3. 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 can be more comfortable at a lower temperature (i.e.: 68° F) at 30-40% Relative Humidity (RH) than at 71° to 72° F without controlled humidity. Since every degree of temperature setback represents about 3% of your heating costs, this can possibly represent a significant annual savings. During the heating season, cold air infiltrates the home and must be heated.
When heated, this air dries out and greatly increases its capacity to hold more moisture. By using a humidifier, a source of water is provided to satisfy this increased moisture holding capability, rather than having it drawn from our body surface and the surrounding furnishings in the home.
3.1 Basic Operation
Your ComfortBREEZETM flow-through evaporative humidifier operates on the principles of evaporation. Water is introduced to an evaporator pad as warm air from the duct is circuilated through the pad. The warm air evaporates the water and the relative humidity of the air increases. Any excess water is passed to the drain. CB300S units are equipped with a ComfortSmart controller which acts to minimize the amount of water that may flow to the drain by adjusting the total water flow to the humidifier.
Setting the humidistat in the recommended range of 30-40% relative humidity assures automatic humidity control during the heating season. A lower setting may be necessary to prevent condensation on windows during the coldest part of the winter. An electronic humidistat is supplied with CB300S units that can automatically adjust the setpoint as the outdoor temperature falls.
Minimal action is needed to turn the humidifier off for the summer months. Simply rotate the damper to the closed position and lower the humidistat setpoint.

! CAUTION
Trion recommends that this humidifier be installed by a trained HVAC professional. Do not connect the unit to the power source until the installation is complete. A thorough checkout of the unit installation should be completed before operating the unit. Failure to follow these directions may void the manufacturer’s original warranty.
4.2 Mounting
The ComfortBREEZE CB300/CB300S humidifier may be mounted directly to the warm air supply duct or the return duct of your HVAC system. Certain conditions must be met to ensure proper unit operation. Refer to the following list.
•Ensure that the duct surface is reinforced, if necessary, to allow the unit to remain level and plumb.
•Ensure that the humidifier has adequate clearance to allow for the removal and replacement of the evaporator pad.
•When installing the humidifier in an attic or above a ceiling, a drain tray must be installed under the unit as a precautionary measure to prevent water damage from occuring if a leak develops.
•The recommended humidistat range is 30-40% relative humidity. If condensation occurs on windows, the humidistat setting must be lowered to prevent condensation damage.
•DO NOT install the humidifier where freezing temperatures may occur.
•DO NOT install the humidifier where it interferes with the furnace access panels.
•DO NOT install the humidifier close to a flue pipe. Intense heat may damage the humidifier.
•DO NOT mount the humidifier in the jacket of a cased coil. It is preferable to mount the humidifier immediately downstream of the cased coil, if present. Ensure that the humidifier does not interfere with the coil ends.
•DO NOT mount the humidifier in a furnace jacket.
•DO NOT install on gravity hot air systems.
•DO NOT connect a hot water supply to ComfortBreeze humidifiers that are equipped with water saving controls.
(ComfortSmart Technology).
1.Tape the mounting template to the duct so that it is flat and the top edge is level.
2.Carefully remove the center of the template by tearing along the perforated lines. Use a marker to trace on the duct along the cutout opening.
! WARNING
Electrical power to the furnace must be disconnected before proceeding. Serious injury or death may result.
3.Drill the holes marked on the template. Remove the template from the duct and carefully cut the duct along the outside edge of the rectangle that was traced by the marker. Remove any burrs from the cut edge of the sheet metal taking care not to injure yourself.
4.Apply the gasket material found in the accessory bag to the duct around the rectangular cutout.
5.Lift the humidifer into the rectangular opening so that the plastic tabs engage the lower edge of the rectangular opening. The tabs should be on the inside of the duct. Tilt the upper edge of the humidifier against the duct so that the mounting holes line up with the drilled holes on the duct. Secure the humidifier with two #8 X 3/4” self-drilling-
