Nortec GS Series - Manual (Page 11)

GS Series Installation | 8
Warning:
Steam distributor on the built-on and remote mounted blower packs have a hot surface that could result
in burns if touched. Nortec recommends mounting at least 8 feet above the floor.
Ambient temperature location for humidifier: 41ºF - 104ºF (5ºC - 40ºC).
Relative humidity location for humidifiers: 5% rh - 80% rh.
All GS humidifiers are rated for the clearance to shown in Figure 4.
Location of the steam distributor should be minimum of 36” above the humidifier.
Do not locate humidifier any further than absolutely necessary from steam distributor location. Net output
will be reduced as a result of heat loss through steam line. Also, increased static pressure (over 12" W.C.)
will result in hot water going down the drain. Consult factory if this situation occurs.
Where possible, mount humidifier at a height convenient for servicing.
Make sure the humidifier is mounted level.
Do not mount humidifier on hot surfaces.
The humidifier must be installed so that all electrical components are protected from exposure to water.
Do not mount humidifiers in an area where freezing may occur.
If humidifiers are mounted outdoors, a properly ventilated, temperature controlled, (above freezing),
weatherproof enclosure must be used.
Do not mount humidifiers on vibrating surface.
The humidifier shall not be installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood
flooring.
Some insulating materials may be combustible. Prior to installing this appliance examine the area for
insulating material. If this appliance is installed in an insulated space, it must be kept free and clear of
insulating materials. If insulation is added after the appliance is installed, it will be necessary to examine
the area again.
