Nortec MES2 - Manual (Page 16)

13 | Installation
Location
Mount to structural member or on surface capable of supporting the humidifier’s operating
weight (see Figure 4: MES2 Dimensions and Weights). The humidifier may be set on its base but
clearance must be provided for the drain line to be sloped adequately. In general clearance is
not required around the humidifier except for maintenance access and electrical and plumbing
connections.
 The clearance dimensions shown are recommendations based on best practice. OEM must
verify operation if they are not followed.
 Install only in areas with ambient temperature 41-104°F (5–40°C) relative humidity 5 -
95%.
 When possible install below the steam distributor. If mounted above 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.
 The main service access required is for changing the cylinder. This access can be from the
front or right side. Right side service access is not possible with the optional plumbing
enclosure.
* Dimensions are recommendations based on best practice. OEM must verify operation if they are not followed.
Figure 9: Mounting Location / Clearance
Note: Nortec recommends a vertical drop from the drain outlet and an air gap as close
as possible to the drain outlet to insure proper draining of the humidifier.
