MODEl 8910 HOME COMfORT CONTROl

 

OR THIRD-PARTy CONTROl

WIRING & DIP SWITCH CONfIGURATION

When used as an external control, the Model 8910 Home Comfort Control

 or other third-party control acts like a dehumidistat and will turn 

the dehumidifier on and off when the relative humidity goes above or below the setting . 

The Model 8910 Home Comfort Control

 or other 

Third-Party Control must be installed in the space that is being served by the dehumidifier.

 One example of this would be to install the 

Model 8910 Home Comfort Control

 in the home’s living space and wire it to the dehumidifier which is located in the basement and is ducted 

to the HVAC system . The Model 8910 Home Comfort Control

 or other third-party control will override the dehumidifier control sensors and 

on-board control knob setting . Refer to the Model 8910 Home Comfort Control

 or other third-party control Installation Instructions for location, 

mounting, and operating instructions . The dehumidifier control knob can only be used to initiate Test Mode when a Model 8910 Home Comfort 
Control

 or other third-party control is connected .
