Introduction

CAUTION: Servicing

Disconnect main power before any servicing.

The plumbing and electrical compartments contain high voltage components and

wiring. Access should be limited to authorized personnel only.

During and following operation of the humidifier, the steam and components in

contact with the steam such as the blower pack, steam lines, steam distributors,

and condensate lines can become hot and can burn if touched.

Nortec does not accept any liability for installations of humidity equipment

installed by unqualified personnel or the use of parts/components/equipment

that are not authorized or approved by Nortec.

CAUTION: Electrical

All electrical work should be done according to local and national electrical code.

Electrical connection to be performed by a licensed electrician.

CAUTION: Plumbing

Plumbing to be performed by a licensed plumber.

Drain water from humidifier can be very hot. Do not drain to public sink.

All plumbing work should be done according to local plumbing code.

CAUTION: Installation

Do not mount on hot surfaces.

Do not mount in area where freezing can occur.

Do not mount on vibrating surface.

Do not mount on floor.

The RH2 produces steam at atmospheric pressure. No devices which could block

steam output should be connected to the steam outlet.

Steam lines must be installed so that no restriction can produce backpressure in

the humidifier.

Regardless of selecting on/off or modulating control method, Nortec humidifiers

must have a closed circuit across its on/off security loop control terminal to

operate. Nortec highly recommends the use of a high limit humidistat.

RH2 Models

The RH2 is the most advanced residential steam humidifier available and provides steady and

reliable humidification for a home using the same proven cylinder technology as Nortec’s

industrial electrode platform. The RH2 is available in 2 models: Duct, and Space. The duct

model is designed for connection to a steam distributor installed in a supply air duct, or for

connection to a remote blower pack. The space model is designed for applications where

humidity is to be introduced directly into the conditioned environment. The two models can be

differentiated by the grille in the humidifiers front cover, see Figure 2: RH2 Models.

Location

Mount on a suitable wall or vertical surface. Do not sit the unit on the floor. Allow clearances

required for plumbing and electrical connections. Clearance dimensions shown are for

reference only and are the minimum required for maintenance of the humidifier. Consult local

and national codes before final location and installation. Nortec does not accept responsibility

for installation code violations.

Install only in areas with ambient temperature 41-104°F (5 –40°C) relative humidity

5 - 95%.

When possible install below the steam distributor. Take care to provide proper steam line

routing and proper condensate traps.

DO NOT locate the humidifier any further then absolutely necessary from the steam

distributor location as net output will be reduced as a result of heat loss through the steam

line.

When possible, mount the RH2 humidifier at a height convenient for servicing.
