1.1 GENERALITY
The family of Pego EASYSTEAM sunk-electrode humidifiers is the latest conception on the
humidifiers market and can be considered the most complete for use type and easy maintenance.
The line includes humidifiers with 3KG/h and 6KG/h capacity with single-phase electric power
supply, 6KG/h, 12KG/h, 24KG/h, 48KG/h with three-phase+neutral electric power supply; all able
to work in ON/OFF mode, proportional mode with integrated humidostat and 4-20mA or 0-10V
probe, proportional mode with outdoor 0-10V signal, in ON/OFF mode from integrated thermostat.
The EASYSTEAM humidifiers are provided with a microprocessor software enabling the widest
programming for a fully customised use and a completely automatic functioning.
In fact, it is possible to set the maximum steam supply capacity, intermediate capacity values in
percentage, discharge frequency for disturbance, water discharge for non-use.
The EASYSTEAM line is also provided with a display for real time viewing of the humidity in the
premises to be treated; the current absorbed by the electrodes, the hours of work, various alarms,
water charging and discharging as well as all easily settable programming parameters.
An acoustic alarm (buzzer) is present in the EASYSTEAM humidifiers that warns the user of any
anomalies; the internal software is able to evaluate the seriousness of the anomaly, blocking the
machine or continuing the steam supply.
The strength of the EASYSTEAM line is the simplicity with which the cylinder is replaced when
normal wear makes it necessary.
The EASYSTEAM series humidifiers are covered by warranty against all manufacturing vices for
24 months from the date on the product identification code or from the date on the product
recording card, if present.
In case of defect, the equipment must be shipped with adequate packaging to our Establishment or
Authorised after-sales assistance centre, prior request of the return authorisation number.
The Customer has the right to the repair of the faulty appliance, including labour and spare parts.
The expenses and transport risks are the full responsibility of the Customer.
Every intervention under warranty does not extend or renew the deadline of the same.
The warranty excludes:
Damage due to tampering, negligence, inexperience or inadequate installation of the humidifier
and its accessories.
Installation, use or maintenance non-conform with the prescriptions and instructions supplied
with the humidifier.
Repair interventions carried out by unauthorised personnel.
Consumption material (sunk-electrode cylinders)
Damages due to natural phenomenon which lightning, natural disasters, etc.
In such cases, all repair costs will be charged to the Customer.
The intervention service under warranty can be refused when the equipment results amended or
transformed.
In no case PEGO S.r.l. will be responsible for any loss of data and information, costs of
replacement goods or services, damages to things, injuries to persons or animals, no sales or profits,
interruption of activity, any direct, indirect, accidental, asset, cover, punishing, special or
consequential damages in any way caused, whether contractual, extra contractual or due to
negligence or other responsibility deriving from the use of the product or its installation.
The bad functioning caused by tampering, impacts, inadequate installation automatically voids the
warranty. It is compulsory to respect all indications in this manual and the working conditions of
the appliance.
PEGO S.r.l. declines every responsibility for the possible inaccuracies in this manual, if due to
printing or typing errors.
PEGO S.r.l. reserves the right to make those amendments to its products it considers necessary or
useful, without jeopardising its essential features.
Every new release of the manuals of the PEGO products, replaces all previous.
For that not expressly indicated, the current legal Standards and, in particular, art. 1512 C.C., apply
to the warranty.
For every controversy, the competence of the Court of Rovigo is elected and recognised by the
parties.
The EASYSTEAM series sunk-electrode humidifiers use the conductivity of potable water to
produce steam by boiling.
A current is generated between the electrodes sunk in appropriate cylinder, that heats the water to
boiling point.
Current intensity (expressed in amperes) varies according to the quantity of water in cylinder that is
in contact with the electrodes surfaces and the conductivity of the water itself.
The electronics in the humidifier, via an amperometric transformer, measures current intensity and
controls the water charge valve to raise the water level or the discharge pump to lower it. This
system is fully automatic.
Combined use of the microprocessor and a humidity sensor also makes it possible to set
proportional functioning, optimising water and electricity consumption according to required
humidity levels.
In addition to ensuring functioning during steam output, the discharge pump also guarantees
draining the cylinder completely when the unit has been idle for a set time: this prevents forming
and depositing of limescale or other particles created during the boiling process.
The EASYSTEAM series humidifiers are fully automatic and require only replacement of the
cylinder when the electrodes are worn.
The layout below illustrates the functioning principle.
To ensure correct humidifier functioning, use only mains potable water; this because it
is free from any toxic content and is compatible with the conductivity range
needed for optimal humidifier functioning. However, in some geographical areas mains water may
be unsuitable for optimal functioning due to very low or too high or too aggressive conductivity; the
below is a summary table of the parameters required for correct humidifier functioning.
* Water conductivity is always expressed at 20° C; bear in mind that conductivity decreases as
water temperature drops and so water may not be very conductive during winter when mains water
is particularly cold.
Do not supply the humidifier with well water or treated with osmosis purifiers,
demineralising or softeners or taken from cooling circuits.
FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS, ARE AVAILABLE MODELS WITH OTHER SPECIFICATIONS. FOR FURTHER

