EXTERNAL CONTROL

The external control (i.e. Aprilaire Model 76 Dehumidifier 
Control, Model 8620 Thermostat or Model 8910 Home 
Comfort Control) must have a normally open (NO – all 
Aprilaire controls are normally open type) or normally closed 
(NC) dry contact output, and must be installed in the space 
that is going to be dehumidified. Select the type of control 
using the NO/NC dip switch on the dehumidifier control.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

When the external control calls for dehumidification, the 
dehumidifier blower and HVAC blower (if this option has been 
wired – see 

WIRING EXTERNAL CONTROL

 

above) turn on, 

then three seconds later the compressor turns on. All will turn 
off when the external control stops calling for dehumidification.
