RH Control Mode - Fixed  

Accessible from default view by pushing <Setup> and 

then twice down arrow provided control mode Fixed is 

selected in the mode and reset menu.  

 

To change parameters, push <Change>, use down 

arrow to select parameter to change and push 

<Select>.  

Select parameter value of choice using the arrows and 

then push <Save>. 

 

”%RH Setpoint” 

defines the basis for the 

dehumidification. 

The setpoint is not to be seen as 

maximum relative humidity. 

The setpoint is exceeded 

by the Hysteresis Upper before the dehumidifier is 

even activated.  

 

”Hysteresis, Upper/Lower” 

defines at what percentage 

points, respectively above and below the setpoint that 

the dehumidifier shall activate and deactivate.

 

 

 

”Alarm, +RH%” 

defines at

 

what percentage point 

above the activation level that the humidity alarm on 

the Control Panel shall be activated.

 

 

Example: 

Setpoint:                                    65% 

Hysteresis Upper/Lower:           4% / - 4% 

Alarm, +%RH:                          10% 

 

Dehumidifier activation = 65% + 4% = 69%  

Dehumidifier deactivation = 65%-4%=61% 

 

Alarm is triggered at setpoint 65%  +  4 % Hysteresis 

Upper + 10% Alarm =  

(65+4+10)%RH= 79%RH
