READ REVERSE SIDE FIRST!

IMPORTANT!

 

Be sure Use and Care manual containing 

instructions for operation and warranty information is given to owner 
in order to avoid unnecessary calls. Warranty is void unless humidifier 
is installed by qualified heating and air conditioning contractor due to 
possible misapplication of product.

1.

 Remove front cover by pressing center 

tabs on top and bottom of the cover (1) and 

base (2). Pull feed tube (3) out of the water 

distribution tray (4). Tip the evaporative 

assembly forward and lift it out  

of the humidifier. 

(See Figure 1)

2.

 The humidifier comes assembled for left 

side discharge. If converting to right side 

discharge, the base can be rotated so round 

collar is facing to the right. Swap the location 

of the hole plug (10) and drain spud (9) if using 

a right side discharge. To remove the cap, push 

and twist from inside the housing while lifting 

the cap up slightly on the outside. To remove the 

drain spud, twist and push from  

the outside of the base.

3.

 Using a level, position this template at 

least 3 inches above the furnace housing or 

cooling coil, if applicable, for clearance of 

the drain line. Trace around template edges. 

Remove the template and accurately cut the 

plenum opening 9

being careful  

to avoid injury from sharp edges.

4.

 Place the humidifier into the plenum 

opening, install six sheet metal mounting 

screws (not furnished) at the top and sides  

of the humidifier interior.

5.

 Install a 6” collar in a convenient location 

on the opposite plenum. Attach a 90° elbow 

and measure the length of 6” round duct 

required to make the connection. The design 

of the humidifier collar provides a solid 

connection with the bypass duct through the 

use of inside support ribs and pre‑formed 

holes for sheet metal screws. Slip the duct 

inside the collar of the humidifier, up 

to the support ribs. Using the pre‑

formed holes at the top and bottom 

of the humidifier collar, secure the 

duct to the humidifier collar with two 

sheet metal mounting screws (not 

furnished). Support bypass ducts 

longer than 4 feet to prevent sagging.

6.

 Reinstall the evaporative assembly 

back into the base, with the bottom 

of the scale control insert (6) sitting 

firmly in the inside of the drain spud 

(9). Push the feed tube back into the 

water distribution tray. 

(See Figure 

2)

 Put the front cover back on. If 

the nameplate (11) is upside down, 

remove it and rotate the nameplate 

so it is right side up, and snap back 

into place. Turn damper handle (8) to 

the open position “WINTER” for the 

heating season, or closed position 

“SUMMER” for the cooling season.

7.

 Locate and install the Manual 

Humidifier Control by following the 

instructions shown in step #7A. 

DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO 

FURNACE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO 

STEP #7A!

LOCATION
For Wall Mount:

1.  Locate on inside wall of living area 

approximately 5 feet above floor.

2.  Do not locate Control in the direct path of 

furnace discharge air or drafts from open doors 

and windows.

3.  Do not install where operation might be 

affected by lamps, sunlight, fireplace registers, 

radiators, concealed air ducts and pipes or 

room occupants.

4.  The basic rules for location of thermostats also 

apply to humidifier controls.

5.  Remove and discard foam gasket and secure 

control to wall over wire access opening with 

screws provided.

For Return Duct Mount:

1.  Position manual humidistat at least 6” upstream 

of bypass duct connection or humidifier.

2.  Avoid injury from sharp edges when cutting 

opening.

3.  Make sure foam gasket is in place and secure 

control to duct with screws provided.

8.

 Connect the transformer 120 VAC primary 

wires to the integrated Furnace Control Accessory 

Terminals. The terminals are marked HUM‑H, 

HUM‑N, where available. The HUM terminals will 

provide 120 VAC to the transformer whenever there 

is a call for heat. The transformer is designed to be 

mounted on a junction box. See furnace Installer’s 

Guide for wiring recommendations. 

NOTE: For gas 

furnaces without humidifier accessory terminals 

providing 120 VAC, use the Current Sensing Relay 

(BAYRLY10ASENSA).

9.

 Tap into the top or side (not bottom) of the water 

supply line with the saddle valve furnished. See 

instructions on saddle valve package. The humidifier 

will function with cold, hot, softened or 

unsoftened water. The use of service hot 

water (140°F MAX.) and constant blower 

operation will provide maximum evaporative 

capacity. 

NOTE: The saddle valve is designed to be 

fully opened or closed. Do not use it to 

regulate water flow.

10.

 

Connect tubing from the saddle valve to 

the inlet side of the solenoid valve using 

1

” 

O.D. copper tubing (not furnished). 

DOUBLE 

WRENCH TO PREVENT LEAKING!  

(See Figure 3)

11.

 

Drain spud is designed to accept

2

” 

I.D. plastic hose (not furnished). Run drain 

line from drain spud to floor drain. 

CAUTION: 

If hose clamp is used, do not over tighten, 

drain spud could crack.

 

Be sure drain line 

has continuous slope.

 

NOTE: Do not sweat 

or directly attach metal drain line to fitting. 

Do not use solvent type adhesive when 

connecting plastic drain line, since damage 

to fitting could result.

12.

 

Open saddle valve completely and turn 

on furnace. Turn up Humidifier Control so 

that humidifier will turn on. Allow humidifier 

to run until water is observed coming out of 

the drain line. Check to see if humidifier and 

saddle valve are watertight. Check operation 

to make sure that all electrical components 

function properly. Set Humidifier Control to 

level recommended in Use and Care manual.

NOTE:

 BEFORE LEAVING THE 

JOB SITE, MAKE SURE:
1.  Saddle valve is fully open.
2.  All plumbing connections are 

watertight.

3.  Humidifier functions properly.
4.  Bypass damper is in proper 

position.

MANUAL HUMIDIFIER CONTROL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

  

The Manual Humidifier Control is designed for low voltage service to control 

humidification equipment. An increase in relative humidity expands the nylon ribbon 

that opens the control switch to stop operation of the humidifier. A decrease in relative 

humidity reverses the process and closes the control switch.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. 

 Do not attempt to repair or 

recalibrate Humidifier Control. 

Humidifier Controls requiring 

service should be returned to 

your distributor.

2.  Use Humidifier Control in low 

voltage (24 VAC) applications 

only. Install 24 VAC wiring to 

Humidifier Control as shown in 

Wiring Diagrams, opposite side.

3.  Make sure no bare wires are 

exposed or insulation damaged. 

Insulation on wire should extend 

to head of screws.

4.  Make sure all splices are 

mechanically and electrically 

secure.

5.  To remove dirt or other foreign 

matter from nylon ribbon and 

control interior, dust lightly with 

a fine, soft brush.
