Multi-tank mode defined
In multi-tank mode, one Vapor-logic4 controller can control multiple
humidifier tanks, and tanks in a multi-tank system can vary by energy
source and capacity.
A multi-tank system has one master controller controlling up to 16
slave tanks. The master controller receives the demand signal and
controls slave tank steam production based on

The master controller also gives permission to slave humidifier tanks
to perform functions, such as draining and flushing.

Multi-tank control interface
Most systems have one Vapor-logic4 keypad per multi-tank group.
This keypad ships with the tank that has the master control board. The
keypad (or the Web interface; see note below) can be connected to any
humidifier in the multi-tank group. Maximum cable length from the
keypad to any control board in the multi-tank group is 500' (152 m).
Note: Multi-tank groups can also be operated using the Web interface.
See “Multi-tank operation with Web interface” on Page 81.
Operation
Start-up order and trim tanks
All humidifier tanks in a multi-tank group are factory-assigned to a
priority group. There are four priority groups: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Priority groups identify tank function as follows:
0 = Trim tanks 2 = Priority 2 tanks (peak)
1 = Priority 1 tanks (load) 3 = Redundant tank
t 1SJPSJUZHSPVQTJEFOUJGZTUBSUVQPSEFS
Tanks in priority group 0 are brought online first, followed by tanks
in priority group 1, then 2. Priority group 3 designates an optional
redundant tank, which comes online only if a tank in the system is
unavailable and the remaining tanks cannot meet capacity.
t 5SJNUBOLSFTQPOETGJSTU
A trim tank is assigned to priority group 0 and is brought online
first — always before tanks in priority groups 1, 2, or 3. The trim tank
modulates continuously, responding to system demand changes.
Multi-tank groups requiring a rapid response to changes in system
demand typically have an electric element humidifier with SSR
control as the trim tank.
Staging multiple XT humidifiers
XT humidifiers do not operate in multi-tank
mode; however, up to four XT humidifiers can
be staged to operate in sequence.
See “Staging multiple XT humidifiers” on
Page 37.
