Unit Operations
The first time the unit runs…
When the unit is first turned on, it will run at medium speed for 6 hours. During this initial 6-hour
period, it is important to allow it to run uninterrupted, since the unit will take readings that will be
important to determine the best operating speed that will, over time, get the most energy efficient
ventilation for the entire home and maximum reduction of relative humidity.
The HCS-APT and HCS-APTHC do not require the user to input any settings, the default humidity
setting will be set at 55% which will result in the best operation all year round. It truly is a set it and
forget it system.
After power outages or whenever the unit is powered down (unplugged) and powered up again
(plugged into the wall again), the unit reads the last recorded settings and will return to its regular
operation mode.
Note:
For the unit to function properly and to allow the unit to provide the best energy efficient
ventilation and humidity control, all windows, doors with access to the outdoor and vents to the
outdoor should be closed to prevent an excessive amount of outdoor air from entering directly into
the house.
Maintaining your HCS
The HCS Products do not require any internal maintenance. The only maintenance needed for your
HCS is a periodic vacuuming of the dust accumulation at the intake grilles or louvers located at the
bottom of the unit. For proper functionality do not store anything within a radius of 4 feet around
the base of the Humidex.
