Humidification - Lennox ComfortSense 7000 Series Programming And Application Manual

Humidification

INSTALLER SETTINGS
Humidification (adding moisture to air) is provided only
when the thermostat is in heat mode. The humidification
signal (H terminal) to the humidifier (off when the thermo-
stat is in the COOL mode) controls humidification. When
the thermostat is powered, the H terminal is normally inac-
tive (open circuit) in any mode (HEAT, COOL, OFF). When
a humidification demand is present, H terminal and G ter-
minal are energized (24V).
HUMIDITY SETTING default OFF. Installer settings
must be turned on before the user will have control
over the humidity. The mode selected determines how
the user can adjust the relative humidity (RH). The installer
settings include BASIC, PRECISION, DEWPOINT, and
OFF.
BASIC & PRECISION these thermostat modes allow
the user to control the relative humidity (RH) between 15
and 45%. The following conditions must be met for either
mode to operate:
S
humidification mode has been enabled, and
S
the unit is in HEAT mode, and
S
humidification demand exists (24V present at H), and
Additionally, the BASIC mode requires:
S
heat demand exists (Y energized for heat pump heat-
ing, or W energized for gas heat [W may be energized
with G de−energized]).

humidification setpoint based on the outdoor temperature
and a user−defined dew point adjustment setting.
NOTE − In dew point adjustment mode, the humidification
setpoint has no effect whatsoever on unit operation. Only
the user−defined dew point adjustment setting affects op-
eration per the following formula:

change the humidification setpoint based on the outdoor
temperature and a user−defined dew point adjustment set-
ting. When humidifying, if condensation forms on the win-
dows, the dew point should be adjusted in the range of −15
to −5%; if the home feels dry, set dew point upward in the
range of +5 to +15%.
