Humidity Control
APPLICATION
The humidity control provides automatic low voltage
control of humidifiers in central heating and cooling
equipment for both humidification and dehumidification
applications. See Fig. 1. It has an spst, snap-acting,
dust-proof switch that opens when humidity rises above
the control setting. It is designed for wall or surface duct
mounting.
INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a haz-
ardous condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on
the product to make sure the product is suitable
for your application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard.
Power supply can cause electrical shock.
Disconnect power supply before beginning
installation.
Location and Mounting
A mounting template is included for mounting the
humidity control next to your thermostat. See Fig. 2.
However, the humidity control can be mounted in any
other convenient location in the living area or equipment
room.
NOTE: The humidity control electrical connections are
not shared with the thermostat.
Fig. 1. Humidity control.
Wall Mounting
IMPORTANT
Mount the control in an area with average
room temperature and average relative
humidity.
Select a location for mounting the humidity control:
1. Hold the mounting template (included) next to
your thermostat. Select the mounting side for the
humidity control. The template is reversible for
mounting on either the left or right side of the
humidity control. See Fig. 2.
2. Mark the holes for the two mounting screws
(included). Then mark the hole for the low voltage
wiring on the template that corresponds with the
side selected in step 1.
3. Remove the template and drill the holes.
4. Run low voltage wiring to the location and pull
about 6 in. (152 mm) of wire through the hole.
5. Plug hole with nonflammable insulation to prevent
drafts from affecting the control operation.
6. Remove the humidity control case from the base.
See Fig. 1.
7. Position the base on the wall with the arrow up.
8. Use the two in. (25 mm) mounting screws to
secure the base to the wall.

IMPORTANT
Use 18- to 22-gauge wire for proper wiring.
9. Connect the low voltage wires to the leads on the
humidity control.
10. Replace the humidity control case.
Duct Mounting
IMPORTANT
When mounting near an elbow area, locate the
control 6 in. (152 mm) upstream from the
elbow so the element is exposed to the normal
airflow (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3. Selecting duct location for control.
1. Locate the control at least 8 in. (203 mm)
upstream from the humidifier in the return air duct.
See Fig. 3.
2. Apply the duct template to the duct location.
3. Use the duct template, Fig. 4, to make the
opening and mounting holes for the humidity
control.
4. Remove the humidity control case from the base.
See Fig. 1.
5. Position the foam gasket on the humidity control
base.
6. Position the base on the duct with the arrow up.
7. Use the four 1 in. (25 mm) mounting screws to
secure the base to the duct.
8. Connect the low voltage wires to the leads on the
humidity control.
9. Replace the humidity control case.
IMPORTANT
Use 18- to 22-gauge wire for correct wiring.

CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard.
Power supply can cause electrical shock and
injury.
Disconnect power supply before installation or
servicing.
All wiring must comply with applicable local codes, ordi-
nances and regulations. Make wiring connections
according to humidifier instructions, if available; other-
wise, see typical wiring diagrams in Fig. 5 through 9.
IMPORTANT
Select models of fan centers include humidifier
taps so the current sensing relay or sail switch
is not needed.
If not using a current sensing relay or sail
switch, the humidifier must be energized
during blower motor cycles for correct
operation.
On multispeed blower applications, do not wire
the high voltage side of the transformer to the
same power source that services the furnace
blower. Premature transformer burnout can
occur.

HEATING CYCLE HUMIDITY
CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS
Humidity Control Adjustment
To maintain optimum humidity control without causing
condensation on cold surfaces such as windows, the
homeowner must adjust the setpoint as the outdoor
temperature changes.
To reduce relative humidity, reduce the setpoint
approximately 3% RH humidity every 24 hours. To
increase relative humidity, increase the setpoint
approximately 3% RH every 24 hours.
Setpoint Adjustment
Set the humidity setpoint according to the prevailing
outdoor temperature. See Table 1 for recommended
settings.
Table 1. Recommended Humidity Control Setting.

CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard.
Power supply can cause electrical shock and
injury.
Disconnect power supply before installation or

All wiring must comply with applicable local codes, ordi-
nances and regulations. Make wiring connections
according to humidifier instructions, if available; other-
wise, see typical wiring diagrams in Fig. 10 and 11.
COOLING CYCLE HUMIDITY
CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS
It is desirable to maintain the humidity in the living
space at the humidification comfort range of 25 to 50
percent relative humidity.
To reduce the relative humidity, position the arrow on
the humidity control to the humidity control setting:
40 setting controls to 40+/-10% RH.
50 setting controls to 50+/-10% RH.
When activated, the humidity control lowers the
furnace/air handler blower speed, reducing air velocity
over the furnace/air handler coil and removing a geater
amount of moisture from the air.
