OPERATION  

1.  Plug in the power cord into a standard 115V grounded 

outlet. The unit must be operated on a 115V/60 Hz circuit 
protected by a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) device.  

2.  Attach one end of the drain hose to the condensate drain 

outlet and directing the other end into a drain or away from 
area to be kept dry. NOTICE: To prevent CMC100 drain 
pan overflow, ensure that there are no kinks or sharp 
bends in the drain hose and do not place the outlet of the 
hose higher than 3 ft. (1 m) above the top of the CMC100. 

3.  The CMC100 is controlled by an electronic touchpad hu-

midistat. The unit will automatically start when the humidity 
of the surrounding air exceeds the humidity level selected. 

4.  Set humidity set point with Control Panel (see below).

The ON/STANDBY button toggles the unit between the ON 
and STANDBY modes. The display indicates the current mode.  

1.  In the 

ON

 mode, the display shows the current measured 

humidity as a percentage of relative humidity.  

 

To view the current humidity setting

, first set the unit in 

the ON mode, and then press the UP or DOWN arrow 
once.  

UP button  

 

DOWN button 

 

 

To change the humidity setting

, press the UP or DOWN 

button twice. Each time you press the button, the value of 
the humidity setting will increase or decrease in 5 percent 
increments.  

Note: In the ON mode, the display will show the humidity 
setting only when you press the UP or DOWN buttons. Af-
ter you have finished adjusting the setting, the display will 
resume indicating the measured humidity and the CMC 
will automatically maintain humidity at the selected setting. 

2.  In the 

STANDBY

 mode, the display shows a double dash. 

Unit does not operate in this mode. Press the

resume operation. 

ADDITIONAL MODES

 

The CMC100 also has a DEFROST mode and a LOW TEM-
PERATURE PROTECTION mode. The unit automatically in-
itiates these modes as conditions warrant. No user intervention 
is required.  

1.  The CMC will automatically enter the 

DEFROST mode

 as 

needed. The fan will continue to operate until the unit is 
ready for the next operating cycle. The unit will automati-
cally return to ON mode when the defrost cycle is com-
plete.

 

 

2.  When the ambient temperature falls below 45°F (7°C), the 

unit enters 

LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION mode

 

and stops operating. The unit will automatically restart 
when the surrounding temperature rises above freezing. 

 

 

Automatic water pump out 

The unit automatically pumps out condensate through the con-
densate drain hose. No user intervention is required. 

Note:

 Check for proper operation before leaving the unit unat-

tended. Do not move the CMC100 while it is operating.
