• Wiring typically involves connecting to the HVAC system's R (24VAC power), C (Common), and G (Fan) terminals, as well as connections to the humidifier's solenoid valve.
• In some installations, an external 24VAC transformer (not included) may be required to power the humidifier's solenoid if the furnace board does not provide continuous 24V power or a dedicated circuit.
• The outdoor temperature sensor connects directly to the control unit.

Penting: Always turn off power to your HVAC system at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring or installation procedures.

• The control will adjust the indoor RH by 1% for every 2°F change in outdoor temperature. This ensures optimal humidity levels without constant manual intervention.

• When in Manual Mode, the digital display will show a letter 'M' as a reminder.

• When set to 'ON', this function maximizes humidifier run time by bringing on the HVAC fan even when there is no call for heat, ensuring consistent humidification.
