SOURCE: Humidifier control .

if humidifier was wired into thermostat circuit for power instead of seperate transformer , this can happen. you need to see if you voltage going to the solenoid valve. if you do , and it isn't opening, the valve is bad . this is assuming that it is using a # 50 relay to come on only when the fan runs . . make sure the water valve is open

SOURCE: Water only runs with humidistat in test/reset mode

you need to make sure your humidity level in the house isnt higher then what your humidifier will provide at any givin outdoor temp. this chart is in the owners manual. you cant remove the wires going to the ODS or it will give an error unless you have a resistor to put in its place. Anyway if the humidifier works in test mode according to AA it works so you may have higher humidity than you think, the highest your gonna get is 45% as the temp outside drops it will allow less humidity so it doesnt cause window condinsation (property damage) here is a copy of the chart. the #s on the left are the dial setting

SOURCE: no water flowing to water panel but have water to

To test solenoid, apply 24V directly to the terminals as see if water flows through it. Alternativly, turn everything on, ensure that there is 24 volts accross the solenoid wires, if you show 24Volts and no water, solenoid is bad. To test you will need to set your meter to AC Volts.
If you have a separate black transformer supplying the 24 volts, hook that directly to the solenoid. You may also be getting the 24Volts from your furnace circuit board, if that is the case you will see two terminals usually marked HUMIDIFIER on the furnace circuit board (you will need to open your furnace usually 4 screws or so.) There is 24 volts there WHEN THE HEAT IS ON , run two new wires from those terminals to the solinoid and see if it passes water cuz that is when those terminals have voltage. Best way is with a meter though and if you have 24 volts at the solenoid AND no water, it is bad. If NO VOLTS, then could be the the humidistat or a disconnected wire somewhere in the path.

SOURCE: Why two 24 Vac on aprilaire 700's control unit?

Okay, I looked up the installation manual online to see exactly what you are working with.
Yes the R anc C need to be hooked to the transformer supplied with the unit. The primary 120v side needs to be hooked into the power coming into the furnace. this can easily be done were the L and N get hooked into your furnace or circuit board on the furnace. This will provide the contiuous power to the unit. Preferably you will hook this after the door switch of the furnace so that you will kill the power toit if you take the blower door off.
The ODT terminals are for the outdoor sensor if you want to hook that up it will vary the humidiy in your home according to the outdoor temperature then.
Now the W/G and Cf terminals. If you have 24v coming from the HUM terminals of your furnace you DO NOT need a second transformer. You must check your furnace manual or check the voltage to them with the furnace blower energized. The HUM terminals will only have power to them when the blower should be running.
If the HUM terminals are 120v then you need to get another transformer and hook up the primary side to the HUM terminals so it is powered only when the the blower is running. Hook the secondary side to the W/G and Cf terminals.
So bottom line is that you need to figure out what voltage your furnace is giving to the HUM terminals and then go from there. Some times the EAC terminals or the ACC terminals will be 24v on the furnace board. Either of them could be used also, as they are only energized when the blower is running also.

We noticed the humidity went down to 30% and I adjusted the rate to increase Now our Aprilaire 400 says to change the filter. I did that, and it still says to change the filter. The furnace runs fine....

If your humidifier is equipped with a Digital Humidifier Control with Water

Panel change indicator, after replacing the Water Panel, turn the control

knob to the "Test/Reset" position until the "Humidifier On" light blinks to

reset its timer. (Blower must be operating and HVAC calling for heat.) Be sure

to turn the control knob back to it's original setting. If the "Humidifier On"

light continues to blink, your humidifier is in Test mode. DO NOT LEAVE THE
CONTROL IN TEST MODE OR HUMIDIFIER WILL NOT OPERATE.

Connecting an Aprilaire 700M to my HVAC system. I do not have the wiring diagram for the fan control board for the HVAC system. Aprilaire diagram says to wire the 120VAC to 24 VDC transformer to the HVAC...

If you don't have a volt meter, purchase one. I've seen them as low as $20.00 at Sears and even lower at Home Depot and other discount stores. The HUM terminals are most likely low voltage (24v). The "N" is the neutral. Assuming you have confirmed this is low voltage (24v, you will use HUM and "N" terminals. This control sequence is typically to allow for operation of your humidifier only when there is a call for your fan to run. The brown wires coming from your Humidifier are your low voltage circuit. One should be directly wired to "N". The other should be ran to your humidistat. The other side of the switch of your humidistat should be wired to the HUM terminal.
I hope you will find this helpful. Good Luck!!!!

Function of HUM terminal on 1Source Panel

That will work, The HUM feeds power to the humidifier when the fan is operating even in cooling on most models, However the humidistat must also be calling for humidity and probally won't call during the cooling months

Humidifier control: red light is on. getting 24

The red light is always on in my humidifier control panel. When I set it to test, I hear nothing clicking. No water runs into my humidifier. The unit (model 600) is about 6 years old.

if your using an outdoor thermostat then it may not be connected properly or the manual mode resistor wires are touching. these are connected on the humidistat just to the right of the H H terminals

Not operating-controller questions

are you having problems with your fan blade rotating in the wrong direction? Is yours pushing or pulling water through the water panel? I am very unhappy with my humidity levels in my house.
