Press down both arrow buttons again to turn off 

TEST MODE (continual on function).

Step 2

Press the Central Control button until the Whole-

House light turns OFF, which indicates the unit is 

configured for Standalone/Unit Mode of operation.

Step 3

Next, see the Humidity Screen Display, which will 

indicate the current local humidity.  Use the Up/

Down arrow buttons to set the humidity set point for 

the dehumidifier.  If the humidity rises above the set 

point, then the dehumidifier will switch ON and run 

continuously until the humidity set point is achieved.  

There may be a 1-2 minute delay when the unit starts 

a dehumidifier ON cycle before it actually begins 

dehumidifying, as there is a compressor warm-up 

cycle required and indicated by a red Compressor 

light.  Likewise, if powering OFF, there may be a short 

one minute delay required for the unit to cycle down 

and shut off.

Step 4

From there, the unit will run and only needs to be 

switched OFF for cleaning and maintenance if 

necessary.

Whole-House Configuration

After the dehumidifier is properly installed, ducted, 

humidistat control wired, connected to AC power, 

and condensate drain plumbed, standard operation 

can be configured and initiated.

Step 1

Be sure to turn OFF the Dehumidifier Mode on the 

external humidistat controller before switching on 

the dehumidifier.  Also, if an external float switch 

is being used for the condensate drain circuitry, be 

sure the condensate tank is empty or near empty 

and the associated float switch is open.

Step 2

Push the power switch to turn the dehumidifier ON.

Step 3

Press the Central Control button until the Whole-

House light turns on, which indicates the unit is 

configured for Whole House Mode of operation.  

After a very brief delay, the dehumidifier will switch 

into the Whole-House Mode.

Step 4

After setting the unit for Whole-House Mode in Step 

3 above and from this point forward, the dehumidifier 

is exclusively controlled by the dehumidistat.  At this 

time, the humidistat controller can be turned on and 

the humidity setting adjusted accordingly.  When 

the humidistat signals the need for dehumidification, 

there may be a 1-2 minute delay when the unit 

starts a dehumidifier ON cycle before it really begins 

dehumidifying, as there is a compressor warm-up 

cycle required and indicated by a red Compressor 

light.  Likewise, if powering OFF, there may be a short 

one minute delay required for the unit to cycle down 

and shut off.  

From here on, the unit will run and only needs to be 

switched off for cleaning and maintenance if necessary.
