INSTALLATION
are used interchangeably.)
WARNING: This product is for residential applications only, and must be installed by a qualified HVAC contractor.
Failure to comply could invalidate the product warranty, or result in serious injury or electrocution.
DANGER:
•
Disconnect electrical power to the furnace before beginning installation. Contact with a live electrical wire can cause
serious injury or electrocution.
•
Use caution when cutting plenum openings and handling ductwork. Sharp edges can cause serious cuts and bleeding.
CAUTION:
•
Do not mount Compustat on the supply duct or plenum. The unit will not withstand supply temperatures.
•
Do not mount Compustat downstream of the bypass outlet. Inaccurate humidity readings will cause the humidifier to
operate incorrectly.
•
When installing Compustat on downflow furnaces, make sure the blower continues to run after a heat call is satisfied,
to prevent high temperatures from damaging the control.
•
Do not set the humidity so high that condensation forms on windows or walls. Indoor condensation may result in
damage to the home.
*These instructions are for installation of the Skuttle Compustat humidifier control only. For installation of a
Skuttle humidifier, refer to the instructions packaged with the humidifier.
