Using Your Air Conditioner to Dehumidify
If Cool to Dehumidify is on and the Humidity Module is installed, the thermostat has the ability to initiate a cooling cycle for advanced dehumidification operation. When the thermostat detects the humidity percentage is above the setpoint for dehumidification, and heating or cooling is not on, the thermostat will force the compressor to run with the fan, thus reducing moisture in the air. The green LED will blink once every eight seconds to indicate this is taking place. This feature will also allow you to adjust the cooling overshoot of the setpoint, from 0° to 5° (adjustable in step #9). For Example: If the cooling overshoot is set for 3°F and the cooling setpoint is set for 74°F, then as long as the room temperature reads between 71°F and 74°F this feature will energize the compressor and fan to dehumidify the air.
