WARNING
1.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Disconnect electrical power to the furnace before starting installation.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury from electrical shock.
2.
SHARP EDGES HAZARD.
Sharp edges may cause serious injury from cuts.
Use care when making plenum openings and handling ductwork.
3.
RISK OF SCALDING.
Water temperature over 125°F can cause severe burns and scald instantly. Shut off the hot water supply before disconnecting or tapping into any hot water supply line.
CAUTION
RISK OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
1. Do not install humidifier where freezing temperatures could occur. The water line could freeze and crack causing water damage to the home.
5. Do not connect the humidifier power cord to multi-speed furnace blower motors or blower motors other than 120 VAC.
Premature component failure may result. Use Model

1.
Place the humidifier on a flat surface.
Unlatch humidifier cover assembly from base assembly at the bottom of the cover, lift and set aside. Pull out the evaporative assembly by grasping at the top and tipping out. (See Figure 1)
2.
Using a level, position this template at least 1 1 ⁄ 2 inches above the furnace housing or cooling coil if applicable, for clearance of the drain line. Trace around template edges. When there is insufficient space on the supply plenum, the humidifier can be installed on the return duct provided the humidifier is supplied with hot water. Remove the template and accurately cut the plenum opening 14 3 ⁄ 4 ”W x 14 5 ⁄ 16 “H, being careful to avoid injury from sharp edges.
3.
Position the two plastic hooks on the top of base along the top edge of the plenum opening. Push base up to engage the two hooks and sheet metal along the top edge opening. Push base in and slide down so that the bottom four hooks engage the sheet metal at the bottom edge of the opening. Secure base to opening using top three screw holes in housing. An additional hole is provided at the bottom for securing the base to the plenum. (See Figure 2)
4.
While pressing the base against the plenum, reach through the center opening and turn left and right swing latches down to secure the base onto the plenum.
(See Figure 3)
5.
Reinstall the evaporative assembly into the base, with the bottom of the scale control insert (5) sitting firmly in the inside of the drain spud attached to the base. Push the evaporative assembly in at the top between the retaining ribs that hold the assembly in place in a vertical position. Reinstall cover assembly by hooking at the top of base assembly and latching at the bottom.

MANUAL HUMIDIFIER CONTROL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The Manual Humidifier Control is designed for low voltage service to control humidification equipment. An increase in relative humidity expands the nylon ribbon that opens the control switch to stop operation of the humidifier. A decrease in relative humidity reverses the process and closes the control switch.
LOCATION
1. Locate on inside wall of living area approximately 5 feet above floor, or in the furnace return air plenum. Adapter Plate Part
No. S1-4039 (not included) is required for return plenum air installation. If humidifier is mounted on return duct, Humidifier Control must be at least 6” upstream of humidifier.
2. Do not locate Control in the direct path of furnace discharge air or drafts from open doors and windows.
3. Do not install where operation might be affected by lamps, sunlight, fireplace registers, radiators, concealed air ducts and pipes, or room occupants.
4. The basic rules for location of thermostats also apply to humidifier controls.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not attempt to repair or recalibrate
Humidifier Control. Humidifier Controls requiring service should be returned to your distributor.
2. Use Humidifier Control in low voltage (24 VAC) applications only. Install 24 VAC wiring to
Humidifier Control as shown in Wiring Diagram, opposite side.
3. Make sure no bare wires are exposed or insulation damaged. Insulation on wire should extend to head of screws.
4. Make sure all splices are mechanically and electrically secure.
5. To remove dirt or other foreign matter from nylon ribbon and control interior, dust lightly with a fine, soft brush.

7.
The humidifier power cord must be plugged into a 120 VAC outlet. Wire an electric outlet box to power source other than furnace fan motor circuit.
Outlet box can be powered off of the
120 VAC line before it enters furnace.
If furnace accessory terminals are
120 VAC, outlet box can be wired from this location. See manufacturer’s recommendations for wiring. Do not use an extension cord. Do not power
120 VAC outlet from the furnace blower circuit.
In order for the humidifier to turn on, the furnace blower must be operating and the Humidifier Control must be calling for humidity. The interface between the humidifier and the furnace to detect blower operation can be accomplished several different ways:
90-925 90-926
A. If the humidifier is plugged into a 120 VAC outlet that is powered only when the furnace is on, then the brown wires from the humidifier can be connected directly to the Manual Humidifier Control.
B. If the humidifier is plugged into a continuously powered 120 VAC outlet, then a Model S1-HURELAY24VAA
Current Sensing Relay (not included) must be installed in the humidifier circuit. (Brown wires connected to Manual
Humidifier Control.)
8.
Tap into water supply line with the saddle valve furnished. See instructions on saddle valve package.
The humidifier will function with cold, hot, softened or unsoftened water. The use of service hot water
(140°F MAX.) and constant blower operation will provide maximum evaporative capacity. When installing humidifier on heat pump system, humidifier must be supplied with service hot water.
NOTE: The saddle valve is designed to be fully opened or closed. Do not use it to regulate water flow.
9.
Connect tubing from the saddle valve to the inlet side of the solenoid valve using 1 ⁄ 4 ” O.D. copper tubing (not furnished). DOUBLE WRENCH TO PREVENT LEAKING!
(See Figure 4)
10.
Drain spud is designed to accept 1 ⁄
2
” I.D. plastic hose (not furnished). Run drain line from drain spud to floor drain. CAUTION: If hose clamp is used, do not overtighten, drain spud could crack. Be sure drain line has continuous slope. NOTE: Do not sweat or directly attach metal drain line to fitting. Do not use solvent type adhesives when connecting plastic drain line, since damage to fitting could result.
11.
Open saddle valve completely and turn on furnace.
Turn up Humidifier Control so that humidifier will turn on.
Allow humidifier to run until water is observed coming out of the drain line. Check to see if humidifier and saddle valve are watertight. Check operation to make sure that all electrical components function properly. Set Humidifier
Control to level recommended in Owner’s Manual.
NOTE: BEFORE LEAVING THE JOB SITE,
MAKE SURE:
1. Saddle valve is fully open.
2. All plumbing connections are watertight.
3. Humidifier functions properly.
