the Steam Distribution Engineering Manual (Form #XX-232) or the  
H.E.L.P. software.
