69-1111EF—05 2

WELCOME

To the comfortable world of humidified air. When you use your Honeywell humidifier,

notice that your skin is not as dry, and that your scratchy throat and irritated nasal

passages that aggravate allergies and asthma are steadily improving.

You have also taken the first step in reducing the zapping you create when you walk on

your carpet and then touch your TV, computer, metal door knob or your pet. Your

furniture and woodwork are also benefitting from the difference that humidified air

makes.

Congratulations! You have just made a great investment in improving the comfort of

your home.

APPLICATION

This kit contains your new Honeywell HE220 or HE260 Humidifier, H8908 Humidistat

and all the accessories required for installation.

HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS

Your Honeywell humidifier uses the principle that vapor (evaporated water) is created

when warm air blows over a water soaked area. As the vapor circulates, the relative

humidity rises.

Your humidity control monitors the relative humidity and activates the humidifier

accordingly. The humidifier water supply disburses water evenly over the humidifier

pad. The warm dry air from the furnace passes over the humidifier pad and picks up

the moist air to circulate it through your home.

Humidified air feels warmer and more comfortable so you may be able to lower your

thermostat heating setpoint and save money on your heating fuel bills. The end result

is that your humidifier gives you a comfortable environment that is also energy

efficient.

IMPORTANT

Please read these instructions and keep them in your records.

Required Tools

Tools required for installation include:

• Tin snips.

• Screwdriver.

• Adjustable or open-end wrench.

• Level.

• Work Gloves (preferably cut resistant)

• Safety Glasses

• Battery-powered Drill, punch or awl.

CAUTION

Voltage Hazard.

Use a battery-powered drill to avoid electrocution if inadvertently coming into

contact with water in plumbing lines.

INSTALLATION

Preparing for the Installation

Be sure to identify all the required (Table 1) accessories (included) and make sure the

appropriate tools are available before beginning the installation.

Determining Best Location for Humidifier

CAUTION

Temperature and Static Pressure Hazard.

Can cause property or equipment damage.

Locate humidifier where ambient temperature is between 32°F (0°C) and

160°F (71°C).

Do not install humidifier where freezing temperatures could occur.

Be sure supply plenum static pressure is no greater than 0.4 in. wc and water

pressure is no greater than 124 psi.

• Select a location for the humidifier on the supply (warm air stream) plenum.

See Fig. 1.

• Select a location that cannot damage the air conditioner A-coil during installation.

• Do not locate the humidifier on the furnace body.

• Allow adequate clearance in front of and above the humidifier so you can easily

remove the cover to perform routine maintenance.

— Mount the humidifier at least 3 in. (78 mm) above the furnace body to allow

adequate space for the solenoid valve and drain line.

— Mount the humidifier in a conditioned space to prevent freezing.

Fig. 1. Typical humidifier installation locations.

Selecting Water Supply Location

• Use either hard or soft water in the humidifier and either hot or cold water. The

water flow rate, with the humidifier running, is 3.5 gal/hr (13 liters/hr) to flush the

pad and provide moisture for evaporation.

• Make sure that the 20 ft (6.2m) of feed water tubing provided is adequate to

connect the water supply (saddle valve) with the humidifier solenoid valve.

Locating Closest Floor Drain

• Select location with access to a floor drain to provide drainage for air conditioner

condensation and humidifier drainage.

• If you do not have a drain available, we recommend that you install the Honeywell

Whole House Drum or Disk Humidifier. Make sure that the 10 ft (3.1m) of drain

tubing is adequate to reach from the humidifier drain connection to the floor drain.

Selecting Location for S688 Sail Switch

• Select a location for the sail switch in the cold air return duct where the sail is in the

direct path of an unrestricted air stream.

— Sail switch detects when furnace fan is operating.

• Select a location where the air duct is at least 12 in. (305 mm) deep and 8 in. (203

mm) wide to allow operation of the sail without affecting the smooth flow of air in the

duct.

— Airflow at the location can be vertical (up or down) or horizontal.

IMPORTANT

Mounting the S688 in warm air supply duct can reduce the sail life.

• Mount the switch at least 6 in. (152 mm) upstream from an elbow or junction, and at

least 15 in. (381 mm) downstream from an elbow or junction.

• Locate the switch on the opposite side of the duct from the air entrance. (See Fig.

1-3 in S688 Installation Instructions.)

Selecting Location for Humidistat

• Select a location for the humidistat on the return plenum or on the wall in the living

space.

— Mounting on the return plenum is the easiest installation for the control wiring

circuit.

For return duct mounting, the humidistat should be mounted upstream from the

humidifier or bypass so that it is properly sensing the relative humidity of the living

space. Locate the control at least 8 in. (203 mm) upstream from the humidifier in the

return air duct. (See Fig. 2.)

Fig. 2. Selecting duct location for humidistat.

Locating Closest 120V Electrical Outlet

• Select location with access to an outlet. If not available, contact an electrician to

have one installed.

• Make sure that the humidifier cord is adequate to reach from the humidifier to the

outlet.

• Make sure that the 20 ft (6.2m) of thermostat wire is adequate to reach from the

humidifier solenoid, to the sail switch, to the humidistat.

CAUTION

Sharp Edges Installation Hazard.

Can cause personal injury.

Wear gloves and safety glasses.

1. Turn off power to the air handing system at the circuit breaker.

2. Draw a level line on the plenum in the location chosen for the humidifier.

(Leveling assures optimal humidifier performance.)

3. Locate the template (form number 69-1650 included in the box). For the

HE220 model, cut out the template along the dotted line.

4. Tape the template in position and trace around the template.

5. Remove the template and carefully cut the rectangular opening.

6. Disassemble the humidifier; remove the cover and take out the humidifier pad

assembly. See Fig. 3.

Fig. 3. Disassembling humidifier.

7. Make sure the humidifier housing is level, then position it in the opening so the

plastic tabs are in place on the lower sheet metal edge of the opening. Use pli-

ers, as necessary, to flatten cut edges. See Fig. 4.

8. Secure the humidifier housing to the opening at the top and bottom using sheet

metal screws.

bypass.

10. Carefully cut the opening for a 6 in. (155 mm) starter collar. See Fig. 5. Use a

drill, punch or awl to start the cut in the middle of the circle. Cut in an outward

spiral to assist in controlling the cut.

11. Assemble the summer shutoff damper into the starter collar. Verify that the

damper rotates freely between the open and closed positions. Make sure the

handle is accessible. Mark the damper Closed position as Summer and the

Open position as Winter. See Fig. 6.
