R. I. standard designations: A "Tight Home" is assumed to be well insulated with vapor barriers, tight storm windows and doors, and a dampered fireplace. An "Average Home" is insulated and has a dampered fireplace, but there are no vapor barriers, storm doors, or storm windows. A "Loose Home" is generally one constructed before 1930, has little or no insulation, no storm doors, storm windows, weather stripping or vapor barriers, and often no effective dampering of fireplaces. [. . . ] When installing this humidifier above electric warm air heating elements or where water damage could occur from accidental overflow, connect a 1/2" drain hose to the brass overflow nipple. Do NOT solder the drain line directly to the humidifier because heat can warp and damage the pan.

This will provide power to the humidifier at all times, causing the evaporator pad drum to rotate constantly. WARNING Improper electrical wiring can cause personal shock, injury, or property damage. It is required by local codes that the unit be installed by a properly qualified HVAC technician or electrician, following NEC and any other local codes. Read the instructions in the furnace installation manual carefully before attempting installation or operation of this humidifier. Failure to follow these instructions may result in an improper installation and therefore, void the manufacturer's warranty. 120V HOT 120V COMMON HOUSE GROUND FUSED FURNACE SWITCH/BLOWER OR FUSED CIRCUIT WITH INDEPENDENT WALL SWITCH PLUG-IN TRANSFORMER (NOT PROVIDED) OR INSTALLED TRANSFORMER LOW VOLTAGE (24 VAC) HUMIDISTAT HUMIDIFIER 1. Turn the humidistat to the highest level (past 60%) and the humidifier should begin to run. Set the furnace controls and humidistat for the desired conditions (30-40% RH is recommended). Operation of this unit is automatic. 5 Operation This 465-C1 humidifier operates on the silent principle of evaporation. When your unit is operating properly, you may observe the drum turning freely by looking through the observation window. Evaporation takes place as the air passes through the moistened evaporator pad held in place by the specially engineered rotating drum assembly. Working in conjunction with the heating system blower, a portion of the warm air is bypassed through the humidifier for quiet and economical humidification of the air in your home. The humidifier is designed for use with either hard or softened water. Set the humidistat in the recommended range of 30-50% Relative Humidity for automatic humidity control during the heating season (a lower setting may be used to control condensation on single pane windows). During the first heating season, check for mineral build-up on the evaporator pad every month to establish the proper cleaning schedule. Clean the unit at the end of each heating season or whenever mineral deposits appear to clog the openings in the evaporator pad You can easily check your humidifier to be sure it is in working condition. Simply turn the humidistat to a higher setting and look through the observation window (a flashlight may be needed). Summer When shutting the humidifier down for the summer months, start with cleaning any mineral accumulation from the unit. If the furnace fan is to be used for cooling purposes, disconnect power to the humidifier or turn the humidistat to the OFF position and remove the entire evaporator pad and cage assembly. Winter At the beginning of the heating season, return the entire evaporator pad and cage assembly to their original location.
