and Humidi-tech®

Humidifi ers

1. Note the board orientations shown in Figure 3-1. The photos depict
the orientation of the Vapor-logic version 3 board before removal, and the
recommended Vapor-logic version 6 board orientation.

2. Remove the six screws holding the Vapor-logic version 3 board to the
front panel (see photo below). This will allow for board movement during
terminal removal.

Vapor-logic version 3 board
is mounted to the back
of this panel.

3. Leave the wires connected to the Vapor-logic version 3 board terminals.
Use needlenose pliers to pull the terminals off of the pins.

Note: The Vapor-logic version 6 board has adhesive-backed standoffs that

adhere to the subpanel. For best adhesion, make sure the subpanel
surface is clean and dry.

4. Remove the adhesive backing paper from the standoffs, and press the
Vapor-logic version 6 board onto the subpanel as close as possible to the
original footprint of the Vapor-logic version 3 board.

5. See Figure 3-1. The Vapor-logic version 3 disconnections and
Vapor-logic version 6 connections needed for this conversion are labeled.

Note: If any wires are too short to reach their new locations on the

Vapor-logic version 6 board, add pigtail extensions to them.

6. Skip this step if the humidifier does not have the SSR option (see photo at right):

Disconnect wire #434 from Vapor-logic version 3 terminal 34, and connect it to Vapor-logic
version 6 P19 terminal +SSR. Disconnect wire #435 from Vapor-logic version 3 terminal 35,
and connect it to Vapor-logic version 6 P19 terminal –BL.

7. Disconnect the wires from Vapor-logic version 3 terminals 1, 3, and 5, and connect them
to the following Vapor-logic version 6 P17 terminals: Connect wire #401 to FILL, #403 to
DRAIN, and #405 CT1.

8. Disconnect wires #402, #404, #406, and #408 from Vapor-logic version 3 terminals 2, 4, 6,
and 8. Tie them together with a wire nut and pigtail them to a single common that goes to a
DIN rail terminal C.

There are no dedicated common terminals on the Vapor-logic version 6 board. That is why, in
this step, the Vapor-logic version 3 commons get tied together with a wire nut. See the gray
text box in Figure 3-1.

12. Humidifi er with tap/softened water:
Disconnect the wires from Vapor-logic version 3 terminals 30, 31, 32, 33, and connect them

to the following Vapor-logic version 6 P2 terminals: Connect wire #430 to TOP, #431 to MID,
#432 to LOW, and #433 to .

Humidifier with the DI water option:
Disconnect the wires from Vapor-logic version 3 terminals 32 and 33, and connect them to the

following Vapor-logic version 6 P2 terminals: Connect wire #432 to LOW and #433 to .

13. Skip this step if the humidifier does not have the SDU option (see bottom photo on this page):

• Disconnect wire #407 from Vapor-logic version 3 terminal 7, and connect it to Vapor-logic

version 6 P16 terminal SDU.

• Disconnect wire #810 from relay terminal 24, cut off the connector, strip the end of the
