General Description:
The CellarPro Humidifier is designed to mount directly to the evaporator module of any AH series cooling unit.
The humidifier is designed to increase the cellar humidity level above a 50% threshold where wine bottle storage
is more stable for preserving the corks. The humidifier for this unit utilizes an evaporative water pad, with a fresh
water supply line providing water to saturate an evaporative pad, which adds moisture to the cold air being
supplied to the cellar. It is intended for situations where the ambient relative humidity of the air surrounding the
cellar is insufficient to maintain the desired humidity level inside the cellar, as indicated by the shaded areas in the
chart below:

The humidifier is controlled by a 24V remote humidistat powered from the cooling unit. The humidistat must be
mounted inside the cellar near the return air plenum inside the cellar. The humidifier operates independently from
the cooling unit, and uses the cooling unit evaporator fan to circulate the air. The factory set-point on the
humidistat is 55%RH, adjustable in 5% increments to a maximum of 70%RH.
Evaporative pad type humidifiers require a constant flow of water over the pad when the humidifier is on to keep
the water pad saturated and flush minerals and solids through to the drain. The water supply is regulated by an
internal orifice inside the humidifier, and will produce a continuous flow through to the drain line of approximately
6 gallons of water per hour during humidification. The humidifier will operate with a hot or cold water supply,
however the humidifier will operate more efficiently if supplied with hot water (140°F maximum).
