Model HM506 HM509 HM512 Required Minimum Circuit Capacity 7 Amps 10 Amps 12 Amps Step 2: Mounting on the Supply Duct • Position template on supply duct, and ensure proper clearances from A-coil. Step 3: Mount Bracket • Secure bracket to duct using provided self-drilling sheet metal screws. Step 4: Insert Duct Nozzle • Install duct nozzle by ensuring o-ring gasket is properly seated in the groove, and slide foam gasket down over nozzle. • Insert nozzle and twist clockwise to ensure tight seal of nozzle to TrueSTEAM. Step 5: Mounting TrueSTEAM • Push down to secure humidifier to bracket arms. • Ensure gasket forms tight seal in duct hole. • Allow 4 inches clearance from nozzle outlet to any duct wall and allow 24 inches of downstream open duct air space to prevent duct condensation. Step 6: Plumbing Use only cold water. Do not use hot water supply. a. Water Filter. Insert 1/4-inch copper or plastic water line. Apply modest pull to ensure a tight fit. b. Back-flow preventer valve. Insert 1/4-in. copper or plastic water line. Apply modest pull to ensure a tight fit. c. Connect 1/2-in. drain tube. Secure drain tube to barbed fitting with hose clamp. d.

Step 6: Plumbing After Installation • Educate the homeowner on what to expect next. • It may take up to a week of continuous operation to achieve the humidity control set point. • A slight plastic smell may be detectable the first week of operation. This is normal and will dissipate after running a short time. • There may be a slight increase in the homeowner’s energy bill even when TrueSTEAM™ is sized and operating correctly. Set the expectation that comfort costs money to avoid callbacks.
