Always turn off power to the HVAC system prior to installing or servicing the humidifier or humidistat. Improper operation can result in over or under humidification. Over humidification can result in condensation, structural damage or mold. Condensation within a building’s structure can cause a loss of structural strength. Condensation can also enable mold and mildew growth resulting in personal injury and damage to building structure and contents. Older and poorly insulated structures cannot withstand the same humidity levels as newer well insulated buildings. Read these instructions carefully. This humidistat requires a 24 volt, AC power supply. Improper voltage can cause malfunction or damage to the control. The technical specifications for this product and the contents of the user manual are subject to change without notice. Before Installing or Operating, PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS Specifications Electrical Rating 18-30 VAC, 60Hz Switching Load 1 amp max. Outdoor Sensor 200 ft. max. Auto Mode Control Range 10%-60% RH Manual Mode Control Range 10%-75% RH Automatic Digital Humidistat In Automatic Mode, the Braeburn 229150 Digital Humidistat will adjust humidity based on the outdoor temperature, lowering the humidity in cold weather to reduce condensation. The humidistat can operate in Manual Mode to control humidity to a specific relative Humidity. In most dwellings, Automatic operation is preferred to reduce condensation on windows and within the structure. Manual mode is necessary where the outdoor temperature sensor cannot be installed. Manual mode may be desirable where valuable artwork, instruments or woodwork demand constant humidity. The LCD Display is backlit and easy to read. The humidistat can be mounted on an interior wall or on the return duct of the HVAC System. Outdoor Temp. -10˚F, (-23˚C) min Accuracy RH 10%-90% +3% RH Accuracy Indoor Temp. +1˚F, +1˚C Accuracy Outdoor Temp. +1˚F, +1˚C Resolution 1˚ or 1% Duct Mount Installation IMPORTANT: Use base without vents for duct mount installation. 1. Choose an accessible location on the main RETURN air duct at least 15 inches from any duct bends. 2. Drill a 1 inch diameter hole in the center of your desired mounting location. 3. Using the base as a template, mark two mounting holes and rectangular opening (for wires). 4. Using a 1/8 inch drill bit, drill two mounting holes. Cut or drill out rectangular opening for wires. 5. Secure base to the duct with supplied sheet metal screws. Pull wires through opening. 6. Connect wires (see “wiring”) and then attach humidistat body to base. Wall Mount Installation IMPORTANT: Use base with vents for wall mount installation. 1. Choose a location in the living area that is clear of drafts or excessive amounts of humidity. Avoid mounting near air ducts, doors or windows. Do not install in bathrooms or kitchens. 2. Drill a 1 inch diameter hole in the center of your desired mounting location. 3. Using base as a template, mark the two mounting holes and rectangular opening (for wires). 4. Using a 3/8 inch drill bit, drill two mounting holes and gently tap in supplied anchors. Cut or drill out rectangular opening for wires. 5. Secure base to the wall with supplied plastic anchors and screws. Pull wires through opening. 6. Connect wires (see “wiring”) and then attach humidistat body to base. Wiring WIRING TO FAN POWER HUMIDIFIER Remote Sensor Installation IMPORTANT: Keep remote sensor wires at least 6 inches from line voltage wires. 1. If installing the optional outdoor remote sensor, choose a location on the north or east wall of the structure. Install above the snow line away from air intakes or exhaust sources. 2. Run two wire (22 gauge minimum) cable from the humidistat SNSR1 and SNSR2 terminals to the outdoor location. Attach wire to sensor regardless of polarity. Wire run should not exceed 200 ft. 3. Install the metal hanging bracket with the screws provided. Insert sensor into large opening of bracket and sensor wire into small opening of bracket. 4. Use non-hardening caulk to plug any wiring holes after verifying operation of sensor.
