Honeywell Enviracaire Elite HE225A Installation Instructions

APPLICATION
The Enviracaire Elite™ HE225A,B Bypass Flow-Through Humidifier
uses the warm air furnace blower to provide humidification for the whole
house. The HE225A,B works with virtually any Honeywell humidity
control, but for optimal performance, use with the Honeywell Perfect
Climate Comfort Center™ control.
INSTALLATION
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage.
Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Do not cut or drill into any air conditioning or electrical
accessory.
CAUTION
Freezing Water and High Water or Static Pressure Hazard.
Can cause water damage or permanent equipment damage.
• The humidifier must be located where the ambient
temperature is above 32°F (0°C) and below 160°F (71°C).
• Be sure supply plenum static pressure is no greater than
0.3 in. w.c. and water pressure is no greater than 125 psi.
IMPORTANT
To assure optimal product performance, be sure the template
is level before marking.
1. Determine the best location for the humidifier and draw a level line
on the plenum. See Fig. 1.
IMPORTANT
Mount the humidifier at least 3 in. (76 mm) above the furnace
jacket to allow adequate space for the solenoid valve and drain
line. Check that there is adequate space above the humidifier
to remove and install the humidifier cover. Do not install on a
furnace jacket.

IMPORTANT
The damper is specifically designed with snap featues for use
specifically with Honeywell humidifiers. It is not intended for
use in any other application.
7. To install the damper:
a. Insert the damper into the humidifier with the selector knob
aligned with the forward-facing hole in the humidifier collar.
b. Twist the damper until it snaps into place.

8. Locate the other plenum and cut an opening for a 6 in. (152 mm)
collar.
9. Install the 6 in. (152 mm) collar.
10. Install a 6 in. (152 mm) diameter duct from the collar to the
humidifier.
NOTE: Some installations require a 90° elbow attachment to the
collar.
PLUMBING SADDLE VALVE
Hot or cold water, either hard or softened, can be used in the humidifier.
1. Use the self-piercing saddle valve (included) to tap into the water
supply line at an appropriate location.
WARNING
Chemical Hazard.
Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Do not use any line connected to an air conditioner.
IMPORTANT
• The saddle valve is not designed to be used to regulate water
flow. The valve is either open or closed.
• To prevent debris from clogging the solenoid in-line filter, be
sure to install the saddle valve handle pointing toward the
ceiling.
NOTE: Lightly clean the copper tubing ends with fine sandpaper
before making any connections.
2. Use 1/4 in. O.D. copper tubing and connect the saddle valve to the
inlet side of the solenoid valve.
a. Place the brass compression nut over the copper tubing.
b. Slide the brass ferrule over the tubing.

NOTE: Sidewalls are interchangeable for either left or right
bypass installation. To change direction, remove the
screws holding each sidewall, switch sidewall locations
and reinstall the screws.
5. Position the humidifier housing in the opening (be sure it is level),
so the locking tabs are in place on the lower sheet metal edge of
the opening.
6. Secure the humidifier housing to the opening at the top and
bottom using sheet metal screws.
11. Seal the duct connections with duct tape.
NOTE: To avoid sagging and stress on the humidifier, add
support when ducting is longer than 4 ft (120 cm).
12. Reinstall the humidifier pad assembly in the humidifier housing.
NOTE: Be sure the water feed tube is not pinched or kinked.
13. Hinge the cover in place and secure with the thumbscrew located
at the bottom of the cover.
WIRING
CAUTION
Hazardous Voltage.
Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
• Disconnect power supply before installing or servicing.
• On multispeed blower applications, do not wire the high
voltage side of the transformer to the same power source that
services the furnace blower or the transformer may burn out
prematurely.
All wiring must comply with applicable local codes, ordinances and
regulations.
1. Mount the transformer in a convenient location.
IMPORTANT
Install transformer on the outside of a grounded metal junction
box using only a 7/8 in. (22 mm) knockout hole. Place mounting
tabs into the knockout hole and firmly tighten the locking screw.
Field wiring connections and grounding means for the
transformer and enclosure shall be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC).
2. Connect wires to the 120V side of the transformer.
For humidity control wiring connections:
1. Wire the humidifier solenoid valve, current sensing relay or sail
switch, humidity control and transformer. Refer to the humidity
control installation instructions for mounting and wiring
information.
IMPORTANT
• For proper operation, the humidifier must be energized during
blower motor cycles.
• Current sensing relay or sail switch is not needed with the
Automatic Humidity Control.
NOTE: Select models of fan centers include humidifier taps so the
current sensing relay or sail switch are not needed.
2
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the compression nut. Moderate
tightness will prevent leaking.
c. Insert the tubing into the solenoid valve fitting and support
the valve while tightening the compression nut.
NOTE: Slope drain tube downward for correct drainage.
3. Connect a 1/2 in. drain tube to the humidifier drain fitting and run
to a suitable drain.
CHECKOUT
1. Open the saddle valve.
NOTE: The furnace blower must be on for the humidifier to
operate.
2. Set the thermostat setpoint 10°F (6°C) above the room
temperature.
3. Set the Convertible Humidity Control to a high humidity setting, or
place the H1008A Automatic Humidity Control in the test position.
4. Observe the water running out of the drain line to be sure the
humidifier is working properly.
5. Check for leaks.
6. Reset the thermostat and Convertible Humidity Control to a
comfortable setting, or the Automatic Humidity Control to the
desired frost factor setting.
