Product Description
The HC Digital Automatic Humidistat is a programmable
control for HCSteam residential humidifiers. While the HC
Digital Automatic Humidistat may be used for control of
other humidification or dehumidification appliances, its op
erating modes are designed for modulating control of the
HCSteam electrode steam humidifiers.
When properly installed and configured, the HC Digital Au
tomatic Humidistat will use information from the environ
ment including Relative Humidity, Outdoor Temperature
and Home Construction to determine the Ideal Humidity
and the Optimum Humidifier Output.
