Proper wiring prevents electrical noise
Electrical noise can produce undesirable effects on
electronic control circuits, thereby affecting
controllability. Electrical noise is generated by
electrical equipment, such as inductive loads, electric
motors, solenoid coils, welding machinery, or
fluorescent light circuits. The electrical noise or
interference generated from these sources (and the
effect on controllers) is very difficult to define, but
the most common symptoms are erratic operation or
intermittent operational problems.
Most noise problems can be prevented by using
proper wiring practices and techniques to prevent
coupling or inducing of electrical interference into
control circuits. The following simple wiring
practices should minimize interaction of noise and
controls:
Connect humidifier and control cabinets to a
code-approved earth ground.
Separate the line voltage wiring from low
voltage control circuit wiring when routing
electrical wiring inside the control cabinet.
Use separate electrical conduits for line and low
voltage control wiring from the humidifier to
humidity sensors, airflow switches, etc.

CAUTION: When making holes and
knockouts in the control cabinet, protect
all internal components from debris, and
vacuum out cabinet when finished.
Failure to comply with this warning may
damage sensitive electronic components
and void the DRI-STEEM warranty.