In this mode, it is possible to set the two configurable outputs (Do4 and Do5) to manage a few
typical functions of a sauna or Turkish bath, like the supply of essence, the managing of inlet or
outlet fans.
Four digital inputs with the following meaning are present on the humidifier electronics:
Digital inputs In1, In2 in low voltage.
Input In1 (clamps 24 and 25): input with configurable meaning depending on second level
variable In1. By default, this input is configured as “main enabling”, active with close contact
between clamps 24 and 25.
Input In2 (clamps 24 and 26): input with configurable meaning depending on second level
variable In2. Input active with closed contact between clamps 24 and 26 or by means of jumper on
board present at side of clamp 26. By default, this input is configured as "discharge pump
activation" to enable discharging the cylinder in the absence of the console. Digital inputs In3, In4
in high alternate voltage (mains voltage).
These inputs feel mains voltage and for them to
function require connection of one of the two
phases (in our case, neutral) to clamp 4.
Input In3 (clamps 4<neutral> and 6<phase> ):
input with configurable meaning depending on
second level variable In3. Input active with input
phase to clamp 6.
Input In4 (clamps 4<neutral> and 5<phase> ):
input of maximum water level in active cylinder
with input phase to clamp 5.
In ES series humidifiers input In4 is pre-wired. In4 In3 In1 In2
If none of the inputs In1, In2 and In3 is Phase
configured as enabling, the humidifier, for N
working, does not need an external enabling.
Five relay are present on the humidifier electronics, two of which with configurable function:
Digital outputs Do1,Do2, Do3 Do5 are normally open contacts with a single common (clamp 9),
whereas output Do4 is independent and electrically insulated, in particular:
Output Do1 (clamps 9 and 10): Electrodes.
Output Do2 (clamps 9 and 11): water charge EV.
Output Do3 (clamps 9 and 12): Discharge pump.
Output Do5 (clamps 9 and 13): Configurable relay.

relay (second level variable dO4 = 1).
Two inputs from amperometric transformer are present on the humidifier electronics to measure the
current of the sunk-electrode:
TA1 (clamps 27 and 28): For connection of TA relating to cylinder N.1
TA2 (clamps 29 and 30): For connection of TA relating to cylinder N.2
The humidifier electronics requires a 230Vac 50/60Hz + -10% power supply and has a maximum
consumption of 5VA (electronic part only).
Power supply (clamps 2 and 3): 230Vac 50/60Hz power supply.
The MasterHUM2 electronics is the core of the humidifier to which a NANO EasySTEAM display
can be coupled, enabling the displaying of the machine status, the programming and configuration
of the parameters. Connection between display and Master happens by means of a cable with 8-
poles cross-connection RJ45 telephone connector (supplied with display) to be inserted in the two
J1 references.
The coupled use of Master and display is the most complete and recommended method but not the
only possible one; once configured, the MasterHUM2 electronics does not require the presence of
display and can be used independently. It is also provided with status LED (see chapter 3.2) and
switch (jumper) for the manual discharging of the cylinder (see chapter 2.5). In this single mode,
the alarms are reset by disconnecting power supply to the board.

To correctly connect the steam distribution line, carefully read chapter 8, STEAM
DISTRIBUTION.
The OEM series humidifiers are characterised by the splitting in vaporiser unit and
electronics kit; the electric connections are the full responsibility of the customer and are
the same as the ES models described in paragraphs 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7.
In particular, the information for eventual different settings to those by default is in paragraph 2.4.
The NANO EasySTEAM display is normally found on the front of the humidifier. It is made of a 3-
digit display and 9 luminous icons for visual control of the sizes and 4 keys for displaying choice
and settings amendment (fig. 25).

