INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your new humidiﬁer.

The Honeywell TrueSTEAM humidiﬁcation system provides the high performance and efﬁciency of steam, with

easier maintenance than traditional humidiﬁers.

We are sure TrueSTEAM will be a welcome addition to your home.

How is TrueSTEAM different from other humidiﬁers?•

- The steam goes directly into your hot air supply duct, rather than evaporating from a wet pad, which

requires furnace temperature to produce humidity efﬁciently.

- TrueSTEAM delivers humidity independent of your furnace. This allows you to achieve ideal humidity levels

in your home, year-round.

- TrueSTEAM wastes less water than ﬂow-through humidiﬁers.

- TrueSTEAM operates automatically, just like a thermostat, to keep your home’s humidity at the desired level.

- TrueSTEAM is easy to maintain. Just clean the tank as instructed. The tank is easily accessible and does not

require tools to remove it.

What safety features does TrueSTEAM have?•

- An interlock switch located inside the water tank shuts off 120 VAC power to TrueSTEAM when the tank

is removed.

- Three sets of sensors constantly monitor water level in the tank. The sensors prevent the tank from being

over-ﬁlled and from running dry.

How should I get started?• Your TrueSTEAM must be installed by an HVAC Professional Installer. If the

TrueSTEAM 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 TrueSTEAM 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 TrueSTEAM.

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.

INTRODUCTION

1. A call for humidity comes from the humidity control

provided with TrueSTEAM. The humidity control is

connected to TrueSTEAM, either with wires or by

wireless connection.

2. The heating element coil heats water in the tank to

the boiling point.

3. The resulting steam ﬂows out of TrueSTEAM into

the hot air supply duct of your HVAC system. If

remote mounting is used, the steam ﬂows through

an insulated steam hose from TrueSTEAM to your

supply duct.

4. Air ﬂow from your furnace fan carries the moisture

throughout your home. Your furnace may or

may not be heating the air, depending on your

thermostat setting and TrueSTEAM conﬁguration.

5. When humidity in your home reaches the setpoint,

the humidity call ends and TrueSTEAM stops

producing steam. The furnace fan may continue

to run until humidity in the duct is completely

distributed to your home.

6. Sensors monitor water level in the tank. The built-in

solenoid valve opens and closes to automatically

reﬁll the tank, as needed. During long periods of

inactivity, the tank will drain completely to prevent

water stagnating. The tank will automatically reﬁll

when there is demand for humidity.

YOUR NEW

TrueSTEAM

TrueSTEAM is available in three sizes, each with a different humidifying capacity:

The proper model for your home depends on many factors. Size of the area to be humidiﬁed, 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 TrueSTEAM. Vented ﬁreplaces, high exhaust from

fans, or driers can reduce humidity in your home and make TrueSTEAM work harder.

Your Professional Installer or salesperson will have considered these and other factors when choosing the best

TrueSTEAM model for your unique situation.

M29668

This label displays the model number and date code

of your TrueSTEAM.

HM506 Delivers up to 6 gallons of water each day into your home. This is generally suitable for homes

4,000 to 14,400 cubic feet in size.

HM509 Delivers up to 9 gallons of water each day into your home. It is generally suitable for homes

8,000 to 18,400 cubic feet in size.

HM512 Delivers up to 12 gallons of water each day into your home. This model is generally suitable for

homes 12,000 to 24,000 cubic feet in size.

Which humidity control do I have?

YOUR NEW

TrueSTEAM

Your HVAC Professional Installer will install TrueSTEAM in a proper location in your home. The best location

depends on your furnace type and conﬁguration, and how your living space is arranged around the furnace

ducts. Your TrueSTEAM will be either duct mounted or remote mounted.

Duct mounting. TrueSTEAM is installed directly onto

the supply (hot) air duct of your furnace. The steam

nozzle sends steam directly from TrueSTEAM into the

duct for distribution through your home.

