TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE

Check the condition of the Water Panel and replace it if mineral deposits are blocking air flow. Follow the instructions on the Water Panel box. Rotate the knob to the “Test/Reset” position for at least 5 seconds to reset Water Panel change timer. Check that the timer setting is correct for the humidifier model and water conditions (see Figure B). DO NOT LEAVE THE HUMIDIFIER CONTROL IN “TEST/RESET” MODE AS THE HUMIDIFIER WILL NOT OPERATE.

SYMPTOM

Humidifier operates only in “Test/Reset” mode.

•If outdoor temperature is greater than 60°F or less than -30°F, the Humidifier Control will only operate in the “Test/Reset” mode (for 1 minute).

•If the humidity level in the home is higher than the Humidifier Control knob setting, the Humidifier Control will not operate the humidifier.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE

•Measure the resistance of the Outdoor Temperature Sensor by removing the leads from the Humidifier Control terminals and measuring the resistance across the wires with an ohmmeter. Confirm the reading with the temperature in Table 1. Reconnect the ODT Sensor leads. If the resistance value does not match the temperature value, replace the Outdoor Temperature Sensor.

•Make sure that the Outdoor Temperature Sensor is mounted completely outside the house on the North, East or West side of the house and out of direct sunlight. (Automatic Mode Only)

•Make sure that the Outdoor Temperature Sensor is located at least 3 feet away from all exhaust vents. (Automatic Mode Only)

•If Outdoor Temperature Sensor is mounted in the fresh air intake duct, make sure that the sensor is no more than 3 feet from the outside wall. (Automatic Mode Only)