1. The 1st level programming enables the user to amend 2 important parameters, the Bp
proportional band and the Pr steam output percentage.

channel drops below the StC - r0 value, with addition of t1 time, according to
logic given by 0-10V signal or by the ambient humidity probe.
r0 Max humidity set differential in channel. 1 ÷ (StC – 20) Rh% 50%
Temperature differential referred to set point. For temperature values below
r1 set-r1, the humidifier activates until reaching of the set (called hot) 0.2 – 10°C 2°C
(used only with S9= 7 version called hot)
UrC Humidity value read by the channel probe 0-100% read only
The Bp proportional band is the percentage value of the humidity around the set point;
within this value the humidifier works proportionally. Example: if the proportional band is
set on default value 10% (-5% / +5% set point value) and humidity is set at 50%, below 45% the
humidifier will work at 100% of steam output; above 55%, the humidifier will not produce steam.
Between 45 and 55%, the humidifier will optimally regulate steam output.
The Pr steam percentage is the value the humidifier can reach at maximum output; leaving setting at
100%, an ES6 with 6 KG/h steam output, can reach 6 KG/h, if Pr setting is reduced to 50%, the
humidifier can produce a maximum of 3 KG/h.
The Pr variable is very useful in cases with scarce water conductivity and to make
maximum use of the cylinder when near to being replaced; for further clarification, consult
chapter 6 DIAGNOSTICS at page 36 of this manual.
The maximum humidity set point in channel (stC), limits humidity in channel.
If humidity in channel is higher than the value set in stC, the humidifier stops steam output and
starts again when it drops below stC-r0 at the end of delay time t1 (second level variable).
2. To access the first level programming menu follow the instructions below:
- Simultaneously keep keys UP () and DOWN () pressed until the first programming

The Master also manages the priority deconcentration or test discharges of the various
humidifiers (including its own), with FIFO (one deconcentration discharge at a time),
guaranteeing continuity in steam output.

The lacking of enabling (clamps 24 and 25 open on 100Master board) behaves as follows:
- On Master unit, stops (OFF flashing) the same unit and all slave units connected.
- On Slave units, stops (OFF flashing) only slave unit of interest.
Should Master not find a slave, after a 15 sec timeout, it signals the problem with an alarm
message that can be switched off (E7). Such alarm does not block normal functioning. Slave
interrogation continues and if communication starts again, the error is automatically reset.
If Slave is not interrogated by Master within a 15 sec timeout, Slave considers connection with
the same interrupted and brings steam output to 0, disconnecting the electrodes and signalling
the anomaly with an alarm that can be switched off (E8). Should connection start again, the
error is automatically reset and normal functioning starts again.
Variable S9 on humidifiers configures as Slave (mS=1) is not taken into consideration; steam
output proportionally follows data sent by Master on RS485.
5.1 COMMISSIONING
2. Before powering the humidifier, check correct connection of the phases and type of input
signals; check correct connection of mains water, excess water discharge and steam tube.
If the mains water connection line has been made with piping that may contain oily residues
or other substances generating foam, it is essential to wash the same leaving water to run for
a few minutes.
5. The humidifier will perform water discharge for a few second emitting a prolonged beep.
6. Humidifier is now in STAND-BY mode; to switch-on press ON/OFF – STAND-BY key, the
humidifier will display the humidity value measured by the probe for models configured with
PROPORTIONAL 4-20mA mode, or current absorption for those configured in ON/OFF and
PROPORTIONAL 0-10V mode.
7. For the humidifier to work it requires enabling to digital input 1 by means of a potential free
contact (clamps 24 and 25 on the MasterHUM2 microprocessor board), regardless of the
selected functioning mode. Without enabling, the display alternates the OFF writing with
normal displaying.
1. Set the wanted humidity value by pressing the SET key and increasing value using the
UP key in PROPORTIONAL 4-20mA models (if set value is above that recorded by
the probe, steam output starts); or given ON/OFF or 0-10V consent in ON/OFF or
PROPORTIONAL 0-10V models.
2. Leave the cylinder to be filled until water starts boiling, completely drain the cylinder with the
MANUAL DISCHARGE key, to trigger the pump and repeat operation 1-2 times.
3. The humidifier is now operational and can correctly and autonomously function.
In case of anomalies, the EASYSTEAM humidifier warns the operator by means of alarm codes,
visual and acoustic signalling.
Upon verifying of an alarm condition, the display icon switches on, the alarm relay is activated (if
configured), the internal buzzer is activated and one of the following alarm codes is displayed.
The internal buzzer can be inhibited at any moment by pressing the "Silence" key. Pressing the SET
key once restores sound signalling.
There are three types of alarms, depending on their seriousness:
- Automatic reset (the alarm is automatically reset upon disappearing of the problem)
- Manual reset from keyboard (alarm is automatically reset)
- Manual reset by disconnecting the board (serious alarm cannot be silenced)
Without console, it is possible to identify the type of alarm present by counting the flashes of the
red LED on board the Master (e.g. E3 there are 3 flashes followed by a long pause. Whereas, alarm
E0 is signalled by the permanent switch-on of the red LED on Master).
To reset an alarm without automatic reset in display absence, disconnect the electronics. By default,
output Do4 (clamps 7 and 8) is set as alarm relay (second level variable dO4 = 1).

