The use of a safety lock-out circuit is highly recommended. The circuit below is effective at
stopping the humidifier operation if the fan motor fails for any reason. The use of a system
interlock is optional and not required for basic operation. Failure to incorporate a lock-out
can result in excessive condensation inside the duct work and/or possible flood damage,
if the HVAC Fan/Blower fails to operate. This solution is provided as a supplement. Flood or
water damage as a result of not using this diagram is not the responsibility of EWC Controls.
