EXTERNAL CONTROL OPTIONS
Your Aprilaire dehumidifier can be controlled with the optional Aprilaire Model 76 remote control.
Install the Model 76 in your living space and make changes to the dehumidifier setting or find out
what the humidity level is in the crawl space from the comfort and convenience of the living space.
Refer to the Model 76 Owner’s Manual for operating instructions. Aprilaire owner’s manuals are
available at www.aprilaire.com.
If you are interested in having a remote control installed, please consult your installing contractor.
HOW DOES THE DEHUMIDIFIER WORK?
When the dehumidifier turns on, the blower circulates the air for 3 minutes before measuring the
humidity level of the air. The on-board control will display AIR SAMPLING, along with the measured
humidity on the control screen.
If the humidity of the air is higher than the setting, the compressor turns on and the control will display
DEHUMIDIFYING, along with the measured humidity on the control screen.

Once per hour the dehumidifier will measure the humidity level of the air and compare it to the humidity setting. If the humidity in your home is
higher than the setting, the dehumidifier will dehumidify the air until the humidity level drops below the setting.
HIGH DEW POINT / HIGH HUMIDITY ALERT
If the dehumidifier measures the dew point of the air to be 4°F or more or 6%RH or more above the setting for 72 consecutive hours, the ALERT
LIGHT will turn on and the display will show “HI”. The dehumidifier will continue to operate as normal when the ALERT LIGHT is on. If the dew
point falls within 4°F of the setting or relative humidity falls within 6%RH of the setting, the ALERT LIGHT will turn off.
The dehumidifier measures the conditions of the incoming air every five (5) minutes even if the dehumidifier is turned off (using the ON/OFF button)
to determine if there is a high dew or humidity condition. Should the dehumidifier be turned off, the alert setting defaults to 57°F or 60%RH.
