MINI ONE XL - MANUAL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The system consists of a humidity control unit capable of generating a steady flow of
conditioned air at a stable required humidity of 30% to 90% RH at normal indoor
temperatures, at pressures suitable for distribution to museum display cases or archives storage
rooms.
The basic operating principles of the unit are as follows:
Ambient room air is drawn by means of a diaphragm high pressure pump and pressured through a
humidity control module contained in an insulated water tank. The water in the tank is held at a
precise temperature by means of a refrigerant coil and a electric heater, to suit the required relative
humidity output of the delivery air. The cleaned and humidified air is sent from the unit to a
distribution system to one or more museum display cases. Air is distributed to the cases by small
diameter hoses. Hoses can be 6, 8, 10- and 14-mm diameter and should be chosen accordingly to the
size of the case, distance and number of cases. A digital RHT sensor is located in one of the cases.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
An improper installation can severely compromise the operation of the unit. A level operating
surface, adequate ventilation, and good access are imperative.
OPTIONS FOR INSTALLATION:
Depends on the chosen version, system can be installed with:
- Automatic filling system (needs access to a tap water source) or
- External water reservoir which holds up to 20 liters of water.
Machine can be run with 1, 2 or 3 air pumps. Please note that with 3 pumps connected, target RH
below 40% can be hard to achieve. Machine is delivering constant RH air in volume:
- ~7m3 /h with one pump
- ~13 m3/h with 2 pumps
- ~19 m3/h with 3 pumps
With moderately sealed cases, system with 3 pumps should be good for total volume of cases
~100m3 (or more if cases are well sealed).
LOCALISATION:
Machine should be located in a machine room or other well-ventilated technical area. Up to 9 hoses
can be connected from the machine to controlled showcases. If needed hose splitter may be used in
order to connect to additional cases.
POWER SUPPLY:
A reliable 110/230/V, 50/60 Hz AC power supply with ground, capable of supplying approximately
400 Watts must be provided. We recommend a dedicated power supply with surge protection for all
units.
WARNING: POWER OUTLET MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

MINI ONE XL - MANUAL
WATER FEED AND DRAIN:
If automatic filling was chosen, a tap water feed should be equipped with a
shut off valve and terminated with a ¼” male tread for the solenoid valve
installation (supplied by Preservatech)
Water valve is supplied with a push in type compression fitting for a 6mm Ø
hose which is connected to a reverse osmosis system (supplied by
Preservatech) and further with the “Water Fill” fitting on the front of the
machine.
If automatic filling is in use, for safety
reasons we strongly recommend
connecting “Overflow” fitting on the
machine front with a drain. Drain should
be located near the machine and should
be a minimum of 100 mm below
“Overflow” fitting.
Valve electrical cable must be connected to the jack labelled “EP” on the front panel of the machine.
WATER RESERVOIR:
If automatic filling is not possible, machine needs to be connected to the water reservoir. Water
reservoir can be located below, above or next to the machine.
- “EP” jack on machine panel, must be connected with “M1” jack on water reservoir panel.
- “Water Fill” fitting on machine panel, must be connected to the “M1” fitting on the water
reservoir front panel.

