Step 7—Make Water Connection

If garden hose is not used for water supply:

1. Mount saddle valve on water line according to instructions

supplied with valve.

2. Run 1/4-in. diameter (water line grade) tubing from saddle

valve to adapter on solenoid valve and tighten compression
fittings.

IMPORTANT:

If water pressure is higher than normal (60 psi),

use noise suppression disk included in parts bag. (Read water noise
reducer note located inside package for instructions.) For normal
operation, saddle valve need only be opened 1 full turn to meet
performance requirements.

3. Open valve and check installation for leaks.

NOTE:

Saddle valve is self piercing on copper lines; 1/4-in. hole

must be drilled in steel or iron pipes. Use only a grounded drill or
a hand drill to avoid shock hazard. Turn off water and drain the
pipe prior to drilling 1/4-in. hole.

Step 8—Install Humidistat and Complete Wiring

1. Mount humidistat on inside wall, or return-air duct in accor-

dance with section INSTALLATION OF HUMIDISTAT on
page 10.

2. Wire brown low voltage leads to furnace control board, or

install a field-supplied step-down transformer 115vac/24vac
60Hz to power solenoid valve. (See Fig. 4.) Make sure bridge
rectifier is attached to coil of solenoid valve.

NOTE:

Wiring must comply with National Electrical Code and

any local codes or ordinances that may apply.

Step 9—Start-Up

1. Open saddle valve to permit water flow to the solenoid.

2. Check all connections for water leaks.

3. Set thermostat to call for heat. Set humidistat for highest

humidity setting making sure contacts are closed. After a few
minutes of operation, check the drain connection for leaks and
to see if water is flowing through humidifier.

4. Reverse thermostat and humidistat settings to insure proper

shutdown.

5. Reset thermostat to normal setting. Reset humidistat to rec-

ommended setting.

Step 10—Final Steps

Attach humidifier maintenance instruction sticker to a visible
location.

1. Inform homeowner of proper operation, maintenance, and

humidistat setting.

a. If unit is installed during cooling season, close bypass

damper, set humidistat for summer setting (OFF or lowest
setting).

b. If installed during heating season, set unit for normal

operation.
