4. START-UP
1. Before starting, check that there are no water leaks and that the electrical components are dry.
2. DO NOT connect power if the humidifier is damaged or even partially wet!
When installation is completed, flush the supply pipe for 10 minutes by piping water directly into the drain without sending it into the
humidifier. This will eliminate any scale or residue that may cause foam when boiling.
4.1 Start-Up Checklist
Before starting the humidifier, the following should be checked:
• Water is connected, the line has been flushed, and external valves are open.
• Min 1-1/2” ID drain is installed, but not connected to 90° elbow (supplied), run to an open drain, and has a trap under the unit.
• Electricity is connected in accordance with instructions, local codes and data labels in the unit.
• The 25 or 30A power fuses are installed and intact.
• All AWG10 control wiring is done and tested.
• The airflow switch is wired to open on air flow loss.
• The Hi-limit humidistat is wired to open on humidity rise above set point.
• Remove two screws securing control board. Unit wires should be checked to make sure they and all connectors are tight.
• The steam hose(s) are run correctly with no sags or kinks and sloped properly according to the manual.
• Condensate hose(s) are run correctly with no sags or kinks and sloped properly according to the manual.
