Manual Humidifier Control
Figure C – Manual Humidifier Control
Your Aprilaire humidifieris controlled by a Manual Humidifier Control (see Figure C). The Manual Humidifier Control is installed either in the cold air return duct or on an interior wall of the home. With the Manual HumidifierControl, it is important to anticipate a drop in outdoor temperature and reduce the setting accordingly to avoid excessive condensation, just as with the Digital HumidifierControl installed in Manual Mode (see page 5).
To determine the indoor RH, slowly turn the knob clockwise and counterclockwise and listen for 2 clicks. The indoor RH is within the range of the 2 clicks.
Check the Humidifier Operation
DIGITAL HUMIDIFIER CONTROL
Set the knob to “Test/Reset”, make sure that the water saddle valve is open and that there is electricity to the humidifier. The HVAC fan must be running for the humidifier to function. NOTE: Turning the knob to “Test/Reset” resets the “Change Water Panel” timer. The humidifier will only operate for 1 minute in test mode. (Model 400 and 400M: Floats must be down for the solenoid valve to allow water flow.) Reduce the Humidifier Control setting to the recommended inside humidity, depending on the outside temperature. DO NOT LEAVE IN TEST MODE
AS HUMIDIFIER WILL NOT OPERATE.
MANUAL HUMIDIFIER CONTROL
Set the knob to the highest setting, make sure that the water saddle valve is open and that there is electricity to the humidifier. The HVAC system must be operating for the humidifier to function.