MINI ONE XL - MANUAL
AIR PUMPS:
Machine is supplied with up to 3 air pumps which are sent with
3 meters hose each. The pump’s hoses need to be connected to
the fitting(s) “AIR-P1”, “AIR-P2”,” AIR-P3” on the machine panel
and electrical cords to appropriate connector on the machine
panel.
-
Air Pump can be located on the same level as the
machine or above the machine. It CANNOT be located
below the machine level.
If less than 3 Pumps are in use, remaining pump outlets on the front
panel must be blocked by supplied plugs
CONNECTION OF AIR HOSES TO THE CASE.
The Mini One XL is a positive pressure device which is connected to the case(s) by a single or multiple
hoses. Depending on the size and distance of the cases, Ø6, Ø8, Ø10 and Ø14 mm hoses may be used
with a maximum length up to 100 meters. Machine as a standard has a two outputs Ø 14 mm but
depending on the users needs, a adapter can be used with up to 9 outputs with varying Ø. Also as an
option rotameters can be added.
Preservatech also supplies brass air connectors for easy connection of hoses to the case.
For installing our brass fittings, a hole of
16 to 20 mm in diameter must be drilled
in the case wall with a maximum wall
thickness 1" - 26mm.
THE AIR FROM THE MINI ONE XL SHOULD
ENTER DIRECTLY INTO THE VITRINE FOR
OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE. AIR DIRECTED
INTO THE SUB FLOOR MAY LIMIT THE
PERFORMANCE OF THE MINI ONE,
ESPECIALLY IN LARGE OR LEAKY
ENCLOSURES.
7
www.preservatech.com
MINI ONE XL - MANUAL
The output adapter can have up to 9 outputs of different
diameters. Number and sizes of connectors must be specified at
time of order.
If necessary, adapter can include rotameters for
controlling volume of delivered air on each output.
Each case has a one hose running directly to the Machine. Hose splitters can be used if more outputs
are needed.
SENSOR CONNECTION
Digital RHT sensor supplied with Mini One XL is built inside brass housing Ø 9/32”.
Cable can be up to 120 meters long. Preservatech supplies a standard 10 meter long
sensor unless otherwise specified by client.
If for any reason client wants to use their own cable it must be a shielded, 4 twisted pairs
CAT 5 communication cable.
If possible the sensor should be located in the case closest to the machine this will ensure
the humidity deviations are minimal. In this configuration the machine reacts faster for
changes in ambient conditions therefore humidity inside the cases is balanced.

MINI ONE XL - MANUAL
VENTILATION
If the unit is enclosed, be sure that there is adequate air available for cooling. For the most effective
operation, do not allow ambient temperatures around the unit to rise above 75 F / 24 C. Warm
temperatures may reduce the ability of the unit to provide lower humidity’s.
Should the unit be mounted in an enclosure (e.g. beneath the showcase),
provide at least TWO ventilation holes. A flexible exhaust hose must be attached to the
four inch / ten centimetre mounting on the front of the unit, and directed out of the
enclosure through one of the ventilation holes.
Adequate fresh air for cooling must be provided, through a hole(s)
totalling at least 16 square inches / 100 sq. cm. All ventilation holes’ must
be unimpeded (do not cover with any cloth, mesh, or perforated metal).
Avoid re-circulating exhaust air by separating the holes as far from each other as
possible. For example, provide an upper hole for connection to the exhaust hose and a
lower hole for fresh air intake. Be aware of walls or obstructions which might trap and
re-circulate exhaust air into the fresh air intake.
NOTE: Although all Mini One XL machines are ready to connect a 4" (100 mm) exhaust hose and hose
termination, they are not included in the standard shipment and must be ordered separately.
WiFi ANTENNA
WiFi Antenna needs to be installed only if
monitoring service is in use. If the machine is
located inside a metal enclosure (eg. Under a
case made of steel) it is highly possible that the
WiFi connection will be poor or non-existent. In this situation, the antenna
needs to be installed outside of the metal enclosure. Wifi antenna extension
cord can be supplied by Preservatech. (Antenna is included in a standard order;
extension cord is an additional option)
EXTERNAL CONNECTION
The Mini One XL is equipped with external connectors:
RH - The "OUT OF RANGE" alarm is a 12 VDC connector to power up an LED or other 12VDC device.
This alarm is activated when the RH at the sensor is lower or higher then SET VALUE ± “Rh error
offset” parameter (see Programming)
LW - The “LOW WATER" alarm is a 12 VDC connector to power up an LED or
other 12VDC device. This alarm is activated when the water level inside machine
falls below the lowest acceptable level. Water must be added to the machine
when this alarm is activated.
ER - The "EXTERNAL RESERVOIR" jack is used for connecting a automatic filling system or with water
reservoir.
NOTE: Although all Mini One XL machines are equipped with external
connectors, cables and LED's are not included in the standard shipment. They
must be ordered separately.

OVERFLOW PORT
As the unit removes moisture from the air, the water vapor condensed will be deposited in
the treatment tank reservoir. Humidity that is removed from the vitrine when the Mini One XL is in
dehumidifying mode may drip from the unit at the overflow port.
You may connect the overflow port to the drain, collect condensate in a container, or simply allow it
to evaporate from a shallow tray.
When a automatic filling system is in use, connection to drain is necessary.
