  • Page 16 Settings 2 (relay functions) The status indicating which relay is active ( red, yellow, green) depends exclusively on the current dust value measured. The temperature and humidity values measured have no significance for the status. This makes sense, since the control of an air filter system has an influence on the dust level in the air, but not on temperature or humidity.
