Installation Instructions Step 1 Installation Rules The following general rules need to be applied to any MC installation. Carel will not take responsibility for any system installed that does not follow these rules and warranty may be voided. 1. All atomizing heads on a system must be at the same elevation. Due to the low water pressure involved, a deviation in elevation of heads of more than 3 inches may be enough to cause the lower heads to spray heavy while the higher heads don’t spray at all.
MC room modulating Step 2 Assemble atomizing head assemblies Assemblies are shipped preassembled except for connection of the plastic water lines. The supporting air and water lines, and tees are supplied by the installer. All threaded fittings on the head assemblies for air and water are 1/4” MPT.
Step 3 Plan system layout (assistance is available from Carel USA) First, determine where the atomizing heads can be best located to maintain necessary clearances per the following diagrams. The atomizing heads may be located along a wall with all heads...

Installation, Operation, Maintenance Manual Step 4 Mount the cabinet The control cabinet should be mounted to a solid surface at a convenient height. However, the cabinet should not be located above the atomizing heads. Optimum installation is with the control cabinet at least 3 feet or more below the atomizing heads.
