HOW DOES THE CONTROL WORK?

EXTERNAL CONTROL

•When the measured humidity is greater than the setting, the control will turn on the dehumidifier and ON will blink on the LCD display.

•When the measured humidity falls 3% below the setting, the control will turn off the dehumidifier and ON will stop blinking, but remain displayed on the LCD.

REMOTE CONTROL

•The control sends the dryness level to the dehumidifier.

•Once per Cycle Period (set by your installer in the dehumidifier), the dehumidifier will sample the air in the area served by the dehumidifier.

•If the dew point of the incoming air is above the dryness level, the dehumidifier will turn on and ON will blink on the LCD display.

•When the dew point of the incoming air falls below the setting, the dehumidifier will turn off and ON will stop blinking, but remain displayed on the LCD.

CONTROL LIMITS

The control limits are used to make sure the dehumidifier does not run when conditions are outside of the operating limits. Dehumidifiers are not as effective when conditions are outside of the operating limits. For example, the dehumidifier will not remove much moisture when conditions are cool and dry. Control limits allow the dehumidifier to work efficiently within the operating range and turn off when conditions are outside of these limits.

•Dew Point Lower Limit: 40°F External Control

•Temperature High Limit: 99°F External Control 105°F Remote Control

•Temperature Low Limit: 50°F Remote Control

EXTERNAL CONTROL – SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

•The dehumidifier will turn off if one of the control limits has been exceeded.

•If the control measures a dew point below 40°F OR a temperature above 99°F, the control

will deactivate the dehumidifier output if actively dehumidifying, the dehumidifier will stop dehumidifying, and ON and * will blink on the LCD screen (see Figure 2).

•The control will resume normal operation when conditions fall back within the control limits.

REMOTE CONTROL – SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

•The dehumidifier will turn off if one of the control limits has been exceeded.

•If the dehumidifier measures a temperature below 50°F or above 105°F, the dehumidifier will stop dehumidifying.

•The control will resume normal operation when conditions in the remote space fall back within the dehumidifier control limits.

CLEANING THE CONTROL

The surface of the Model 76 Dehumidifier Control can be cleaned with water or a non-abrasive household cleaner, including glass cleaner. Do not spray any liquid directly onto the control. Spray water or a cleaner onto a soft cloth and gently wipe the surface of the control.
