BEFORE

STARTING.

This product must be installed by a qualified heating and air conditioning contractor.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury from electrical shock.

THESE iNSTALLATiON iNSTRUCTiONS ARE FORTHE HUMIDiTRAC TMHUMiDiFiER CONTROL ONLY!
For Humidifier installation, follow Humidifier Installation instructions.
/

A

STEP1: Unpack the Humidifier Control Carton
Make sure all components are present (see FigureA):
A. Humidifier Control
D. ResistorCase
B. OutdoorTemperature Sensor
C. Sensor Shield

E. Manual Label

STEP2: Disassemble the Humidifier Control

FigureA

Removeknob,then pull cover offthe base.

STEP3: Checkthe Jumper Blocks

FAN-POWERED HUMIDIFIER

With the cover removed,notice 5 pins coming up from the base. Make sure the 2 sets of
jumper blocks are correctly set for the type of humidifier being installed (see FigureB).

STEP4: MountHumidifier Control
BYPASS HUMIDIFIERS

Control must be mounted in the Return Duct.For proper operation, the
Control must be at least 6 inches upstreamof any of the following:

* Humidifier
* HumidifierBypass Ductwork(if applicable)
* FreshAir Intake Ductwork (if applicable) (see Figure C)

Usethe perforated Humidifier Control template (attachedto these instructions) to marl<
the duct opening and cut it. Use4 sheet metal screws (not provided)
to mountthe Control in the duct opening and make sure Control is sealed tightly to duct.

STEP 5: Determine Locationfor OutdoorTemperatureSensor
The Outdoor TemperatureSensor:
1. Must be mounted on North, East or West side of house out of direct sunlight
2. Must be at least 3 feet from all exhaust vents
3. Must be above expected snow line (Seefigure D)

STEP6: Locate Existing Access Hole to Outside
A convenient way to get the Sensorwire outside is to make
use of unusedwires running to the A!C condensing unit
(if applicable). Otherways are to use existing holes for
Cable11/lines, telephone lines,A/0 lines, etc. Read all
equipment instructions beforehand for possible conflicts
and warnings.

System Checkout
1. For systemtest, be sure that 24VACis applied to the 24VAC
terminals of Humidifier Control.

6. If the humidifier does net activate with the Humidifier Controlin
the "Test" position, refer to troubleshooting guide.

2. Putthe cover and knob back onto Humidifier Control base.

7. Setting the Humidifier Control:
•
•

3. Activate furnace blower andbe sure thermostatis callingfor heat.
4. Rotatethe control knob of Humidifier Control clockwise to the
"Test" position.

If home is occupied, set Humidifier Controlto "Normal"
If home is vacant, set Humidifier Controlto "Off"

8. Inform homeowner to set the Humidifier Control to "Normal"
(position5) for the initial adjustment period. Once the Humidifier
Control is properly adjusted, no further adjustment is necessary!

5. If all is set up properly,you should be able to hear the solenoid
valve click open. In "Test" mode,the Humidifierwill operate for
1 minute.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE

Humidifier does net
operate in "Test" mode

,

Make sure furnace blower is operating and thermostat is calling for heat.

,

Make sure the OutdoorTemperatureSensor is connected to the "Outdoor Temperature Sensor" terminals of the control.

,

Check mainwiring diagramfor correct Humidifier Control installation.

,

Check voltage at Humidifier Control24 VACterminals. Voltage should be 22VACminimum-30 VAC maximum.

•

Check Humidifier Controlfor correct installation of jumper blocks.

•

Check Current Sensing Relay(if used)for correct installation. Donot use Model 50 Relayin transformer circuit or "24 VAC"
circuit of Humidifier Control.Model 50 relay is to be usedin the "A/A" circuit only.

•

In"Test" mode,humidifierwill operate for 1 minuteonly. DO NOTLEAVEIN TESTMODEAS HUMIDIFIERWILL NOTOPERATE.

Humidifier operates only
in "Test" mode

•

If outdoor temperature is greater than 65°For less than -32°F,the Humidifier Control will
only operate inthe "Test" mode.(Automatic Mode Only)

•

If the humidity level inthe home is higher than the knobsetting, the Humidifier Control
will not operate the Humidifier.

•

Check the resistance of the sensor by removing the leads of the OutdoorTemperature
Sensorfrom the terminals and measuringthe resistance acrossthe wires with an ohmmeter. Confirm reading to outdoor temperature in Table 1.

•
•
•

Make sure the OutdoorTemperature Sensoris mounted completely outside the house
on the North, East,or West side of the house and out of direct sunlight.
If OutdoorTemperature Sensor is mounted infresh air intake duct, make sure the probe
is no further than 36 inches from the outside wall.
Make sure the OutdoorTemperature Sensoris located at least 3 feet away from all
exhaust vents.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE

Humidifier operates
constantly

•

If the humidity levelin the home is lessthan the knob setting, the Humidifier Controlwill
operate the Humidifier until the humidity level is higherthan the knob setting.

,

In the "Test" mode,verify unit will operate for approximatelyone minute.

,

Check the resistance of the sensor by removing the wires of the Outdoor Temperature
Sensor and measuringthe resistance acrossthe wires with an ohmmeter.Compare
measurementto outdoor temperature in Table 1.

•

Make sure the OutdoorTemperatureSensor is mounted completely outside the house on
the North, East,or West side of the house and out of direct sunlight..

,

Rotatethe Humidifier Control knobcounterclockwise to the "Off" position, and observe
whether the humidifierturns off. If the humidifier still operates in the "Off" position,
performthe following:
1. Checksummary wiring diagram for correct Humidifier Control Installation.
2. Removewires from Humidifier Control's"A/A" terminals. If Humidifier continues
to operate, replace solenoid valve.

Humidifier or Humidifier

•

Check for steady 22 VAC- 30 VACwith voltmeter.

Control "chatters" or
clicks ON and OFFrapidly

,

Make sure OutdoorTemperatureSensor wiring is not run alongsidewires carrying high voltage (120VACor higher).

WARNING
Sharp edges on the opening may cause cuts. Use care when cutting the plenum opening
and installing the Humidifier Control.
CAUTION
•

Do not mount Humidifier Control on supply plenum or duct. Tile unit will =rotwithstand
supplytemperatures and will malfunction!

• When installing Humidifier Control on counterflow furnaces, ensure blower continues
to run after a heat call is satisfied to eliminate high temperatures from damaging the
Humidifier Control.
•

Do not mount Humidifier Control downstream of the bypass outlet. False humiditV
conditions will cause humidifier to operate incorrectly.
