red.  If in Unit/Standalone mode, press the button 

a second time, and you will hear one beep as the 

machine shuts down.  Specially note that there 

is a one minute fan delay from button push to 

shutdown.  In addition, the dehumidifier, once 

configured for operation, will automatically return to 

that mode during power glitch or outage.

If the dehumidifier is switched ON and then put 

into Remote/Whole-House Mode, the unit cannot 

be turned off with the switch.  If in the Remote/

Whole-House Mode and you want to turn the main 

power off, then switch the dehumidifier into Unit/

Standalone Mode that re-arms the OFF switch 

(both mode indicator lamps off).  Thereafter, the 

power switch can be used to switch OFF.

2.  Arrow Buttons ▲ Up and ▼ Down

Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to set the 

humidity set point on the display screen, when 

using in SUD configuration.  The set points can be 

any number between 35 to 99.  Creating a set point 

means that when the indoor humidity is lower than 

the set point, the machine will stop automatically.  

Conversely, when the indoor humidity is higher 

than the set point, the button is pushed and the unit 

will switch ON to run.

3.  Central Control Configuration Button

Press this button to switch the dehumidifier 

between Standalone Unit Configuration and Whole-

House Configuration.  Whole-House Configuration 

is selected when the green lamp is turned on 

above.

Indicator Lights

1.  Humidity Display Screen

The display screen has two functions.  When the 

unit is powered ON, it shows the local humidity.  

While setting the desired humidity level, the screen 

will show the set point humidity level.

2.  Power Indicator Light

This light indicates that the unit is properly powered 

ON and ready to operate in Standalone Mode.  In 

Remote/Whole-House Mode, the Power Indicator 

only illuminates when the unit is running.  Always 

make sure this unit is OFF prior to performing any 

service.

3.  Continuous Mode/Auto Defrost Light

When this light illuminates green, it indicates that 

the dehumidifier is set to Continuous Operation 

Mode.  When the light glows red, it means the unit 

is in Auto Defrost Mode and clearing the evaporator 

coil of any ice buildup.

4.  Compressor Light

When the Compressor light glows red, it indicates 

that the compressor has been initiated to run but is 

currently warming up.  Once the compressor light 

switches to green, it indicates that the compressor 

is in working status.

5.  Whole-House Indicator Light

When the indicator light is green, it illustrates the 

unit is configured for Whole-House Configuration 

and not Standalone Mode.  While in Whole-House 

Configuration, the dehumidifier is to be controlled 

by a separate humidistat.

Standalone Unit Configuration

After the dehumidifier is properly installed, ducted, 

connected to AC power, and condensate drain 

plumbed, standard operation can be configured 

and initiated.

Step 1

Push the power switch to turn the dehumidifier 

ON.  TEST MODE can be initiated by switching
