Plumbing
To make the necessary connections for water fill and drain, the
following steps are required: (refer to Figure 3 for locations)
1. Install external shutoff valve between the water supply and
the humidifier for ease in servicing the unit.
2.
Connect water supply to the 1/4’ compression fitting on the
bottom of the cabinet.
CAUTION!
Do not use reverse osmosis or demineralized water
treatment without first consulting the factory. This
water may not be sufficiently conductive to allow proper
operation. Consult factory if water is outside the range of
allowable conductivities. Do not use hot water.
3. Connect the 3/4” tube from the accessory pack to the drain
reservoir. Cut the tube to the length necessary to reach the
drain.
4. Insert the other end of the tube into a minimum 6” vertical
length of the 1-1/4” minimum I.D. drain line. The balance of
the drain line should be 1” I.D. minimum with a minimum
1/8” per foot slope. (See Figure 3.)
WARNING!
If the drain line is exposed, it is recommended that it be
insulated for safety. Do not use PVC drain line unless
“Drain Tempering” is enabled.
NOTE:
Inlet water pressure must be in the range of 20-100
psig. Consult the factory if you are outside this range.
Softened water may be used but requires that the low
drain threshold be adjusted. Drain water can be tempered
to lower its temperature.

Steam Distribution
The 6000 Series Steam Humidifier with the built-in blower pack
should be mounted a minimum of 18” from the ceiling. There
should also be 5 feet of horizontal clearance in front of the unit
to prevent steam from condensing on obstructions (See Figure
1). There is an adjustable louver to adjust the direction of the
steam plume.
Wiring
All field wiring should be routed up through the knockout in the
bottom panel or in the back of the unit.

Supply Power
1. Ensure that minimum circuit ampacity is 15 amps.
2. Terminals are provided in the electrical compartment for
field connection of the main power supply legs (single
phase) and a ground wire.
3. Install external overcurrent protection and provide wiring in
accordance with the NEC, state and local codes.
4. Power supply must be “clean”: free of spikes, surges and
sags: -15% to +10% of nominal.

WARNING!
Do not adjust this louver to extreme angles as it will
restrict the airflow causing condensation to form around
the steam distribution manifold.
WARNING!
Locate away from areas where people can walk into the
steam path.
