HE360 Install on Carrier Confort 80

I just purchased the HE360a humidifier that comes with an install kit. I have read in other posts that I will not need the pressure switch (which was included) if I connect power straight to the furnace board. I have a Carrier Comfort 80 model #58DLA090-14. I will just connect the humidistat to the humidifier through the black and yellow wires. The furnace is close to hot or cold water through PVC pipe. From there I will need a little guidance. Pictures would be great!! I am sure I can handle the install, but I can't afford down time with the temp around 30.

Thanks,
Scott

I finished most of the install and seems to work great. I need help with the wiring. I currently have the wires from humidistat to humidifier and no pressure switch installed, so the he360 just constantly runs when plugged into wall outlet. I would like to have the humidifier only kick on when the heater is running, is this possible?? Thanks

There's 24v HUM connection on the board.. so, there's two things we can do..

1-Use a relay between the 24 Hum, and the humidifier itself.

or

2-Put an outlet on the side of the furnace, and wire it to the EAC hook up, and then plug the humidifier into the outlet that power up when the blower starts.

I will have to wire an outlet close to furnace anyway, so I will install outlet on furnace and connect to EAC. Any gotchas I should know about doing option 2?? This will also run when AC is going??

Thanks for all the help!

In the summer, yes if the humidity is below set point it will come on... So make sure you turn the dial to off in the summer.

Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers
Aprilaire 700 Install in Rheem Air Handler with no board

C

calpwm on Jan 14, 2014

Hi All, So we bought our first house and it has a pretty old (1995/6) electric Heat Pump and Air Handler. The backup is electric as well. The air is REALLY dry, well under 30% I think the low we had was 22%. Anyway it's been reeking havoc on our noses and skin. So I researched and bought a Aprilaire 700 whole house humidifier with Model 60 Digital Humidistat. I really like the features but in the beginning I will just be wiring the simplest way possible. I'm not worrying about the blower only function and am not wiring the outdoor sensor at the moment. But that part does not seem like it will be hard. I did the duct install, as well as the water hookup. But then when I went to wire it I'm now stumped. The two brown wires were easy enough. But my Air Handler does not have a board so the wiring diagram which I was iffy on before is now like greek to me. I still need to wire the R&C (power) via the provided transformer and W (Heat notification) tying in somewhere in the mess of wires I am guessing. Air handler: Rheem RBHA-21J20SFAA Humidifier: Aprilaire 700 Humidistat: Aprilaire Model 60 Here are some shots: Air handler [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oYxP3rn.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fW1aUnE.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FdsTuL5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YgCjo2y.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Uoxzqc1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/b2Fv7Rh.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qg6kZXX.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FaevieP.jpg[/IMG] Transformer that came with 700 120v to 24v [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oIJUGDe.jpg[/IMG] So my questions/problems are: 1. If I'm reading it right there isn't any 120v line to tie the transformer into? How do I tackle that problem? The transformer is the thing I'm least comfortable with and might just have to hire an HVAC person to finish this off =[ 2. I'm not sure what to wire to the heat sensor location on the humidistat location W. I am guessing maybe the Heater Relay but I'm really clueless and if that is what I need to tie into I have no idea how exactly. I'm normally a pretty handy guy but I might have bit off more than I can chew. I should have looked first, I assumed I'd have a nice little labeled board and it would be a cinch. =] Thanks for any help you can provide!!

Installing Humidifier next to AC evap coils

bigrig on Jan 04, 2014

I'm looking to install an Aprilaire 700 - I was concerned the only location on the supply side was next to the AC coils - but based on info here and in the installation instructions, I should be good to go, correct? Coils are Lennox C34 [url]http://www.lennoxcommercial.com/products/split-systems/CX34/[/url] Should I try to mount it as high on the enclosure as possible? Thanks, Matt [IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7410/11759002935_75523959f2_c.jpg[/IMG]
