INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new humidier.
The Honeywell Humidier provides the comfort of humidied air, with easier maintenance than traditional
humidiers. We are sure the humidier will be a welcome addition to your home.
• How is the humidier different from other ow-through humidiers?
All Models:
- The humidier operates automatically, just like a thermostat, to keep your home’s humidity at the desired
level.
- The humidier is easier to maintain: just change the pad once a year. The pad is easily accessible and does
not require tools to change it.
- The humidier can deliver humidity when it’s needed, not just when the heat is on. This allows you to achieve
ideal humidity levels in your home year-round.
Advanced Models:
- The humidier wastes less water than other ow-through humidiers.
• How should I get started? Your humidier must be installed by an HVAC professional. If the humidier has
just been installed, it should either be running and humidifying your home, or waiting for a humidity call from
the humidity control.
Once the humidier is running, all you have to do is use the humidity control to change the humidity to your
desired comfort.
Welcome!
Please read this manual completely for tips on getting the most out of your humidier.
Read your humidity control manual and make sure you know how to operate your system.
If you have questions, now or later, please refer to this manual or ask your installer.
Humidier 69-2414EF—03 3

INTRODUCTION
1. A call for humidity comes from the humidity control
provided with the humidier. The humidity control
is connected to the humidier with wires.
2. The solenoid turns on, allowing water to run
through the humidier pad.
3. Air from your HVAC system ows through the pad,
picking up moisture from the humidier pad.
4. Your HVAC system fan delivers the humidied air
throughout your home.
5. When humidity in your home reaches the setpoint,
the humidity call ends and the solenoid turns off
the water owing across the pad.

YOUR NEW
HUMIDIFIER
The humidier is available in ve models with different sizes and/or features:
Some activities in your home may create longer operating times for the humidier. Vented replaces, high
exhaust from fans, or driers can reduce humidity in your home and make the humidier work harder.
Your professional installer or salesperson will have considered these and other factors when choosing the best
humidier model for your unique situation.

COVER OFF
Your humidier installation includes the following parts and components that you should be familiar with:
A. Water Connection with Shutoff Valve
Provides the connection from your home water
supply to the humidier. Your installer may
have used the saddle valve that came with the
humidier, or may have chosen a different type
of connection. This connection must include a
shutoff valve for you to turn off water supply to the
humidier, if necessary.
B. Water Supply Line
This 1/4-inch line brings water to the humidier
from the water connection. Your installer may have
used plastic or copper supply line.
C. Water Drain Line
This 1/2-inch hose drains water from the humidier
to a drain in your home.
D. LEDs (HE150/HE250/HE300 only)
The three lights indicate the humidier’s
operational status and when service is required.
See “Humidier lights and button” on page 10.
E. RESET Button (HE150/HE250/HE300 only)
The RESET button is the only user button located
on the humidier. Use the RESET button to
manually reset the humidier when the Change
Pad or Service LEDs are on. See “Humidier lights
and button” on page 10.
Power
The Fan model is plugged into a 120 volt AC
household electrical outlet. Unplug the power cord
to turn off power.
The Bypass models are wired to a 15VA
transformer. To turn off power to these models, trip
the circuit to the junction box the transformer is
connected to.

YOUR NEW
HUMIDIFIER
Honeywell wants to make sure you know what to expect from your humidier. Feel free to discuss these items
with your installer:
• Achieving Humidity Setpoint. It may take up to a week of continuous operation to achieve the humidity
setpoint, especially if the home is dry when the humidier is installed. This also depends on such factors as
weather, size of home, furnishings in the home, and insulation.
• Ideal Humidity. Home building industry experts cite 35% relative humidity as ideal for comfort and
safeguarding the home during the typical dry season. Adjust your humidity control to your comfort or until
there is condensation on the windows. Lower the setpoint if condensation appears.
• Unit Not Humidifying. If the humidier is not running but the humidity is below the setpoint, the humidity
control may have a frost protection setting to prevent window condensation from appearing. See “What is a
frost setting?” on the next page.
• Home Ventilation. Excessive ventilation sends moist air outside and replaces it with dry air. If the home is
drafty or has mechanical ventilators installed, it may be hard to maintain the humidity setpoint. If installing a
ventilator, use a solution that retains moisture. An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is recommended.
• Cleaning Requirements. At least once per year it is recommended to change the humidier pad and clean
the water trays of the humidier. See Cleaning and Maintenance section for details.
• Energy Consumption. You may notice a slight increase in overall energy consumption when operating any
humidier. However, humidied air feels warmer than dry air. This allows you to lower the temperature setting
on the thermostat. Every degree lower on the thermostat can save up to 3% on heating costs.
What should I expect from my humidier?
Humidier 69-2414EF—03

EVERYDAY
OPERATION
Once the humidier is installed and running, operation is automatic. Use the humidity control provided to make
any changes to the setpoint.
If you have questions about how to operate the humidier, ask your installer.
How do I operate the humidier?
• What is a frost setting? Some humidity controls (such as Prestige, VisionPRO IAQ, and TrueIAQ) contain
a Window Frost Protection feature that limits humidity output based on outdoor conditions. For example,
on colder days, the air in your home can hold less humidity. The humidity control automatically lowers the
humidity setpoint accordingly, to prevent frost from appearing on the inside of your windows.
Lower the frost setting by one value each morning that you see frost or condensation on windows. Allow 24
hours for the new setting to take effect before re-adjusting. Once you have this set to a comfortable level
without condensation, you will not need to adjust further. You can adjust your humidity setpoint without
worrying about condensation.
Manual humidity controls (such as the H8908) do not have built-in frost settings. They require you to adjust
the humidity setpoint when the outdoor temperature changes. Use higher humidity setpoints when the
temperature is warmer, and lower setpoints when the temperature is cooler.
M27982
• How do I use the humidity control? When humidity in
the home is lower than the humidity control’s setpoint,
the control will call for humidity. Some controls will also
monitor outdoor conditions to ensure indoor humidity
does not condense on windows and walls.
• What should my humidity setpoint be? The outdoor
air temperature affects how much humidity can be
retained by the air in your home. Use this table as a
starting point. Then adjust the humidity control to your
own comfort or until condensation appears on the
windows, at which point you should lower the setpoint.
Outdoor Recommended Relative
Temperature Humidity Setting
-20°F (-29°C) 15%
-10°F (-2-3°C) 20%
0°F (-18°C) 25%
