The W43A Humidistat controls humidifying and/or 

dehumidifying equipment.  Typical uses include the

humidifiers, and dehumidifiers in residential, 

commercial, and industrial installations. 
The W43A has Single-Pole/Double-Throw (SPDT) 

snap-acting contacts rated to switch 1/4 hp motors.  It 

has a wide setpoint range of 0 to 70% Relative 

Humidity (RH), as well as “off” dial positions for 

humidification and dehumidification.  The differential of 

the W43A is fixed at approximately 6% RH.
