ACTIVE HUMIDITY OPTION OVERVIEW
Use of the Active Humidity Option
Humidity may uctuate in the wine cellar. The Active Humidity Option stabilizes the environment by adding moisture when
the humidity levels drop below your desired level. Using a humidistat and a water source, the Active Humidity Option is able to
regulate and establish a humid environment suitable for wine storage.
Note: The ideal humidity of a wine cellar is between 50-70%.
Accessory Included with Active Humidity Option:
(1) 25 ft. Humidistat Cable
(1) Dayton Humidistat
General Active Humidity Option Recommendations
• Water source needs to have at least 40 psi.
• Water tubing size: 1/4” O.D.
• Water source should be tested for content and characteristics.
• In areas that are known to have hard water, the use of a water softener system is required.
Note: Failure to install a water softener or a ltration system will allow an
excessive particle residue buildup and may lead to system failure.
• Even if the area is not known to have hard water, the use of a ltration system (particle lter) is required.
• Clean the evaporator coil every 3 months to remove particle residue buildup.
• It might be best to use a self-piercing saddle valve as a simple connection to a water source.
• Clean or replace the Misting Nozzle every 12 months.
Water Flow Order
• The water supply should pass through either
a water softener or a Filtration system before
reaching the unit as shown in Figure 2.
• Route a 1/4” Copper, Pex, or equivalent tubing
from the water source and connect to the water
inlet tting on the unit as shown in Figure 3.
• Turn on the water and check for leaks.
Self-Piercing Saddle Valve
Install a Self-Piercing Saddle Valve to a nearby water supply for
simple connection to a water source as shown in Figure 1.
Do not allow water leakage inside of the Unit.
