INSTALLATION
Caution:
• Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician
• Disconnect power before installation to prevent electrical
shock and equipment damage.
• Make all connections in accordance with electrical wiring
diagram and in accordance with national and local electrical
codes. Use copper conductors only.
• NEMA Type 1 covers are intended for indoor use primarily to
provide a degree of protection against contact with the
enclosed components.
MOUNTING PROCEDURE
Mount the HC-201 on the outside surface of the return air
duct in a horizontal position where it is exposed to freely circulating air (other mounting positions are possible but not
preferred).
Caution: Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive
fumes, vibration or high ambient temperatures are present.
See Figure 3 for template dimensions for mounting.
1. Remove adhesive from the back of mounting template and
press template to desired mounting location on duct.
2. Drill the four mounting holes as indicated on template, using
No. 30, 1/8-inch (3 mm) diameter drill.
3. Cut out center portion of duct as outlined on template.
4. Using four (4) of the provided mounting screws, mount
humidistat to the duct.
5. Remove the cover and make all electrical connections in
accordance with job wiring diagram and in compliance with
national and local electrical codes.
6. Replace the cover and install cover screw provided.
7. Turn dial knob to desired setting. If locked dial setting is
desired, remove dial knob, tighten the dial lock screw and
