Attention Installer:
WARNING
WARNING
1. 120 volts may cause serious
injury from electrical shock.
Disconnect electrical power to
the furnace before starting
installation.
2. Sharp edges may cause serious
injury from cuts. Use care when
cutting plenum openings and
handling ductwork.
THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR THE HUMIDITRAC
STEP 1:
Unpack the Humidifier Control Carton
Make sure all components are present (see Figure A):
A. Humidifier Control
B. Outdoor Temperature Sensor
STEP 2:
Disassemble the Humidifier Control
Remove door from the Humidifier Control by pulling the bottom of the door
straight out.
STEP 3:
Check the Mode Switch
With the door removed, notice the switch labeled BYPASS and POWER
(partially covered by the enclosure). Make sure the switch is correctly set
for the type of humidifier being installed.
STEP 4:
Check the Change Humidifier Pad Indicator Setting
This setting will control when the indicator light turns on, reminding you
to change your Humidifier Pad. If your Control came with a humidifier, the
Control is pre-set at position "C". If the installation site has a 3-month
or shorter heating season or very hard water, you may want to adjust the
setting. (see Figure B). The Control must be energized to reset the
Humidifier Pad Indicator.
STEP 5:
Determine Location for Humidifier Control
and Mount It
Humidifier Control must be mounted in the Return Duct. For proper
operation, the Humidifier Control must be at least 6 inches upstream of any
of the following:
• Humidifier
• Humidifier Bypass Ductwork (if applicable)
• Fresh Air Intake Ductwork (if applicable) (see Figure C)
After location for Control is selected, use the perforated Humidifier Control
template (attached to these instructions) to mark the duct opening and cut it.
Use 4 sheet metal screws (not provided) to mount the Humidifier Control in
the duct opening and make sure Humidifier Control is sealed tightly to duct.
HUMIDITRAC
SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be installed by a qualified heating and air conditioning contractor.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury from electrical shock.
CAUTION
1. Do not set humidity higher than recommended. Condensation damage may result.
2. Do not set humidity up to recommended levels if there is condensation on the inside of windows of any
unheated living space. Condensation damage may result.
3. Do not mount Humidifier Control on supply plenum or duct. The unit will not withstand supply temperatures.
4. When installing Humidifier Control on downflow furnaces, ensure blower continues to run after a heat call
is satisfied to eliminate high temperatures from damaging the Humidifier Control.
5. Do not mount Humidifier Control downstream of the bypass outlet. False humidity conditions will cause
humidifier to operate incorrectly.
For Humidifier installation, follow Humidifier Installation Instructions.
