OPERATING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

HE360A
Your Honeywell
HE360A
Humidifier is
controlled by the
H908 Convertible
Humidity Control.
The convertible
humidity control
is installed either on an interior wall in the
living area, or on the return air duct. Choose
the humidity control setting using the
combination relative humidity/outdoor
temperature setting scale on your humidity
control dial. Match the dial setting to the
outdoor temperature for optimizing the
humidity level while reducing the moisture
condensation on your windows. The table
below can also be used to adjust the humidity
control to the recommended setting.

Your Honeywell
HE360B Humidi-
fier is controlled
by the Honeywell
H1008 Automatic
Humidity Control
with
HumidCalc+™.
The automatic
humidity control
is mounted in the return air duct where it can
be exposed to the air stream of the return air.
The HumidCalc+™ software inside your
automatic humidity control is designed to
measure or infer the outdoor temperature and
automatically adjust the humidity based on the
frost factor. The frost factor is set by the
homeowner and allows for variances in

Increase the frost factor dial by one setting.
Decrease the frost factor dial by one setting.
NOTE: As the outside temperature drops,
the recommended humidity control
setting is lowered to accommodate
for effects of dew point. These
settings should reduce the accumu-
lation of moisture and ice on your
windows and in other areas of your
home.
Some indoor activities such as cooking,
showering and clothes drying can cause
excessive levels of humidity and start the
accumulation of moisture on your windows.
NOTE: If this condition persists for more
than a few hours, set the humidity
control to the lowest setting to turn
off the humidifier. If the condition
does not improve, ventilate your
home to remove the moisture.

furnace size, window type and insulation. The
Automatic Humidity Control with
Humidicalc+™ requires some initial adjust-
ments when you first install your HE360B.
The frost factor dial should initially be set to 5.
Use the following table to adjust the frost
factor dial one setting at a time, increasing
the dial setting if you feel you need more
humidity, or reducing the setting one incre-
ment at a time if you see moisture on the
inside of your windows. Allow two days
between adjustments to determine if further
adjustment is necessary. Once you have
tuned in the proper setting, you should never
have to adjust it again. HumidiCalc+™ takes
over and makes any future adjustments
caused by varying outdoor temperatures,
thus reducing moisture build-up on windows
while maintaining the optimal humidity level.
