ACTIVE HUMIDITY OPTION OVERVIEW
Use of the Active Humidity Option
Humidity may uctuate in the wine cellar. The Active Humidity Option stabilizes the environment by adding moisture when the
wine cellar is becoming dry. Using a humidistat and a water source, the Active Humidity Option is able to regulate and establish a
humid environment suitable for wine storage.
Note: The ideal humidity of a wine cellar is between 50-70%.
General Active Humidity Option Recommendations
• Water source needs to have at least 40 psi.
• Water tubbing size: 1/4” O.D
• Water source should be tested for content and characteristics.
• In areas that are known to have hard water, the use of a Water-Softener System is required.
Note: Failure to install a Water-Softener or a Filtration system will allow an
excessive particle residue buildup and may lead to system failure.
• Even if the area is not known to have hard water, the use of a Filtration System (Particle Filter) is required.
• Clean the evaporator coil every 3 months to remove particle residue buildup.
• It might be best to use a Self-Piercing Saddle Valve as a simple connection to a water source.
• Clean or replace the Misting Nozzle every 12 months.
Water Flow Order
• The water supply should pass through either
a Water-Softener or a Filtration system before
reaching the unit as shown in Figure 2.
• Route a 1/4”Copper, Pex or equivalent tubing from
the water source and connect to the water inlet
tting on the unit as shown in Figure 3.
• Turn on the water and check for leaks.
Self-Piercing Saddle Valve
Install a Self-Piercing Saddle Valve to a near by water supply for
simple connection to a water source as shown in Figure 1.
Do not allow water leakage inside of the Unit. TUBING OUTLET

Removing the Cover
1. Move both slide controls to the bottom position.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws at the bottom of the humidistat as shown in Figure 5.
Removing the Cover
1. Plug the circular connector from the humidistat cable into the circular connector on the unit as shown in
Figure 4.
2. Route the wire from the unit to the desired humidistat location.
Mounting Without a Wall Mount Plate
1. Make sure the power to humidistat electrical wires is shut o at the main electrical box before installing the unit.
2. Position the back half of the humidistat cabinet on the wall or junction box and ensure it is level and covers the
junction box completely.
3. Pull the electrical wires through the hole at the terminal block of the humidistat.
4. Drill holes in the wall through the 2 mounting holes in the back of the humidistat cabinet as shown in Figure 7
and insert anchors into the holes.
5. Fasten the humidistat to the wall with screws through the mounting holes.

Mounting With a Wall Mount Plate
1. Make sure the power to humidistat electrical wires is shut o at the main electrical box before installing the unit.
2. Position the wall mount plate on the wall or junction box and ensure the plate is level and covers the junction
box completely.
3. Pull the electrical wires through the hole in the wall mount plate.
4. Drill holes in the wall through the 2 mounting holes in the back of the wall plate as shown in Figure 8 and insert
anchors into the holes.
5. Then drill holes through the 2 mounting holes in the wall plate where the humidistat will attach and insert
anchors into the holes.
6. Pull the electrical wires through the hole at the terminal block.
7. Fasten the wall plate with 2 screws through the mounting holes.
8. Then fasten the humidistat to the wall plate with screws through the mounting holes.
Reattaching the Cover
1. Move both slide controls to the bottom position.
2. Align the humidistat adjustment shaft horizontally as shown in Figure 10.
Correct Humidistat Settings
1. Rotate the dial to the desired humidity level.
2. Set the bottom selector switch to the Humid setting.
3. Set the top selector switch to the Hi setting.
3. In order for the humidistat dial to t on the shaft, it must be aligned with the
pointer above the dial.
4. Carefully attach the top cover and ensure the cover locks into place by pushing
down on the top and then pushing inward toward the wall.
5. Attach the screws again at the bottom of the cover and tighten into place as
shown in Figure 11.
6. Check that the adjustment dial and slide controls can be moved smoothly,
otherwise remove the cover and check the alignment of the dial and the
adjustment shaft and slide controls.
Electrical Connection
1. Connect the electrical wires to the corresponding terminals on the terminal block following the circuit diagram
inside the top cover of the unit. See Figure 9
2. Connect the white wire to the N terminal, the red wire to the 1 terminal and the black wire to the L terminal on
the humidistat.
