Use with mechanical humidistat only.  Mount a junction 

box and 115 volt grounded outlet.  Connect the on-off 

switch in series with the hot or black wire.  Install a field 

supplied 24 volt relay and attach to HUM and C on the 

furnace control board.  Install humidistat and connect one 

side to one yellow wire on humidifier.  Connect the other 

side of the humidistat to one end of switch side of the 

relay.  Connect the other switch side of the relay to the 

remaining yellow wire on humidifier.

FIG. 6A  WITH FURNACE CIRCUIT BOARD

On furnaces with output terminals ACC, or EAC 
check  output voltage to determine that termi-
nals are 115V.  Connect on-off switch in series 
with the hot wire.

WARNING:  CHECK WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR COMPLIANCE. 
WARNING:  ALL WIRING SHOULD COMPLY WITH LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

FIG. 6C  AIR PRESSURE SWITCH WITH TWO 

SPEED BLOWER MOTOR

On furnaces with a two speed blower, the 

humidifier and a Model 12500 Air Pressure 

Switch may be wired from a continuous 115 

volt power source.  Install the on/off switch 

and Air Pressure Switch in series with the hot 

or black wire.  The Air Pressure Switch will 

detect furnace operation and supply power to 

the humidifier accordingly.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The humidifier is connected to the 120 volt AC circuit through a control relay. The secondary coil of an 

isolation transformer, a diode and resistor supply 24 volts DC for the control circuit which also includes the 

humidistat and relay coil. When the control circuit is completed by the humidistat, the relay closes, supplying 

120 volts to the fan motor and 24 volts to the solenoid valve.

FIG. 6D  CURRENT SENSING RELAY WITH TWO-SPEED 

BLOWER MOTOR

On furnaces with a two speed blower, the humidifier 

may be wired from a continuous 115 volt power source.  

Install the on/off switch in series with the hot or black 

wire.  Install the GA50 (GFI #7026) Current Sensing Relay 

in series with the humidistat circuit.  The Current Sensing 

Relay will detect furnace operation and supply power to 

the humidifier accordingly.
