See wiring diagrams in section 19 for proper connection.  When using an Acu-Steam electronic 

humidistat with outdoor sensor please refer to the instructions included with the humidistat (see page 5, 
sections 3.1 through 3.5 explain the functions of the Acu-Steam wall and duct humidistats). If you decide to use 
a standard mechanical humidistat by others, connect the mechanical humidistat between the terminals marked 
GND (ground) & HSTAT ON/OFF on the humidi