Remote mounting. TrueSTEAM is installed some

distance away from your furnace supply duct. An

insulated hose carries steam from TrueSTEAM to a

suitable location on the supply duct.

Remote mounting is usually done when a suitable

mounting location can not be found on your

furnace duct.

M29671

Your TrueSTEAM installation includes the following parts and components that you should be familiar with:

Cold Water Connection with Shutoff ValveA.

Provides the connection from TrueSTEAM to your

home’s cold water pipe. Your Professional Installer

may have used the saddle valve that came with

TrueSTEAM, or may have chosen a different type

of connection. This connection must include

a shutoff valve for you to turn off water ﬂow to

TrueSTEAM, if necessary.

IMPORTANT: TrueSTEAM requires cold water.

Do not connect a hot water supply to TrueSTEAM.

Water Supply LineB.

This 1/4-inch line brings cold water to TrueSTEAM

from a water pipe in your home. Your Professional

Installer may have used the plastic line provided or

a copper pipe, as appropriate.

In-line Water Filter C.

It is likely the installer provided a water ﬁlter on

the water supply line leading to TrueSTEAM.

This helps minimize mineral deposits forming

in TrueSTEAM’s tank. For optimal performance,

replace this water ﬁlter once each humidiﬁcation

season. See “How do I change the water ﬁlter?”

on page 19.

Shutoff Valve and Backﬂow PreventerD.

This valve was provided by Honeywell and is

required by code. It prevents water from ﬂowing

backward in the water supply line.

YOUR NEW

TrueSTEAM

Power CordE.

TrueSTEAM is plugged into a 120 volt AC

household electrical outlet. The power cord

provided is 6 feet long.

Water Drain LineF.

This 1/2-inch hose drains water from TrueSTEAM

to a drain in your home. The tank is drained

automatically when TrueSTEAM performs an

automatic ﬂush cycle, and at the end of the

humidiﬁcation season. You may also drain the tank

manually in order to clean the tank or perform

additional maintenance.

Safety Release ButtonG.

This button prevents the tank release lever from

accidentally moving forward and releasing the

water tank. Press and hold the button down to

move the lever forward.

Ventilation HolesH.

These holes provide airﬂow for the electronic

components inside the TrueSTEAM cover. Normal

maintenance includes keeping these holes clean.

TrueSTEAM CoverI.

TrueSTEAM wiring connections and electronic

components are located behind the cover. There

are no homeowner-serviceable parts here, and

the cover should only be removed by a qualiﬁed

HVAC Service Technician.

Tank Release LeverJ.

This lever locks the water tank in place on

TrueSTEAM. Press the safety release button, then

pull the lever forward to release the water tank

when removing for cleaning or service.

IMPORTANT: Only remove the tank after it is

completely empty. See “How do I clean the tank?”

on page 16.

Light Display K.

The six lights are on or blinking to indicate

TrueSTEAM’s operational status and when service

is required. See “What do the lights tell me?” on

page 13.

TrueSTEAM ButtonsL.

The two buttons are the only controls located

on TrueSTEAM. They are seldom used by the

homeowner. (Remember, day-to-day operation is

done using your humidity control.) Use the Drain

button to manually drain the water tank. Use the

Go button to reset TrueSTEAM when restarting the

system. See “When will I press the Drain and Go

buttons?” on page 14.

Water TankM.

The tank holds the water that TrueSTEAM heats and

converts to steam. The tank can be removed

for cleaning.

Manual Shutoff ValveN.

Turn this valve by hand to either of two positions:

Lock: The valve will be locked during operation.

This turns the water supply on and locks the

solenoid valve in place. (TrueSTEAM uses the

solenoid valve to control water ﬂow into the tank.)

Unlock: Turning the valve to “Unlock” seals the

bottom of the tank and the water supply to avoid

leaks when performing manual cleaning of the tank.

It also disengages the solenoid valve so that you

can push the solenoid back in its base to release

the tank. Once this is done, you can pull the tank

release lever forward to remove the tank

for cleaning. See “How do I clean the tank?” on

page 16.

