WARNING: Always check that you are not about to cut or drill into any air conditioning or electrical accessory during
installation.
•
Mark and drill the mounting holes and cut an opening for the humidistat.
•
Push the two quick connectors (
9.5
) on the humidistat (
9.3
) terminals identified #2 (or COM) and #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 the humidistat terminal identified #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 #3
(or NO).
•
Run the control wires through an 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 start-up).
18. Humidifier start-up
•
Plug the transformer (
9.1
) and slowly turn the humidistat control knob (
8.4
) to the maximum setting. You should hear a
click and the humidifier drum should start turning slowly (approximately 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 level in the pan is at the right level and that the float closes the automatic valve completely.
•
After peeling off the backing, affix the faceplate 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.
19. Controlling the humidity level
•
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.
•
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 set point to prevent
condensation.
20. Humidifier maintenance tips
•
Do not stop nor rotate the drum manually. Do not remove the drum when it is rotating as it may cause permanent damage
to the motor.
•
Check the evaporator pad yearly and replace it if required.
•
Depending on the water quality, the water pan and the float should be cleaned once a month.
21. 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 (
13.1
).
2. Turn the humidistat knob (
8.4
) to the “OFF” position.
3. Unplug the transformer (
9.1
).
4. Empty and clean the water pan.
SELF-CLEANING MODEL:
Make sure that the peg (
14.7
) located at the end of the drum comes in contact with the paddle wheel at every turn.
Make sure that the drain tube has no bends or kinks and that the drained water flows easily to the floor drain without
accumulating in the tube.
SELF-CLEANING MODEL:
The draining system should also be cleaned once a year. Remove the screws (
16.3
) at the top of the plastic box and
carefully pull
the little plunger (
16.1
). Wash the plunger and the inside of the box with a little brush. Then re-assemble the draining unit in
the reverse order. Please refer to
Fig 16
and
instruction # 10
for a more detailed description.
