Circuit Board Adjustments

Humidifier operation is governed by the humidifier control board. This board is located on the right

side of the humidifier compartment. There are three potentiometers mounted on the board. These

pots can be used to adjust for extreme water conductivity conditions and capacity.
The “%” pot controls the amperage at which the drain will energize. The pot is clearly marked in per-

centages. This adjustment is factory set at 90%, which indicates that the unit will drain when the

amperage falls off to 90% of the capacity setpoint. Raising the value increases the frequency of drain

cycles. Lowering the value decreases the frequency of drain cycles. The frequency should be increased

for highly conductive water and decreased for less conductive water. If adjustment is necessary, and a

change of three to four percent in either direction does not permit normal operation of the unit, con-

sult your Liebert supplier.
The pot marked “SEC” controls the duration of the drain cycle. The pot is clearly marked in seconds.

This adjustment is factory set at 60 seconds and should not be readjusted without consulting your

Liebert supplier.
The pot marked “CAP ADJ” is factory set at 100%. The maximum capacity is determined by a fixed

resistor (R4) which is factory selected based on unit voltage.

Drain Tempering Feature

All units are equipped with a drain tempering feature which mixes cold fill water with hot drain

water to protect drain piping. This feature can lower drain water temperature to as low as 140°F

(60°C), depending on water pressure. To deactivate this feature, remove the diode from socket CR18

on the circuit board (lower left, above LED).

WARNING

Circuit board adjustment should be performed by qualified personnel only. Hazardous

voltages are present in the equipment throughout the procedure. Use extreme caution. If

desired, power may be disconnected prior to the procedure.
