    Aprilaire 600 Problem

    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?

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

    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.....

    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....

    Hmm

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