Mounting the Humidistat
Freestanding humidifiers only,
•
60Hz models 99H0185-21
Note: Each Wine Guardian Freestanding humidifier comes with a humidistat and
humidistat cable pre-wired to unit.
1.
Mount the humidistat on a solid surface away from doors, corners, air outlets or
other drafty or heat generating equipment. Do not mount directly on an outside
wall or wall adjacent to a boiler room.
2.
Use a piece of foam insulation behind the humidistat to insulate it from the hot or
cold surface. The recommended height is 4 feet - 5 feet (1.2 – 1.5 meters) above
the floor. The humidistat is often located next to the thermostat.
THE HUMIDISTAT IS USED IN A BROAD RANGE OF APPLICATIONS AND THE
MANUFACTURER'S LITERATURE CONTAINS INFORMATION THAT MAY NOT
BE SPECIFIC TO YOUR WINE CELLAR APPLICATION. REFER TO THE
MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE BOX WITH THE
HUMIDISTAT. WE RECOMMEND YOU FOLLOW WINE GUARDIAN'S
HUMIDISTAT INSTRUCTIONS AND SIMPLY RETAIN THE HUMIDISTAT
MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS IN A FOLDER ALONG WITH THE WINE
GUARDIAN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR FUTURE
Disregard the wiring diagrams shown within the manufacturer's instructions.
3.
Refer to the wiring diagram shown in this guide on page 10 for 60Hz models, and
page 11 for 50Hz models.
Note: The remote outdoor sensor is not required for wine cellar applications and should
not be programmed for use.
4.
Set the humidistat at the desired humidity, recommended between 55% and 60%
RH, which is adequate to prevent drying out of corks. Over-humidifying can
cause mold growth and sweating on surfaces and loosening of labels on bottles.
Note: The humidifier can only add moisture, not remove it. Removal, or
dehumidification, is a function of the cooling system as it lowers the temperature of the
air across the cooling coil. The humidistat will only control the addition of moisture
