WIRING
CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard.
Can cause electrical shock and injury.
Disconnect power before installation or servicing.
All wiring must comply with applicable local codes,
ordinances and regulations. Make wiring connections
according to humidifier (or dehumidifier/ventilator)
instructions, if available; otherwise, see typical wiring
diagrams in Fig. 12–19.
IMPORTANT
Select models of fan centers include humidifier
taps so the current sensing relay, sail switch or
air pressure switch is not needed. If not using a
current sensing relay, sail switch, or air pressure
switch, the humidifier must be energized during
blower motor cycles for proper operation.
On multispeed blower applications, do not wire
the high voltage side of the transformer to the
same power source that services the furnace
blower. Premature transformer burnout can
occur. On HE365 fan powered humidifier mod-
els, only the two yellow wires are connected to
the control. The remaining two red wires are only
used with electronic humidity controls.
6. Using wire nuts, connect the low-voltage wire to the
leads on the H8908 humidistat. See Fig. 6–19 for
different wiring configurations.
Fig. 10. Wire the humidistat.
7. Mount the humidistat by hooking the two hinges at
the top of the back cover to the raised edge at the
top of the base bracket. Press the bottom of the
humidistat in to engage the base hinge. You will
hear a “click” when the humidistat is secured.
