Product Usage Instructions

Calculating Gallons Per Day (GPD)

Before installing the GF5500 Steam Humidifier, you need to calculate the GPD required for your home. Follow the formula below:

• Total Square Footage (including Basement) x Average Ceiling Height = Number
• Number x Relative Humidity x 1.05 per Fireplace in Home = Humidity Load (PPH)
• Humidity Load x 2.88 (GPD conversion) = Desired Gallons Per Day

Testing Water Conductivity

Before installing the GF5500 Steam Humidifier, it is important to test the water conductivity using the AP-2 Conductivity Tester. Follow these steps:

1. Fill a glass with one cup of water from the steam humidifier water supply (Figure A).
2. Turn on the AP-2 tester and insert it into the glass of water (Figure B).
3. Correlate the results with GF5500 specifications to ensure compatibility.

Configuring the GF5500

To configure the GF5500 for Amps/Voltage, follow Section 4.4 in the Install Manual:

1. Visit our website (www.GeneralAireIAQ.ca) or refer to your physical copy of the GF550 Installation Manual.
2. Proceed to Section 4.4 (Page 20) titled “Initial Configuration If Necessary: Change Maximum Production”.
3. Follow Section 5.3 (Page 23) to complete the configuration.

Selecting the Proper Duct Mount Kit

Choose the appropriate Duct Mount Kit based on your power supply:

• RMB15 for 110V power supply
• RMB35 for 230V power supply
