Aprilaire 600 to 500 swap not working

Hello, I had an Aprilaire 600 that I was using in Manual Mode so when i needed a new humidifier I purchased another aprilaire thinking that since the wiring was done by a professional I could just swap the wires and be done. That doesn't seem to be the case. I purchased a new Aprilaire 500 digital and placed the wires in the same configuration except i ran the wire for the ODT so that I was not in manual mode any longer. I do not have the thermostat (ecobee4) running it though. Once i was completed i started the furnace (goodman installed 2011) and I put it in Test\Reset mode and no water released. I checked to make sure the Saddle Valve was open and plenty of water can run straight through but the when i connect it and run the test it does not trigger it to flow. PS i did just tonight add the old humidifier controller on and it will trigger it. I added the old wiring pic and the new wiring pic is there something else that needs connected for the digital controller? when do i need to use the transformer that was included

 

The new humidistat wires/works a little differently. It's a better design.

Move the red solenoid wire to the R terminal. Add a short jumper from C to where the red solenoid wire was.
You have a three wire cable that supplies R and C. Use the green wire. Connect it to W on that h'stat and W on the furnace board. That should do it. The diagram illustrates the connections.

 

Pete that worked perfectly thanks. What did I do with the "W" cable though. why did i have to bring that from the furnace to the humidistat?

 

On the new humidistat...W tells it to turn on.
