SYSTEM SET-UP, CHECK & START-UP
(CONTINUED)
Your dehumidifier is equipped with two features that protect against unwanted energy consumption . Defrost is a normal operating mode that
helps to prevent significant ice formation on the refrigeration system coil . The dehumidifier display will show “DEFROSTING” when operating
in this mode . This mode can occur when there is not enough air moving through the dehumidifier or if the temperature and/or humidity of
the incoming air is too low . The second protection feature is the E8 code . E8 on the dehumidifier display indicates that the air entering the
dehumidifier is below 50°F or above 104°F, or the dew point of the incoming air is below 40°F . There would be a significant reduction in
dehumidifier efficiency if the dehumidifier operated outside of these conditions . Low dew point conditions can be seen in some basements
or crawl spaces and usually occur in the Winter and Spring months . The dehumidifier continues to monitor the incoming air and when the
conditions are within the operating range, E8 will be removed from the display and dehumidification will begin as needed .
START-UP
CRAWL SPACE USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER CONTROL
CRAWL SPACE REMOTE CONTROL USING MODEL 76
1 . Press the ON/OFF button to turn the dehumidifier control ON . The display will show the current setting, and the dehumidifier blower and HVAC
blower (if wired to the HVAC system) will turn on to start sampling the air .
The setting will be replaced by the measured humidity and “AIR SAMPLING” will show on the display .
2 . Use the UP or DOWN button to adjust the humidity setting as desired . The recommended initial setting is 59% .
3 . After three (3) minutes of sampling, the measured humidity will be compared to the setting:
a . If the humidity is above the setting, the dehumidifier compressor turns on and “AIR SAMPLING” will be replaced by “DEHUMIDIFYING” . The
compressor remains on until the measured humidity falls 3% RH below the setting .
b . If the measured humidity is below the setting, the blowers turn off and the display returns to showing the RH setting .
4 . The dehumidifier will sample again every 60 minutes, or at any time if the humidity setting is lowered .
1 . Press the ON/OFF button to turn the dehumidifier control ON . “REMOTE” will show on the display to indicate that a remote control is wired to
the dehumidifier .
2 . At the Model 76, press the ON button; the Model 76 will display the RH measured at the dehumidifier, and the dehumidifier blower will turn
on to start sampling the air .
3 . Use the UP or DOWN button on the Model 76 to adjust the dryness level as desired . The dryness levels are from 1 to 7, with 1 being least dry
and 7 being most dry; the recommended initial setting is 3 .
4 . After three (3) minutes of sampling, the measured humidity will be compared to the setting:
a . If the humidity is above the setting, the dehumidifier compressor turns on and “ON” flashes on the Model 76 display .
b . If the measured humidity is below the setting, the dehumidifier blower turns off .
5 . The dehumidifier will sample again every 60 minutes, or at any time if the dryness level is increased .
