Deciding On The Wiring Configuration; Step One: Make Power Monitoring Decision - Honeywell TrueSTEAM Guide D'installation

Deciding on the Wiring Configuration

Before making decisions about wiring configurations:
I understand when to use the DIP switches and how to set them for the humidity control.
You need to decide on the configurations you will use before wiring the TrueSTEAM, These decisions will affect
how the connections are made, how the DIP switches are set, and how TrueSTEAM operates for the homeowner.
STEP ONE: Make Power Monitoring Decision
Power Monitoring is a configuration that allows TrueSTEAM to humidify only when it has confirmation that the
HVAC system transformer has power. This helps prevent steam from entering the supply duct when the HVAC
system is not operating. There are two ways to configure power monitoring, depending on the humidity
control used:
• CONFIGURATION 1
• CONFIGURATION 2
Which is right for you?
CONFIGURATION 1 — using a thermostat
with an integrated humidity control such as
VisionPRO IAQ or Prestige — is ideal for
contractors who:
Want simplified wiring – TrueSTEAM
only needs to be connected to the HUM
terminals from the control.
Provide integrated system and accessory
control in the living space.
Are using VisionPRO IAQ or
Prestige thermostat.

– Using a thermostat with integrated humidity control
– Using a humidistat separate from the thermostat
CONFIGURATION 2 — using a humidistat
separate from the thermostat such as H8908
or TrueIAQ — is ideal for contractors who:
Use a humidity control separate from
the thermostat.
Wish to locate the humidity control on the
return duct.
