BLOwER ACTIVATION
The blower Activation feature provided with the Model 63 ADMC turns the
HVAC system fan on when there is a call for humidity .
AUTOMATIC MODE
During the first heating season, your ADMC needs to be set to match
your home's condition . The ADMC default set point is 40% RH . Follow
these steps when adjusting your control .
1 . For the first 24-48 hours of operation, it may be necessary to adjust the
set point for more or less humidity, depending on your personal comfort
and home's requirements . Refer to Table 6 – ADMC Operation guide .
2 . During the coldest portion of the first heating season, minor adjustments
may be necessary . This is dependent on your home's construction . Refer
to Table 6 – ADMC 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 .
The Aprilaire ADMC measures
outdoor temperature and
automatically adjusts the set
point to prevent condensation
and damage . Table 7 shows the
maximum Humidistat set point
the ADMC will allow for various
outdoor temperatures .
MANUAL MODE
If an outdoor temperature
sensor cannot be installed or the
application requires a specific
RH set point, the ADMC can be
configured to Manual Mode . In
Manual Mode, the humidifier
and control will maintain a
constant RH, regardless of
outdoor temperature .
It is important to anticipate a
drop in outdoor temperature
and reduce the setting
accordingly to avoid excessive
condensation . See Table 8 for
the recommended settings . These settings 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
ADMC 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 .
