Convertible installation

In this installation the dehumidifier controls humidity in both the whole-home and a spot location.. The dehumidifier will dehumidify the whole home as the first priority, switching to the spot location after the whole-home dehumidification need has been met.. Ducting the unit to the return and supply, where air is pulled from the return duct, dehumidified, and discharged to the supply duct, is the most common setup, with additional ducting run to and from the spot location(s).. Note: Convertible Mode will not work with ventilation, air cycling, or continuous HVAC fan operation.. The Model 70 Living Space Control and third-party controls (see pages 16-17) cannot be used in Convertible Mode operation..
