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.
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.