YOUR NEW

TrueSTEAM

Honeywell wants to make sure you know what to expect from your new TrueSTEAM 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, TrueSTEAM should not have to run as much to maintain humidity.

Plastic or Rubber Odor.• When the humidiﬁer starts up after the initial installation, it is normal to smell a slight

plastic odor in the home. If the remote hose is used, there may be a slight rubber odor. These odors will go

away within a few days.

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 TrueSTEAM 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 12. Note that TrueSTEAM

will not humidify while in an automatic ﬂush cycle.

Setpoint Not Reached. • If humidity doesn’t reach the setpoint, TrueSTEAM 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. If the desired humidity is still not reached, then a

larger capacity TrueSTEAM may be needed.

Home Ventilation.• Excessive ventilation exhausts humidiﬁed 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.

Cleaning Required Light.• If the Cleaning Required light is on, clean TrueSTEAM using the steps found in

“How do I clean the tank?” on page 16. TrueSTEAM will continue to run normally while the Cleaning Required

light is on.

Hard Water.• Your home’s water hardness determines how often TrueSTEAM must be cleaned and how often

the water ﬁlter needs to be replaced.

Energy Consumption.• You may notice a slight increase in overall energy consumption when operating any

humidiﬁer. However, TrueSTEAM 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.

What should I expect from my TrueSTEAM?

TrueSTEAM Humidiﬁcation System 69-2286EFS—03

10

EVERYDAY

OPERATION

Once TrueSTEAM is installed and running, operation is automatic. Use the humidity control provided to make any

changes to the setpoint, or to turn TrueSTEAM on or off.

Your Professional Installer conﬁgured TrueSTEAM so that it only creates steam when conditions in your HVAC

system are right. Steam can only be produced when your system fan is blowing air through the duct.

Be sure to read the manual that came with your humidity control. Ask your Professional Installer if you have

questions about how to operate TrueSTEAM.

How do I use the humidity control?• Whenever humidity in the home is lower than the humidity control’s

setpoint, the control will call for humidity. Some controls will also monitor outdoor conditions to ensure indoor

humidity does not condense on windows and walls. Refer to the manual provided with your humidity control

for instructions on setting the control. There are two different types of humidity control:

How do I operate TrueSTEAM?

TrueSTEAM Humidiﬁcation System 69-2286EFS—03

11

Thermostat with integrated humidity

control (such as VisionPRO IAQ or

RedLINK Prestige).

This arrangement allows you to control

your furnace, central air conditioning, and

TrueSTEAM, all with one device.

Humidity control separate from the

thermostat (such as the H8908 or TrueIAQ).

With this arrangement, you will use your current

thermostat to control your furnace and central

air conditioning. Use the separate humidity

control to control your TrueSTEAM.

EVERYDAY

OPERATION

What should my humidity setpoint be? • The outdoor air temperature affects how much humidity can be

retained by the air in your home. Use this table as a starting point. Then adjust the humidity control to your

own comfort or until condensation appears on the windows.

What is a frost setting?• Some humidity controls (such as Prestige, VisionPRO IAQ, and True IAQ) contain

a Window Frost Protection feature which limits humidity output based on outdoor conditions. For example,

on colder days, the air in your home can hold less humidity. The humidity control automatically lowers the

humidity setpoint accordingly, to prevent frost from appearing on the inside of your windows.

Lower the frost setting by one value each morning that you see frost or condensation on windows. Allow 24

hours for the new setting to take effect before re-adjusting. Once you have this set to a comfortable level

without condensation, you will not need to adjust further. You can adjust your humidity setpoint without

worrying about condensation.

Manual humidity controls (such as the H8908) do not have built-in frost settings. They require you to adjust

the humidity setpoint when the outdoor temperature changes. Use higher humidity setpoints when the

temperature is warmer, and lower setpoints when the temperature is cooler.

