PROBLEM: THE DIGITAL HUMIDISTAT
KEEPS RESETTING TO THE DEFAULT SETTINGS.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Power source (transformer) is plugged into an
outlet which is being shut off or turns off via a switch.
REMEDY: Relocate the transformer to an outlet which cannot be
turned off – if you have a renovated basement the outlet may
have been wired to a switch with out you knowing.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Electrical noise is causing the digital
humidistat to reset.
REMEDY: The transformer is plugged into the same outlet, or the
outlet is in the same circuit as a refrigerator, washer, dryer or
some other large appliance – the current draw on the circuit is
causing the digital humidistat to reset or is causing electrical
noise. Relocate the humidifier's transformer to another outlet.
PROBLEM: THE DIGITAL HUMIDISTAT
IS CONSTANTLY READING LOW 15%
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The humidity in the house is that low.
REMEDY:
• Refer to the section about getting peak performance from the
humidifier. Try to maximize the units output.
• During times of extreme cold the humidity level in the home
will be low. moisture being added by the humidifier is being
taken up by the wood work and other home furnatings.
• If you have just installed the humidifier it can take any where
from 3 to 4 weeks to build up the humidity level in the home.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Fresh air is being brought into the duct via an
hrv, erv or other fresh air make up.
REMEDY: If this is the case you may want to consider purchasing
a wired remote humidistat sensor (through our parts and service
line 1-800-465-7300). Locate the sensor in the living space in a
central location.
