Hello Jerry,

Sorry for the slow reply.  We are going to try a junction box on the =
inside of the piano.

There is not a current limiting device on the Humidistat.  In this way =
it is similar to a computer and would require a surge suppressor.

Thanks,

Roger

  Roger,

  Assuming the fire marshal's issue is not with the lack of 3 wire power =
connectors, perhaps he is concerned with protection from a short circuit =
within one of the heaters or wiring. An outlet strip would have its own =
fuse or circuit breaker.

  =20

  If this is true, why not use a 3 wire outlet strip, together with a 3 =
to 2 prong adapter which plugs into the humidistat?

  =20

  BTW, doesn't the humidistat already have its own current limiting =
device for protection?

  Hello list,

  =20

  I have a music department who is "under attack" from the school's fire =
department related to our product in a number of pianos.  The bottom =
line is that the fire marshal has requested that multiple dehumidifiers =
connect to the Humidistat via a "power strip", rather than a series of =
Add-An-Outlets or a three way adaptor.  I thought this would be easy but =
my search and that of our purchasing agent have only turned up power =
strips with a grounded plug.  Our Humidistat won't accept the ground =
pin.  Has anyone ran into this before and found a solution?  Any help =
would be greatly appreciated.

  =20

  Thanks,

  =20

  Roger
