INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new humidier.
The Honeywell Electrode Steam humidier provides the high performance and efciency of steam, with easier
maintenance than traditional humidiers.
We are sure the Electrode Steam will be a welcome addition to your home.
• How is the Electrode Steam different from other humidiers?
- The steam goes directly into your hot air supply duct, rather than evaporating from a wet pad, which requires
furnace temperature to produce humidity efciently.
- The Electrode Steam delivers humidity independent of your furnace. This allows you to achieve ideal humidity
levels in your home, year-round.
- The Electrode Steam wastes less water than ow-through humidiers.
- The Electrode Steam operates automatically, just like a thermostat, to keep your home’s humidity at the
desired level.
- The Electrode Steam is easy to maintain. Just have your HVAC professional change the steam cylinder when
the unit determines its life is about to expire.
• What safety features does the Electrode Steam have?
- Separate sensors and water monitoring (via the electrodes and software) monitor water within the tank. These
two important components prevent the tank from being over-lled, running dry, and optimize steam production
with various water qualities.
- The auto-adaptive feature monitors the Electrode Steam humidier’s water supply, current, and load. The unit
also self-tests on a regular basis, letting you know when the unit should be serviced.
• How should I get started? Your Electrode Steam must be installed by an HVAC Professional Installer. If the
Electrode Steam has just been installed, it should either be running and humidifying your home, or waiting for a
humidity call from the humidity control provided.
Once the Electrode Steam is up and running, all you have to do is use the humidity control to change the
humidity to your desired comfort.
Welcome!
Please read this manual completely for tips on getting the most out of your Electrode Steam.
Read your humidity control manual and make sure you know how to operate your system.
If you have questions, now or later, please ask your Installer or call Honeywell Customer Care
at 1-800-468-1502.

Electrode Steam
Steam Generation
• Once the unit receives a demand signal and the safety loop between terminal 1 and 2 is closed, the humidier
closes the contactor and measures the electrical current.
• If the demand is lower than the actual output the inlet valve is kept closed and output is reduced by letting the
water level in the cylinder decrease by evaporation.
• If demand is higher than the actual output, after a brief delay the ll valve is activated and water ows into the
ll cup. Water from the ll cup ows into the bottom of the cylinder through a hose connected to the drain valve
housing.
Note: The cylinder is gravity fed from the ll cup. If backpressure from the steam line is too high it will cause water
to back up in the ll cup and ow down the overow line to the drain.
• As soon as the water in the cylinder comes in contact with the energized electrodes, current ows through
the water. The resistance of the water to the electrical charge generates heat and in turn steam. The electrical
current (and steam output) increases as the level of water increases, as more of the electrode becomes
submerged. The unit continues to ll until the current matches demand or the high water sensor detects a high
water level.
• The Electrode Steam repeats the ll and boil down cycle repeatedly to match output to demand.
• Over time minerals in the water will adhere to the cylinder electrodes. The humidier will automatically ll to a
higher water level to maintain full capacity during the life of the cylinder. Eventually because of scale formation
it will no longer be possible for the humidier to reach its full capacity. The Electrode Steam software monitors
this condition and, when detected, will stop operating and ash the yellow LED in a repeating sequence of 4
ashes.
Drains
• As steam is produced, minerals are left behind, increasing the conductivity of the water. The Electrode Steam
patented auto adaptive cycle will monitor the water conductivity and perform drains to maintain the water at
optimal conductivity for peak performance.
• The auto adaptive cycle ensures cylinder life is maximized. It does this by keeping the tightest control and most
efcient use of water during the entire cylinder life.
Steam Distribution
Steam generated by the humidier may be introduced into the air in several different ways. The most common
method for adding the steam into the air is to mount a steam distributor tube in a supply air duct.
Steam Line
The steam line between the cylinder steam outlet and the distributor serves two purposes: it is used as a conduit
to transfer the atmospheric steam from the humidier to the distributor, as well as providing a means to remove
condensate.
Condensate Return
Whenever steam is distributed condensate is formed in the distribution system. Insulating steam lines is one
important way to reduce the amount of condensate formed. Steam lines are sloped so that condensate does not
collect in the lines and create a restriction to steam ow. The condensate must be collected and removed from the
system so that it does not build up and leak into the duct. Condensate can be returned to the Electrode Steam ll
cup to reduce water waste or can be fed to drain.

YOUR NEW
Electrode Steam
The Electrode Steam is available in two sizes, each with a different humidifying capacity:
The Electrode Steam produces 11 gallons per day (GPD) when run on 120 V and 22 GPD when run on
240 V. It is generally suitable for homes 8,000 to 32,000 cubic feet in size.
Which Electrode Steam model do I have?
The proper model for your home depends on many factors.
Size of the area to be humidied, ceiling height, window
and insulation type, as well as your geographic area, all
affect how much humidity your
home needs.
Some activities in your home may create heavier loads for
the Electrode Steam. Vented replaces, high exhaust from
fans, or driers can reduce humidity in your home and make
the Electrode Steam work harder.
Your Professional Installer or salesperson will have
considered these and other factors when choosing the best
Electrode Steam model for your unique situation.
Sizing
IMPORTANT: The Electrode Steam should only be installed if it has been sized properly. Do not use square feet
when sizing a humidier installation. Instead, cubic feet must be used, since the humidity is lling a volume of
space (width x length x height). Also, take into consideration the “tightness” of a home’s construction.

YOUR NEW
Electrode Steam
Honeywell wants to make sure you know what to expect from your new Electrode Steam installation. Make sure
you discuss these items with your Professional Installer:
• Achieving Humidity Setpoint. It may take up to a week of continuous operation to initially achieve the
humidity setpoint. This depends on factors such as weather, size of home, furnishings in the home, and
insulation. Once this is achieved, the Electrode Steam should not have to run as much to maintain humidity.
• On/Off Noise. When the humidier starts up after being off, the unit will run a self-test sequence and may a
“click” noise, engaging the ll & drain valves. This is normal .
• Ideal Humidity. 35% relative humidity in typical winter weather is considered ideal for indoor comfort by
industry experts. You can adjust to your own comfort or until there is condensation on the windows. Lower the
setpoint if condensation appears.
• Unit Not Humidifying. If the Electrode Steam is not running but the humidity is below the desired setting, the
humidity control may have a frost protection setting. See “What is a frost setting?” on page 10. The Cylinder
may also be at the end of its life, in which case you will be notied by the LED sequence.
• Setpoint Not Reached. If humidity doesn’t reach the setpoint, the Electrode Steam may be under-sized for the
home. This can be due to insulation, windows, arid climate, and other environmental factors. Also, the outdoor
temperature may be too low to maintain the humidity level.
• Home Ventilation. Excessive ventilation exhausts humidied air and replaces it with dry air. This can make it
hard to maintain the humidity setpoint. If you are installing a ventilator, use a solution that retains moisture. An
Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is recommended.
• LED Status Lights. The HM700 user interface includes 2 LEDs that provide information about the humidier
status. Please see “What do the lights tell me?” on page 11 for more information.
• Water Draining. It is normal for the Electrode Steam to periodically drain some water automatically. This is
due to the humidier maintaining the perfect level of water conductivity and steam output.
• Water Conductivity. Your home’s water conductivity determines how quickly the Electrode Steam will produce
steam and also how often the replacement steam cylinder needs to be replaced.
• Energy Consumption. You may notice a slight increase in overall energy consumption when operating
any humidier. However, the Electrode Steam will make the home feel warmer. This allows you to lower the
temperature setting on the thermostat. Every degree lower on the thermostat can save up to 3% on heating
costs.
