A humdistat may be used for zone humidity control (dehumidification) when applied to a Carrier rooftop unit
equipped with the Humidi-MiZer™ option. On units not equipped for dehumidification, the humidistat will indicate
a high humidity condition only.
The humidistat is NOT an option for LC WeatherExpert™ units with gas heat. You must use the RH sensor
for humidity control.
