Air Humidity Control
Version 12/10
Item-No. 56 16 00
°
Use in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions
The air humidity control measures the humidity via an integrated sensor. A load connected to the
front socket of the air humidity controller can be switched on or off when the air humidity exceeds
a defined value or falls below it.
E.g. an air humidifier (if the ambient air is too dry) or an air dehumidifier (if the air humidity is too
high) that does not have its own air humidity control can be connected to this controller.
Any use other than that described above is not permitted and may damage the product; fur-
thermore, it may involve other risks, such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. Do not change
or modify any part of the product.
Always observe the safety instructions and technical specifications! Please read the operating
instructions carefully and store them.
This product complies with the applicable national and European requirements. All names of

Safety Instructions
Ꮨ
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe
these safety instructions. We do not assume any liability for any resulting
damage!
We do not accept liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by
improper handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions! The
warranty will be void in such cases!
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not allowed for
safety and approval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the product!
• The product is designed in accordance with protection class I. Only a standard
mains socket (with protective earth) for the public supplygrid may be used as a
power source.
• The product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children! There is the
risk of a fatal electric shock!
• The product is used to control a connected load depending on the air humidity.
However, the product must not get wet or damp; that poses a danger to life through
electric shock! It must be used in dry interior spaces only!
• Never touch the product, or the mains plug, with wet or damp hands when trying
to connect a plug to the front socket. There is a risk of a lethal electric shock! The
same applies to the humidity control itself.
• Never pull out a mains plug by pulling on its cable when disconnecting it from the
front socket of the humidity controller. Always pull the plug out of the front socket
by gripping the area provided for this purpose on its sides.
• Do not use the humidity controller in rooms or under adverse ambient conditions
where combustible gases, vapours or dust are or may be present! There is a risk
of explosion!
• Do not overload the product (take note of the input power in the technical data at
the end of the operating manual!).
• The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, strong vibrations or
heavy mechanical stress.
• Only use the product is when it has been securely mounted.

• If you have reason to assume that safe operation is no longer possible, disconnect
the product immediately and secure it against accidental operation. Let an expert
check the product.
It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:
- the product shows visible signs of damage,
- the product does not work at all or well (flickering light, leaking smoke or a smell
of burning, audible cracking noises, discolouration to the product or the adjacent
surfaces.)
- the device was stored under unfavourable conditions for a long period of time or
- the device was exposed to extraordinary stress caused by transport.
• If the product casing is damaged, do not use the product anymore! When it is
connected to the mains, do not touch the humidity controller or the connected
device! First switch off at the mains socket to which the humidity controller is
connected (switch off the circuit breaker).
Disconnect any device that is connected to the humidity control; then unplug the
humidity control from the mains socket. Take the product to a specialist workshop
or dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way.
• Do not leave packing materials unattended. They may become dangerous
playthings for children.
• In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the employer’s
liability insurance association for electrical systems and operating facilities are to
be observed!
• If you have any questions that are not answered in this manual, please contact our
technical service or another specialist.
Initial start-up, recharging the integrated accumulator
The air humidity controller features a built-in NiMH rechargeable battery/accumulator. The
accumulator serves to prevent data loss in the event of a power failure.
☞
Furthermore, the humidity control (with fully charged accumulator) can be pro-
grammed even if it is not connected to a mains socket.
The accumulator is fully charged if the humidity control has been connected to the
mains voltage for approx. 12 hours.
At delivery, the NiMH battery is usually empty. Nothing is shown in the display.
In order to perform the programming, connect the humidity control to a mains socket. Shortly
after, the display will be activated and you can start up the humidity controller.
Choose operating mode
☞
If the NiMH accumulator integrated in the humidity control is charged, the pro-
gramming can be performed even though the humidy control is not connected to the
mains socket. If the display does not work, the NiMH accumulator is empty. In this
case, plug the humidity controller into a mains socket to perform the programming.
If “SET” is shown at the display’s top right-hand side, press the
“
” button briefly in order for the humidity control to change
to the setting mode for the corresponding operating mode; see
illustration to the right.
Now the display shows the currently measured air humidity at
the bottom left and the currently selected operating mode at
the top:
Operating mode 1:
Display “
” = Air humidification: a load is switched on if the
humidity in the room falls below a preset value.
This operating mode must be selected if you have
connected an air humidifier.
Operating mode 2:
Display “
” = Air dehumidification: a load is switched on if the
humidity in the room exceeds a preset value.
This operating mode must be selected if you have
connected an air dehumidifier or a ventilation
system.
To change the operating mode, proceed as follows:
• Press and hold the “
▲
” key (do not release).
• In addition, press and hold the “
” key.
• After approx. 2 to 3 seconds the operating mode changes. Now release both buttons.
