Can it be set up to turn ON/OFF a small humidifier to keep humidity in a space to a selected humidity (45% in my case)?
1488984
Yes, that is what it is designed to do. This is also what I use it for (to run exhaust fans). Although keep in mind that youll have to cut the end off the humidifier as the device only has bare wire connectors.
1488985
I would think so as long as the device can handle the watts that power the dehumidifier. The manual should cover these specifications.
1488986
Yes, that's what I use it for. It doesn't come with a case, so I bought a utility box at Radio Shack and put the unit in the front of the box and an outlet in the back. The unit has a relay that can be used to control the power to the outlet. (In other words, some assembly is required.) I have been using mine for about a year, and it's been doing fine.
1488987
Yes however you will either need to cut the power plug off of your humidifier and wire it directly or wire the controller to an outlet that you can then plug your humidifier into.
1488988
Yes but you will need an electrical enclosure, outlets and safety equipment. There is an all in one unit on Amazon with a built in receptacle if you dont feel qualified to put this'd one into a system.

I have used this product to control a crane humidifyer in the range of 70 to 90%. I used this device to control a solid state relay that turns on a 120VAC receptacle into which the humidfyer is plugged. I have confirmed the sensor calibration at 70%. I've used it fot two years and think it has been a very economical solution for my application. I can not provide assurance of its accuracy at 45% - though I think it would probably be fine.

Yes, there is a humidity button for choosing anywhere from 40 to 60%. Auto off at that level.

Sorry I'm late on the response! You can set the humidity level right on top of the unit.. I leave mine at 45% because I have a damp basement that stays very cool but humid if I didn't answer the question you were asking please let me know thanks for asking my opinion Pete

No. This unit only has 1 output. It can be used to either control humidification OR dehumidification. As said in other answers, you would need 2 units.

I love this dehumidifier! However, I bought it to solve a problem in a very small space, on purpose, because I also needed it to keep the space above freezing in winter. It does have the ability to be set for a specific humidity, if you want, of 40, 50, or 60%, another thing I love about it, as I need it to prevent mold so keep it set at 40%, and it does a great job. Hope you get your answer for the size space you need.

The humidity level can be adjusted and the duration the fan stays on after being triggered is also adjustable, If the humidity raises above the set level the fan is activated. So yes you could keep the area at a specific level or below.

Yes it can. I've paired mines with the moisture switch. I haven't got the bathroom to a high humidity yet to have it automatically turn on, but I've tested it and it works as promised.

It is supposed to do that, but i have bought two an none of them worked for humidity. It only gives you temperature

This humidistat is a mechanical switch. It's non-powered. So whatever you put it in series with it will turn on and shut off depending on the setting and ambient humidity. As humidity rises above the setpoint, at some point above the deadband the switch will open. When humidity falls below the setpoint, at some point the switch will close. The deadband is 5% of the ambient humidity. I have mine connected to an 120VAC circuit and it works fine. I do not know how many amps it can handle but the connections are 18AWG solid which can handle 14amps. I would not try to load it that high...maybe 10 amps tops. If you are wiring it in series with a solenoid it should be fine because solenoid current is usually in the milliamp range. So the answer is yes if the solenoid you are connecting it to turns on the humidifier. The wiring is also rated to 300VAC so provided you are using voltage under that you should also be fine.

I don't see why it would be an issue. The only thing I can think of is that it will not turn on until the ambient humidity exceeds the setting you have on the humidistat. I have thought about putting one in my garage, but I'd rather have one with a thermostat instead of a humidistat. If humidity is your concern, you shouldn't have any problems. As far as the size of your window - you may need to add a wooden flange within the window opening in order to fit the unit.

I would not recommend that. There is an inline control switch which may not handle the humidity well in a sauna or steam room.

This is a mechanical humidistat switch. If you are asking can it kick on your A/C unit the same way your thermostat can...yes. It has hysteresis "live" band just like the thermostat where it will be on for a certain range of humidity around the setpoint. I recommend wiring it with a relay because it will turn on when the humidity is low. Using it with an A/C unit, you want it to turn on when the humidity is high. Using it with a relay, you can reverse the logic and make the relay close when the humidistat turns off. If you wire in series with your thermostat, then the A/C will only kick on when the temp and humidity are high. If you wire in parallel with the thermostat, then the A/C will kick on when the temp or humidity is high, which might be closer to what you want, although the humidity could be high when the temp is low...so not sure about that.

No, you cannot. You need to get the higer level model for that. According to manual, this unit has preset humidity level target for 60 percent.

You need to purchase the Prestige iAQ comfort system for the humidity control. The Honeywell model we bought does not do this. Thanks

yes. you only want humidifier on when fan is funning. you will need a 12 v transformer.

The unit works like any on/off thermostat or humidistat. If the unit is set for say 75% humidity and the hysteresis is set at 2 then the unit will run until it it reaches 75 then turn off. The unit will come back on at 73%. (75-2=73). The LS (low set point) and HS (high set point) are only there so that the set number cannot be set outside of that range. The ls and hs have nothing to do with when the unit shuts off (or on). if ls is 50 and hs is 60 then you cannot set a set point below the 50 or above the 60. Hope all that makes sense.
