Humidistat Option 2 — Wall Mount
1. Select a location in the living area of the residence. Typically the
humidistat will be placed on the wall near the main thermostat.
2. The humidistat should be placed in an area of sufficient air movement
and out of the way of any other temperature or humidity affects. For
example, do not place the humidistat in direct sunlight, near windows,
or near an air register.
3. Once the location is selected, attach the humidistat back cover to the
wall using 2 screws/anchors (E).
Note:
The duct sensor is not needed for this installation option.
Outdoor Temperature Sensor
When outdoor air temperature is very low condensation can occur on
windows and other surfaces which may cause damage to the house. To
minimize this risk the outdoor air temperature sensor should be installed, which
lowers the humidity setpoint to a safe level where the indoor relative humidity is
too low to condense. The outdoor temperature compensation controls adjusts
humidity according to the values in Table 1. The humidistat will automatically
detect if the outdoor air temperature sensor is connected and control the relative
humidity setpoint accordingly.
