Humidistat
The humidistat located on the power cord senses the percentage of humidity in the
air. It causes the humidifier to cycle on and off to maintain the selected humidity
SET point. The fan will turn on if the "ROOM" reading falls 3% below the SET
point and will continue to run the humidifier until a reading of 1% above the SET
point is achieved. The fan will turn off until the ROOM reading falls 3% below the
SET point again.
NOTE
: Be sure that the humidistat, which is located on the power cord, is free
from obstruction and away from any hot air source.
Control Lock Out
To avoid unwanted tampering with the humidifier settings the controls can be
locked.
Activation Procedure
After the humidifier functions have been set up, hold the power button down for 5
seconds. The display will show "CL" for 2 seconds; release the power button and
the control will resume the display of the room humidity. The room humidifier will
continue to function with the locked in settings. If buttons are operated while "CL"
is active, the "CL" is displayed and settings are unaffected.
Deactivation Procedure
To deactivate the "CL" function simply press and hold the power button for 5
seconds. "CL" will flash at the rate of 1 second on and 1 second off for a period of
2 seconds and then resume the display of room humidity.
