Operating

Instructions

INSTALLER:

Please leave this Operation Manual with the homeowner.

Your humidifier is controlled by either an Automatic Digital

Humidifier Control, or a Manual Humidifier Control.

The Automatic Digital Humidifier Control offers two modes of

operation, Automatic or Manual. When in the Automatic Mode,

this system offers the following benefits:

• You will receive the optimum amount of humidity so that

your home and its furnishings are protected from the

damaging effects of excess condensation or low

humidity during the heating season. The Control

automatically adjusts your home’s RH based on the outdoor

temperature, increasing the time maximum comfort is

maintained

• Simple operation with few adjustments. The Control

eliminates the need to manually adjust the control when

outdoor temperature changes. It also eliminates the need to turn

the dial setting to “OFF” during the summer season.

YOUR HUMIDIFIER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Blower Activation

Digital Humidifier Control Indicator Lights

Set the “Blower Activation Switch” to “ON” to allow the

humidifier control to activate the HVAC fan for maximum

humidification. For this setting the Models 500, 600 and 700 must

be connected to hot water.

If the HVAC system has been idle for one hour, the humidifier

control will activate the HVAC system fan to sample the air for 3

minutes. If the RH is lower than the set point, the humidifier

control will activate the humidifier and keep the fan running. The

humidifier will continue to operate for 2 hours or until the

humidification set point is reached.

If the RH set point has not been reached by the end of a call for

heat, the control will continue to operate the humidifier and the

HVAC fan until the humidification set point is reached or 2 hours

have elapsed.

When the “Blower Activation Switch” is in the “OFF“ position, the

humidifier control will only operate the humidifier if humidity is

required and the HVAC system fan is operating or the HVAC

system is producing heat.

NOTE: If used in conjunction with an Aprilaire 8570

Communicating Thermostat, and the blower activation feature is

desired, DO NOT wire the A B communication terminals.

Call Dealer for Service: The red light indicates that the

humidifier is not operating normally and that service is required.

Change Water Panel: The yellow light indicates that it is time

to change the Water Panel in the humidifier. (Model 60 only. The

Model 62 is used for steam applications that do not require this

feature.)

Humidifier On: The green light indicates that the humidifier is

operating normally.

Automatic Digital Humidifier Control

Your Automatic Digital Humidifier Control works in conjunction

with your heating, ventilating, air conditioning equipment (HVAC)

to control the operation of the humidifier. The control senses

indoor humidity and outdoor temperature and automatically

adjusts the operation of the humidifier to provide the optimum

humidity level in the home.

The digital readout on the automatic control displays the humidity

level inside the cold air return duct. This reading will accurately

indicate the humidity in the living space when the HVAC blower is

operating.

Your Aprilaire Humidifier Control is installed in the cold air return

duct. During the first heating season, your Humidifier Control

needs to be set initially to match your home’s condition. Please

follow these steps when adjusting your control (refer to Figure A).

1. Turn the dial setting knob to “5”, which is within the normal

range. During the next 24-48 hours it may be necessary to

adjust the dial for more or less humidity, depending on your

personal comfort and home’s requirements. Refer to TABLE 3 –

Operation Guide.

2. During the coldest portion of the first heating season, minor

adjustments may be necessary. This is dependent upon your

home’s construction. Refer to TABLE 3 – Operation Guide.

The humidity in your home will now be accurately controlled to

meet your needs and should not need further adjustment during

future heating seasons. Make note of the dial setting in the event

you temporarily move the knob to “OFF” when performing annual

maintenance of your Aprilaire humidifier.

Figure A – Automatic Mode

AUTOMATIC MODE (Manual Mode – see page 6)

Figure B – Manual Mode

When installed in the Manual Mode (see Figure B internal

switch in “MAN” position and “M” in the display), it is important

to anticipate a drop in outdoor temperature and reduce the

setting accordingly to avoid excessive condensation. For

example, with an outdoor temperature of 20°F the correct setting

will be 35%. If the temperature is expected to fall to 0°F, then

merely reduce the setting to 25% several hours prior to the

temperature change.

90-1236B

MANUAL MODE (Automatic Mode – see page ) See Table 1 for the recommended settings. These settings,

which are based on years of research, represent a compromise

between humidity levels that would be most desirable for

comfort and humidity levels that are suitable for protection of

your home and to avoid condensation on your windows. For

example, a wintertime indoor humidity of 50% may be

considered ideal for comfort, but unfortunately, it probably would

result in condensation, which can cause damage to your home.

Observing the recommended humidity levels on your Humidifier

Control is an important safeguard. Condensation of water on the

inside surface of windows in the form of fogging or frost is

usually an indication of too much humidity. This same

condensation can occur in other areas in your home, possibly

resulting in damage.

WATER PANEL CHANGE INDICATOR (MODEL 60 ONLY)

The control keeps track of humidifier operation time. The yellow

“Change Water Panel” light flashes after a preset amount of

running time has elapsed. This running time is preset by the

installer based on the humidifier model and water hardness.

Refer to the Annual Maintenance section for instructions on

changing the Water Panel or call your heating and air

conditioning dealer for service. After the Water Panel is

replaced, turn the Control knob to the “Test/Reset” position until

the green “Humidifier ON” light flashes, to reset the Water Panel

change timer.

TEST/RESET

The Test/Reset feature allows the humidifier operation to be

checked even if there is no call for humidity. See “Check the

Humidifier Operation” on page 12.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your humidifier is a precision system that will accurately

maintain the humidity in your home. For every 2°F change in

outdoor temperature, the Digital Humidifier Control will

automatically adjust the indoor RH by 1%.

The Digital Humidifier Control will accurately control the

humidity in your home to a maximum of 45%.

The humidity values in Table 2 are targets based on outdoor

temperature and the Digital Humidifier Control setting. The

actual humidity may vary due to conditions in the home (cooking,

showering, etc.).
