Description
The OE265-06 Wall Mounted Humidistat
is used with the HVAC unit controller to
initiate dehumidification when the relative
humidity in the space rises above the
user adjustable setpoint. It is designed to
be mounted on the wall in the space
where sensing is required.
The Wall Mounted Humidistat is adjust-
able for relative humidity between 10%
to 90% with a differential relative humidity
of 5%.
The electrical switch on the Humidstat is
a snap-acting SPDT type. The switch is
rated at 8 Amps resistive load and 60 VA
pilot duty load at 24 VAC.
The Humidistat is enclosed in a beige
plastic housing with a removable cover.
The cover face is of brushed bronze with
relative humidity markings indicating
relative humidity setpoints between 10%
to 90%. A removable dial is provided for
the adjustment of the relative humidity
setpoint. The Humidistat is also provided
with a blank cover plate to facilitate tam-
per proof installations. The external set-
point cover plate is first removed and
then the blank cover plate is installed. An
Allen screw and 5/64” Allen wrench is
also provided to complete the tamper proof hardware..
Six inch long color coded leads are provided on the back of the Humidistat base for wiring connections. A green
grounding lead is provided for grounding requirements.
Mounting
The Humidistat can be mounted to a flush or surface switch box using the provided screws. It can also be
mounted directly to the wall if your wiring codes allow for mounting of 24 Volt devices without a switch box.
Mounting screws for direct wall mounting must be provided by others.
