Getting started

This page takes you from a freshly unpacked controller to a first humidification run.

Before you startCopy Anchor Link

You need:

• the controller board and the screen;
• mains power for the board;
• an Ethernet cable and a network that can reach the controller;
• the demand signal source (a 0–10 V or 4–20 mA transmitter, an on/off contact, or a fieldbus master that will write the demand register).

The controller has no on/off switch. It starts as soon as mains power is applied.

1. Mount the board and connect the screenCopy Anchor Link

1. Fix the board in a dry enclosure, away from condensation.
2. Connect the screen to the controller with the screen cable. The screen plugs into the J5 connector (8P8C), which carries both the 5 V supply and the RS-485 link.
3. Plug the other end of the screen cable into the screen itself.

The screen powers up and starts talking to the controller over that cable. If it cannot reach the controller it shows a "Check device connection" message over the home screen.

2. Apply mains powerCopy Anchor Link

1. Connect mains to the J2 terminal (Mains):
   • pin 1–2: neutral
   • pin 3–4: line
   • pin 5–6: earth
2. Tighten the terminal screws and check the wiring.
3. Switch the power on.

What you should see:

• the yellow 5V LED lights up;
• the screen shows the home screen. The mode line reads "Mode: --" until the screen reaches the controller, then "Mode: Standby";
• the Status LED is dark and the Alarm LED is dark.

3. Find the controller on the networkCopy Anchor Link

Out of the box the controller uses a static address:

1. Put your laptop on the same subnet as 192.168.1.0/24, or route to it.
2. Open a browser and go to http://192.168.1.195.

You should see the AdiaPure page with the header, a Dashboard tab and a Configuration tab. The footer shows the serial number, the model and the firmware version.

If the page does not open, see Connectivity.

4. Set the date and timeCopy Anchor Link

The controller keeps time on its own battery-backed clock, and the clock starts from the build date until you set it.

1. On the Dashboard, find the System card.
2. In Set clock (UTC), pick the date and time.
3. Press Set UTC.

The time appears immediately in System time and in the alarm history.

5. Choose how the demand arrivesCopy Anchor Link

The controller can take its demand from several sources. Tell it which one you are using before you go any further.

1. Open the Configuration tab.
2. In the Inputs card, set Demand input mode to one of:
   • 0-10V demand
   • 4-20mA demand
   • On/Off
   • External demand register
   • Return humidity voltage
   • Return humidity current
3. Press Save.

The screen shows the same choice under SETTINGS → System Inputs → DEMAND INPUT, with the same six options.

6. Wire the signals you actually needCopy Anchor Link

At minimum, for the unit to run in AUTOMATIC mode, these three inputs must be active:

7. Switch to AUTOMATIC and watch it runCopy Anchor Link

1. On the Dashboard, in the Operation Mode panel, press AUTOMATIC.
2. Apply a demand:
   • if you use an analogue input, drive it with a signal above 0 %;
   • if you use External demand register, write a value to the demand register over Modbus or BACnet;
   • if you use On/Off, close the contact.
3. Watch the Demand tile. It shows the demand in per cent.
4. Watch Process & Hydraulics. The Pump row shows Running, and Pressure low and Pressure high show a bar value.
5. Watch the Valves card. Valve 1 … Valve 4 show Open while the unit is atomising.

The first success is: the mode reads AUTOMATIC, the pump runs, and at least one valve opens.

8. What the screen showsCopy Anchor Link

The screen home screen is divided into four panels:

A banner appears between the mode panel and the rest of the screen when the unit cannot humidify. Its text tells you why:
