INSTALLATION

SELECT THERMOSTAT LOCATION

Proper location insures that the humidity control will provide a desired humidity level throughout the home. Observe the following general rules when selecting a location.

1.Locate humidity control about 5 ft. above the floor.

2.Install humidity control on a partitioning wall, not on an outside wall.

3.For most residential applications locate humidity control adjacent to the existing wall thermostat for easy installation and wiring.

4.Never expose humidity control to direct light from lamps, sun, fireplaces or any temperature radiating equipment.

5.Avoid locations close to windows, adjoining outside walls, or doors that lead outside.

ROUTE WIRES TO LOCATION

All wiring must conform with local and national electri- cal codes and ordinances.

1.Probe for obstructions in partition before drilling 1/2" hole in wall at selected location. Take up quarter round and drill a small guide hole for sighting (see Fig. 1). From basement, drill 3/4" hole in partition floor next to guide hole. In basementless houses, drill 1/2" hole through ceiling and into partition from above (see Fig. 1).

CAUTION

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect electrical power to system, at main fuse or circuit breaker box, until installa- tion is complete. Verify power is off with a voltme- ter.

2.Through this hole drop a light chain, or 6" chain attached to a strong cord. Snag cord in basement with hooked wire. In basementless houses, drop cord through hole in ceiling and down partitioning; snag cord at the humidistat location.

3.Attach humidistat cable to cord and pull cable through hole in wall so that 6" of cable protrudes.

4.Position a typical electrical re-work box over 1/2" hole and cut around outline of electrical box. Pull wiring through knockout and secure electrical box in wall.
