Humidistat Installation
Humidistat:
1. Locate the humidistat in the living area making sure that it
is at least five (5) feet from a supply register (duct mounted
installation) or discharge nozzle (free standing installation).
2. The humidistat should be installed four and a half (4 1/2)
feet above the floor, out of the direct sun and not subject to
damage from traffic within the room.
3. If you would like the ability to cut off the electricity to the
humidifier for maintenance, a throw -switch may be installed.
4.
Turn the humidistat to the highest level (past 60%) and the
humidifier should begin to run. The humidifier should stop
when the humidistat is turned off.
5. Set the furnace controls and humidistat for the desired
conditions (30-40% RH is recommended). Operation of this
unit is automatic.
6.
If condensation occurs on single pane windows, lower the
humidistat setting until the condensation has disappeared.
NOTE: It may take several days for the humidity level in
your home to reach comfortable levels.
5. Maintenance
Caution:
Before cleaning or servicing this unit, it is recommended
that the unit be disconnected from any electrical supply
outlet.
To enjoy the benefits of a properly humidified environment,
periodic cleaning is necessary to control both water and
household impurities. Film or scum, which can contain bacteria
or fungi, may appear on the water surface, the sides, or bottom
of your humidifier. A crusty deposit or scale may also appear
and is composed of minerals that have settled out of the water.
To improve the efficiency of your humidifier, and to reduce the
possibility of a health hazard, it is recommended that you take
the following precautions:
•
Follow the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning and
maintenance instructions below and on the next page.
•
The amount of minerals and other impurities in a water
source can vary greatly, therefore, the frequency of cleaning
the unit also varies.
•
During the heating season, check for film or scale build-up
in the unit, or any moving part. Establish a proper cleaning
schedule to ensure the efficiency of the humidifier.
•
An algaecide, such as a humidifier cleaning tablet or
bacteriostatic liquid/powder, can be used to combat algae
build-up, should it become evident.
•
At the end of the winter humidification season, drain and
thoroughly clean your humidifier as part of the summer
shutdown. Like your heating system and air conditioning
unit, periodic maintenance and cleaning are required to
ensure the safe and efficient operation of your humidifier.
Due to the operation cycle of the furnace and humidifier, it
may require 2 to 5 days to reach the proper humidification
level.
Maintenance instructions for models mounted on the face
of a vertical return duct, side of a horizontal return duct, or
mounted behind a wall using discharge extension.
Your humidifier is constructed from quality materials to assure
superior performance during normal operation. The motor
bearings are permanently lubricated and do not require oiling.
The motor is also thermal overload protected against extreme
conditions.
To clean the unit:
1. Turn the power to the furnace OFF or turn off the electric
switch to the humidifier, if provided.
2.
Disconnect the humidifier motor leads.
3.
Turn off the humidifier water supply from the saddle valve
and remove water line from humidifier.
4.
Remove the humidifier from the wire mounting bracket.
5.
Remove the discharge dome from the humidifier by pressing
on the sides of the dome and lifting upward.
6. Lift the entire atomizing assembly from the water reservoir
pan.
7. Remove the pump from the end of the impeller shaft. If the
pump is stuck in the motor drive shaft, run hot water over
the end of the shaft for a few seconds to loosen the pump.
8.
Flush water through the impeller tube, ensuring that the six
holes at the top of the impeller tube are open and clear of
mineral deposits. A pipe cleaner works well for this cleaning
operation. Note: The impeller tube and pump can become
clogged by algae formations prevalent in certain water
sources. The addition of 10 drops of bleach to the water
reservoir pan each week is advisable.
9. Replace the pump into the impeller shaft.
10.
Carefully rotate the impeller to ensure it turns freely. Do not
force the impeller shaft to turn or breakage could result.
11.
With the atomizing assembly removed, clean the water
reservoir pan thoroughly. We suggest either a water/white
vinegar solution or liquid humidifier cleaner.
12.
Reassemble and remount the humidifier by reversing steps
6, 5, and 4.
13.
Reconnect the water line and motor leads to the humidifier,
turn on the water supply from the saddle valve and restore
electrical power.
