By the way, here's a link to all the Aprilaire manuals. Evidently they believe that the typical customer visiting their site isn't smart enough to have these :( https://www.aprilairepartners.com/products/humidifiers/technical-information

Controller is actually my system thermostat (Lennox S40). It measures humidity and outdoor temperature and automatically adjusts the humidity setpoint as needed to prevent condensation on windows. Interface from heat pump system to humidifier is 24VAC humidify output from air handler driving...

Maybe I missed it in the thread, but looks like there's plenty of room for steam on the return. I just installed an 800 on my heat pump. High on the return about 3' before the filter. Love it. My research indicated that I would be very disappointed with performance of an evaporative unit on a...

No, receptacle on the right looks to be 6-20R. Bottom round hole is ground, not neutral.

It came with the short cord / plug already wired. Although I can't say if put there by Mohawk or the installer.

Lift control side is 1/2" EMT. Eight 12AWG THHN conductors. 2 hot + neutral for 120/240V lift receptacle. 2x hot + neutral for each of the 120V receptacle circuits. 1 ground. Opposite side is 3/4" EMT. (2) 12 for 120V 20A receptacles, (3) 10 for 120/240V 30A, (2) 6 for 240V 50A, (1) 10 for ground.

Yes. 4 conductor because it covers the 3-phase case. I expect single phase residential power is the oddball in their product line.

Thanks. It's all run in conduit under the slab and up alongside the posts. I planned the build specifically for this lift. Hydraulic lines are also run under the slab. Yes, double pole 20A for the lift. I pulled a neutral as well. This would be equivalent to 12/3 (2 hots, neutral, ground). That...

What size are each of the panels? 7' door is typically (4) 21" panels. Sounds like they have a single 18" panel in there to get 6'9". If opening / original door is 7' then they screwed up on the initial measurement. At minimum, you should point this out and insist on a correctly sized door.

Here's how I wired mine. "Emergency disconnect" is an L14-20 plug right near the button. I may eventually get around to a proper E-stop, but I'm comfortable with this for now.

Ground temperature at 6' deep generally stabilizes around the average annual air temperature for the location. Depends on exact location, but I expect typical "Northern BC" averages < 40degF. If you're keeping air temp at 60F, then slab is probably 70F or more. Point is, the ground is still a...

No need for a power supply. The switch / dimmer provides the 0-10V signal.

That specific Fluke makes noise along with any number of other plug-in testers. You suggested making your own plug in tester. Why not just buy the right tool for <$20?

Assuming standard 120V 15A or 20A receptacle, why not just get a plug in tester? For example, https://www.fluke.com/en-us/product/electrical-testing/basic-testers/fluke-st120-plus

No, I've never considered doing this. Shouldn't be necessary. Wago documentation clearly shows installation of bare copper stranded wire. I expect the Wagos may actually get better connection on stranded over solid. I suppose stranded could be an installation issue with cheap push connectors...
