Selecting Location for Humidistat
• Select a location for the humidistat on the return
plenum or on the wall in the living space.
• Mounting on the return plenum is the easiest
installation for the control wiring circuit.
• Make sure that the thermostat wire is adequate to
reach from the humidifier to the humidistat, and also
from the humidifier to the transformer. See "Wiring" on
page 5 for more information.
IMPORTANT
The humidistat must be mounted upstream from
the humidifier or bypass duct to ensure it is
properly sensing the relative humidity of the living
space. Locate the control at least 8 in. (203 mm)
upstream from the humidifier in the return air
duct. (See Fig. 3.)
