THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ARE FOR THE APRILAIRE®AUTOMATIC DIGITAL
HUMIDIFIER CONTROL ONLY!
For Aprilaire®humidifier installation,
follow Aprilaire Humidifier Installation Instructions.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage can cause serious injury
from electric s ock.
Disconnect electrical power to t e furnace and
umidifier before starting installation.
Sharp edges can cut.
Wear gloves and use care w en cutting plenum
openings and andling ductwork.
CAUTION
Condensation damage may occur.
Do not set umidifier control ig er t an
recommended.
Lower t e umidity setting if t ere is excess
condensation on t e inside of any windows in
un eated living spaces.
Install according to t e enclosed installation
instructions.
Controller damage or malfunction may occur
if installation instructions are not followed.
Install umidifier control on return plenum only.
Install umidifier control upstream of t e bypass
outlet or steam dispersion tube.
Do not install umidifier control facing downward.

STEP 4: Blower Activation Feature Explanation
S t th Blow r Activation switch to “ON”, s Figure J, to allow
th Humidifi r Control to activat th furnac fan for additional
humidification. This may b r quir d if th humidifi r is mount d
on a h at pump or a furnac with short run cycl s. Wh n using
th Blow r Activation f atur , Mod l 400, 500, 600 and 700
s ri s humidif rs must b plumb d to hot wat r for ff ctiv
op ration.
Wh n th Blow r Activation switch is “ON”, th Humidifi r
Control will turn on th HVAC blow r wh n humidity is r quir d.
In th “OFF” position, th humidifi r will only op rat if humidity
is r quir d and th HVAC syst m is op rating.
Wh n th Blow r Activation switch is “ON”, th Humidifi r
Control may xt nd th HVAC blow r aft r a h at call for up to
two hours. If th HVAC syst m has b n idl for on hour, th
control will turn th blow r on for thr minut s to sampl
hous hold air to d t rmin if humidity is n d d.
NOTE: If us d in conjunction with an Aprilair 8570
Communicating Th rmostat, and th blow r activation f atur is
d sir d, DO NOT wir th A B communication t rminals.
Th Mod l 62 shipp d with th Mod l 800 St am Humidifi r is
factory s t to “OFF”. Th Mod l 62 do s not hav th “Chang

for th Mod l 800 is on th humidifi r. STEP 1: Mount the Humidifier Control
Humidifi r Control must b mount d on th R turn Duct, at l ast
6 inch s upstr am of th following (s Figure D):
• Humidifi r
• Humidifi r Bypass Ductwork (if applicabl )
• Fr sh Air Intak Ductwork (if applicabl )
For accurat humidity control, mount th Humidifi r Control at
l ast 12 inch s upstr am of th St am Humidifi r disp rsion tub .
Ambi nt op rating t mp ratur of th Humidifi r Control is to b

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
• Ch ck wiring diagrams for corr ct Humidifi r Control
installation.
1. For Mod l 700 S ri s Humidifi rs with gray color
housings nsur that wiring diagram in Figure K is us d.
2. For Mod l 700 S ri s Humidifi rs with almond color
housings nsur that wiring diagram in Figure L is us d.
• Mak sur that th blow r is op rating and th HVAC

th floats.
• Ch ck voltag at th Humidifi r Control “R” and “C”
t rminals. Voltag should b 22 VAC minimum to 30 VAC
maximum.
• Mak sur that th saddl valv is op n.
• In “T st/R s t mod , th humidifi r will op rat for 1
minut only. DO NOT LEAVE THE HUMIDIFIER CONTROL IN
“TEST/RESET” MODE AS THE HUMIDIFIER WILL NOT
OPERATE.
SYMPTOM

SYMPTOM
Humidifi r op rat s only in “T st/R s t” mod .
• If outdoor t mp ratur is gr at r than 60°F or l ss than
-30°F, th Humidifi r Control will only op rat in th
“T st/R s t” mod (for 1 minut ).
• If th humidity l v l in th hom is high r than th
Humidifi r Control knob s tting, th Humidifi r Control will
not op rat th humidifi r.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
• M asur th r sistanc of th Outdoor T mp ratur S nsor
by r moving th l ads from th Humidifi r Control t rminals
and m asuring th r sistanc across th wir s with an
ohmm t r. Confirm th r ading with th t mp ratur in
Table 1. R conn ct th ODT S nsor l ads. If th r sistanc
valu do s not match th t mp ratur valu , r plac th
Outdoor T mp ratur S nsor.
• Mak sur that th Outdoor T mp ratur S nsor is mount d
compl t ly outsid th hous on th North, East or W st
sid of th hous and out of dir ct sunlight. (Automatic
Mod Only)
• Mak sur that th Outdoor T mp ratur S nsor is locat d
at l ast 3 f t away from all xhaust v nts. (Automatic
Mod Only)
• If Outdoor T mp ratur S nsor is mount d in th fr sh air
intak duct, mak sur that th s nsor is no mor than 3
f t from th outsid wall. (Automatic Mod Only)
• Mak sur th R and C t rminals ar wir d p r nclos d
wiring diagrams.
• If control s tting was chang d from Automatic to Manual,
pow r to th control must b disconn ct d, th n r stor d.
SYMPTOM
Humidifi r op rat s constantly.
• If th humidity l v l in th hom is l ss than th Humidifi r
Control knob s tting and th r is a continuous fan call or
h at call (d p nding on s tup), th Humidifi r Control will
op rat th humidifi r until th humidity l v l is high r than
th Humidifi r Control knob s tting.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
