WARNING:
This product is for residential applications only, and must be installed by a qualified HVAC contractor.
Failure to comply could invalidate the product warranty, or result in serious injury or electrocution.
DANGER:
•
Disconnect electrical power to the furnace before beginning installation.
Contact with a live electrical wire can cause
serious injury or electrocution.
•
Use caution when cutting plenum openings and handling ductwork.
Sharp edges can cause serious cuts and bleeding.
CAUTION:
•
Do not mount
Compustat
on the supply duct or plenum.
The unit will not withstand supply temperatures.
•
Do not mount
Compustat
downstream of the bypass outlet.
Inaccurate humidity readings will cause the humidifier to
operate incorrectly.
•
When installing
Compustat
on downflow furnaces,
make sure the blower continues to run after a heat call is satisfied,
to prevent high temperatures from damaging the control.
•
Do not set the humidity so high that condensation forms on windows or walls.
Indoor condensation may result in
damage to the home.

These instructions are for installation of the Skuttle
