Applications
The HE-6800 Series Humidity Transmitters with
Temperature Sensor provide both humidity and
temperature sensing in room wall-mount applications.
The transmitter offers local warmer/cooler temperature
setpoint adjustment and temporary oc cu pancy
override. The humidity sensor provides Relative
Humidity (RH) accuracy of ±2% or ±3% RH and
measures RH over the entire range of 0 to 100%.
A warmer/cooler dial is included on certain models for
minor temperature adjustments from the setpoint. All
models feature an occupancy override button that
allows the user to override time-of-day scheduling
when the space is occupied outside of the normal
occupied hours schedule. The transmitter also includes
DIP switches to enable or disable override and
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) functions. In addition, all
models feature a user-selectable 0 to 5 VDC or
0 to 10 VDC humidity output switch, and a power
supply selection switch.
The HE-6800 Series Humidity Transmitters include
screw terminal block terminations that provide flexibility
for field wiring. All models include a 6-pin modular jack
access port for connecting accessories to the
Zone Bus. This feature allows a technician to
commission or service the controller via the transmitter.

are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when this equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area
may cause harmful interference, in which case users
will be required to correct the interference at their
own expense.
Canada
This Class (A) digital apparatus meets all the
requirements of the Canadian Interference-Cau sing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la Classe (A) respecte
toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel
brouilleur du Canada.
IMPORTANT: Use the HE-6800 Series Humidity
Transmitter only to provide in put to equipment under
normal operating conditions. Where failure or
malfunction of the transmitter 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 transmitter.

Installation Instructions
1
Installation
Special Tools Needed
A 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) Allen wrench or a
Johnson Controls® T-4000-1 19 Allen-Head Adjustment
Tool is required during installation.
Accessories
Installing the HE-6800 Series Humidity Transmitter on
a wallbox requires accessory NS-WALLPLATE-0,
ordered separately.
Mounting
Location Considerations
Locate the HE-6800 Series Humidity Transmitter:
• on a partitioning interior wall, and approximately
5 ft (1.5 m) above the floor in a location of average
temperature
• away from direct sunlight, radiant heat, outside
walls, behind doors, air discharge grills, stairwells,
or outside doors
• away from steam or water pipes, warm air stacks,
unconditioned areas (no heating and no cooling),
or sources of electrical interference
Note: The HE-6800 Series Humidity Transmitter is
shock and vibration resistant; however, be careful not
to drop the unit or mount it where it could be exposed
to excessive vibration.
The following ambient operating conditions apply:
• Temperature: 32 to 131°F (0 to 55°C)
• Humidity: 10 to 95% RH, noncondensing;
86°F (30°C) maximum dew point
To mount the transmitter to the wall:
2. Insert a blade screwdriver into the slot next to the
security screw location, and then carefully pry the
top edge of the transmitter assembly away from its
mounting base and remove.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the Printed Circuit
Board (PCB). Removing the PCB voids the product
warranty.
3. Pull out approximately 6 in. (152 mm) of cable from
the wall, and insert the cable through the hole in
the mounting base.
4. Align the mounting base on the wall, and use the
base as a template to mark the location of the two
mounting holes on the surface.
Note: Make sure the mounting base is positioned
correctly with the security screw located on the top
edge of the base.
5. Secure the mounting base to the wall using the
appropriate mounting hardware (field furnished).
6. Set DIP switches for the desired operation. See the
Internal Wiring Diagrams
Adjustments sections for additional information.
7. Align the tabs on the bottom edge of the mounting
base with the slots on the bottom edge of the
transmitter assembly , and rot ate the assembly onto
its mounting base.
Note: Make sure the terminal block pins align with the
holes in the terminal block.
8. Use a 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) Allen wrench or
Johnson Controls T-4000-119 Allen-Head
Adjustment Tool to tighten the security screw and
fasten the network transmitter assembly to the
mounting base.
and Setup and
1. Use a 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) Allen wrench or
Johnson Controls T-4000-119 Allen-Head
Adjustment Tool to loosen the security screw on
the top of the unit.

Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the system before checking all
wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly
connected wires may result in permanent damage to
the equipment.
Risque de dégâts matériels.
Ne pas mettre le système sous tension avant d'avoir
vérifié tous les raccords de câblage. Des fils formant
un court-circuit ou connectés de façon incorrecte
risquent d'endommager irrémédiablement
l'équipement.
IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors only. Make
all wiring connections in accordance with local,
national, and regional regulations.
Keep wires as short as possible to minimize sensor
error. Each 2 50 ft (76 m) run of 18 AWG wire or
50 ft (15 m) of 24 AWG wire creates 1F° (0.56C°) error
for a nickel sensor or 1.5F° (0.83C°) error for a
platinum sensor due to wire resistance.
To maintain less than 1F° (0.56C°) error for nickel or
1.5F° (0.83C°) error for platinum, hold the total
resistance of all sensor wiring below 3 ohm. When
wiring the HE-6800, do not run low voltage wiring in the
same conduit as line voltage wiring or other conductors
supplying highly inductive loads.
Internal Wiring Diagrams
Internal wiring diagrams are shown in Figure 1 and
Figure 2. Terminal block designations are shown in
Figure 3. The terminals are identified in Table 1. See
the Setup and Adjustments
section and Figure 4 for an
explanation of the LED and Pushbutton (PB) modes.
Make connections pairing the following wires:
• sensor (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2)
• setpoint (Terminal 3 and Terminal 4)
• Zone Bus and Common (COM)
(Terminals 6 and 7)
Shielding is not required. If used, follow the system
controller’s recommenda tio ns for gr ou nd in g th e shie ld .
Note: The Manual Override PB does not respond
when the DIP switch positions are all down (LED mode
NO PB, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4).
Manual Override is selected for either Terminals 1 and
6 to short sensor (with DIP switch set for LED Off) or
Terminal 6 and Terminal 8 to short LED (with DIP
switch set for LED On).
