Honeywell HE360A Humidistat Position

I have installed Honeywell HE360A and for the most part it is working fine, but I still have couple of questions.

1. Where is the best place to put humidistat? I do not use sail switch, so does it matter where you set it?

2. I assume humidifier will start right after you turn knob on humidistat (would click somewhere by 0), but mine clicks to start it somewhere around 35. Is that normal, or would this issue be related to my first question?

I appreciate your assistance.

You can put the humisitat any where on the return, or in the living space by the t-stat.

If it's clicking around 35%, then the humidity in the home is around that point. When you turn it back off, should click again.. about 3 to 5% swing.

Thanks for reply, Jay.
OK, do I need to cut an opening on the return for humidistat? On the included humidistat template it says "cut along doted line", but in the installation instructions (for humidistat) there is noting that indicates cutting.

Yes, you need to cut the duct if you are putting it on the return duct. Cut as show on the template.
