From the manual:

• Heated Tube humidification - This setting will only display if you are using the heated tube. You can enable or disable this feature.

• SYSTEM ONE humidification - System One humidity control maintains a consistent mask humidity by monitoring and adjusting for changes in room temperature and room humidity. You can enable or disable this feature. If the System One humidity control has been disabled, the classic style of basic temperature controlled heated humidification will be used. This will only display if the humidifier is attached.

• Humidifier - This setting allows you to choose the desired humidity setting: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. If the System One humidity control has been disabled, the classic style of basic temperature controlled heated humidification will be used and the display will show: 0, C1, C2, C3, C4 or C5 for these settings. This will only display if the humidifier is attached. Please refer to the humidifier manual if using a humidifier.
Note: When not using Heated Tubing, the control wheel can also be used to change this setting.

• Humidity level - This setting will only display if you are using the heated tube. This setting allows you to choose the desired humidity setting for the humidifier: 1, 2 or 3. This setting can only be changed from the Setup screen.

• Tube temperature - This setting will only display if you are using the heated tube. This setting allows you to choose the desired temperature for the heated tube: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. If you choose zero (0), this will turn off both the humidifier and the heated tube.
Note: When using Heated Tubing, the control wheel can also be used to change this setting.

If you have one of the older PR S1 model x50 machines it's probably not a good idea to run classic mode humidification due to the humidifier Molex connector on the motherboard overheating and burning... classic mode will only exacerbate that problem. Maybe it's okay for the PR S1 x60 systems but I don't know that I'd chance that either. Maybe somebody who's doing it can weigh in.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Good to see you again, too, Ed.
Stick around and join in the discussions.

I was aware that you had gotten new equipment awhile back. Is everything working out well for you?
