Safety and Installation Instructions*
INSTALLER: READ COMPLETE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION. (Throughout this document, the terms “Compustat” and “humidifier control”
are used interchangeably.)
WARNING: This product is for residential applications only, and must be installed by a qualified HVAC contractor. Failure to comply could invalidate the product warranty, or result in serious injury or electrocution.
DANGER:
•Disconnect electrical power to the furnace before beginning installation. Contact with a live electrical wire can cause serious injury or electrocution.
•Use caution when cutting plenum openings and handling ductwork. Sharp edges can cause serious cuts and bleeding.
CAUTION:
•Do not mount Compustat on the supply duct or plenum. The unit will not withstand supply temperatures.
•Do not mount Compustat downstream of the bypass outlet. Inaccurate humidity readings will cause the humidifier to operate incorrectly.
•When installing Compustat on downflow furnaces, make sure the blower continues to run after a heat call is satisfied, to prevent high temperatures from damaging the control.
•Do not set the humidity so high that condensation forms on windows or walls. Indoor condensation may result in damage to the home.
*These instructions are for installation of the Skuttle Compustat humidifier control only. For installation of a Skuttle humidifier, refer to the instructions packaged with the humidifier.
