11SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION
1. The humidifier should be installed on the supply plenum,
preferably near the coil. Mounting near the evaporative
coil, if applicable, will allow any excess moisture to exit
the system via the condensation drain pan.
2. On vertical equipment allow clearance of the humidifier
and related components such as the water filter and
plastic water live, from the exhaust vent.
3. On vertical equipment, if the nozzle is spraying away
from the coil, there should be a minimum of three feet
from the nozzle to the top of the plenum. If this is not
available, then point the nozzle of the humidifier
directly into the evaporative coil.
4. Always install downstream of an electronic air cleaner.
Drill or ‘knock out’ a 1” hole & 4 mounting holes for the
#6 screws on the mounting template.

Troubleshooting Guide
1. Humidity Reading Will Not Increase
When humidity levels are in the teens it may take several
weeks to notice an increase in humidity in your home.
This is due to the fact that virtually all of the moisture has
evaporated from the wood, drywall, carpets, draperies, and
furniture. Until this moisture is replaced, materials will
absorb moisture from the air, causing very little humidity
rise in the rooms.
2. In-line Fitler Installation
When installing the in-line water filter, it is important that
enough water be flushed through the filter. Up to three
gallons of water (or until the water flow is clear) should be
run through the filter to prevent micro fine particles form
clogging the sprayer nozzle.
3. Humidifier Water Connections
The plastic fittings supplied with the humidifier should be
finger tightened, plus 1/4 turn with pliers. Over tightening
with pliers or a wrench will cause the fittings to crack and
split, thus leaking water. The plastic fittings are OK to use
on copper pipe. The brass compression fittings should be
tightened with a wrench, and then re-checked for leaks.
The brass nut should slide on the tube first, followed by the
compression sleeve, and the brass tube end inserted last.
Then the tube should be inserted into the humdifier
valve base and tightened with pliers or a wrench.

4. Too much moisture in the duct
The IntelliMist Humidifier must be used with either the
Totaline Humidistat (P110-0009) or Intellistat (P374-1600).
Any other controller will cause a continuous (non-pulsed)
spray. Check setup step 1 (Humidistat) or step 9 (Intellistat)
to make sure pulse is turned on - if pulse is set to off,
the humidifier sprays constantly, producing too much water.
Maker sure the controller is set to the correct tonnage to
match the air handler, setup step 3 (Humidistat) or step 10
(Intellistat). Humidistat: make sure HUM wire from
humidistat is connected to the W or W1 terminal on the
furnace, but NOT to the G or fan terminal. Interlocking the
humidistat with the fan will cause the humidifier to run
during fan-only or cooling, which will result in excess
water in the duct. To run the humidifier in fan-only, use the
Intellistat. For more information, see Factors that Affect
Humidity Control.
5. Can’t raise humidity enough
Make sure the controller is set to the correct tonnage to
match the air handler, setup step 3 (humidistat) or step 10
(Intellistat). With the Intellistat it is possible to bring on the
fan and humidifier any time the humidity is below the
setpoint. To enable this feature turn on setup step 11, which
will help to increase humidity in the space. Humidity can
also be increased by running the fan continuously (Fan On
button) or by using the programmable fan feature of the
Intellistat to bring the fan on at selected intervals. Check
the position of humidifier spray nozzle to make sure good
evaporation is occurring - on short plenums if the spray is
hitting the end of the plenum, it is better to turn the spray
toward the coil.

INTELLIMIST HUMIDIFIER
Page 13
6. Humidifer won’t spray
Check the red LED on humidifier, which must be viewed
straight on. When the light is on the humidifier is attempting to
to spray. If there is no spray, check the nozzle for blockage
- if blocked remove and rinse or replace the nozzle. If the
light never comes on, the humidifier is not receiving a signal
to spray, or has no power. Check the controller to make
sure there is a humidity demand - on the humdistat three
raindrops will appear when it is calling for the humidifier to
spray, on the intellistat a small vertical bar will appear in the
lower left corner of the screen. If the symbol appears, check
the wiring or, if using the humidistat, see below.
7. Raindrops appear on the humidistat but the
humidifier won’t spray.
There may a compatibility problem with the furnace.
Add a pilot relay with the coil connected to W and C
on the furnace and the contacts to HUM and R on the
humidistat. This will isolate the humidistat from the 24
VAC and solve the problem. Humidistats manufactured
after 5/00 have built in isolation.
8. What are the R and C terminals for on the Humidifier?
These terminals are merely tie-off points provided for
convenience. It is not necessary to connect them to
anything.

9. Increasing Humidity in the Home: Factors that
Affect Humidity
For homes that are in very dry climates with humidity
levels in the teens, it may take several days or up to a week
to notice increases in humidity in the spaces. This is due to
the fact that virtually all the moisture has evaporated from
the wood, drywall, carpets, draperies, and furniture. Until
this moisture is replaced materials will absorb moisture
from the air, causing little or very little relative humidity
rise in the rooms. As with any whole-house humidifier, the
Humidifier can only increase the moisture in the house
when the fan is running Therefore, in climates where little
heating is required and the heating/fan system is therefore
run very few hours per day, the fan must be run in the non-
heating modes to increase the humidity in the rooms.
This can be accomplished in one of three ways.
1. The Intellistat in setup step 11 can be set to ON, then the
Intellistat will run the fan and humidifier any time the
humidity is below the setpoint.
2. The fan in setup step 13 through 15 of the Intellistat can
be programmed to run so many minutes per hour during
certain hours of the day. The Humidifier will run any time
the fan runs and the humidity is below the setpoint.
3. The fan can be run continuously with the fan ON button.
The Humidifier will then run constantly on a call for
humidity with the Intellistat.

INTELLIMIST HUMIDIFIER

10. Factors That Affect Humidity: Additional Notes
Even though the IntelliMist Humidifier puts out more
humidity than any other whole-house humidifier, up to 24
gallons per day, it may not be possible to increase the
humidity to a high level especially if the outside humidity
is fairly low. For instance, with an outdoor air temperature
of 40 degrees and 20% relative humidity, when the air is
heated up to 72 degrees, the resulting humidity in the house
is 8%. The amount of humidity that can be added to the air
is limited by the airflow in the ductwork and the temperature
of the air. Hot air, which you have when the furnace is
running, can hold 6 time as much moisture as the air can
hold when only the fan is running. It is much easier to
increase the humidity in the house with the furnace running
versus when only the fan is running. Both applications are
limited by the amount of moisture that can be put into the air
going through the ductwork without the moisture actually
condensing in the ductwork.

OUTPUT CHECK
To check that all the terminals are in proper working
order at the factory Carrier has created a test screen
located in the calibration mode of the Humidistat.
1. Push the 'on/off' button and the 'down' arrow until
all icons on the LCD screen are visible.
2. Now push the 'on/off' button once more.
3. The screen you are currently seeing is our test mode to
ensure proper wiring between the Humidistat and the
Humidifier. Push the 'flow' button to energize the
Intellimist Humidifier. Water droplets on the bottom left
hand corner of the screen will appear and the red LED
will energize. Push the 'flow' button once more to
deenergize the Intellimist Humidifier.
4. The screen you are now seeing is our test mode to ensure
proper wiring between the Humidistat and the Furnace
board, if your furnace is currently energized the
Humidistat will display an H in the upper right hand
corner of your screen. If the furnace is not energized a
dash will appear in the upper right hand corner of your
screen.
5. Push the 'on/off' button to exit the test screen and enter
into the normal operating screen.
