The AprilAire Model 56 Low Voltage 8-Wire Automatic Humidifier Control (Humidistat) works with your AprilAire Whole Home Humidifier to accurately maintain the relative humidity in your home. When using the included Outdoor Temperature Sensor with Automatic Mode, every 1 degree Fahrenheit change in outdoor temperature will prompt the Automatic Humidifier Control to adjust the indoor relative humidity (RH) by 1/2%. This Humidistat may also be used in Manual Mode if you prefer to adjust the humidity setting yourself.
