Electrical noise can produce undesirable effects on
the electronic control circuits that can affect controllabil-
ity. Electrical noise is generated by electrical equipment,
such as resistive loads, electric motors, solenoid coils,
welding machinery, fluorescent light circuits, etc. The
electrical noise or interference generated from these
sources (and the effects on controllers) is very difficult
to define, but most common symptoms are erratic
operation or intermittent problems.
However, most noise problems can be prevented by
using wiring practices and techniques which prevent
coupling or inducing of electrical interference into
control circuits. Some simple wiring practices associ-
ated 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 the line voltage
wiring from low voltage control circuit wiring.
• Use separate electrical conduits or cable
trays for line and low voltage control wiring
from the humidifier to humidity sensors,
airflow switches, etc.

PROPER WIRING PROCEDURES
• Do not use chassis or safety grounds as
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 1.0 mm

rated wire cable of twisted pair type, includ-
ing cable shielding and drain wire for ground-
ing.
• All grounding of shielded cable connections
should be returned to the control cabinet
and tied to the protective earthing bar. Do
not ground shield at the device end.
• IMPORTANT: Locate the control cabinet
so that wire lengths are 15 metres or less
to the humidifier.
• Probe and low water cut off wiring must be
individual 1.0 mm
