1. Choose a location on the RETURN duct.

Warning: Product must be mounted on the RETURN side of the duct for proper RH% sensing.
1. Choose a location in the living area.
NOTE: Select a location clear of drafts or excessive humidity. Avoid mounting near doors or windows, or in bathrooms or kitchens.

2. Separate wallplate from humidistat.

Caution: Electrical Hazard Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage. Disconnect power before beginning installation.
3. Mark the duct-tube hole.

Hold the wallplate up to the desired location on the duct and make a mark inside the duct tube hole.
4. Drill the duct-tube hole.

Find your mark and drill a 1/2 in. hole in the duct. This is where the duct tube will be inserted to capture air.
5. Insert the duct tube.
Insert the duct tube through the wallplate before securing to the duct.
6. Secure the wallplate.

Secure the wallplate to the duct with sheet metal screws (provided).
7. Run wires through the back plate.

Run wires through the top or bottom channel on the back plate when ductmounted. If installing like a thermostat on a wall, run the wires through the back.
This humidity control is wired the same way a manual humidistat (H8908) is wired. The only difference is that you also wire in power (24 VAC) and an outdoor sensor.

(Not required if window protection isn’t needed)
Mount the sensor where:
• it cannot be tampered with.
• there is good air circulation.
• surface is flat.
• wire distance between sensor and humidistat is less than 200 feet.
• it can measure true outdoor ambient temperature.
Do NOT mount the sensor:
Steps to mount the sensor

Wiring the sensor
Caution Electrical Interference (Noise) Hazard. Can cause erratic system operation
Caution Electrical Shock Hazard. Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
Disconnect power supply before connecting wiring. Wiring must comply with applicable codes, ordinances and regulations:
1. Wire the C7089 Outdoor Sensor to the S terminals on the humidity control. If leadwire provided with C7089 is not long enough (60 in.), run a cable to a hole at C7089 location.
• Using color-coded, 18-gauge, shielded thermostat wire is recommended. For example of general wiring of C7089, see image at right.
• Pigtail wiring can be used.
2. Mount C7089 in its mounting clip.
3. Plug wiring hole using nonhardening caulk or putty.

USE APPROPRIATE MOUNTING MEANS FOR THE TYPE OF STRUCTURE.
PLUG WIRING HOLE WITH NON-HARDENING CAULK OR PUTTY.
Align the 4 tabs on the wallplate with the slots on the back of the control, then push gently until the control snaps in place.

Allow C7089B Outdoor Sensor to absorb outdoor air for a minimum of twenty minutes before taking a reading.
With an accurate thermometer (±1°F [0.5°C]), measure the temperature at the sensor location, allowing time for the thermometer to stabilize before reading.
Then verify the sensor accuracy by going into installer Test #20. This will show you the outdoor temperature.
The C7089 Outdoor Sensor is calibrated at the factory. However, you can offset the outdoor sensor reading using Function 35 in Installer Setup.
Honeywell has already programmed this control to work properly in most applications. However, you can adjust the advanced settings by following the steps below.

NOTE: Most humidifiers require airflow in the system to operate. Make sure to turn on the system fan when testing humidifier operation.
Caution: If running a dehumidifier, compressor protection is bypassed during testing; avoid cycling the compressor too quickly.
Note: Some dehumidifiers may already have built in compressor protection.
If you have difficulty with your humidity control, please try the following suggestions. Most problems can be corrected quickly and easily.
