Turning on you Hydra Electronic Cigar Humidifier:
- Press the power button on the control unit

Calibration and Adjustments
Your Hydra Electronic Cigar Humidifier is pre-calibrated at the factory but is also equipped with an LED adjustment knob for additional fine turning of the humidity reporting should you desire to sync it to a precalibrated hygrometer or to perform a period salt test for accuracy. Turning the adjustment wheel on the control unit will adjust the humidity reading 1% for every 1 click of a turn. Turning clockwise increases the percentage while counterclockwise decreases it. (Ex. If the LED should read 75% but it is reading 72% then
turn the adjustment knob 3 clicks clockwise).
Audible Off Button
Should your Hydra detect that it’s time to add water to the cartridge, a continuous audible beep will sound and a red LED light on the top of the control unit will light up. When this happens, press the “audible beep” button on the side of the control unit to shut off the beep. Remove the water cartridge and follow steps 2-4 from the instructions above.
DC Out and Fan Port
Your Hydra is equipped with two additional ports, a DC out port and External Fan Port. The DC Out port is primarily used to connect additional Hydra Units together in series (aka daisy chain). The fan port is used to supply power to an optional external fan kit. The fan port will sync power up to 3 external fans when the internal fan is turned on. When the set humidity level is reached, all fans will turn off until the unit needs to provide more humidity throughout your humidor. Warning: Do not connect the AC Adaptor into the DC out port was it could ruin the internal circuit
