Connect drain hose to 5/8" spout on humidifier cabinet using hose

clamp provided. Run 5/8" hose to suitable drain such as floor drain,

sewer or laundry sink. Be sure hose has continuous slope and is not

kinked at any point.

Turn on water supply and plug in power cord to check

operation of humidifier. Set humidistat to a demand setting. With the

furnace off, the solenoid valve should be closed and the humidifier fan not

running. Start the furnace, the solenoid valve should open and the

humidifier fan run when the blower or burner circuit is energized. Check

flow of water through distributor trough and evaporator pad. The standard

990-16-76 orifice will supply approximately 3.5 GPH of water at a line

water pressure of 60 psi. For low water pressures (20-40 psi) a larger

orifice 990-16-75 is available to provide the same flow. Leave humidistat

set at the recommended setting.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRING HUMIDIFIER

CHECK

WITH

LOCAL AUTHORITIES

FOR

COMPLIANCE.
FIG. 6A WITH FURNACE CIRCUIT BOARD

On furnaces with output terminals ACC, or EAC check output

voltage to determine that terminals are 115V. Connect on-off

switch in series with the hot wire.

NOTE: ALL WIRING SHOULD COMPLY WITH LOCAL

ELECTRICAL CODES.

FIG. 6B WITH SINGLE SPEED BLOWER MOTOR

On furnaces with single speed blowers, mount a junction box and 115v.

grounded outlet connected in parallel with the blower circuit. Connect the

on-off switch in series with the hot or black wire.

FIG. 6C WITH TWO SPEED BLOWER MOTOR

On furnaces with a two speed blower, the humidifier and a Model 12500

Air Pressure Switch may be wired from a continuous 115 volt power

source. Install the on/off switch and Air Pressure Switch in series with the

hot or black wire. The Air Pressure Switch will detect furnace operation

and supply power to the humidifier accordingly.

FIG. 6D WITH TWO SPEED BLOWER MOTOR

On furnaces with a two speed blower, the humidifier may be wired from a

continuous 115 volt power source. Install the on/off switch in series with

the hot or black wire. Install the GA50 Current Sensing Relay in series

with the humidistat circuit. The Current Sensing Relay will detect furnace

operation and supply power to the humidifier accordingly.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The humidifier is connected to the 120 volt AC circuit through a control

relay. The secondary coil of an isolation transformer, a diode and resistor

supply 24 volts DC for the control circuit which also includes the humidistat

and relay coil. When the control circuit is completed by the humidistat, the

relay closes, supplying 120 volts to the fan motor and 24 volts to the

solenoid valve.
