cycle blower motor fan and humidifier simultaneously.

For H1008 Automatic Humidity Control wiring 
connections:

IMPORTANT

• Current sensing relay or sail switch is not needed with the 

Automatic Humidity Control.

• Use 18-22 gauge insulated wire for proper wiring. We 

recommend stranded - tinned wire.

Connect 24 Vac power to the 24 Vac HOT and COM terminals on 

the H1008A.

14.

Connect the humidifier to the two HUM terminals on the 

H1008A as shown in Fig. 8.

For additional mounting and wiring information, refer to the Humidity 

Control installation instructions.

For Perfect Climate Comfort Center

 Control 

connections:

1.

Connect only the two yellow wires to the W8900 (red wire con-

nections are not used). See the typical wiring diagram in 

Fig. 9.

For additional mounting and wiring information, refer to the Perfect 

Climate Comfort Center

 installation instructions.

Plumbing Saddle Valve

Hot or cold water, either hard or softened, can be used in the 

humidifier. 

1.

1.

Use the self-piercing saddle valve (included) to tap into the water 

supply line at an appropriate location.

CAUTION

Chemical Hazard.

Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.

Do not use any line connected to an air conditioner.

IMPORTANT

• •The saddle valve is not designed to regulate water flow; the 

valve is either open or closed.

• •To prevent debris from clogging the solenoid in-line filter, be 

sure to install the saddle valve handle pointing toward the 

ceiling.

NOTE: Lightly clean the copper tubing ends with fine sandpaper 

before making any connections.

Fig. 8. Typical wiring diagram for humidifier using TrueIAQ.

2.

Use 1/4 in. O.D. copper tubing and connect the saddle valve to 

the inlet side of the solenoid valve.

a. Place the brass compression nut over the copper tubing.

b. Slide the brass ferrule over the tubing. 

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the compression nut. Moderate 

tightness prevents leaking. 

c. Insert the tubing into the solenoid valve fitting and support 

the valve while tightening the compression nut. 

NOTE: Slope hose downward for correct drainage.

3.

Connect a 1/2 in. hose to the humidifier drain fitting and run it to a 

suitable drain.

CHECKOUT

1.

Open the saddle valve.

NOTE: The furnace blower must be on for the humidifier to 

operate.

2.

Set the thermostat setpoint 10°F (6°C) above the room

temperature.

3.

Set the humidity control to a high humidity setting, or place the 

setting in the test position.

4.

Observe the water running out of the drain line to be sure the 

humidifier is working correctly.

5.

Check for leaks.

6.

Reset the thermostat to a comfortable setting or the Automatic 

Humidity Control to the desired frost factor setting.
