CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause injury. The electronics housing,
humidifier components, fan motor, and some electrical components are extremely hot during
unit operation. Allow sufficient time for them to cool to a touch-safe temperature before
working within the unit cabinet. Use extreme caution and wear appropriate, OSHA-approved
PPE when working on or near hot components.
NOTICE
Risk of improper power-supply connection. Cancause equipment damage and loss of warranty coverage.
Prior to connecting any equipment to a mainor alternate power source (for example: back-up generator
systems) for start-up, commissioning, testing, or normal operation, ensure that these sources are correctly
adjusted to the nameplate voltage and frequency of all equipment to be connected. Ingeneral, power-source
voltages should be stabilized and regulated to within±10%of the load nameplate nominal voltage. Also, ensure
that nothree-phase sources are single-phased at any time.
NOTE: Do not assume that the fan blades will not start to spin. If the motor is in a fault condition, it will
safely shut down. Once the fault condition is cleared, there are certain conditions in which the motor
will automatically resume operation.
