Hello,
I've installed a Honeywell humidifier w/ TrueIAQ Digital control, which includes a outdoor sensor. I have also installed a new honeywell thermostat. I have had 2 HVAC techs. on site, and they have not been able to get it working. The heater works fine, but the by-pass, non powered humidifier will not turn on. The 24v wiring to my heater is the problem.
If anyone thinks that they can be of assistance, I would really appreciate their help. I have a wiring schematic which is much easier to understand than trying to discribe the wiring arrangement in less than 1000 words. I don't think that I can include it here as an attachment though.
Thank You, Bdavis

Try white vinegar instead. The same type of scale builds
up in drip coffee makers. Most recommend white vinegar to remove the scale that
builds up over time. The added bonus is it costs less and is completely safe. If your unit is a water over paper media humidifier, you would be much easier to replace the paper media.
Posting a diagram of how you wired the installation will help the both of us figure out what the problem is. You

Hello harley,Easiest way do is Replace thermostat with a model that has humitistat functiion.Honeywell has a nice one.Adding a seprate control is complicated & sometimes cant be done at all
the soliniod requires 24v to open so if you dont have the power then its not wire properly. Are you using a current sensing relay to allow the humidifier to only come on whe the fan is operatin? if you do have 24v on solinoid and its not opening then you got a bad solinoid. sometimes the humidistat will be a universal, for a power humidifier . A bypass requires external power and the humidistat will need to be switched to BYPASS to regonize this
Peice of cake: You run the white to sail switch the to common 2. Yrun thr re to humistat switch then to the white on the control board or conact us www.airenergyexperts.net
I suppose you are looking at the do-it-yourself model. Depending on the wire that is run up to you Regular Thermostat from your furnace. You may have to run a seperate line for the Humidistat. A digital thermostat that does Humidity and Temperature is recommended. Or you could just place a Humidistat near the furnace room. A wiring diagram will come with the Humidifier discribing the different ways to wire it.
Yes you will want the out door sensor. The reason why is it is going to read the average temp outside and will adjust what you hum is producing due to the temp outside, that is so you dont cause condensation on your window. You can run it in manuel or auto but i would strongly reccomend to run it in auto.
OK, and thanks for the reply. It's on the way...