EVERYDAY

OPERATION

The two buttons are used when starting TrueSTEAM and to manually drain the tank.

Drain Button: Press and hold to drain water from the

TrueSTEAM tank. See “How do I clean the tank?” on

page 16.

When the Draining light is blinking, TrueSTEAM is

actively ﬂushing water during a manual drain.

Go Button: Press to start or reset TrueSTEAM when

the Humidifying light is blinking.

Pressing and holding Go also clears the blinking

Service light and stops water draining from the tank.

Drain and Go Button: Pressing and holding both the

Drain and Go buttons in at the same time will interrupt

the water cooling cycle and immediately drain

the tank.

IMPORTANT: Pressing and holding the Drain and Go

buttons together—when the Draining light is already

on—causes TrueSTEAM to empty the tank, regardless

of water temperature. Make sure the drain outlet can

handle up to 212ºF (100ºC), or wait at least 45 minutes

to allow the water to cool before using

this feature.

CAUTION: Scalding Hazard.

Initial temperature of the drain water may be above 140°F (60°C) and can cause scalding injury.

Make sure the drain outlet is not exposed, and use caution when pressing the Drain button.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Scalding Hazard.

Initial temperature of the drain water may be above 140°F (60°C) and can cause scalding injury.

Make sure the drain outlet is not exposed, and use caution when pressing the Drain button.

TrueSTEAM automatically ﬂushes out the water tank

during the humidifying season. In the automatic

ﬂush cycle, cold water enters the tank while water

is being emptied through the drain line. The action

of simultaneous ﬁlling and draining cools the water

to a safe draining temperature. It also dilutes water

hardness concentration to reduce mineral deposits

from forming in the tank.

At the end of the automatic ﬂush cycle, TrueSTEAM

reﬁlls the tank with fresh water, and automatically

returns to normal operation.

Automatic ﬂush is performed regularly, based on the number of hours that TrueSTEAM heats water and produces

steam. Automatic ﬂush can be set to occur at any of the following intervals:

Your Professional Installer set TrueSTEAM to ﬂush at the appropriate interval for your installation. During any

service call, the automatic ﬂush interval can be changed, if desired.

What is the automatic ﬂush cycle?

Autoﬂush Intervals

8

hours (recommended for hard water)

12 hours (factory setting)

20 hours (when a water softener is installed)

30 hours (when an optional RO ﬁlter is installed)

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Manual cleaning is needed at least once each season to clean out the mineral deposits that remain in the tank

after automatic ﬂushing. Manual cleaning is easy – just empty and remove the water tank and clean the interior

components. Then re-assemble and start TrueSTEAM up again.

When should I clean the tank?• TrueSTEAM should be manually cleaned at least once every 5 months.

(Hard water may require more frequent cleaning.) The Cleaning Required light turns on when the tank needs

manual cleaning. TrueSTEAM will still operate normally when the Cleaning Required light is on. The light will

turn off when you have cleaned the tank and re-started TrueSTEAM.

Note: The Cleaning Required light turns on when the tank drains too slowly during a manual ﬂush cycle. (This is probably due to tank sediment.) TrueSTEAM

will still operate as normal. If during the next manual ﬂush cycle, the tank drains normally, the Cleaning Required light will stop blinking.

How do I clean the tank?• Follow these steps to manually clean TrueSTEAM:

Press the Drain button to initiate a ﬂush cycle and

empty the water tank. You will know the tank is

draining when the Draining light is blinking.

Wait for the Empty light to turn on. (It takes about 45

minutes for the tank to drain.) This indicates that the

water has ﬁnished draining.

IMPORTANT: You can stop a manual ﬂush once the

cycle has started by pressing and holding the Drain

button while the Draining light is already blinking. The

tank will reﬁll and TrueSTEAM will return to normal

operation in about 5 minutes.

Turn the manual shutoff valve at the tank bottom to the

“Unlock” position.

Grip the white water valve arm and push it back to

disconnect it from the tank.
