Must be installed by a trained, experienced technician.

Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions can damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.

Please read this manual completely. It is important that you understand how the humidifier works, and how to safely perform the require-d maintenance procedures. Read and understand all safety-related labels found on and posted near the humidifier. These labels provide additional instructions and important safety information.

Welcome!

Congratulations on your new humidifier.

The Honeywell Humidifier provides the comfort of humidified air, with easier maintenance than traditional humidifiers. We are sure the humidifier will be a welcome addition to your home.

How is the humidifier different from other flow-through humidifiers? All Models:

-The humidifier operates automatically, just like a thermostat, to keep your home’s humidity at the desired level.

-The humidifier is easier to maintain: just change the pad once a year. The pad is easily accessible and does not require tools to change it.

-The humidifier can deliver humidity when it’s needed, not just when the heat is on. This allows you to achieve ideal humidity levels in your home year-round.

Advanced Models:

- The humidifier wastes less water than other flow-through humidifiers.

How should I get started? Your humidifier must be installed by an HVAC professional. If the humidifier has just been installed, it should either be running and humidifying your home, or waiting for a humidity call from the humidity control.

Once the humidifier is running, all you have to do is use the humidity control to change the humidity to your desired comfort.

Please read this manual completely for tips on getting the most out of your humidifier.

Read your humidity control manual and make sure you know how to operate your system.

If you have questions, now or later, please refer to this manual or ask your installer.

1.A call for humidity comes from the humidity control provided with the humidifier. The humidity control is connected to the humidifier with wires.

2.The solenoid turns on, allowing water to run through the humidifier pad.

3.Air from your HVAC system flows through the pad, picking up moisture from the humidifier pad.

4.Your HVAC system fan delivers the humidified air throughout your home.

5.When humidity in your home reaches the setpoint, the humidity call ends and the solenoid turns off the water flowing across the pad.

Which humidifier model do I have?

The humidifier is available in five models with different sizes and/or features:

HE100 Delivers up to 12 gallons of humidity into your home. Suitable for homes up to 16,000 cubic feet in size.

HE150 Delivers up to 12 gallons of humidity into your home. Suitable for homes up to 16,000 cubic feet in size. Includes automatic damper, status, maintenance, service LEDs, and advanced operation.

HE200 Delivers up to 17 gallons of humidity into your home. Suitable for homes up to 20,000 cubic feet in size.

HE250 Delivers up to 17 gallons of humidity into your home. Suitable for homes up to 20,000 cubic feet in size. Includes automatic damper, status, maintenance, service LEDs, and advanced operation.

HE300 Delivers up to 18 gallons of humidity into your home. Suitable for homes up to 24,000 cubic feet in size. Includes automatic damper, status, maintenance, service LEDs, and advanced operation.

Some activities in your home may create longer operating times for the humidifier. Vented fireplaces, high exhaust from fans, or driers can reduce humidity in your home and make the humidifier work harder.

Your professional installer or salesperson will have considered these and other factors when choosing the best humidifier model for your unique situation.

This label displays the model number and date code of your humidifier.

A.Water Connection with Shutoff Valve

Provides the connection from your home water supply to the humidifier. Your installer may have used the saddle valve that came with the humidifier, or may have chosen a different type of connection. This connection must include a

shutoff valve for you to turn off water supply to the humidifier, if necessary.

B.Water Supply Line

This 1/4-inch line brings water to the humidifier from the water connection. Your installer may have used plastic or copper supply line.

C.Water Drain Line

This 1/2-inch hose drains water from the humidifier to a drain in your home.

D.LEDs (HE150/HE250/HE300 only)

The three lights indicate the humidifier’s operational status and when service is required.

See “Humidifier lights and button” on page 10.

E.RESET Button (HE150/HE250/HE300 only)

The RESET button is the only user button located on the humidifier. Use the RESET button to manually reset the humidifier when the Change Pad or Service LEDs are on. See “Humidifier lights and button” on page 10.

Power

The Fan model is plugged into a 120 volt AC household electrical outlet. Unplug the power cord to turn off power.

The Bypass models are wired to a 15VA transformer. To turn off power to these models, trip the circuit to the junction box the transformer is connected to.

What should I expect from my humidifier?

Honeywell wants to make sure you know what to expect from your humidifier. Feel free to discuss these items with your installer:

Achieving Humidity Setpoint. It may take up to a week of continuous operation to achieve the humidity setpoint, especially if the home is dry when the humidifier is installed. This also depends on such factors as weather, size of home, furnishings in the home, and insulation.

Ideal Humidity. Home building industry experts cite 35% relative humidity as ideal for comfort and safeguarding the home during the typical dry season. Adjust your humidity control to your comfort or until there is condensation on the windows. Lower the setpoint if condensation appears.

Unit Not Humidifying. If the humidifier is not running but the humidity is below the setpoint, the humidity control may have a frost protection setting to prevent window condensation from appearing. See “What is a frost setting?” on the next page.

Home Ventilation. Excessive ventilation sends moist air outside and replaces it with dry air. If the home is drafty or has mechanical ventilators installed, it may be hard to maintain the humidity setpoint. If installing a ventilator, use a solution that retains moisture. An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is recommended.

Cleaning Requirements. At least once per year it is recommended to change the humidifier pad and clean the water trays of the humidifier. See Cleaning and Maintenance section for details.

Energy Consumption. You may notice a slight increase in overall energy consumption when operating any humidifier. However, humidified air feels warmer than dry air. This allows you to lower the temperature setting on the thermostat. Every degree lower on the thermostat can save up to 3% on heating costs.
