INTRODUCTION A BRIEF HISTORY time performing complex and necessary calculations to determine humidification loads and humidifier requirements. Now, you can put an end to these manual calculations with Armstrong Software Program 2, our new computerized method of sizing and selecting steam humidifiers. Dry air can cause a variety of costly, troublesome, and sometimes dangerous problems. In today’s competitive environment, you can’t afford not to humidify. In more than 45 years of designing, manufacturing, and applying humidification equipment, Armstrong has solved virtually every imaginable problem in steam humidification. In an effort to share this knowledge, we at Armstrong have developed Software Program 2. It deals with the sizing and selecting of steam humidifiers for a wide variety of applications. HERE’S WHAT IT CAN DO: Program 2 is menu driven, user friendly software. You merely answer a few easy-to-understand questions concerning your specific humidifier application and Program 2 will: ARMSTRONG SOFTWARE PROGRAM 2 • Calculate humidification loads • Recommend specific steam humidifier models • Print the complete steam humidifier specification In addition, Program 2 will calculate: • Psychrometric properties of air • Equivalent room humidity from known duct conditions • Required duct humidity from known room conditions Humidity-sensitive materials. Personnel. Delicate machinery and equipment. Proper levels of humidification can help you protect all of these assets and, in many cases, increase their production efficiency. Proper humidification begins with the right humidification equipment, precisely sized to meet the requirements of each specific application. That means you spend valuable And, all in a matter of minutes. 1 User’s Manual Armstrong Humidifier Sizing and Selection COMPUTER EQUIPMENT Armstrong Software Program 2 will work on most IBM and IBM compatible personal computer systems. Program 2 has been tested with the following computer systems: ZENITH 150 with MS-DOS 2.1 ZENITH 160 with MS-DOS 2.1 When using Program 2, you must use the DOS provided with your computer. IBM PC with PC-DOS 2.1 or 3.1 IBM PC XT with PC-DOS 2.1 or 3.1 IBM PC AT with PC-DOS 3.1 IBM CONVERTIBLE with PC-DOS COMPAQ Portable with MS-DOS 3.1 COMPAQ Portable II with MS-DOS 3.1 COMPAQ Deskpro with MS-DOS 3.1 TANDON PCX with MS-DOS 3.1 TANDON PCA with MS-DOS 3.1 The minimum hardware requirements for Program 2 are: IBM PC or Compatible One diskette drive 192K bytes of Random Access Memory (RAM) PC-DOS/MS-DOS 2.1 or later version START-UP METHODS When using Program 2, you must use the DOS provided with your computer. There are, however, two methods for using your DOS diskette with the Armstrong program. One method requires you to use your DOS diskette with the Armstrong diskette each time you run the Armstrong program. The second method requires you to prepare a “working diskette” combining your DOS diskette AND the Armstrong program on a blank diskette. The “working diskette” will be self loading and will eliminate future use of your DOS diskette. Listed below are instructions for implementing both methods on double drive systems, single drive systems and fixed (hard) drive systems: METHOD 2: If you have graphics capabilities on your computer, you may use Method 2 when running the Armstrong program. Method 2 requires you to format a blank diskette and make a “working diskette” of the Armstrong program. This procedure will make the system self loading, thus eliminating the need to use your DOS diskette once you have made a “working diskette”. If you do not have graphics capabilities on your computer, we suggest that you use Method 1 to run the program. The following instructions apply for making a “working diskette”. DOUBLE DRIVE SYSTEMS 1. The first step is to format a double density, double sided blank diskette. To do this, insert your DOS diskette in Drive A and turn your computer on. When requested, enter the date and time and press “Enter (or return)”. The DOS Prompt A> will appear on the screen when DOS is ready to accept commands. When the Prompt A> appears, type FORMAT B:/S and press “Enter (or return)”. Your computer screen will instruct you to insert your double density, double sided blank diskette in Drive B and press “Enter (or return)”. The blank diskette in Drive B is now being formatted and the DOS operating system is being copied to it, making it self loading. METHOD 1: You may use the enclosed Armstrong Software Program 2 diskette with your DOS diskette. To do this, simply insert your DOS diskette in Drive A and turn the computer on. Enter the date and time when requested and press “Enter (or return)” to continue. When the Prompt A> appears on the screen, remove your DOS diskette from Drive A and insert Armstrong’s diskette in Drive A. *Type LOGOH (or type H) and press “Enter (or return)”. This will bring Armstrong Software Program 2 into the system and you may proceed with the operating instructions found on 4 of this booklet. *NOTE: If your computer does not have graphics capabilities, the command LOGOH will not bring the Armstrong program into your system. You may use the Armstrong program, however, by typing H after the Prompt A> and pressing “Enter (or return)”, instead of LOGOH. NOTE: Once the DOS operating system is transferred to your blank diskette in Drive B, your computer screen may ask you to enter a volume label or press "Enter (or return)" To simplify this procedure, press “Enter (or return)”. Your computer screen may also ask if you want to format another diskette Y or N? Press N for No. 2 START-UP METHODS (continued) 2. You are now ready to make a “working diskette” of the Armstrong program. When the Prompt A> appears on the screen, remove the DOS diskette from Drive A and insert Armstrong’s Software Program 2 diskette in Drive A. Type COPY *.* B: and press “Enter (or return)”.

