IMPORTANT NOTE:
B. OVERFLOW & DRAIN LINES
Installation instructions for the saddle valve are printed on
the plastic bag containing the saddle valve and its
components. Tap into a 1/2” or 3/4” domestic hot water
line for best results, but a cold water line will do. Avoid
connecting to water lines from a Reverse Osmosis system.
NOTE: Never install the saddle valve on the bottom of the
water pipe. Sediment in the water pipe may clog the
saddle valve. When tightening the hex compression nut,
tighten only enough to assure there are no leaks.
NOTE: Saddle valves do not meet plumbing codes in
some areas. A “T” fitting with a valve may be required to
meet code or, if low water pressure causes frequent water
alerts on the steam humidifier.
NOTE: Do not use any line which is served by a water
softener. If your home has a water softener, make the
water connections to a water line upstream from the water
softener. A water softener is not a demineralizer. It merely
exchanges various hard ions for soft ions in the water.
These soft ions, or minerals, will build up in the
humidifier, causing the need for frequent servicing. The
evaporation of softened water may also produce a white
powder which may be carried into the duct system and,
ultimately, into your home.
Note: Use a water hammer arrester (WH-100) if water
spikes occur during operation.
A temperature sensor is mounted in the water reservoir of the
humidifier. As the water temperature increases to about 170
degrees F, the computer closes a set of blower relay contacts.
When the water cools to about 140 degrees F, the computer
will open the relay contacts.
A humidistat, such as the AutoFlo Models 052000 or
062000, is required to control the Steam Humidifier. The
humidistat may be installed on the wall in the living space
or on the return air duct. NOTE: Continuos fan operation
should be initiated if the humidistat is installed on the
return air duct! Instructions for installation are packaged
with the humidistat.
DO NOT connect any foreign voltage to the “H” terminals
of the humidifier. The unit supplies it’s own 24 volt
control voltage. Simply connect the two “H” terminals
straight to the humidistat terminals.
All wiring must be made in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. DO NOT cut off the grounded plug
and/or hard wire this unit to line voltage.
Figures 5 & 6 describes the suggested interlock wiring
arrangement for HVAC systems. Interlocking may be
performed on heating systems that provide a 24 VAC NEC
Class ll terminal for blower control.
The blower relay (G) circuit is connected to the low voltage
terminals on the humidifier, Figure 5. The relay contacts
must be used to interlock the system blower.
If the Steam Humidifier is removed and
disconnected from the system, the blower
interlock circuit must be restored to it's original
configuration.
Place the humidifier reservoir into the opening in the duct and
secure with eight (8) sheet metal screws.
NOTE: If the ductwork will not support the unit in a level
position with the water pan full of water, the duct-work
must be reinforced. Both steam models weigh
approximately 9 Lbs. empty and approximately 15 Lbs.
full of water.
Because of the high output of this Humidifier, it must not
be operated in ducts or plenums without the blower
operating. The steam humidifier is designed to be
"Dominant" over the Heating-Air Conditioning System
Blower. The "System" blower will be operated by the
humidifier when humidity is required to meet the
humidistat setting.
The use of an overflow line and drain line is always
required.
Use 5/8" ID high temperature tubing, such as automotive
heater hose or dishwasher drain hose. Slip the hose over
the 5/8" drain fitting and use a hose clamp to secure. Use
3/8" high temperature tubing for the automatic drain
connection. Slip the hose over the 3/8" adaptor fitting and
use a hose clamp to secure.
Route the hoses to a suitable drain. DO NOT route the
hoses above the humidifier. Failure to install the drain
lines will result in water leaks during normal operating
conditions.
