Introduction Introduction The benefits of a properly humidified environment (35-50% Relative Humidity) are many. They include both personal comfort as well as the preservation of furniture, draperies, carpets, wooden floors and cabinets, paintings, pianos, etc.. Your home will be more comfortable at a lower temperature (i.e.: 68° F) at 3040% Relative Humidity (RH) than at 71° F without controlled humidity.

Physical Installation Remember to select a location that is readily accessible for periodic inspection and cleaning of your humidifier. This unit should be located on the cold air return side of the system for best results. However, if space does not permit, it can be mounted on the warm air supply side of the system. Please keep in mind that the evaporative capacity of the humidifier will be reduced if this alternate installation method is utilized.

Electrical Installation This humidifier is intended to be wired independently of the integrated control panel on your furnace. This will provide power to the humidifier at all times, causing the evaporator pad drum to rotate constantly. WARNING Improper electrical wiring can cause personal shock, injury, or property damage. It is required by local codes that the unit be installed by a properly qualified HVAC technician or electrician, following NEC and any other local codes.

Operation This 465-C1 humidifier operates on the silent principle of evaporation. When your unit is operating properly, you may observe the drum turning freely by looking through the observation window. Evaporation takes place as the air passes through the moistened evaporator pad held in place by the specially engineered rotating drum assembly. Operation is completely automatic.

Maintenance Periodic cleaning is required for the efficient and safe operation of this humidifier. Inspect the humidifier approximately once a month for mineral and algae growth. Algae may develop inside the humidifier if certain conditions exist in the water supplying the unit. Algae is a slimy substance which can be green, brown or white. It is advisable to add an algaecide to the water on a weekly basis. This algaecide can be 10 drops of bleach or bacteriostatic liquid/powder.

Remove the evaporator drum ends by squeezing the loop ends of the wire cage. 9. Coil the evaporator pad to free it from the wire cage. 10.
