Nortec SE Series - Manual (Page 14)

11 | Installation
Location
The SE series humidifiers are designed to be either floor mounted or stand mounted (stand
optional). SE 50 models can also be ceiling mounted with the optional ceiling installation kit,
part number 2520345.

Install only in areas with ambient temperature 41-104 °F (5 – 40 °C) relative humidity 5 -
95% (non condensing).

Ensure mounting surface is strong enough to support the full weight of the humidifier and
accessories (see Table 3: SETC/P Specifications).

Install in location where electrical power, boiler steam, and drain can be connected to the
humidifier.

When possible install below the steam distributor. If mounted above the steam distributor
take care to provide proper steam line routing and proper condensate traps.

DO NOT locate the humidifier any further then absolutely necessary from the steam
distributor location as net output will be reduced as a result of heat loss through the steam
line.

Condensate drain is located close to the bottom of the humidifier. Locate the unit so that
condensate line slopes down to boiler or use pump (by others) to lift to boiler. Use stand if
necessary.

Avoid mounting humidifier on combustible surfaces including (but not limited to) carpet, tile,
or certain insulating materials.

Clearance dimensions shown are for reference only and are the minimum required for
maintenance of the humidifier. Consult local and national codes before final location and
installation. Nortec does not accept responsibility for installation code violations.
