WALL MOUNT INSTALLATION 

1 Locate the humidistat about 5 ft. above the floor, on an inside wall, 

away from discharge registers. Also, avoid areas with extreme 
variation in relative humidity levels; i.e. bathrooms and kitchens. 
When wall mounting, homeowners usually prefer the humidistat 
mounted beside, or in the vicinity of the heating thermostat.  

2 For conversion to a wall mount configuration, simply pull the 

indicator knob off and remove the mounting screws, and rotate 
the control 180° and reattach the mounting base Fig 2. 

3 Drill a 3/8 in. hole in the indention on the mounting base plate. 
4 Place the base assembly in the predetermined location on the wall, 

in a horizontal position, make sure it is level. Mark and drill a 3/8 
in. hole in the wall. 

5 Run low voltage wire to the location and pull about 6 in. of wire 

through the hole. 

6 Plug the hole with a nonflammable insulation to prevent drafts from 

affecting the humidistat operation. 

7 Position the base assembly over the wire and pull the wire through 

the hole previously drilled in the plate. 

8 Use four 1 in. screws to secure the mounting base plate to the wall. 
9 Connect the wires to the terminals on the control. 
10 Use one 3/8 in. screw to secure the humidistat cover. 
11 Remove the backing and adhere the cover label to the recessed area 

on the front of the cover. 

12 Push the indicator knob onto the control shaft.