You are now ready to format a blank double density, double sided diskette. With the DOS diskette in Drive A, type FORMAT A:/S and press “Enter (or return)”. The DOS operating system will instruct you to remove your DOS diskette from Drive A and insert the blank diskette to be formatted and press “Enter (or return)”. The DOS system is now formatting your blank diskette in Drive A and copying the operating system to it, making it self loading. 3. You now have a “working diskette” of Armstrong Software Program 2 which is self loading. When you want to use this program in the future, simply insert the “working diskette” in Drive A and turn your computer on. The Armstrong program will automatically be loaded into your computer and will appear on your screen. NOTE: Once the DOS operating system is transferred to your blank diskette in Drive A, your computer screen may ask you to enter a volume label or press “Enter (or return)”. To simplify this procedure, press “Enter (or return)”. Your computer screen may also ask if you want to format another diskette Y or N? Press N for No. SINGLE DRIVE SYSTEMS METHOD 1: You may use the enclosed Armstrong Software Program 2 diskette with your DOS diskette. To do this, simply insert your DOS diskette in Drive A and turn the computer on. Enter the date and time when requested and press “Enter (or return)” to continue. When the Prompt A> appears on the screen, remove your DOS diskette from Drive A and insert Armstrong’s diskette in Drive A. *Type LOGOH (or type H) and press “Enter(or return)”.

The screen will then instruct you to remove the program diskette from Drive A and insert the formatted diskette. The DOS system is now copying the program modules from the Armstrong program diskette to your formatted diskette, making the “working diskette” self loading. *NOTE: If your computer does not have graphics capabilities, the command LOGOH will not bring the Armstrong program into your system. You may use the Armstrong program, however, by typing H after the Prompt A> and pressing “Enter (or return)”, instead of LOGOH. 4. You now have a “working diskette” of Armstrong Software Program 2 which is self loading. When you want to use this program in the future, simply insert the “working diskette” in Drive A and turn your computer on. The Armstrong program will automatically be loaded into your computer and will appear on your screen. METHOD 2: If you have graphics capabilities on your computer, you may use Method 2 when running the Armstrong Program. Method 2 requires you to format a blank diskette and make a “working diskette” of the Armstrong program. This procedure will make the system self loading, thus eliminating the need to use your DOS diskette once you have a “working diskette”. If you do not have graphics capabilities on your computer, we suggest that you use Method 1. The following instructions apply for single drive systems: FIXED (HARD) DISK SYSTEM If you have a fixed (hard) disk drive system, we suggest that you make a “subdirectory” which will contain Armstrong Software Program 2. The instructions for doing this are as follows: 3 User’s Manual Armstrong Humidifier Sizing and Selection START-UP METHODS (continued) the program diskette in Drive A.

Additional information can be found on pages 36 - 38 in Handbook HB-501. Note that the room volume of 150,000 ft. 3 is now on the screen. This figure is the result of the inputs you inserted in Screen “D-2” (150 ft. length x 100 ft. width x 10 ft. height = 150,000 ft. 3). As an example, let’s assume that we are humidifying an electronic parts manufacturing area. Static electricity control is important. To get the correct number of humidifiers, you should divide the room volume of 150,000 ft.3 by the recommended spacing volume for static electricity control which is 30,000 ft. 3. The recommended number of humidifiers is 5. (150,000 ft. 3 divided by 30,000 ft. 3 = 5 humidifiers). Therefore, input 5 humidifiers and press the “Enter (or return)” key to continue.

The first 25-minute program explains humidity and gives you reasons to consider humidification. It begins with a few basics — relative humidity, how temperature affects it and how humidity impacts on people and things in their surroundings. You’ll hear experts explain how improper humidification can damage your health, electronic equipment, buildings, machines and materials such as wood and paper. The second 20-minute program covers the four ways to humidify — what they are and how they work. The tape focuses on steam humidification and why it offers low maintenance, cleanliness and efficiency, making it the best choice for most applications.
