Mounting the Humidistat
(Freestanding humidifier only, Part# 99H0185-00)
NOTE: Each Wine Guardian Freestanding humidifier comes with a
humidistat and humidistat cable pre-wired to unit.
1) Mount the humidistat on a solid surface away from doors, corners, air outlets or other drafty
or heat generating equipment. Do not mount directly on an outside wall or wall adjacent to a
boiler room.
2) Use a piece of foam insulation behind the humidistat to insulate it from the hot or cold
surface. The recommended height is 4 feet to 5 feet above the floor. The humidistat is often
located next to the thermostat.
THE HUMIDISTAT IS USED IN A BROAD RANGE OF APPLICATIONS AND THE
MANUFACTURER’S LITERATURE CONTAINS INFORMATION THAT MAY NOT BE SPECIFIC TO
YOUR WINE CELLAR APPLICATION. REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS
CONTAINED IN THE BOX WITH THE HUMIDISTAT. WE RECOMMEND YOU FOLLOW WINE
GUARDIAN’S HUMIDISTAT INSTRUCTIONS AND SIMPLY RETAIN THE HUMIDIFSTAT
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS IN A FOLDER ALONG WITH THE WINE GUARDIAN
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
3) Disregard the wiring diagrams shown within the manufacturer’s instructions. Refer to the
wiring diagram shown in this guide on page 8. The remote outdoor sensor is not required for
wine cellar applications and should not be programmed for use.
4) Set the humidistat at the desired humidity, recommended between 55% and 60%, which is
adequate to prevent drying out of corks. Over-humidifying can cause mold growth and
sweating on surfaces and loosening of labels on bottles.
NOTE: The humidifier can only add moisture, not remove it. Removal, or
dehumidification, is a function of the cooling system as it lowers the temperature of
the air across the cooling coil. The humidistat will only control the addition of
moisture
