DEHUMIDIfICATION
1 . Check the wiring to the HVAC equipment and any accessories if applicable .
2 . Plug unit in and turn on/off switch to ON .
3 . Rotate the main control knob clockwise to the TEST position .
4 . If set up correctly, the dehumidifier blower will turn on and the dehumidifier damper
output will turn on . After 30 seconds the dehumidifier compressor will turn on . The blower
and compressor will remain on for 1 minute in TEST mode . After 1 minute has elapsed,
the dehumidifier blower and compressor will turn off and the dehumidifier damper output
will turn off . NOTE: If the minimum off time for the compressor has not expired when
the test mode is initiated, the compressor will not turn on until the minimum off time has
been met . If the blower or compressor fails to turn on, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide .
5 . The Status LED will blink red and green alternately if the control knob has been left in
TEST after the compressor has turned off .
ADJUSTING DEHUMIDIfIER SET POINT
1 . Use the control knob on the unit to set the desired dryness level .
• B ased on indoor temperature, use Table 6 to determine the control knob setting to achieve the desired humidity level .
• F or most installations, start with a setting in the NORMAL range. See figure 29 .
• M oving the knob clockwise towards MORE will increase dehumidifier run time, allowing for lower humidity levels.
• M oving the knob counterclockwise towards LESS will decrease dehumidifier run time, allowing for higher humidity levels.
2 . Reference Model 70 Living Space Control or Third-Party Control's Installation Instructions for start-up with a separate control .
Note: There is a 6 minute delay after power up when using a Model 70 .
