SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

The Model 76 Dehumidifier Control can be installed in any convenient location within 
the living space while the dehumidifier is installed in the space that is going to be 
dehumidified such as a crawl space, attic or basement. The relative humidity (RH) 
displayed on the Model 76 is the RH in the space where the dehumidifier is located 
– the dehumidifier communicates this to the Model 76. Changes to the dew point 
setting (1 = less dry, 7 = more dry) are made at the Model 76 and communicated 
to the dehumidifier. The dehumidifier can be turned on and off using the ON/OFF 
buttons of the Model 76.

Once every hour the dehumidifier will turn on its blower and sample the air in the 
zone to be dehumidified (sampling will also occur whenever the dew point setting 
is raised). If the dew point of the air is higher than the setting on the control, the 
dehumidifier compressor will turn on. When the dew point of the air is below the 
setting on the Model 76 Control, the dehumidifier will turn off.

When the Model 76 Control is wired to the dehumidifier in this application and after 
completing the set up (see 

SET UP THE DEHUMIDIFIER FOR REMOTE CONTROL

 

above), 

REMOTE

 will appear on the display of the dehumidifier control.
