HUMIDITY CONTROL

If a humidity probe is being used, the Expert-50 has three mechanisms

for controlling humidity.  When the relative humidity is too high, the

minimum ventilation speed can be adjusted by a fixed amount. Secondly,

the mist units are shut off whenever the relative humidity exceeds a

user-defined maximum value (this applies to those relays configured in

cooling timer mode for fan stages 2 to 15). Finally, the heater outputs

can be activated in timer mode whenever the relative humidity exceeds

a user-defined level. All these mechanisms must be enabled separately in

the user setup.

  Viewing Relative Humidity

Set the function to 

RELATIVE HUMIDITY

 using the menu select

buttons.  The relative humidity is displayed.

Press the down-arrow key.  The

minimum humidity value for the

current day is displayed, along

with the time and date.

Press the down-arrow key once

again.  The maximum humidity

value for the current day is

displayed, along with the time and

date.

Keep pressing the down-arrow key to display the minimum and

maximum humidity values for the previous six days.  Use the up-

arrow key  to return to the previous display screens.

 

Humidity Compensation

The stage 1 minimum speed can be adjusted automatically as a function

of relative humidity.  As humidity increases, the stage 1 minimum speed

increases proportionally to compensate for the change.  At humidity

levels at or below the humidity set point, stage 1 minimum speed is equal

to the normal uncompensated speed.  The user specifies the percentage

increase in minimum speed for a relative humidity equal to the humidity

set point + 10%.  For example, if the minimum speed is 40% and the

Humidity 75%RH
