HUMIDIFIER CONTROL & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The control provided with your humidifier is mounted either in your return air duct or on a wall in the living space.. The control has a set of contacts which close when the RH is below the set point.. That signal tells the humidifier to energize the electrodes in the canister to generate steam, provided the indoor unit blower is on.. If the blower activation relay is installed, a call for humidity will turn on the indoor unit blower..

It is important to anticipate changes in outdoor temperature and adjust the setting accordingly to avoid excessive condensation when outdoor temperature is low.. For example, with an outdoor temperature of 20°F the correct setting will be 35%.. If the temperature is expected to fall to 0°F that evening, then merely reduce the setting to 25% several hours prior to the temperature change..

See Table 2 for the recommended settings.. These settings, which are based on years of research, represent a compromise between humidity levels that would be most desirable for comfort and humidity levels that are suitable for protection of your home and to avoid condensation on your windows.. For example, a wintertime indoor humidity of 50% may be considered ideal for comfort, but unfortunately, it probably would result in condensation, which can cause damage to your home.. Observing the recommended humidity levels on your Humidifier Control is an important safeguard.. Condensation of water on the inside surface of windows in the form of fogging or frost is usually an indication of too much humidity.. This same condensation can occur in other areas in your home, possibly resulting in damage..
