Safety and Installation Instructions* 

 

. (

Throughout this document, the terms “Compustat”  and “humidifier control” 

are used interchangeably.) 

 

WARNING:  This product is for residential applications only, and must be installed by a qualified HVAC contractor. 
Failure to comply could invalidate the product warranty, or result in serious injury or electrocution.  
 
DANGER: 

•  Disconnect electrical power to the furnace before beginning installation. Contact with a live electrical wire can cause 

serious injury or electrocution.  

•  Use caution when cutting plenum openings and handling ductwork. Sharp edges can cause serious cuts and bleeding.  
 
CAUTION: 
•  Do not mount Compustat on the supply duct or plenum. The unit will not withstand supply temperatures.  
•  Do not mount Compustat downstream of the bypass outlet. Inaccurate humidity readings will cause the humidifier to 

operate incorrectly.  

•  When installing Compustat on downflow furnaces, make sure the blower continues to run after a heat call is satisfied, 

to prevent high temperatures from damaging the control.  

•  Do not set the humidity so high that condensation forms on windows or walls. Indoor condensation may result in 

damage to the home.  

*These instructions are for installation of the Skuttle Compustat humidifier control only. For installation of a 
Skuttle humidifier, refer to the instructions packaged with the humidifier.
