Wiring the Humidistat

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.

Mounting the Outdoor Sensor

(Not required if window protection isn’t needed)

Location

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:

• in direct sunlight.

• where snow, ice or debris can cover it.

• where hot or cold air blows on the sensor. (For example, a discharge line from

an outdoor compressor unit, vent or fan can cause inaccurate temperature
readings.)

16

Steps to mount the sensor

1. Remove the sensor from the mounting
clip.

2. Mark the area on the location selected
for mounting the sensor mounting clip.

3. Mount the clip. Image on right shows
typical locations for outdoor sensor.

M7514A

17

Wiring the sensor

Caution

Electrical Interference (Noise) Hazard. Can cause erratic system operation.

• Keep wiring at least one foot away from large inductive loads such as motors,

line starters, lighting ballasts and large power distribution panels.
Use shielded cable to reduce interference when rerouting is not possible.

• Be sure wires have a cable separate from the thermostat cable.

• Do not route temperature sensor wiring with building power wiring, next to control

contactors or near light dimming circuits, electric motors or welding equipment.

• Avoid poor wiring connections.

• Avoid intermittent or missing building earth ground.

18

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.

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.

Calibration

The C7089 Outdoor Sensor is calibrated
at the factory. However, you can offset
the outdoor sensor reading using
Function 35 in Installer Setup.

21

You’ve just installed your Humidity Controller!

This Humidity Control has been preprogrammed to the ideal settings for most homes.
If you installed this control with an outdoor sensor, the control will operate in

AUTOMATIC MODE, which automatically adjusts humidity to help prevent window
condensation.

If you installed this control without an outdoor sensor, the control will operate in
MANUAL MODE, giving the homeowner simple, direct control of their humidifier (RH%
Setting Only).

Advanced Installer Setup

See next page to customize feature operation.

Installer System Test

If Advanced Installer Setup is not required, skip to “Installer System Test/Checkout” on
page 27.

Advanced 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.

To begin, press and hold the p and

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.
