Figure 8.  Power and Control Wiring 

Connecting Humidifier(s) to Control Box 

As a standard, GEN2 Ultrasonic humidifiers are equipped with a twist lock power connector and two 

RJ45 ports for data communication. The Ultrasonic Humidifier control box 

will also be equipped with an 

RJ45 port 

for data communication. DAH Series Ultrasonic Humidifiers are 

designed to be installed in an 

AHU 

or in discharge ductwork.  

For this reason, a 6-foot power cable with a moisture-proof, twist-lock connector on one end is provided 

with each humidifier. A 25

-foot data communication cable is also provided with a moisture proof 

connector at one end (humidifier connection). Consult Product Support for assistance by fax (301) 620-

1396, telephone (888) 529-1266 or E-mail ([email protected]).for optional cable lengths. The table 

below lists the correct wire sizing from the Control Box to the Ultrasonic humidifiers for various models.
