I have a new aprilaire 600 installed humidifier. on a Trane Heat pump humidifier. I think I have a bad humdifier control "Stat".

The humdifier will not flow water in test mode,auto or manual mode.
24v power is getting to the control "stat" "R\C" but no power is coming out "The two H leads".

This this mean the stat is bad or could be something else. I am checking for power at the stat leads. Also should the stat "R\C" leads have power only when the fan blower is running?

Call the installer

I agree with Roscoe, they wired it incorrectly. Ask them to send their senior tech. over so it is done properly.

 

[jvarney]

But....should it have power going out of the stat.....what could be mis-wired since it has power to it and done coming from it in all modes...

 

[Roscoe]

Call the installer

Why are you messing with it, they can and will step off the warranty. I would

Why would you troubleshoot someone elses work? Did you install this yourself?

We can't give diy advice.

Is the water tap ON?

 

[jvarney]

Yes I have already verified that the water is on and flowing if I remove the tube on..... The wiring looks very sample and would just like to know if I have power coming in should it have power coming out of the stat to the humidifier. It could be a very few things wrong.....

 

[Roscoe]

As I said call your installer orrrrrrrrrr figurer it out yourself

It is apparently over your head, call the installer.

 

[jvarney]

yes power or no power out?

 

[jvarney]

Plus how do you know if I am not a installer..

 

[4l530]

IF you were an installer you would know...?

 

[jvarney]

Would can't you say yes or no.........

 

[4l530]

Because it's just not that clear cut.

 

[trey r]

Yes or No.

Again read sit rules!

 

[billva]

I see a new transformer in the works here. Or worse, a board. ($$$)

 

[Roscoe]

Plus how do you know if I am not a installer..

ahhhhhh,,,,,,,,,,,

you're kidding right, well then you better call your service guy......


ahhh crap
yeh sorry some installers are really stupid.

Sounds to me like this is an autotrac control. Why didn"t you know that.

 

[jvarney]

Thanks Hvac_Superman.... That is what I thought since that is only way the humidifier it will get power.... the other problem it has power all the time with fan or not, they have it power ran wrong and could have shorted out the stat....

You need to test it with the furnace running. They don't normally run without the furnance running.
