14. Installing the humidistat and the transformer (Please see Fig. 1, 2, 8 and 9).
This humidifier is supplied with a transformer that can be plugged in to any electric outlet. The humidistat is a duct mounted type.
The RETURN duct mounting allows a better "sensing" of all the air returned to the furnace without being disturbed by a sudden
increase in moisture level (kitchen or bathroom), thus offering superior humidity control.
Kit No. 4 contains all the material you need to install the humidistat.
•
The humidistat should be installed on a flat and vertical surface of the RETURN duct at 6 inches minimum from the humidifier top.
•
Attach the humidistat template (#2) on the duct.
WARNING : Always check that you are not about to cut or drill into any air conditioning or electrical accessories during installation.
•
Mark and drill the mounting holes.
•
Make a starting hole and cut an opening for the humidistat.
•
Push the two quick connectors (9.5) on the humidistat (9.3) terminals identified as #2 (or COM) and as #3 (or NO).
•
Split the wire coming from the transformer (9.1) in two on a suitable distance to connect one end to one of the motor (9.2) wires
and the other end to humidistat terminal identified as #2 (or COM).
•
Use the separate piece of wire (9.4) to connect the other wire of the motor to the second humidistat terminal identified as #3 (or NO).
•
Run the control wires through a little opening located at the bottom of the front panel of the humidistat.
•
Hold the wires while you install the humidistat in the opening. Check that the metal of the duct neither touches the connections
nor cuts the wire insulation. Then fasten the humidistat to the duct. The humidistat mechanism is exposed in the duct.
•
Temporarily install the control knob (8.4) on the humidistat. (Finalize after the humidifier startup).
15. Humidifier start-up
•
Plug the transformer and slowly turn the humidistat control knob to the maximum setting. You should hear a click and
the humidifier drum should start turning slowly (1 revolution per minute).
•
THE DRUM CAN ROTATE IN EITHER DIRECTION.
•
Carefully check that both ends of the water supply tubing are firmly held in place by their respective compression fitting.
•
Check that the water in the pan is at the right level and that the float closes the automatic valve completely.
•
After peeling off the backing, affix the face plate (8.3) to the cover of the humidistat and re-install the control knob.
•
Set the humidistat to a median value (40 %).
•
Make sure that there is no leak before leaving the installation unattended.
16. Controlling the humidity level - Adjusting the relative humidity setting
•
A relative humidity environment of 40% is recommended. However, you should take the outside temperature in consideration
before setting the humidity level in order to avoid condensation on the windows. Please refer to the table on the humidistat to help
determine the proper level.
•
At the beginning of the heating season it may take some time (a few days) to build up the humidity to a comfortable level,
all depending on the original dryness of the house, because carpets, furniture and wood will absorb moisture before you could
really feel it.
•
Each adjustment of the humidistat should be followed by a period of 24 hours to allow the general humidity level to stabilize
in the house.
•
If your house remains unoccupied during the winter season, adjust the humidistat to a lower setpoint to prevent condensation.
17. Humidifier maintenance tips
•
Neither stop nor rotate the drum manually. Do not remove the drum when it is rotating as it may cause permanent damage
to the motor.
•
The evaporator pad should be replaced at least once per heating season.
•
Depending on the water quality, the water pan and the float should be cleaned once a month.
18. Summer season
•
If the system is used in air conditioning during the summer, reduce the air volume going through the humidifier by closing
the air damper.
•
It is advisable to simply shut off the humidifier system :
1 - Close the water supply valve.
2 - Turn the humidistat knob to the "OFF" position.
3 - Unplug the transformer.
4 - Empty and clean the water pan.
