About the GFX4 Digital Humidistat
In Automatic Mode the GFX4 will adjust the humidity in your home based on the outdoor
temperature, lowering the humidity in cold weather to reduce condensation. The GFX4 can
operate in Manual Mode to control humidity to a specific relative Humidity. In most homes,
Automatic operation is preferred to reduce condensation on windows and within the structure.
Manual mode is necessary where the outdoor temperature sensor cannot be installed. Manual
mode may be desirable where valuable artwork, instruments or woodwork demand constant
humidity. The GFX4 has the capability for HVAC blower control. The LCD Display is backlit and
easy to read. Operation and Installation are simple. The GFX4 can be mounted on an interior
wall or on the return duct of the HVAC System.
WARNING!
This Humidistat must be installed by a Qualified Technician. Always TURN OFF POWER TO THE HVAC SYSTEM PRIOR TO INSTALLING OR SERVICING the
Humidifier or Humidistat. Improper operation can result in over or under humidification. Over humidification can result in condensation, structural damage
or mold. Condensation within a building’s structure can cause a loss of structural strength. Condensation can also enable mold and mildew growth resulting
in personal injury and damage to building structure and contents. Older and poorly insulated structures cannot withstand the same humidity levels as
newer well insulated buildings. Read these instructions carefully. This humidistat requires a 24 VAC power supply. Improper voltage can cause malfunction
or damage to the control. Do not run outdoor sensor wires on or near line voltage wires. The technical specifications for this product and the contents of the
user manual are subject to change without notice.
