board fully configured, with drain, fill, and other humidifier
components factory-wired to the board, and the keypad/display
attached to the humidifier and connected to the Vapor-logic4
board.

Installing Vapor-logic4 is a three-step process:

1. Connect field wiring from device to Vapor-logic4 board.

See instructions beginning on Page 12. Note that some
connections listed here may not apply to your system.

(one required)

– RH or dew point transmitter

– Demand signal by others (4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC typical)

– Room or duct humidistat

– Demand signal by BACnet, Modbus, or LonTalk

r -JNJUDPOUSPMT

– Airflow switch (duct or SDU)

– Duct high limit on-off switch or transmitter

– Temperature compensation transmitter (or auxiliary

temperature sensor connected to same terminal)
