Model 7000 Flow Through Humidifier
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
MODEL 7000 FLOW THROUGH HUMIDIFIER
NOT
TO
DAMAGE
SELECTION OF LOCATION
TO MOUNT THE HUMIDIFIER
All bypass type furnace mount humidifiers rely on the pressure
difference which exists between the supply duct (hot air) and the
AIR-
return duct (cold air) to create an air flow through the
humidifier's evaporator pad. The air will ALWAYS flow from Hot
(high pressure) to Cold (low pressure).
Selecting the proper location and installing the humidifier
properly as intended by the manufacturer is imperative for the
proper operation of the humidifier. See illustrations below along
with the brief explanations as to what a good installation is and
what is not.
•INSTALLATION TIP: Before starting fully plan out the
installation. Check for the locations of the humidifier,
bypass collar & damper, and the humidistat and
associated sensors. Plan the length and type of ducting
required, the water supply, the water drain, the electrical
wiring, and a constant 120 volt outlet to plug in the
transformer. This will ensure your installation goes as
easy and quickly as possible
