TRUERH™ Series
HC-67x3 Humidity Controllers
Application Requirements
The HC-67x3 Humidity Controllers proportionally
ramp their output as the humidity changes in the
proportional band. The setpoint is at the low end of
the proportional band for Direct Acting (DA) and at
the high end for Reverse Acting (RA) (shown in
Figure 1) for both wall mount and duct probe
humidity controllers.
Figure 1: 0 to 10 Volt, RA Application
Configure the controller prior to installation for the
following: setpoint, proportional band, action, and
output signal. Proceed to the appropriate controller
section.
Installation
IMPORTANT: The HC-67x3 Series Humidity
Controllers is intended to provide an input to
equipment under normal operating conditions. Where
failure or malfunction of the HC-67x3 Series Humidity
Controllers could lead to personal injury or property
damage to the controlled equipment or other property,
additional precautions must be designed into the
control system. Incorporate and maintain other
devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems or
safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or protect
against failure or malfunction of the HC-67x3 Ser i es
Humidity Controllers.
IMPORTANT: Le HC-67x3 Series Humidity
Controllers est destiné à transmettre des données
entrantes à un équipement dans des conditions
normales de fonctionnement. Lorsqu'une défaillance
ou un dysfonctionnement du HC-67x3 Series Humidity
Controllers risque de provoquer des blessures ou
d'endommager l'équipement contrôlé ou un autre
équipement, la conception du système de contrôle doit
intégrer des dispositifs de protection supplémentaires.
Veiller dans ce cas à intégrer de façon permanente
d'autres dispositifs, tels que des systèmes de
supervision ou d'alarme, ou des dispositifs de sécurité
ou de limitation, ayant une fonction d'avertissement ou
de protection en cas de défaillance ou de
dysfonctionnement du HC-67x3 Series Humidity
Controllers.
The controller is available in both a wall mount or duct
probe package to suit a variety of sensing application
needs. Refer to the Mounting section for a complete list
of the tools required for installation.

Location Considerations
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
circuit board and components, do not mount the
unit in a location where high concentrations of
corrosive vapors are present.
The HC-67x3 controller is shipped with one
mounting base for both surface and wallbox
mounting. To mount the HC-67x3, release the cover
from the base as described in Figure 2.
be careful not to drop or mount the unit where it could be
exposed to excessive vibration. The following ambient
operating conditions apply:
• Temperature: 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C)
• Humidity: 0 to 100% Relative Humidity (RH),
non-condensing; 85°F (29°C) maximum dew point
To mount the HC-67x3 to a wallbox:
1. Pull the cable or wiring through the wallbox and
base.
2. Rotate the mounting base, so one of the arrows on
the base points up.

Wallbox Mounting: Special Tools Needed
Use a 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) Allen wrench or
T-4000-119 Allen-head adjustment tool for
mounting.
Wallbox Mounting: Location Considerations
Locate the humidity transmitter on an inside wal l,
free from drafts, and out of direct sunlight. The
HC-67x3 is shock and vibration resistant; however,

needed as shown in Figure 6. Do not use the
spacers for 5/8 in. (16 mm) drywall.
Note: For replacement spring clips, spacers, and
screws, order the ACC-DWCLIP-0 Drywall Clip Mounting
Kit. (See Table 1.)
Surface Mounting: Special Tools Needed
• hole saw with 1-3/8 in. (35 mm) diameter blade
• 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) Allen wrench or
T-4000-119 Allen-head adjustment tool
• drill with 1/8 in. (3 mm ) drill b it
To mount the surface model to drywall, refer to
Figure 6 and proceed as follows:
1. Bend the top and bottom edges of mounting
base at the perforations until they break off.
(See Figure 5.)
2. Drill a 1-3/8 in. (35 mm) hole in the surface
where the unit is to be mounted, and pull the
wiring through the drilled hole.
3. Mark the location of the two mounting screws,
and drill the holes.
4. Insert the spring clips on each side of the drilled
1-3/8 in. (35 mm) hole, and use the spacers if

bottom lip of the base, and rotate it up onto the base
as shown in Figure 4.
8. Tighten the cover screw.
9. Once installed, the HE-67xx cannot be removed

• pliers
• gasket, sealer, or other material to seal the area
between the unit and the duct
Duct Probe Mounting Location Considerations
Place the duct probe humidity controller in a location
that complies with the following:
• Position: Designed for duct mounting in any
position, except with the probe tip pointed up.
• Duct Diameter: Recommended minimum diameter
(round ducts) or width (square ducts) is 12 in.
(305 mm).
• Air Stratification (when the unit is mounted on the
discharge side of the fan): Recommended location
is at least 8 ft (2.4 m) downstream from the
humidification equipment, where duct air and
water vapor are sufficiently mixed. Avoid areas
where the probe may be exposed to condensation.
To mount the duct probe humidity controller, refer to
Figure 7, and proceed as follows:
1. Remove any excess insulation from the duct that
prevents the probe from extending a minimum of
3 in. (76 mm) into the air stream.

Figure 6: Surface Mounting to Drywall
2. Use the hole saw to make a 1 in. (25.4 mm) hole
in the duct for inserting the probe.
3. Pull the plastic cover off the housing.
Figure 7: Mounting and Assembly
4. Insert the probe into the duct, and mark the
location of the holes for the mounting screws.
5. Remove the unit, and drill a 1/8 in. (3 mm) hole for
each mounting screw.
IMPORTANT: Remove the unit before drilling
to prevent any metal remnants from falling onto the
circuit board. Seal any holes created during
installation to help reduce drafts and for more
accurate humidity readings.
6. Use a gasket, sealer, or other means to seal the
area around the 1 in. (25.4 mm) hole between the
unit and the duct.
7. Reinsert the probe, and secure the housing to the
duct using the two No. 8 screws provided.

To set the proportional band, see Figure 8. Use a
1/8 in. (3 mm) flat-blade screwdriver to turn the
potentiometer to the position desired.
Troubleshooting
If the humidity controller is not functioning properly:
1. Verify the unit is mounted in a location that is
indicative of space humidity (away from drafts and
sunlight, for example).
2. Check all supply voltage connections, and make
sure the wiring is correct. (Refer to Figure 8 and
Figure 9.)
3. Check the proportional band and setpoint settings.
If the humidity control equipment is cycling
excessively, the proportional band setting may be
too low.
4. Verify the jumper positions. If the unit is not
delivering an output, make sure the jumpers are
appropriately selected for the application.
5. Replace the unit if the troubleshooting suggestions
fail to remedy the problem.

Setpoint, Proportional Band, and Jumpers
Refer to Figure 9 to change the setpoint, proportional
band, or the action and output jumpers for the
application desired.
1. Use a 1/8 in. (3 mm) flat-blade screwdriver to turn
the setpoint or proportional band potentiometer to
the desired setting.
2. Select the appropriate control action and output
setting using the jumpers.
Repairs and Replacemen t
The HC-67x3 units are not field repairable. As with any
electrical device, keep the air vents clean and free
from dust or obstruction. The HC-67x3 controllers
have been designed for maintenance-free operation.
Sturdy packaging, solid-state components, and
high-quality element construction combine for a
long-lasting, high performance sensor. To order
replacement parts, contact the nearest
Johnson Controls representative.
