SECTION III INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting
The cabinet is designed to safely contain the working
components of the Herrmidifier 6000 series humidifier
and dissipate heat to protect the electronics. Locate
humidifier, steam pipe and accessories in a manner to
allow routine inspection and any necessary
maintenance. DO NOT install the unit above (such as
false ceilings) or around valuable property, where a
malfunction could cause damage. Correct positioning
of the humidifier is important to allow for proper
operation and easy maintenance. Minimum clearance
around the cabinet should be maintained as follows:
Remove foam packing from top of tank.
Four lag bolts, (2) 5/16' and (2) 1/4, are supplied with the
6000 unit. Install the top two lag bolts (5/16”) according
to the dimensions in Figure 3. Hang the unit on the wall,
and then install the bottom two lag bolts (1/4”) and
secure all four bolts. Be sure the unit is level and
mounted directly to the wall to wood studs at least 2'
thick (or equivalent). Operating weights are as follows:
6000-1,2: 35 lbs.
6000-3,4: 35 lbs.
Plumbing
To make the necessary connections for water fill and
drain the following steps are required: (refer to figure 4
for locations)
1. Install external shutoff valve between the water supply and
the humidifier for ease in servicing the unit.
2. Connect water supply to the 1/4' compression fitting on the
bottom of the cabinet.
CAUTION!
Do not use reverse osmosis or demineralized
water treatment without first consulting the
factory. This water may not be sufficientl
y
conductive to allow proper operation. Consul
t
factory if water is outside the range of allowable
conductivities. Do not use hot water.
3.
Connect the ¾” tube from the accessory pack to the drain
reservoir. Cut hose to necessary length.
WARNING!
Do not mount any controls inside the unit or tap
power from any location in the unit, except as
stated in these instructions. Do not place
objects near the cabinet. Do not attach to dr
y
wall without studs. At least one 5/16” and one
¼” lag bolt must be located on a stud.
4.
Insert the other end of the tube into a minimum 6” vertical
length of 1-1/4' minimum I.D. copper line. The balance of
the drain line should be 1” I.D. minimum with a minimum
1/8” per foot slope. (See Figure 4, page 8)
WARNING!
If the drain line is exposed, it is recommended
that it be insulated for safety. Do not use PVD
drain line unless “Drain Tempering” is enabled
(see page 10, step 10).
WARNING!
Do not mount any controls inside the unit or tap
power from any location in the unit, except as
stated in these instructions. Do not place
objects near the cabinet. Do not attach to dr
y
wall without studs. At least one 5/16” and one
¼” lag bolt must be located on a stud.
NOTE
Inlet water pressure must be in the range of 20-100
psig. Consult the factory if you are outside this range.
Softened water may be used but requires that the low
dram threshold be adjusted (page 13). Drain wate
r
can be tempered to lower its temperature (refer to
page 10).
