STEP 8: Route the Wire from Control to Sensor

Run wire to the outdoor temperature sensor. Sensor is not affected by lead lengths less than 300 feet.

CAUTION

Do not run outdoor temperature sensor alongside wires carrying high voltage (120 VAC or higher).

Secure the sensor bracket with a #8 screw.

STEP 9: Attach Sensor Wire to Humidifier Control

Strip wire 1/4 inch, and insert the wires from the Sensor into the terminals labeled “ODT” on the Humidifier Control. See Figure H for location of terminals.

BLOWER ACTIVATION

Set the Blower Activation Switch to “ON” to allow the Humidifier Control to activatethe furnacefan for additionalhumidification. This may be requiredif the humidifieris mountedon a heat pump or a furnace with short run cycles.

When the Blower Activation switch is “ON”, the Humidifier Control will turn on the HVAC blower when humidity is required. In the “OFF” position, the humidifier will only operate if humidity is required and the HVAC system is operating.

When the Blower Activation switch is “ON”, the Humidifier Control may periodically turn the HVAC blower on to sample the humidity of the air.

Installing the Humidifier Control for Manual Operation

If it is not feasible to install the Outdoor Temperature Sensor, the Humidifier Control can be operated in Manual Mode.

1.Position the Mode Switch in the “MAN” position. Manual indicator “M” will be displayed.

2.Apply the Manual Mode Label to the cover, aligning the sticker and knob holes.
