SHEET 5 – TWO ZONE WITH EXTERNAL CONTROL IN PRIMARY ZONE

Note:

 Dehumidifier zoning is not recommended in zoned HVAC applications. 

PARTS NEEDED 

(ADDITIONAL PARTS MAY BE REQUIRED)

•  Model E080/E100/E130
•  Model 76, Model 8620 or Model 8910 control
•  Insulated duct
•  Thermostat wire

•  Duct fittings & hardware
•  20A outlet (E130 only)
•  Drain pan and float switch (if required)
•  Grilles

•  5442 Damper Kit (includes: 2 - 10" dia N.O. 

dampers, 2 -10" dia N.C. dampers and one 
40VA, 24VAC plug-in transformer)

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

The external control (i.e. Model 76 Control or Model 8910 Home Comfort Control) 
provides on-demand control of the dehumidifier for the Primary Zone. When the 
Primary Zone calls for dehumidification, the dehumidifier energizes the dampers, 
and turns on its blower and compressor. The dehumidifier will also turn on the HVAC 
System Blower if wired as shown in 

WIRING EXTERNAL CONTR

OL IN PRIMARY ZONE

 

above. The Primary Zone demand will override an existing Secondary Zone demand.

The Secondary Zone is controlled by the relative humidity (RH) setting at the 
dehumidifier control. Once an hour, or immediately after dehumidifying the primary 
zone, the dehumidifier will “sample” the air in the Secondary Zone. When sampling, 
the dampers are 

not

 energized while the dehumidifier blower runs and the RH is 

measured. If the RH is above the setting on the control, the compressor will turn on 
and the Secondary Zone will be dehumidified.
