Message Overview:

Fault Message:

HUMID BOILER OVERFILLED (SPILL OUT)

Fault Code:

2163622ECS

Associated CAS:

HUMIDIFIER FAIL
(Advisory)

Reporting LRU: Humidifier Control Unit (HCU)
System Description: 21-71-00
Schematic Diagram: 21-71-00 [ Global Express ]  [ G5000 ]  [ Global XRS ]
Wiring Diagram: 21-71-01 [ Global Express ]  [ G5000 ]  [ Global XRS ]

Fault Description:

The Humidifier Control Unit (HCU) has detected that the boiler maximum allowed water level has been exceeded:

  • The humidifier boiler temperature is >130°C for more than 180 seconds
  • The humidifier boiler temperature is >140°C for more than 60 seconds

Possible Causes:

  • Humidifier Level Sensor (HLS) (MT214)
  • Humidifier Control Unit (HCU) (A248)
  • Associated Wiring

Troubleshooting Tips:

Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin: None

Forum Articles/Infoservice/Newsletter: None

Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Perform a wiring check between HCU and the HLS including the ground.

    1. If wiring checks are not good, repair the defective associated wiring and do close out.
    2. If wiring checks are good, continue with next step.

  2. Using a multimeter that reads Frequencies, measure the Frequency of the signal coming out of the HLS going to the HCU. Frequency should be around 9500 Hz for an empty boiler (5500 Hz for a full boiler).
  3. Using a multimeter, measure the HLS supply voltage coming from HCU. HLS supply voltage should be 5 VDC.
  4. Replace HLS.

    1. If the system check is good, do close out.
    2. If the fault remains, continue with next step.

  5. Replace HCU.
  6. Do close out.

NOTE: Perform Functional Test of the Humidifier System to confirm the system integrity. This task is the approved Return to Service (RTS) Test for the Humidifier System.

If the operator which to operate the humidifier on the ground as it operates in flight, then use the following attached procedure. Please note that the attached procedure is not approved for RTS and can only be used for troubleshooting purpose. Please note that the 3.5 hours delay can not be bypassed in this procedure.

Humidifier Operation with Aircraft W off W (3.5 hours delay activation).
