4.5 Slide the hex nut over the copper tubing end. Slide the brass ferrule over the
tubing. Push the end of the tubing into the threaded fitting and slide the hex nut
up to the fitting. Tighten the nut.
4.6 Slide the bushing over the tubing, Insert the bushing through the humidifier
wall until it snaps into place.
4.7 Open the needle valve at the cold water pipe.
IMPORTANT:
Check all fit-
tings for leaks.
MOUNTING THE HUMIDISTAT:
5.0
NOTE:
See the installation instructions packaged with the enclosed humidi-
stat (humidity controller).
5.1
NOTE:
When wiring the unit to a system that has a multi-speed blower mo-
tor, or that uses a motor other than 120 VAC, include the Skuttle A50 Interface
Relay in your installation.
HUMIDIFIER CHECKOUT:
Check the humidifier operation by following these procedures:
6.0 Turn on the water valve to the humidifier.
6.1 Turn the humidistat to the “ON” position.
6.2 Set the furnace thermostat high enough to allow the furnace to come on.
When the furnace blower comes on, the humidifier should start spraying
(provided there is enough heat reaching the humidifier thermostat).
6.3 Check the humidifier operation by turning the humidistat off, making sure the
humidifier stops spraying.
NOTE:
If the humidifier continues spraying, there may
be an error in wiring. Review the wiring diagram, above.
6.4 Set the furnace thermostat low enough to allow the furnace to shut off. The
humidifier should stop spraying either before or as the furnace blower shuts off.
NOTE:
Again, if the humidifier continues spraying, there may be an error in writ-
ing. Consult the wiring diagram.
6.5 If the humidifier shuts off correctly, repeat steps 6.2 through 6.4 at least five
times. Each time, check to see that no water impinges on ductwork or any part of
the heating system.
NOTE:
If water impingement or fallout could occur, YOU
MUST INSTALL A SUITABLE DRAIN PAN, PLUMBED WITH AN ADEQUATE
RUNOFF DRAIN.
6.6 Set the thermostat to the desired setting.
6.7 Finally, set the humidistat as recommended in Table 1, on the front of these
instructions.
HUMIDIFIER PARTS:
7.0 Parts may be ordered through your local heating or plumbing dealer. (See
Figure 6, below).
7.1 When ordering repair parts, always give the following information:
Model Number
Serial Number (if possible)

HOMEOWNER HUMIDIFIER TIPS:
8.0 If the mineral content of the water in your home is above normal, a lime dust
may form in the duct distribution system, as well as in your living areas.
8.1 In a home that has had little or no humidification, a new humidifier may op-
erate almost continuously to attain the desired level of relative humidity. This is
because furniture, woodwork carpeting, plaster and houseplants will absorb the
newly-produced humidity to reach normal moisture levels. This period of adjust-
ment will take approximately three weeks.
8.2 Natural drafts in the home can cause humidified air to escape through open
fireplace dampers. Make sure they are closed when not in use.
8.3 When the weather turns warmer, humidification is unnecessary.
IMPOR-
TANT
: Turn the water and electrical power to your humidifier ‘OFF” after
each heating season.
8.4 When water frequently flows through your humidifier, the nozzle and/or sole-
noid valve can become clogged by lime and other mineral deposits, thereby di-
minishing humidification effectiveness. When this occurs, you should replace the
affected part(s). In fact, it’s a good idea to replace the spray nozzle at the start of
each heating season to help ensure continuous, trouble-free operation of your
humidifier. (You may wish to have your heating or plumbing contractor perform
this service for you.)
8.5 The inline water filter should be cleaned at the end or beginning of each
heating season. To do so, loosen the hex nut (see Figure 4, left, top), slide the
tubing out of the tube connector and remove the filter. At this time, the solenoid
valve may be disassembled for cleaning.
8.6
IMPORTANT:
For parts and service, contact your local authorized dealer.
CAUTION:
If excessive moisture appears on windows or walls, reduce the
humidity setting on your humidistat enough to eliminate condensation. If the
situation continues, turn off the water valve that permits water flow to the humidi-
fier, and contact your heating or plumbing contractor.
