Frequently Asked Questions - HE365A HONEYWELL

How do I install the Honeywell HE365A humidifier?

Install the humidifier on the supply or return plenum of your furnace. Connect the water supply (1/4 in. saddle valve) and drain line (1/2 in. tube). Wire the solenoid valve to a 24 VAC source (usually from furnace transformer). Mount the included humidistat in your living space and wire it to the solenoid.

How often should I replace the water panel?

It is recommended to replace the water panel at least once per year, typically at the beginning of the heating season. If you have hard water, more frequent replacement may be needed.

Why is my humidifier not producing humidity?

First, check that the water supply valve is open and the drain line is clear. Ensure the humidistat is set above the current room humidity. Verify that the solenoid valve is receiving 24 VAC and operating. Also, check that the furnace blower is running and the bypass duct is open.

Can I install this humidifier on any furnace?

The HE365A is designed for forced-air furnaces. It requires a bypass duct to allow air to flow through the humidifier. Ensure your furnace has space on the plenum for mounting and a nearby 24 VAC power source.

What is the recommended humidity setting?

For winter, keep humidity between 30-45% to prevent condensation on windows. In very cold climates, lower the setting to avoid frost. Your humidistat can be adjusted seasonally.

How do I clean the humidifier?

Turn off the water and power. Remove the cover and water panel. Wipe down the interior with a mild detergent and rinse. Clean the drain tube and orifice. Replace the water panel annually.

Why is water leaking from my humidifier?

Check the drain line for clogs or kinks. Ensure the humidifier is level. Inspect the water panel for excessive wear or debris. The solenoid valve may be stuck open; replace if necessary.

What type of water panel does the HE365A use?

It uses Honeywell HC22P water panel or equivalent. The panel size is approximately 12 in. x 10 in.

Does the humidifier require a drain?

Yes, it is a flow-through model that requires a drain line to a floor drain or approved drain. The water flows over the panel and drains away continuously.

Can I use the humidifier without a humidistat?

No, a humidistat is required to control the operation. The HE365A includes a manual humidistat that must be installed in the living space to turn the humidifier on and off based on humidity levels.

IMPORTANT

Please read these instructions and keep them in your records.

Your Enviracaire Elite™ HE365A Humidifier from Honeywell is controlled by the H8908B Convertible Humidity Control. The convertible humidity control is installed either on an interior wall in the living area, or on the return air duct. Choose the humidity control setting using the combination relative humidity/outdoor temperature setting scale on your humidity control dial. Match the dial setting to the outdoor temperature for optimizing the humidity level while reducing the moisture condensation on your windows. The table below can also be used to adjust the humidity control to the recommended setting.

At Outside Temperature	Recommended Control Setting	At Outside Temperature	Recommended Control Setting
-20°F (-29°C) 15	+10°F (-12°C) 30
-10°F (-23°C) 20	+20°F (-7°C) 35
0°F (-18°C) 25 Above	20°F (-7°C) 40

NOTE: As the outside temperature drops, the recommended humidity control setting is lowered to accommodate for effects of dewpoint. These settings should reduce the accumulation of moisture and ice on your windows and in other areas of your home.

Some indoor activities such as cooking, showering and clothes drying can cause excessive levels of humidity and start the accumulation of moisture on your windows.

NOTE: If this condition persists for more than a few hours, set the humidity control to the lowest setting to turn off the humidifier. If the condition does not improve, ventilate your home to remove the moisture.

HE365B

Your Enviracaire Elite™ HE365B Humidifier is controlled by the Honeywell H1008 Automatic Humidity Control with HumidCalc+™. The automatic humidity control is mounted in the return air duct where it can be exposed to the air stream of the return air.

The HumidCalc+™ software inside your automatic humidity control is designed to measure or infer outdoor temperature and automatically adjust the humidity based on the frost factor setting that the homeowner sets to allow for variances in furnace size, window type and insulation.

The Automatic Humidity Control with HumidiCalc+™ requires some initial adjustments when you first install your HE365B. For maximum humidification, set the H1008 to 10 and run the fan continuously. Check for condensation on windows after a cold night. If there is no condensation, leave the setting at 10. If there is condensation, lower the frost factor dial one setting. Continue to check for condensation on cold mornings until the correct humidity setting is reached for your home. Allow two days between adjustments to determine if further adjustment is necessary. Once you have tuned in the proper setting, you should never have to adjust it again. HumidiCalc+™ takes over and makes any future adjustments caused by varying outdoor temperatures, thus reducing moisture build-up on windows while maintaining the optimal humidity level.

Humidity Level Recommended Setting
Insufficient humidity Increase the frost	factor dial by one setting.
Condensation on windows Decrease	the frost factor dial by one setting.

Your Enviracaire Elite™ humidifier uses the principle that vapor (evaporated water) is created when warm air blows over a water soaked area. As the vapor circulates, the relative humidity rises.

Your humidity control monitors the relative humidity and activates the humidifier accordingly. The humidifier has a water supply that dispenses water evenly over the AgION ^™ antimicrobial humidifier pad. The warm dry air, from the furnace, passes over the humidifier pad and picks up the moist air to circulate it throughout your home.

Humidified air feels warmer and more comfortable so you may be able to lower your thermostat heating setpoint, which saves money on your heating fuel bills. The end result is that your humidifier gives you a cleaner, more comfortable environment that is also energy efficient.

MAINTAINING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

.A regular maintenance program prolongs the life of your humidifier and provides a more comfortable home. Frequency of cleaning depends on the condition of your water. You can use either hard or soft water in your humidifier, but hard water mineral deposits are more difficult to clean than soft water deposits. For optimum performance, Honeywell recommends replacing the AgION™ antimicrobial pad once a year. Use the following procedure to clean your Honeywell humidifier.
