On / Off Digital Wall & Duct Humidistat Installation Instructions
This document covers the operation and installation instructions for the following Condair Duct Humidistat:
Part #: Description:
2520273* On/Off Digital Duct Humidistat Pkg.
Note: Part #2520273 is comprised of two parts:
2520265 Humidistat w/o sensor
1509857 Duct Sensor
2520273 – On/Off Digital Duct Humidistat Installation
Note:
The duct sensor (Part # 2520265) must be wired to the humidistat w/o sensor (Part # 1509857).
Part # 2520265 – Duct Humidistat Package Installation
Location
1. The duct sensor should be installed directly on the duct in an area where the air is well mixed with uniform flow.
2. The supply air sensor should be mounted downstream of the steam distributor at a distance 1.5 times the absorption distance (typically
10-12 feet or 3-3.7m).
3. If a return air humidity sensor is used it should be mounted close to the air inlet but downstream from a return fan if one is present.
Installation
1. Open the housing by removing the 4 screws securing the housing together.
2. Push the probe through the center hole and tighten the 2 mounting screws.
3. Drill a 1/2” (13mm) hole in the duct and insert the probe into the air stream.
4. Secure the sensor to the duct using 2 sheet-metal screws.
5. Connect the signal wires to the sensor terminal strip. Table 1 outlines the terminal layout of the digital humidistat.
6. Connect the plug from the temperature probe to the PCB board into the plug marked ‘PROBE’.
7. Close the cover and secure using the 4 Screws removed in step 1.

5. Buttons for operating the humidistat:
POWER button: No function.
UP/DOWN buttons: Adjusts calibration value.
OPTION button: Used for accessing the sensor calibration routine.
Optional Outdoor Temperature Reset Function
1. Order Outdoor Temperature Sensor Separately, Part # 2520263
2. Each humidistat is equipped with an integrated reset function that will lower the setpoint during cold weather operation. This will prevent
condensation on windows and building structures. The diagram below illustrates how the setpoint reset feature operates.
3. When the outdoor temperature setback feature is in effect, the humidistat will normally display the calculated setpoint limit based on the
outdoor air temperature. A snowflake will also be displayed to indicate cold weather operation. When any key on the controller is pressed
the LCD screen will display the customer specified setpoint for a short duration.
4. This feature is enabled by removing the jumper from terminals 8 and 1 on the humidistat, and wiring the outdoor temperature sensor to
these terminals.
Sensor Calibration
1. The humidity sensor is factory calibrated, however, it can be field recalibrated. The calibration routine can be accessed by pressing and
holding down the option button for five seconds. A new screen will appear with the calibration adjustments.
2. Press the up or down buttons until the text calH appears on the LCD screen. To adjust the calibration, press the Option button. The screen
should load to display the current calibration trim. The calibration trim can be adjusted by pressing the up or down buttons to the desired
level and then pressing the option button to confirm the settings. Press the Power button to return to the normal display.

Cause
Symptoms
Corrective Action
ALA5
The controller will initiate
this alarm if the humidity
sensor reports a relative
humidity below 6%.
The LCD screen will report
the message ALA5. The
controller will negate output
until a relative humidity
above 6% is report to the
controller from the sensor.
Normal operation resumes once the sensed humidity is
above 6% RH. The message will remain on the LCD screen
until removed by pressing the option button on the control
panel. If this error persists verify that the wiring is correct.
Also verify that the sensor is mounted in an area that
accurately represents the controlled humidity level.
ALA6
The controller will initiate
this alarm if the humidity
sensor reports a relative
humidity above 95%.
The LCD screen will report
the message ALA6. The
controller will negate output
until a relative humidity
below 95% is report to the
controller from the sensor.
Normal operation resumes once the sensed humidity is
below 95% RH. The message will remain on the LCD screen
until removed by pressing the option button on the control
panel. If this error persists verify that the wiring is correct.
Also verify that the sensor is mounted in an area that
accurately represents the controlled humidity level.
