Informational Display Screens

Fans On Screen

The Fans On Screen displays when the fans are 
activated.

Relative Humidity Screen

The Relative Humidity Screen displays the relative 
humidity outside and inside the crawlspace.  

 

Relative humidity is measured by the sensor along with temperature 

in each location and is used to calculate dew point.  An important 

component of relative humidity is the word “relative.” Humidity is 

relative to temperature and can fluctuate significantly with changes 

in temperature.  ATMOX ventilates based on a dew point comparison 

for this reason.  It is possible for the humidity outside to be higher 

than inside but to still trigger the fans to run.  It all depends on the 

corresponding temperature.  In general, the ATMOX system is not 

looking to target an exact humidity level but instead is looking to have 

variations mirroring the outdoors.  The goal is not to have extremely 

high humidity in the crawlspace for extended periods of time.

There are some operations on the ATMOX system that are triggered by 

inside humidity levels.  Under default settings, if the crawlspace humidity 

exceeds 80

%

 and outside dry air is not beneficial, then the controller 

will activate the Orange and Yellow outputs used for internal fans and 

an optional dehumidifier.  Once activated, the fans and/or dehumidifier 

will continue operation until the inside relative humidity is below 75% or 

when outside air is drier.  Your system will automatically trigger these 

outputs even if your setup does not have a dehumidifier or internal fans.

The relative humidity setting to activate Yellow and Orange outputs is 

adjustable.  Contact your installer if you have questions about custom 

settings.

When this screen is showing, the conditions outside are beneficial to 
the crawlspace and fans have been triggered to run.  All fans plugged 
in the Red and Orange outputs will be activated.

Dehumidifier On Screen

The Dehumidifier On Screen displays when the Yellow 
and Orange outputs are activated.

When this screen is showing, the conditions outside are not beneficial 
to the crawlspace and the inside relative humidity is elevated.  All 
components plugged in the Yellow and Orange outputs will be 
activated.  It is important to note that this screen will come on 
regardless of whether or not a dehumidifier is actually installed with 
the system.
