6. BLOWER EXTENSION FOR HUMIDITY CONTROL

If the heating equipment has not run long enough to allow the humidifier to meet the humidity demand, the thermostat will continue the blower after a heat call. One second before the thermostat turns off the heating terminal(s), the fan terminal will be energized thus extending blower operation. If the fan terminal was on as part of the heat call it will remain on, if it was not on it will be turned on. The thermostat will operate the blower for no less than 5 minutes after the heat call and not more than 15 minutes. This will allow the humidifier to continue to put moisture in the air to satisfy the humidity demand. This feature can be enabled or disabled and can only be used when an AHC is part of the installation.

Note: To take full advantage of this feature, the humidifier should be plumbed to hot water.

1.Make sure the thermostat is in the OFF mode.
