3. PRE-INSTALLATION
A. EQUIPMENT VERIFICATION
(1) Ensure that available voltage and phase corresponds with humidifier voltage and
phase as indicated on humidifier’s specification label.
(2) Ensure that the dedicated external fuse disconnect is of sufficient size to handle
the rated amps as indicated on the specification label. Refer to local codes.
(3) Report any discrepancy immediately to the site engineer.
(4) Location and mounting is described in Chapter 10-10.
(5) Typical installation is described in Chapter 10-10.
B. MOVING AND HANDLING THE HUMIDIFIER
(1) The NH Outdoor Series humidifier is bolted to a shipping skid for easy
transportation. While still attached the skid, the humidifier can be lifted to a rooftop
or other location using a forklift or crane. The unit can also be positioned for wall
mounting using a forklift as long as the skid is attached, although it may be easier
to manually lift the unit onto its wall brackets. Installation on a curb requires guide
lifting of the unit. Observe the following precautions when moving and positioning
the humidifier:
(a) When lifting by crane, ensure that the unit is protected from physical damage
by the tethers and lifting equipment.
(b) When lifting by forklift, ensure that unit is properly balanced and secured to
prevent tipping.
(c) Use proper lifting techniques when manually lifting. Often several people will
be required to lift the unit.
(d) Remove the cabinet doors before manually lifting the unit.
(e) Ensure that the humidifier is the proper model, capacity, and voltage for the
specific location.
