Note: The P-Range is used to smooth the control characteristic. Increasing
the P-Range boosts the smoothing applied to the control characteristic.
However, this causes a permanent deviation, proportional to the bandwidth
of the P-Range.
– Integral time of the internal PI controller
Integral time of the internal PI controller in minutes.
Note: This menu option is available only if the internal PI controller is active.
Factory setting: 10 Minutes
Options: off (000/integral time disabled), 2 - 100 Minutes
Note: The integral time setting determines the period allowed to reach the
nominal humidity. Setting the integral time to the optimal value prevents the
control characteristic from overshooting and, at the same time, balances the
permanent deviation caused by the P-Range value.
– Soft start
Enabling (on) or disabling (off) the Soft start function.
Note: Enable the soft start function if you are using softened water or water with
a high conductivity.
Factory setting: off
Available settings: on (Soft start enabled), off (Soft start disabled)
Note: After restart or after the unit has been idle for 4 hours (stand-by) the Soft
start function reduces the humidification capacity to a preset value for a selectable
period (value settings see parameters below).
– Time limit for Soft start
Select the time limit for the Soft start function in minutes.
Note: This menu item is available only if the Soft start function is enabled.
Factory setting: 30 minutes
Setting range: 1…255 minutes
– Capacity limit for Soft start
Set the capacity limit for the Soft start function in % of maximum humidification
capacity.
Note: This menu item is available only if the Soft start function is enabled.
Factory setting: 50 %
Setting range: 4…100 %
– Demineralization mode
Enabling (“on”) or disabling (“off”) the Demineralization mode.
Note: Enable the demineralization mode if you are using softened water or
water with a high conductivity.
Factory setting: on
Available settings: on (Demineralization mode enabled)
off (Demineralization mode disabled)
Note: The Demineralization mode flushes the steam cylinder within an hour
after a preset number of scum detections has taken place (see next parameter
“Demineralization delay”). This prevents the formation of scum.
