→ Humidifiers

WARNING: Before installing or servicing system, al-

ways turn off main power to system. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Turn off accessory heater power if applicable. Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death.

CAUTION: Unit must not be installed where freezing temperatures could occur. Do not install unit on the furnace or fan coil jacket. Do not install unit where ends of cooling coil could restrict airflow to the humidifier. Condensation damage could occur if home has closedoff, unheated rooms.

INSTALLATION OF HUMBBLBP2018-A--

BYPASS HUMIDIFIER

Bryant’s HUMBBLBP2018-A-- bypass humidifiercanbe installed on either the supply or return plenum of a forced-air system. This unit requires an external bypass duct between the supply- and return-air ductwork.

It is recommended to install the humidifier where it can be easily serviced. If this humidifier is installed with a central cooling system the bypass duct must have a shutoff damper to close during the cooling season. Always install humidifier downstream of an electronic air cleaner.

1. Use 1/2-in. ID field-supplied vinyl tubing or equivalent tubing to connect overflow drain connection on unit water pan to drain. (See Fig. 16.)

2. Use worm clamp to hold tubing in position over overflow drain connection.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that line is free of traps due to sagging and has sufficient pitch to drain.

3. Unit must be level to provide proper drainage.

Fig. 16—Water Level in HUMBBWTR2019-A--

VII. MAKE WATER CONNECTION

1. Mount saddle valve on cold water line according to local codes.

2. For plastic tube installations: run 1/4-in. OD tubing (supplied) from saddle valve to float valve. Prepare tubing ends with plastic compression sleeves and brass inserts, and tighten compression fittings. Plastic compression nut supplied with float valve should not be torqued greater than 25 in.-lb. For copper tubing installations: copper tubing may be connected to float valve by using a field-supplied 1/4 to 1/4 in. straight-through compression union. Run copper tubing to 1 side of compression union and use a standard compression sleeve. Tighten compression nut to torque recommended by manufacturer. Attach approximately 6 in. of polyethylene supply tubing (supplied) between compression union and float valve. Prepare polyethylene tubing on both ends with brass inserts to prevent tubing collapse. Use compression nut at union to manufacturer’s recommended torque, tighten plastic nut on float valve to maximum of 25 in.-lb.

3. Open valve and check installation for leaks.

NOTE: Valve is self piercing on copper lines; 1/4-in. hole must be drilled in steel or iron pipes. Use only a grounded drill or a hand drill to avoid shock hazard. Turn off water and drain the pipe prior to drilling 1/4-in. hole.

1. Mount humidistat on inside wall or return-air duct in accordance with section INSTALLATION OF HUMIDISTAT on page 10.

NOTE: Wiring must comply with national electrical code and any local codes or ordinances that may apply. (See Fig. 17.)

IX. START-UP

1. Open saddle valve to permit water to flow to the solenoid valve.

2. Check all connections for water leaks.

3. Set thermostat to call for heat. Set humidistat at highest humidity setting to be sure the contacts are closed. After a few minutes of operation, check the drain connection for leaks and to see if water is flowing through humidifier.

4. Reverse thermostat and humidistat settings to insure proper shutdown.

5. Reset thermostat to normal setting. Reset humidistat to recommended setting.

X. FINAL STEPS

Attach humidifier maintenance instruction sticker to a visible location.

1. Inform homeowner of proper operation, maintenance, and humidistat setting.

a. If unit is installed during cooling season, close bypass

damper, set humidistat for summer setting (OFF or lowest setting).

INSTALLATION OF HUMIDISTAT

The humidistat provides automatic control of humidifiers in central heating systems. It is designed for low voltage, wall, or surface duct mounting and contains a SPST snap-acting dustproof switch.

CAUTION: Disconnect power supply before making wiring connections to prevent possible electrical shock and equipment damage. Make wiring connections in accordance with Installation Instruction supplied with the humidifier.

1. Installer must be a trained, experienced service person.

2. Disconnect power supply before beginning installation.

3. Conduct a thorough checkout before leaving installation.

I. WALL MOUNTING (LOW VOLTAGE)

1. Choose a location for humidistat about 5 ft above floor on inside wall with average room temperature and relative humidity conditions. Maximum ambient temperature of selected location must not exceed 125°F. Humidistat may be mounted directly on wall.

2. Drill a small hole in wall and run low-voltage wiring to location chosen. Pull about 6 in. of wire through hole. Plug opening to prevent drafts from affecting humidistat operation.

3. Remove knob, faceplate, and switch assembly from case by following steps listed below.

a. Remove knob by pulling away from casing. (See Fig.

18.)

b. Lift off faceplate, starting at right side. Left end of

faceplate protrudes under lip of casing. (See Fig. 18.)

c. Remove switch by removing 2 screws in back of casing.

Pressing tab on case. Lift out control. (See Fig. 19.)

4. Make connections to screw terminals on switch assembly. Re-install switch into casing — secure with 2 short screws.

5. Mount case horizontally over wires directly to wall using 2 long screws provided.

6. Replace faceplate and knob.

II. DUCT MOUNTING (LOW VOLTAGE)

1. Locate humidistat at least 8 in. upstream of humidifier in return-air duct. If mounting near elbow area, keep device 6 in. upstream of elbow so element will be affected by normal airflow. (See Fig. 20.)

2. Remove protective backing from template furnished with each control and apply self-adhesive side on return air duct at selected location. Following instructions on template and in Fig. 21, drill 2 mounting holes and six 1/4-in. diameter sensing holes in duct. Sensing holes allow return air to reach nylon sensing element and operate humidistat.

NOTE: If desired, cut square hole in duct as indicated on template as an alternative to holes.

3. Removeprotective backing from foam gasket provided with control and apply to template.

4. Run low-voltage wire from humidifier to template. Lay wire over 1 side of foam gasket. Wire can enter humidistat case from any direction.

IMPORTANT: Do not position wire directly under standoff projections at back of case. If wire is under these projections, case will not seat tightly against gasket causing air leakage and possible improper operation.

5. Remove knob, faceplate, and switch assembly from case by following steps listed below.

a. Remove knob by pulling away from casing. (See Fig.

18.)

b. Lift off faceplate, starting at right side. Left end of

faceplate protrudes under lip on casing. (See Fig. 18.)

c. Remove switch by removing 2 screws in back of casing.

Pressing tab on case. Lift out control. (See Fig. 19.)

6. Make connections to screw terminals on switch assembly. Re-install switch into casing — secure with 2 short screws.

7. While holding wire in place. Mount humidistat case horizontally on duct using 2 mounting screws provided. Tighten firmly so that gasket seals space around wires and between case and duct. (See Fig. 21.)

8. Replace faceplate and knob.

III. WIRING

All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.

IV. ADJUSTMENT

Recommended humidistat setting should only be used as a guide. After adjustment of setting, allow at least 5 hr for equilibrium to be reached. Condensation on single pane windows or woodwork indicates excessive moisture. Condensation must not be allowed to continue for extended periods of time, or moisture damage can result. Lower humidistat setting in small steps until condensation disappears. However, if air is too dry, raise the setting.

V. OPERATION

When relative humidity falls to humidistat set point, the humidistat switch makes contact and starts humidifier. In some central unit humidifier systems, furnace fan must be operating before humidifier will start. An increase in relative humidity above set point will stop humidifier.

VI. CHECKOUT

Place system in operation and observe at least 1 complete cycle to make certain that all components are functioning properly.
