Ultra-Aire 135H Air Purifying Dehumidifier Owners Manual

5.2F Fan Setting and Operation

Use the “FAN” button to adjust the fan operation. There are 3
choices for fan operation: “on”, “off” (denoted by “OF”), or
program (denoted by “Pr”). To set operation,
1. Press the “FAN” button. The display will indicate the cur-

rent fan setting.

2. Use the “SET” + or – buttons to adjust fan operation (“on”,

“OF”’ or “Pr”). Press the “FAN” button again or leave the
unit alone for 10 seconds to return to home state.

5.2G Fan On Fan Off Fan Program

The fan display reading in the normal display sequence does
not indicate the current fan setting, it indicates the current
fan status, and will always read either on or off. With the fan
in the “on” mode, the fan will run continuously. This does 
not effect the dehumidification functions of the system. In
other words, the system may or may not be ventilating or
dehumidifying while the fan is running. Common reasons 
for operating the fan continuously are continuous filtration
and air recirculation. With the fan in the “off” or “program”
mode, the fan will operate only when needed by other 
functions of the system. The fan will remain off unless the
system is dehumidifying and/or ventilating. The fan always
runs during dehumidification, it also always runs during 
ventilation. To completely turn the system off, use the
“ON/OFF” button as described earlier.

5.2H Damper Operation and Setting (Ventilation)

The damper setting controls the ventilation function of the
system. It has no control over the dehumidification function.
In order to provide ventilation, the damper must be open
(“on”) and the fan must be running. The controller takes 
care of these two functions automatically, so whenever the
damper is open (“on”), the fan is running.

This is true even if the fan has been set to the “off” mode.

The ventilation indicator “..” will be lit whenever the unit is
ventilating

There are three damper operation modes, “on”, “off”
(denoted by “OF”), and program (denoted by “”Pr”). With the
damper in the “on” mode, the damper will be open and the
fan of the system will be operating in order to introduce fresh
air into the space. Use this mode for continuous fresh air
ventilation. The fan is always on when the damper is open.
When in “off” mode, the damper will not open and the sys-
tem will not ventilate.

When in the “program” mode, the control will operate the
damper and fan (ventilate) according to the programmed
ventilation schedule (see the section referring to
programming the ventilation schedule).

To select damper operation:

1. Press the “DAMPER” button. The letter “d” will appear on

the display, along with the current mode setting.

2. Use the “SET” + or – buttons to adjust the fan setting to

the desired mode (“on”, “OF”, or “Pr”).

3. Press the “DAMPER” button again or leave the control

alone for 10 seconds to select the indicated damper mode
and return to the home state.

5.2I Intermittent or Programmed Ventilation

With the damper in program mode (denoted by “Pr”
when setting the damper operation) the system will operate
the ventilation function according to the current ventilation
program. 

There are 4 programs available for ventilation Monday
through Friday. There are also 4 programs for Saturday and 4
programs for Sunday. No other choice of days is available.
Each program to be used has an “on event” called “START”
which brings the ventilation function on, and an “off event”
called “STOP” which turns the function off. Each START and
STOP must be entered in to the controller.

To set or adjust the ventilation program:

1. Press the “PROG” button two times. The display will indi-

cate “Program 1/start” at the bottom, and the hour display
will flash.

2. Use the “SET” + or – button to adjust the hour for the

Program 1 start time. Be sure to pay attention to the
am/pm setting.

3. Press the “PROG” button again. The display will indicate

“Program 1/start” at the bottom, and now the minute dis-
play will flash.

4. Use the “SET” + or – buttons to adjust to the desired

minute setting.

5. Press the “PROG” button again to move on to the

“Program 1/stop” event. The display will indicate “Program
1/stop” at the bottom, and the hour display will flash.
