The thermostat can operate 3 types of humidifiers:
Stand Alone 

• The humidifier is not connected to the HVAC system.

   

 

• The thermostat Mode can be set to Heat, Cool, Auto or Off.

Steam   

• The  steam humidifier is ducted to the HVAC system.

   

 

• The thermostat Mode can be set to Heat, Cool, Auto or Off.

   

 

• Requires the system fan to turn on when operating.

Evaporative 

• A drum style humidifier which requires the heating system to  

   

 

operate  to evaporate the water. 

   

 

• This system requires the system fan to operate.

   

 

• The thermostat Mode must be set to Heat or Auto.

Humidifier Window Protection

During cold weather, condensation will form on windows when the relative humidity 

(RH) is too high. The optional window protection feature automatically calculates the 

indoor dew point based upon the outdoor temperature and the quality of the windows 

installed. The humidifier is then operated to the highest possible RH that is below the 

Humidify To setting.

Dehumidifier Operation

The thermostat controls the relative humidity (RH) by operating either the Accessory 

1 or Accessory 2 relay. This is an installer configurable setting. When the RH is above 

the Dehumidify To setting by 3%, the Accessory 1 or 2 relay is closed to operate the 

dehumidifier. The dehumidifier is shut off when the RH reaches the Dehumidify To setting.
The thermostat can operate 2 types of dehumidifiers:
Stand Alone 

• The dehumidifier is not connected to the HVAC system.

   

 

• The thermostat Mode can be set to Heat, Cool, Auto or Off.

DX Coil   

• The HVAC cooling system is used for dehumidification.

   

 

• The Accessory 1 or Accessory 2 relay activates the DHUM  

   

 

operation on the air handling unit to operate the system fan at low  

   

 

speed.

   

 

• The cooling compressor Y1 and Y2 relays are operated. The  

   

 

chilled DX coil condenses moisture from the air.

   

 

• The cooling system can over cool the room temperature by 2°F  

   

 

(1°C) during dehumidification.

Ventilation with fresh outdoor air is important for maintaining indoor air quality. The 

thermostat can operate a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator 

(ERV) on a timer by closing the Accessory 1 relay to operate the ventilator fan at low 

speed.

The thermostat supports water-to-air heat pump systems that absorb or reject heat to a 

hydronic building loop. Whenever the heat pump compressor Y1 or Y2 relay is turned 

on, the Accessory 1 relay closes to open a hydronic zone valve. This allows variable 

speed pumps on the hydronic loop to operate at lower speeds when the heat pump is 

off, thereby saving electrical energy.
