H1008A,D
Automatic Humidity Control
APPLICATION
The H1008A,D Automatic Humidity Controls with
HumidiCalc+™ Software are duct mounted and provide
automatic, low voltage, electronic control of by-pass
flow-through, powered flow-through, steam and drum
humidifiers in central heating systems. The H1008D also
controls heat/energy recovery units and dehumidifiers.
The H1008A,D are designed to automatically adjust the
humidity level based on indoor temperature and humidity,
inferred or measured outdoor temperature and the
frost factor dial setting. The frost factor setting is used to
maintain a comfortable humidity level in the home while
reducing moisture condensation on inside windows. The
HumidiCalc+™ Software infers the outdoor temperature
by monitoring equipment cycles and eliminating the need
for an outdoor temperature sensor when used with gas or
oil furnaces. Using the C7089H Outdoor Temperature
Sensor (purchased separately), the H1008A,D also
provide automatic humidity control for heat pump
systems.

Location and Mounting
H1008A,D Automatic Humidity Control
IMPORTANT
Do not install H1008 on supply air. Tempera-
tures in excess of 120°F cause the control to go
into error mode. If mounting near an elbow
area, keep the control 6 in. (152 mm) upstream
from the elbow so the humidity and temperature
sensor is exposed to the normal airflow (Fig.1).
Locate the control at least 12 in. (305 mm) upstream from
the humidifier (or dehumidifier/ventilator supply air) in the
return air duct where it can be exposed to the air stream
of the return air. See Fig. 1.
