5.6.2 Enabling Interlocking Operation with External Equipment
This setting allows operation with external equipment, such as an air conditioner. Ensure that the humidifier
has been set up for use with the remote controller with built-in humidistat. By default, interlocking operation
(external equipment) is NOT enabled.
Interlocking operation is possible by connecting the remote controller to the humidifier main unit’s L1
and L2 terminals. Refer to the installation manual for wiring details.
To enable interlocking operation:
1. Toggle the external equipment contact to OFF.
2. Turn off the humidifier and ensure the power indicator lights are off.
3. Press and hold the side button on the remote controller for 3 seconds. The power light will illuminate
green.
4. Press the STOP button on the remote controller. This will turn dryer mode indicator light ON or OFF.
•
Turn ON the drying mode indicator light to enable interlocking operation with external equipment.
•
Turn OFF the drying mode indicator light to disable interlocking operation with external equipment.
5. Press the side button 2 times to save the setting. The high indicator light will illuminate orange for 3
seconds. When the remote controller powers off, the process is complete.
Note:
Interlock operation, under normal circumstances, will allow you to operate the humidifier with external
equipment with commands issued via external control signal input.
When the external equipment is OFF, the unit operation with the remote controller and the external
control signal input are invalidated. In such circumstances, the power and humidifier lights on the remote
controller will blink for 3 seconds upon pressing the power button.
5.6.3
Enabling External Signal Outputs (DIP Switch Settings)
External operation signals come from terminals 1 and 2 of the main unit. For a remote controller, this
means the power LED, and the humid. LED (if this setting is enabled).
This setting will allow you to output the operation signal to the humid. LED on the remote controller when
the unit is humidifying (humidifier is ON and the humistat is also ON). This setting is useful for status
monitoring to check whether humidification is actually active, as opposed to simply being powered on.
Under default settings, only the operation signal is output (power LED) when the humidifier is operating
and humidifying (i.e. the humid. light remains off). The default setting is useful for remote monitoring, to
prevent accidental forgetting of pin toggling.
To enable this setting, you must change the DIP switch settings on the main humidifier’s control unit.
Remove power to the unit before making the change. Failure to do so will prevent the unit from saving
your changes.
Refer to the table below to see the DIP switch setting.
