Excessive temperatures will damage your Humidifier and possibly cause an overflow condition and water damage to your home. 2) Do not install a Humidifier where surrounding temperatures may be 32°F or colder. Freezing water will damage your Humidifier and burst the supply pipe, resulting in home damage. [. . . ] 2) Run hose to suitable drain such as a floor drain, making sure that the tubing runs continuously downward with no restrictions. Be sure drain hose is not kinked at any point as water could back up and overflow out of the Drain Pan. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Note: Please read this section completely before attempting the 120V wiring. J IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Many newer furnaces have I Control Boards with ports for the connection of a Humidifier, simplifying installation. Check wiring diagram for your furnace to see if it has a control board if the and if the Humidifier ports are 120v or 24v. 4) Make the wiring connections as described in Step I. Wire nut and wrap each connection with electrical tape to complete the I2OV wiring. B) "LOAD" WIRING (24V) Refer to previous diagram Humidistat, Solenoid, and Transformer Connections 1) Humidistat: To complete the 24V wiring, the duct Humidistat must first be mounted. The Humidistat must be located on the return (cold) air plenum AND upstream of the Humidifier or by-pass on a flat vertical surface of the return air plenum or duct. It should not be closer than 6" to the Humidifier or bypass. Do not install the Humidistat on the Supply {HOT) air plenum. Follow installation instructions found in Humidistat package. 2) Connect a piece of the Low Voltage wire provided, from the LOAD side of transformer (or 24V Humidifier port on Control Board if applicable) to either Solenoid Valve wire. Connect another piece of wire from the other Solenoid Valve wire to the Humidistat. (Refer back to wiring diagram) 3) Lastly, connect a piece of the Low Voltage wire from the LOAD side of the transformer (or 24V common port on the Control Board if applicable) directly to the Humidistat. Control Board w/ 1120v Ports: Follow Steps in "LINE" Wiring, except make the wire Connections to the Humidifier ports on the Control Board instead of the Blower Motor.
