A
Remote Fan Distribution Unit
comes with two separate
male plugs to connect 12-conductor wire from the humidifier to
the fan distribution unit at a remote location. One of the male
connectors goes to the humidifier’s female connector, the other
goes to the remote unit. We recommend Alpha Wire 1181C
(non-Carnes) as an appropriate 12 conductor wire, but there are
many available that will suffice. Each conductor should be rated
at minimum for 1 Amp. If individual wires are used, utilize 26 or
28 gauge wire.
When connecting the humidifier male ends to the wire, pin 1
of the humidifier connector should be routed to pin 1 of the fan
distribution unit connector. Pin 2 should be routed to pin 2,
etc. Use a small regular head screwdriver to connect each
conductor into the male connector. It is important to make sure the
conductor is grasped inside the screw compression, and not the
wire insulation.
A remote fan distribution unit should not be mounted any more
than 40 feet away from the humidifier but this is dependent on the
capacity of the unit. Small capacity units cannot provide steam
at greater distance. See
Table 3-A
, page 7. When wiring the fan
distribution unit remotely, it is not absolutely necessary to wire
through the electrical conduit, but it is recommended for providing
some strain relief on the connector.
