Honeywell H1008A,D Automatic Humidity Controls

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 setting of the frost factor dial. 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 the equipment cycles and eliminates the need for an outdoor temperature sensor when used on single-stage gas or oil furnaces. With the use of the C7089H Outdoor Temperature Sensor (purchased separately), the H1008A,D also provide automatic humidity control in heat pump and multi-stage systems.

Location and Mounting

H1008A,D Automatic Humidity Control
IMPORTANT 

Do not install H1008 on supply air. Temperatures 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 that the humidity and temperature sensor is exposed to the normal airflow (Fig. 2).

Locate the control at least 12 in. (305 mm) upstream from the humidifier (or dehumidifion/ventilator supply air) in the return air duct where it can be exposed to the air stream of the return air. See Fig. 2.

Use the following procedure to mount the H1008A,D in the return air duct:

  1. Remove the cover by placing your thumb in the bottom notch between the cover and the base and pulling out and up. See Fig. 3.
  2. Drill 3/4 in. (19 mm) circular opening for the projection on the back of the base. See Fig. 4. Place the device on the duct and mark the mounting holes, or screw in the self-tapping screws.
    NOTE: Be sure the sheet metal surface is flat after drilling and cutting holes.
  3. Mount the base on the duct using the four mounting screws provided. Tighten the screws firmly so the space between the base and the duct is seated. See Fig. 4.
  4. Run a low voltage wire from the humidifier and equipment to the control terminals. See Fig. 6-11. Use either straight in or wraparound wiring connections. See Fig. 5.
  5. Snap the cover onto the base.

C7089H Outdoor Temperature Sensor

NOTE: The C7089H Outdoor Temperature Sensor is required only when using the H1008A control with heat pump, multi-stage equipment or multi-zone applictions.

Mount the sensor (purchased separately):

  • out of direct sunlight on the North side of the house.
  • at least three feet from dryer vents or other vents.
  • above the expected snow line where ice and debris cannot cover it.

Use the following procedure for mounting:

  1. Place the sensor in the clamp provided.
  2. Insert the screw provided through the holes in the clamp and fasten the sensor in place.

WIRING

CAUTION
Voltage Hazard. Power supply can cause electrical shock and injury. Disconnect power supply before installation or servicing. All wiring must comply with applicable local codes, ordinances and regulations.
IMPORTANT

Use 18- to 22-gauge insulated wire for proper wiring. Stranded-tinned wire is recommended. To wire the Automatic Humidity Control:

IMPORTANT:  When installing a steam-powered humidifier, be sure to cut the factory-installed steam jumper wire for proper operation.

  1. Connect 24 Vac power to the 24 Vac HOT and COM terminals on the H1008A,D.
  2. Connect the humidifier to the two HUM terminals on the H1008A,D as shown in Fig. 6 through 11.
  3. In furnace systems with two transformers, connect CG to the cooling system transformer common and connect CW to the heating transformer common. Be sure G and W connect to the R terminals of both transformers. (If only one transformer is used, leave the jumper on CG and CW.) See Fig. 6.
  4. To Wire the C7089H Outdoor Temperature Sensor, wire the sensor to the two OUT terminals on the H1008A,D.

  1. POWER SUPPLY. PROVIDE DISCONNECT MEANS AND OVERLOAD PROTECTION AS REQUIRED.

IMPORTANT: For proper wiring, use 18- to 22-gauge wire. Stranded-tinned wire with a maximum length of 300 ft.(91m) is recommended.
NOTE: Connect the humidistat to the furnace for two reasons:

  • The control can determine the outdoor temperature.
  • The control knows when the furnace blower is operating, eliminating the need for current sensing relays.

SETTINGS

Adjustment
The H1008A,D Automatic Humidity Control with HumidiCalc+™ Software is designed to provide an optimal 50°F (10°C) dewpoint and automatically adjusts the humidity level to prevent window frost or condensation. The H1008A,D activates a ventilator or dehumidifier to lower the indoor humidity level when the house dewpoing rises above 58°F. Outdoor temperature is inferred (without the need for an outdoor sensor), or measured (with optional outdoor sensor) by the HumidiCalc+™ Software. Indoor humidity and temperature information is measured from sensors located on the back of the control. The frost factor, set by using the frost factor dial, allows for variations in furnace oversizing, window insulation and average daily climate temperature. The Automatic Humidity Control with HumidiCalc+™ Software requires an initial adjustment period. To adjust the frost factor, set the frost factor dial to 10 and use Table 1 to adjust the frost factor, only one setting at a time, increasing the dial setting for more humidity, or decreasing the setting if moisture starts to build up on the inside of your windows. For more precise humidity adjustments, set the frost factor between the dial settings. Allow two days for the humidity level to subside before making further adjustments. Once the frost factor has been set, no further adjustment is needed.
