OPERATING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

HE360A

Your HE360A Humidifier is controlled by the H8908 Humidistat. The humidistat is installed either on an interior wall in the living area, or on the return air duct. Choose the humidity control setting using the combination relative humidity/outdoor temperature setting scale on your humidity control dial. Match the dial setting to the outdoor temperature for optimizing the humidity level while reducing the moisture condensation on your windows. The table below can also be used to adjust the humidity control to the recommended setting.

At Outside Temperature	Recommended
	Control Setting
-20°F (-30°C)	15
-10°F (-25°C)	20
0°F (-20°C)	25
+10°F (-10°C)	30
+20°F (-5°C)	35
Above 20° (Above 0°C)	40

HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS

Your humidifier uses the principle that vapor (evaporated water) is created when warm air blows over a water-soaked area. As the vapor circulates, the relative humidity rises.

Your humidity control monitors the relative humidity and activates the humidifier accordingly. The humidifier has a water supply that dispenses water evenly over a humidifier pad. The warm dry air, from the furnace, passes over the humidifier pad and picks up the moist air to circulate it throughout your home.

Humidified air feels warmer and more comfortable so you may be able to lower your thermostat heating setpoint, which saves money on your heating fuel bills. The end result is that your humidifier gives you a comfortable environment that is also energy efficient.
