Hello all,
I am installing a new whole-house humifier and am looking to do so in a way where two conditions must be met for the humidifier to turn on:
One shows the basic layout of my York air handler including the existing humidstat mounted on the return duct, the old (to be removed) steam humidifier, and the new humidifier.
The new humidifier has the option of being triggered by either 24vac or by simple continuity across the wires intended to be hooked up to a mechanical humidistat. However both pairs are not to be hooked up.
My thought is to use the 24vac trigger, but then to run the 24vac in series, sending the hot to the humidistat, and then to the humidifier. Hopefully this makes sense. This board has been an invaluable resource over the last few years, hopefully someone can guide me.
Thanks in advance,
David
I am installing a new whole-house humifier and am looking to do so in a way where two conditions must be met for the humidifier to turn on:
- The fan on the air handler is running
- The humidistat is closed (ie, provides electrical continuity)
