Installation 1.1 Introduction Your Desert Aire controller is designed for precise monitoring and control of air temperature, relative humidity (RH) and Dew Point (DP) within a conditioned environment. This CM3570 control system is easy to install and operate. The controller itself is installed in the electrical cabinet of the dehumidifier and features an internal display terminal (IDT) and an optional remote display terminal (RDT).
The internal display terminal (IDT, see Figure 1) allows the operator to monitor and adjust the setpoints of your Desert Aire system. The IDT has an LCD screen and six keys. These keys are labeled as below: The remote display terminal (RDT) has an LCD screen and six keys.
