5. YOU MUST RUN A DRAINAGE TUBE FROM
THIS UNIT. Select a convenient location for
running the ½" drainage tube, 15 ft supplied.
Before you connect the tubing to the drain
fitting on the bottom of the unit, slip the ½"
hose clamp (supplied) over the tubing. Push
the tubing over the fitting and secure in place
with the hose clamp (Figure 17).
CAUTION:
DRAIN TUBING MUST NOT
KINK OR COME INTO CONTACT WITH SHARP
EDGES OR HOT SURFACES.
STEP #5: ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The humidistat supplied with the Model
5000 Humidifier can be either duct or wall
mounted. Duct mounting the humidistat is
the easiest installation. A wall mount provides
more convenient control of the humidifier and
depending on your heating/ventilation system may provide a more accurate indication of the
relative humidity level in your home. When wall mounting the humidistat you should choose a
central location (close to the furnace thermostat) and you may be required to purchase extra low
voltage wire to run back to the humidifier. 20 ga will be sufficient.
DUCTING MOUNTING THE HUMIDISTAT AND POWER CONNECTION TO THE HUMIDIFIER
The humidistat is packaged at the factory ready for wall mounting. You will have to convert it
to duct mounting. When duct mounting, the humidistat must be located upstream (approx 6")
from the humidifier or bypass tube on the return duct. Select a convenient location to mount
the humidistat on the return duct. The unit comes with a humidistat mounting template. THIS
TEMPLATE IS FOR DUCT MOUNTING THE HUMIDISTAT ONLY (Figure 18).

1. Drill the 4 marked humidistat mounting holes
on the template using the / " drill bit (not

supplied).
2. Using a / " drill bit (not supplied) drill a hole

inside the rectangle marked Humidistat Cut Out.
3. Using the / " hole drilled in step 2 as a
3

starting point cut out the Humidistat Cut Out
area using tin snips (not supplied)
4. Locate the humidifier terminal panel on the
side of the humidifier cabinet, behind the
bypass tube. Connect the two ends of the
transformer lead wires to the humidifier
terminals marked "24 VAC IN" (Figure 19).
5. Run the transformer lead wires from the
humidifier to the center of the hole you
created in step 3. Note the length of the
wire from the humidifier to this point, and
add approximately 2 more inches to this
length. At this point on the wire, carefully
cut the insulation between the conductors
and separate them approx 3" (Figure 20).

6. Cut on the conductors and strip (approx ¾") the insulation from both ends (Figure 21).
7. From the humidistat assembly included with your unit remove the humidistat. Gently pull
off the knob and label, and remove the humidistat cover (Figure 22).

8. Remove the humidistat control from the base plate by undoing the two screws holding it
in place.
9. In the duct mounting application the base plate is used as the front cover, reattach the
humidistat control to the base plate (Figure 18).
10. Using the two 90-degree terminals included with the humidistat kit, attach the two stripped
wire ends of the transformer leads that you cut in step 6 to the humidistat terminals.
11. Mount the humidistat assembly into the duct cut out made in step 3. Secure in place with
four screws provided in the humidistat kit (Figure 17).
12. Remove the paper backing from the humidistat label and apply onto the face plate. Install
the knob onto the humidistat control shaft.
WALL MOUNTING THE HUMIDISTAT AND POWER CONNECTION TO THE HUMIDIFIER
CAUTION:
WHEN CUTTING OR DRILLING IN A WALL TAKE CARE NOT TO HIT ANY OF
HOME'S ELECTRICAL OR OTHER UTILITIES.
1. Select a central location in the home at eye level on an inside wall. The best place is next
to the furnace's thermostat.
2. Drill a small hole to fish low voltage wire (not supplied) out of and leave approximately 6"
of wire leads outside of the hole for connection to the humidistat. Guide the other end of
the low voltage wire to the humidifier on the furnace.
3. Locate the humidifier terminal panel on the side of the humidifier cabinet, behind the
bypass tube. Connect the two ends of the transformer leads to the humidifier terminals
marked "24 VAC IN"
4. At any point along the transformer leads (most convenient location to connect the
transformer low voltage wire to the humidistat low voltage wire) carefully cut the insulation
between the two conductors and separate them approx 3" (Figure 20).
5. Cut one of the conductors and strip (approx. ¾") the insulation from both ends (Figure 21).
6. Using wire nuts (not supplied), connect the two stripped ends of the low voltage wire leads
from the humidistat to the two ends of the stripped transformer leads prepared in step 5.
7. Returning to the humidistat location, remove the cover plate from the humidistat. Feed
the 6" of low voltage wire through the
humidistat to the wall using four screws provided in the humidistat kit (Figure 22).
8. Using the two 90-degree wire terminals (included in the humidistat kit) connect the end of
the low voltage wire to the humidistat terminals.
9. Replace the cover. Remove the paper backing from the humidistat label, and apply to the
face of the cover. Install the knob onto the humidistat control shaft.
CHECKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION, DUCT MOUNT OR WALL MOUNT HUMIDISTAT.
Once the wiring is complete you should have all the components wired in series (a continuous
loop). Use the insulated staples included in you installation package to secure any loose wiring
(Figure 23).
