STEP #4: WATER SUPPLY AND DRAINAGE CONNECTION
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THE EVAPORATOR PAD IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY BEFORE
YOU MAKE THE WATER CONNECTIONS.
1. SAND BOTH ENDS of the water supply tube (Figure 16). FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT
IN LEAKS.
Figure 16
2. Prepare the end of the ¼" tubing for water connection to the humidifier (All required
hardware supplied in the saddle-valve kit in the installation package) (Figure 17).

3. Make the tube connection to the humidifier
using an adjustable wrench (not supplied) to
tighten the nut (Figure 18).
4. Select the most convenient location for
connecting the selfpiercing needle valve
on a cold water pipe. Connect the needle
valve as shown (Figure 19). The hardware
shown is supplied in the needle-valve kit.
Once the the valve is connected to a pipe as
shown, TURN THE VALVE CLOSED ALL THE
WAY, and then open so water can flow to the
humidifier. Check all fittings for leaks and
tighten/repair if necessary.

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 20).

STEP #5: ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Model 6000 humidifier is equipped with a digital
humidistat built into the humidifier. This humidistat
monitors the relative humidity level of the air in
your home.
1. Locate the humidifier terminal panel on the
side of the humidifier cabinet, behind the
bypass tube. Connect the two red wires from
the Digital Humidistat Top Console to the two
terminals marked "24 VAC IN" (Figure 21).
It does not matter which wire is connected to
which terminal.
2. Locate the two black wires from the Digital
Humidistat Top Console, connect these wires
to the two wires from the 24 Volt plug in
transformer.
3. Use the insulated staples included with your
installation package to secure any loose wiring.
STEP #6: TESTING THE INSTALLATION
If you have not already replace the front cover of the humidifier and secure in place using the
plastic thumb screw.
1. Make sure all water connections are secure and do not leak. Also, ensure that all
components are secure and installed correctly.
2. Plug in the 24-Volt transformer into a constant 120-Volt power source (an outlet which
cannot be shut off via a wall switch). Turn on the humidifier by depressing the main red ON/
OFF button – When the unit is powered the main green LED on the Digital Humidistat Top
Console will turn ON (Figure 22).

3. Set the digital humidistat to a setting of 50% + , This ensures the humidistat is calling
for humidity – If the digital humidistat is not calling for humidity at the BEGINNING of the
furnace cycle the humidifier will not turn on, if you turn up the digital humidistat in the
middle of the furnace cycle the humidifier will wait until the NEXT cycle to turn on. SEE

4. Turn on the power to your furnace and turn up the thermostat so that the furnace cycles on
in heating mode.
OPERATING TIP: Most furnaces will take a few minutes to allow heat to build up before the
furnace fan will run. The "HUMIDISENSE" control contained in the humidifier will wait until it
senses your furnace fan blowing hot air. If only your furnace fan is running the unit should not
turn on. The "HUMIDISENSE" will not turn the humidifier on until is senses a temperature rise of
4°C and the air temperature is over 30°C. This ensures the efficient use of water.
5. Depending on your furnace type the unit should turn on within approx 60 seconds of the
furnace entering the HEATING cycle. You will know because the green "HUMIDISENSE" LED
on the front of unit will turn on (Figure 23). If the unit does not turn on refer to the trouble
shooting section in the Maintenance Guide.
