Select On Demand Dehumidifica-
tion setting. Default is OFF. It can be
set in the range of 40 to 94%. Ideally,
the indoor humidity should be set at
55%.
When On Demand Dehumidification
is selected, the thermostat will indi-
cate the current humidity on the home
screen. The display will show RH with
the humidity %. If the current humidity
is above the selected setting, the
thermostat will send an On Demand
Dehumidification request.
On Demand Dehumidification im-
proves the comfort level in your home
by reducing the humidity level. This
is accomplished by slowing down the
system fan speed and lengthening
the run time. The humidity setting
may not be reached before the call for
cool has been satisfied as the system
priority is to maintain the temperature
in the home.
