SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

Adjust the relative humidity (RH) setting on the dehumidifier control; this will be the 
setting for both the Primary and Secondary Zone. Once an hour, the dehumidifier 
will “sample” the air in the Primary Zone. If there is no need for dehumidification in 
the Primary Zone the dehumidifier will then sample the air in the Secondary Zone.

When sampling in the Primary Zone the dehumidifier will energize the dampers and 
then turn on its blower (and the HVAC System blower if wired as shown in 

WIRING 

INTERNAL CONTROL

 above), to measure the RH of the air. If the RH of the air is 

above the setting, the compressor will turn on. If the Primary Zone does not need 
dehumidification, the dampers are de-energized and the HVAC System Blower (if on) 
is turned off while the dehumidifier blower continues to run to sample the air in the 
Secondary Zone. If the RH of the air in the Secondary Zone is above the setting, the 
compressor will turn on.
