Mounting XTSB on top of humidifier
The condensate tee kit shipped with the XTSB returns condensate 
from a top-mounted XTSB to the humidifier's cylinder fill hose. See 
Figure 41-1. Install the kit as follows:
1.  If humidifier is not already mounted to wall, see “Wall 
mounting humidifier” on Page 10.
2.  Remove steam cylinder (see “Removing steam cylinder”on 
Page 10).
3.  Assemble condensate hose from kit to condensate outlet at base 
of steam box, and install both plastic ties (included) on hose to 
ensure secure connection to steam box condensate outlet.
4.  Assemble hose cuff and clamp to steam port on steam box.
5.  Remove knockout at left rear corner on top of humidifier 
cabinet.
6.  Feeding condensate hose into humidifier cabinet through knock- 
out hole created in Step 5, place XTSB on top of humidifier, and 
secure XTSB to humidifier with screws provided.
7.  Push small burr of tee into loose end of condensate hose that 
was fed into cabinet in Step 6.
8.  Cut midpoint of 5/8" fill hose that connects center port on fill 
cup to fill connection on floor of humidifier cabinet. Avoid 
kinks by leaving slack in fill hose for cylinder installation.
9.  Install tee in 5/8" fill hose that was cut in Step 8.
10.  Install steam cylinder (see “Installing steam cylinder” on Page 12).
Note: DRI-STEEM recommends securing top-mounted XTSB to the 
wall through mounting keyholes on back of XTSB.
Wiring top-mounted XTSB
1.  Connect humidifier terminals L1, L2, STM, C, and GRD to 
matching XTSB terminals L1, L2, STM, C, and GRD. If needed, 
refer to external connections diagram shipped with XTSB.
2.  Tighten all terminals securely.
