Maintaining ideal humidity

Optimal Relative Humidity (RH) is defined by industry experts* as between 40-60% RH on an

average annual basis, and 35% during the heating season in dry climates. An environment with

too little humidity leaves the body vulnerable to viruses and bacteria, and can cause woodwork

in the house to shrink and crack. On the other hand, too much humidity creates ideal conditions

for mold and mildew growth.

Proper indoor humidity can also help you save money on energy bills. When maintained proper-

ly, your equipment won’t have to run as much because humidified air feels warmer in the winter.

TrueSTEAM function and operation

Your TrueSTEAM humidifier provides the highest capacity and most efficient steam humidifica-

tion for whole-house residential applications.

The patented Condensate

Collect Dome and beveled nozzle

keep water in the tank, delivering

only true steam into your duct’s

airflow.

Sediment screen

keeps the tank clean

for a longer period of

time, reducing main-

tenance and ensuring

optimum perfor-

mance.

Wiring to your HVAC equipment

allows TrueSTEAM to supply humidity

when you need it by turning on your

equipment automatically.

LED light feedback allows you to

monitor performance, giving you

total control and peace of mind.

True steam provides your home with high-

capacity true humidity, while using up to 70%

less water than flow-through humidifiers.

Snap-lock latch allows

for quick, easy main-

tenance.

Automatically fills with

water and drains when

needed, so you don’t have

to remember to do it.

Operating Manual

69-2035EFS—01 4

With automatic controls like TrueIAQ and VisionPRO

IAQ, you need only calibrate this setting once. The

automatic feature will adjust by itself as outdoor condi-

tions change, based on your initial settings. After set-

ting your auto control to the desired RH% level, check

for condensation or frost forming on windows on the

first cold day. If present, adjust your frost settings on

the control (see control owner’s manual if needed).

The Window Frost Protection feature protects your

home by limiting humidity output based on outdoor

conditions (for example, on colder days, your home can hold less humidity).

Frost Settings should be lowered by one value each morning that you see frost or condensa-

tion on windows. Allow 24 hours for the adjustment to take affect. Once you have this set to a

comfortable level without condensation forming, you will not need to adjust this again. You can

adjust your humidity settings without worrying about condensation.

With Manual Humidity Controls—such as the H8908—you

will need to adjust your RH% settings each time the outdoor

conditions change (more humidity with warmer outdoor con-

ditions, lower humidity with colder conditions). These con-

trols provide accurate operation, but require more hands on

adjustment. These controls are a good choice for homeown-

ers who desire continuous interaction with humidity settings.

Setting the controls

The colder it is outside, the less humidity can be retained by the air. Initially setting your humidi-

stat to ideal comfort levels will help your TrueSTEAM deliver optimal humidification. The table

below provides suggested control settings based on outdoor conditions.

You may experience that your home needs

humidity levels to be slightly higher or lower

than the suggested levels given in the table, in

order to prevent window condensation or dry-

ness. This is because your home is unique in

size, shape, building tightness, and age. These

variables play an active role in how your indoor

humidity fluctuates. Use the table as a start-

ing point, but adjust according to your comfort

and observations of condensation.

About your new thermostat

Seasonal or vacation maintenance

TrueSTEAM has the built-in intelligence to shut down when humidity is not needed for an

extended period. After 48 hours of inactivity, TrueSTEAM will drain its tank and remain empty

until it is needed again. This prevents water from stagnating within the tank. There are a few

house-cleaning steps to follow to keep your TrueSTEAM at peak efficiency:

1. Follow steps 1–6 in the Cleaning section on pages 7–8 at least once per year, or when the

Press Empty light is blinking.

2. Clear ventilation holes in the humidifier’s cover.

3. Clear the water drain tube.

4. Make sure the water tank gasket seal is not cracked or split before reattaching the

humidifier water tank.

5. Check that the humidifier is still level.

Extended Vacation

When you leave on extended vacations, it is recommended you turn off the humidifier’s water

supply and turn off the humidity control. When you return, turn on the humidifier water supply and

reset your humidity control to a comfortable position.

5. Use tap water to flush loose minerals

from the tank. Sediment screen at

tank's bottom is removable. For a more

thorough cleaning, soak tank in warm,

soapy water, then rinse clean. Tank is

also dishwasher-safe.

Cleaning and maintenance

M24856

6. Carefully rub minerals off of the heating

element and reservoir walls. Scouring

pads suitable for non-stick pots or pans

are suitable for cleaning the TrueSTEAM

reservoir walls and components within the

tank.

Sediment screen

Once clean, reattach tank by securing the latch. Engage the water valve to the cam shaft, and

“Lock” the shut-off valve. The “Press Reset” light will blink at start-up. Push the RESET button

to ready the humidifier.

69-2035EFS—01 12

About your new thermostat

TrueSTEAM has internal system diagnostics that monitor system operation and maintenance

schedules as well as system faults. If a system fault is detected, the system will attempt to

recover itself up to five times in a 24 hour period. If unable to recover in that time, the red Call

Service light will activate.

NOTE TO HOMEOWNERS: If the Call Service light is active, unplug and plug the TrueSTEAM

back in to clear the fault codes. If the Call Service light turns back on within one day, contact

your professional HVAC installer to troubleshoot the device.

HVAC INSTALLING TECHNICIANS: If the TrueSTEAM Call Service light is red, a system fault

has occurred from which the humidifier can not recover by itself. The table below shows the

possible faults, along with steps to fix TrueSTEAM.

To see which of these faults has occurred, pressing the Reset button when the red Call Service

light is on will identify the fault through a series of red light blinks. Pressing and holding the

Empty button will clear the service fault lights.

Some of these faults will cause TrueSTEAM to shut down and enter Service mode, and some

can be recovered if the fault condition no longer exists after 1 hour (as indicated in column 3).

After 5 retries within 24 hours of any individual shutdown fault, the unit will enter Service mode

and will not try to recover until the power has been cycled. The retry counter will reset every 24

hours on time if it has not reached the maximum of 5 retries. The control will return to Ready

mode after all the faults have been recovered.
