Model 800 Aprilaire steam humidifire I have

Model 800 Aprilaire steam humidifire I have installed an aprilaire humidifier and its time for the low voltage wiring. I am trying to wire the humidifier so just the blower comes on when there is a call for humidity. I am not using the duct mounted humidistat I am using a thermostat to sense humidity. There are 2 terminals on the thermostat for humidity and also 2 therminals on the humidifie for low voltage. So if i go from the thermostat to the furnace to R and G to the humidifire will that work? If so then will i need a relay so when the the furnace calls for heat and humidifer is running it wont short or burn somthing out?

Aprilaire 760 keeps running

Is this a newly installed unit it sounds as if there's a wiring issue. Could you show a picture of the wiring terminals. If this is not a new install try turning of your furnace fan.

Why does my Aprilaire humidifier gurgle?

Mine was doing the same thing...first month of operation (installed toward end of heating season) = no problems with noise (bubbling, gurgling) though the duct work - started second year toward middle of season. Now its been running for a few weeks and is intolerable. I dug out owners manual and it did not address this at all. I dug out the installation manual and viola! Gurgling is caused by excess condensation in the steam hose. Sure enough the steam hose had a small area depression and did NOT have the constant downward slope necessary - installation instructions are VERY specific about needing a slope in order to allow condense to drain from the steam house. The zip-tie installation had slide down from a vertical stabilizing pipe & allowed for the hose to sag in the middle (nice install job slacker). I adjusted it and the SOUND IS GONE. Hope this helps someone else.

Aprilaire 700. It works on fan on mode but not otherwise. It's never on and the humidity reading is always way below the setting. It should turn on automatically to bring the humidity up, right?

It appears your Aprilaire model 700 is wired to only operate when your HVAC fan is operated by your thermostat. Your HVAC installer can wire the humidifier control to operate the humidifier during a heat call, fan call or to turn on the fan when there is a need for humidification. Please contact your HVAC installer to have them change the wiring.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be of service
