INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Do not mount humidifier in a location where operating ambient temperatures exceed 140°F or where freezing temperatures
may occur.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
DISPERSION TUBE LOCATION
When choosing a location for the dispersion tube three things must be considered: location in duct, elevation with respect to the humidifier, and
distance from humidifier to dispersion tube .
Duct Location and Absorption Distance
Absorption distance, the unobstructed straight line distance needed for steam to be fully absorbed, is dependent on air velocity, air temperature
and relative humidity in the duct . Determine absorption distance based on the lowest duct temperature, lowest air velocity and
highest humidity that the system will experience. The dispersion tube must be located in a straight section of duct far enough upstream of
any obstructions or bends in the duct . Use Table 3 to determine the appropriate absorption distance .
Operation during AC calls is not recommended because of the potential for condensation in the ductwork . Configure controls to lock out the
humidifier during AC calls and use the blower activation feature to allow the humidifier to run with the blower only .
The dispersion tube must be mounted with the plate on a vertical surface with the tube angled up as shown in Figure 3 . The steam tubelets
must face up regardless of the airflow direction in the duct . The plate is labeled "UP"to indicate proper orientation . On horizontal duct runs
install the dispersion tube low in the duct, on vertical runs center the tube on the duct .
If the dispersion tube is mounted on insulated ductwork, make sure insulation is not more than 2" thick at tube location to prevent insulation
from blocking first steam outlet .
Note: If dispersion tubes for two humidifiers are installed in one duct, double the dispersion distances . If three dispersion tubes are installed,
triple the dispersion distance . Position dispersion tubes so one does not discharge directly onto another .
