Aquafog Humidistat XE-36

The Aquafog Humidistat XE-36 is a simple, reliable mechanical humidity controller that automatically operates compatible Aquafog fogging systems to maintain the desired relative humidity level.

Ideal for greenhouses, horticultural facilities, propagation areas, agricultural buildings, industrial humidification systems, and other controlled environments, the XE-36 provides straightforward 20–80% RH control without complicated digital programming.

Its pre-wired design, mechanical humidity sensor, easy-to-adjust dial, and piggyback plug connection make installation and operation quick and convenient. Simply select the desired humidity level, connect a compatible Aquafog fogger, and the humidistat automatically cycles the unit as environmental humidity changes.

Simple Mechanical Humidity Control

The XE-36 is designed for users who want dependable automatic humidity control without menus, programming sequences, or complicated calibration procedures.

The mechanical sensing element responds to changes in relative humidity and automatically activates or deactivates the connected fogging system to help maintain the selected humidity level.

Main operating characteristics include:

• Humidity control range of 20–80% RH
• Approximately 7% differential
• Mechanical humidity sensor
• Simple adjustable control dial
• Automatic fogger activation
• No programming required

The approximately 7% differential helps reduce rapid On/Off cycling while maintaining practical humidity control for many greenhouse, agricultural, and industrial applications.

Pre-Wired for Easy Installation

One major advantage of the Aquafog XE-36 is its pre-wired, plug-and-play design.

The controller includes a piggyback plug, allowing the compatible fogging unit to connect directly to the humidistat without requiring complex hard wiring.

This makes installation especially convenient for:

• Greenhouses
• Indoor growing environments
• Propagation rooms
• Mushroom facilities
• Produce storage areas
• Wood and paper facilities
• Industrial humidity-control applications

The XE-36 is rated for compatible equipment up to approximately 1,400 W / 12 A at 115 V.

20–80% Relative Humidity Range

The XE-36 provides adjustable humidity control between approximately:

• 20% RH
• and
• 80% RH

This range makes it well suited for many general humidification applications where extremely high humidity levels are not required.

Typical uses include:

• Greenhouse humidity management
• Propagation environments
• Plant-production facilities
• Woodworking and lumber storage
• Paper manufacturing and storage
• Textile facilities
• Agricultural buildings
• Produce handling and storage
• General industrial humidification

For applications requiring humidity levels significantly above 80% RH, Aquafog generally recommends other control methods, such as compatible cycle timers or higher-range digital humidity controls.

Automatic Fogger Operation

Once you select the desired relative humidity level, the XE-36 automatically manages the connected fogging system.

When humidity falls below the controller’s operating threshold, the humidistat activates the fogger.

As humidity rises through the control differential, the humidistat switches the unit off.

This automatic cycling helps:

• Maintain more consistent humidity
• Reduce manual monitoring
• Prevent unnecessary continuous fogging
• Improve environmental control
• Reduce operator intervention
• Simplify daily facility management

Used With / Compatible With

The Aquafog Humidistat XE-36 is designed primarily for compatible 115 V / 60 Hz GT 500 and Hydro SS 700 hanging-sump or self-contained fogging systems.

Compatible products include:

• Aquafog Hydro SS 700-BT Fan – Bench Top
• Aquafog Hydro SS 700-HS Fan – Hanging Sump
• Aquafog GT 500-HS Fan – 115 V Hanging Sump
• Compatible with 115 V GT 500 and SS 700 self-contained systems
• Other compatible humidification equipment within the XE-36 electrical rating

Jaybird currently specifies the XE-36 as a controller for GT 500 and SS-700 units, rated up to 1,400 W / 12 A at 115 V.

Important: Direct-Feed Systems Require XE-36-DF

The standard XE-36 does not include a water solenoid.

For direct-feed foggers such as:

• Aquafog Hydro SS 700-DF
• Aquafog GT-500 Direct Feed

Use the Aquafog Humidistat XE-36-DF instead.

The XE-36-DF includes the required water solenoid so both the fogging unit and incoming water supply can be controlled together during automatic operation.

This distinction is important because a direct-feed system must stop water flow whenever the fogging unit switches off.

Ideal Applications

The Aquafog Humidistat XE-36 is ideal for:

• Greenhouse humidity control
• Horticultural environments
• Propagation facilities
• Agricultural buildings
• Mushroom production
