Installation and Start-Up Operation
IMPORTANT:
•
DO NOT OVERFILL THE RESERVOIR AS OVERFILLING WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR CABINET!
•
DO NOT POUR WATER ON THE FAN THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRONICS.
•
DO NOT
MOVE
CABINET
WITH
WATER
IN
IT.
1.
Remove all packing material from the reservoir area and make sure the parts list is complete.
Leave the white mesh wicking filter in the reservoir.
2.
Place the Guardian Humidification System in the bottom of your cabinet.
3.
Insert the small end of the power cord through a hole in your cabinet and plug it directly into the
power jack on the side of the controller of your system.
4.
Placement of sensor: Determine a suitable location for the sensor, preferably two-thirds up from
the back panel or side wall, and/or as close to the horizontal center of the back panel as possible.
5.
Extra support for the sensor can be gained using the included wire anchors and zip ties.
6.
Slowly fill the reservoir with distilled water to the max fill line. The reservoir is outfitted with an
overflow vent that will prevent damage to your system. Make sure that the white mesh wicking
filter is sitting vertically upright in your reservoir.
7.
Plug your humidification system into a surge protector that is attached to a grounded outlet. The
digital display will activate within 6 seconds and a 10-minute stabilization program will begin.
8.
Next, the unit will automatically begin to operate at the
factory set point of 47% relative
humidity
. Allow the unit to run at the factory set point for at least 24 hours before adjusting or
adding guitars.
•
In the winter month of some regions, the system may use large amounts of water during the
first several days of operation in a new un-seasoned cabinet. Once the cabinet has been
seasoned (3
–
4 days), water use will greatly diminish, and the guitars can safely be added.
•
It is recommended that you
do not set the humidity level above 55%,
as guitars stored at
humidity levels higher than 55% can swell, causing finish damage, failed joints, and neck
angles to go bad.
•
If you choose to make an adjustment to the humidity level, limit the change to no more than
2% in a 10-day period.