7.1 MAINTENANCE
To guarantee operational safety, correct functioning and optimal yield of the EASYSTEAM series
humidifiers, carry out routine maintenance interventions as reported below.
Whatever the nature of the maintenance, it must only be carried out by experienced and
qualified technical personnel, aware of the necessary safety precautions.
Reported below are the maintenance operations to be carried out and their recommended frequency.
As the electrodes consumption and the forming of solid scaling and deposit inside the cylinder vary
depending on the type of water (even with equal conductivity), such intervals may need to be
amended.
Verify this requirement by checking the amount of deposit inside the cylinder; a quick storing of
scaling and deposits requires increasing the recommended maintenance frequency and/or varying
the parameters relating to the deconcentration discharges.

discharge tubes.
The only consumption element of the humidifier is the cylinder when the electrodes are
worn due to machine functioning or they cannot eliminate the scaling formed within.
The EASYSTEAM series is provided with stainless steel electrodes for longer duration that,
however, depends on the amount of water (level of conductivity and hardness) and work output to
which the humidifier is submitted.
When the electrodes are worn making cylinder replacement necessary, the water level rises
anomalously compared to optimal functioning, repeatedly triggering the maximum level alarm E1.
Now having checked the alarm is not caused by other anomalies (see chapter 6 Diagnostics), carry
out replacement as indicated below:
1. Open the humidifier extracting the front cover as indicated in chapter 2.2. (not necessary in
OEM series models).
2. Release the front fixing spring of the upper steam flange making it slide outside the cylinder
(Fig. 27, 28, and 29).

Fig. 31
Fig. 32
6. Remove the cylinder from the lower flange extracting it upwards (Fig. 33) and remove it from
the humidifier (Fig. 34).
Fig. 33 Fig. 34
Fig. 35 Fig. 36
8. Completely wash the cylinder two or three times after replacement, using the "manual
discharge" key.
9. After one hour of functioning from cylinder replacement, check there are no water leaks inside
the humidifier.
Fig. 37
When scaling and deposit inside the cylinder prevent sufficient current passage between
electrodes or obstructs water discharge, clean the cylinder.
1. Extract the cylinder from the humidifier by following steps 1-6 described in chapter 7.4
2. Using the hole in the upper part of the cylinder, clean and eliminate scaling present on the
electrodes and on the accessible parts by means of mechanical action using a plastic spatula and
running water or a water and acetic acid at 20% (Fig. 38). Carry out the same operation on the
louvres of the lower filter (Fig. 39). During cleaning, do not damage or scratch the coupling
parts guaranteeing water seal, like the O-rings seat or the inlets of the flanges. During cleaning,
do not wet the connector or the UM-CA-01 cable-carrier ring (Fig. 40).
3. Clean and check integrity of the two O-rings, replacing them if required, and check their correct
positioning inside the two seats arranged on the cylinder. Insert cylinder repeating the removal
operations in reverse order, checking the exact positioning. Use the lubricant provided with the
humidifier to lubricate the mechanical couplings to facilitate insertion operations.
4. Completely wash the cylinder two or three, using the "manual discharge" key.
5. After one hour of functioning from cylinder insertion, check there are no water leaks inside the
humidifier.
8.1 GENERALITY
Good steam distribution to obtain the wanted humidity level in any ambient, is linked to 2
main variables:
the amount of steam introduced in ambient and its distribution.
In fact, if the steam is not homogenously introduced in ambient, areas full or lacking in humidity
are created, causing excessive condensation and difficult control of steam output, triggering a
"swinging" effect.
It is advised to introduce steam using a PEGO steam distributor, inserting it inside the ventilation
duct or in front of a fan unit where wanting to direct introduction in an ambient without duct.

Fig. 42
Fig. 43
2. If the distributor is positioned higher than the humidifier and the steam tube generates a siphon
(e.g. Fig. 44), the condense recovery must be installed, directly discharging in appropriate
cylinder sleeve of the humidifier (Fig. 45) or in a water collection well. The condense recovery
is made connecting the 10 mm sleeve of the distributor to the PEGO UMITUBODN10 tube for
this type of application. In the path of the condense recovery tube from distributor to humidifier
or from distributor to well, a siphon must be made with full turn of 200 mm minimum diameter;
the siphon must be charged with water prior to installation.
This will prevent steam exiting the condense recovery tube (Fig. 44).
Fig.44 Fig. 45
3. If the distributor is positioned below the humidifier, as usually happens in OEM series
humidifiers installations, it is essential to recover condense discharging in a water collection
well.
