GeneralAire Remote Wall Blower - Manual (Page 4)

When a demand for humidity is made, the Elite Steam Humidifier will start. The control module will recognize
the demand for steam and supply power to the RMB and the Steam Cylinder. The RMB Blower will run and
distribute the steam into the room. The RMB grill is designed to blow steam outward and slightly down to avoid
condensation on the ceiling. A cleanable filter is located behind the grill to protect the RMB from large particles.
When the demand for humidification ends, power to the steam cylinder is stopped. The blower continues to run
for 30 seconds to distribute any remaining steam.
Choose a location that will be near the Elite Steam humidifier. Try to keep the length of the steam
hose to a minimum. The RMB must be mounted above the Elite Steam humidifier. The RMB will
create condensate that must drain back to the humidifier by gravity.
NOTES:
1. The RMB must be in the wall, and connected to the humidifier by the steam hose supplied.
2. The RMB must be mounted a least 12 inches above the humidifier.
3. Pockets and traps in the hoses must be avoided. Condensate will accumulate in low areas
and prevent steam movement. The steam hose must not have sharp bends or twists.
4. The dimensions in Fig 3.1 and 3.2 are minimum distances to prevent the humidified air
from coming in contact with people, electrical equipment, ceilings and cold surfaces before
the steam has been completely absorbed. Choose the location with care as the steam is hot
and can cause burns.

Remote Wall Blowers are designed to distribute steam directly into the living space needing addi-
tional humidity. They are for use only with DS35, DS25, DS15P, and DS15 Elite Steam electrode
humidifiers. The remote wall blowers operate at different voltages
RMB35 230VAC ~1 for use with DS35 and DS25.
RMB15 110VAC ~1 for use with DS15P and DS15.
Remote wall blowers may only be installed in a vertical wall distributing steam horizontally.
