Aprilaire 1150 - Manual (Page 28)

Water Supply
• Turn water supply on; confirm drain valve is closed.
Power
• Turn the supply power on.
– Verify that the On/Off indicator light illuminates along with the Fill indicator light.
– Verify that the fill valve opens and adds water until the humidifier chamber is full, at which time the fill valve closes and the
Fill indicator light turns off.
– Verify that there are no leaks from the humidifier.
Create Water Seal
• Unplug the probe plug from the probe assembly (located on the chamber cover;
see Figure 24) to allow the fill valve to energize and overfill the chamber. This
ensures that the water seal (P-trap) is filled with water. When water is seen
coming from the drain line, plug the probe plug back into the probe assembly.
Initiate Fan Call
• Set up a fan call at the thermostat. If the humidifier is configured to bring on
the equipment fan with a humidity demand, skip to next step.
Initiate Humidity Demand
• For the default Model 1150 and 1160 controls, whether in Automatic or Manual Mode, rotate control knob of the Automatic
Steam Humidifier Control clockwise to the ‘Test’ position.
– Verify that the steam indicator light illuminates and energizes the heaters. In the ‘Test’ position, the humidity demand will
last for 1 minute only.
NOTE: Do not leave the Automatic Steam Humidifier Control in the ‘Test’ position. Refer to the Installation and Operation Manual
for the Automatic Steam Humidifier Control for more details.
