PROPER WIRING PROCEDURES
Electrical "noise" is generated by electrical equipment,
such as switching loads, electric motors, solenoid coils,
welding machinery, fluorescent light circuits, etc. These
stray electrical currents can produce undesirable effects in
the electronic control circuits that eventually can affect
controllability. The electrical "noise" or interference
generated from these sources (and the effects on control-
lers) is very difficult to define, but most common symp-
toms are erratic operation or intermittent problems.
Most noise problems can be prevented by using wiring
practices and techniques which do not allow coupling or
inducing of electrical interference into control circuits.
These simple wiring practices associated with
DRI-STEEM humidifier equipment should minimize
interaction of noise and controls:
• Humidifier and control cabinets must be
connected to a code approved earth ground.
• When routing electrical wiring inside the control
cabinet, separate line voltage wiring from low
voltage control circuit wiring.
• Use separate electrical conduits for line and
low voltage wiring from the humidifier to
humidity sensors, airflow switches, etc.
• Do not mix chassis or safety grounds with
current carrying commons. No safety grounds
should ever be used as a conductor or neutral
to return circuit current.
• The preferred method of external electrical
connections to humidistats, room/duct
humidity and temperature transmitters, and
control signal input connections from building
control systems is minimum #18 gauge plenum
rated wire cable of twisted pair type, BELDEN
#88760, including cable shielding and drain wire
for grounding.
• All grounding of shielded cable connections
should be returned to the control cabinet
and tied to the earth ground point. Do not
ground shield at the device end.
NOTE: Do not use shielded cable for probe wiring.
Individual #18 gauge stranded is recommended.
