10. RELATIVE HUMIDITY 

(RH) COMPENSATION

The controller offers different way to com-
pensate for high/low relative humidity (RH) 
levels in the room. All compensation functions 
are explained below. To use them, you must 
enable each desired compensation function 
in section 4.6.

1. High RH Comp. with the Heating Outputs: 

The  controller  can  compensate  for  high 
humidity levels by activating the heaters in 
timer mode. As the RH level increases, the 
controller  increases  the 

“On  Time”

  portion 

of the heating timer to compensate for the 
change. The maximum compensated heating 

“On Time”

  is  reached  when  the  RH  level  is  

10% above the RH Set Point.

Timer

The  RH  heat  timer  is  composed  of  an 

“On 

Time”

 and of a 

“Cycle Time”

. The heaters run 

during the 

“On Time”

 and then stop until the 

end of the 

“Cycle Time”

. The 

“On Time”

 por-

tion of this cycle increases as the RH level 
increases.

2. High RH comp. with cool cells & mist out-
puts: 

If RH levels are too high,  the controller 

can stop the misting output and/or cool cell 
output.  Theses  outputs  are  disabled  when 
RH levels reach the respective 

RH shutoff 

limit 

of each output. 

3. Low RH comp. with mist outputs: 

To com-

pensate for low RH levels, the controller can 
activate  the  misting  output  in  timer  mode. 
The  misting  output  starts  when  RH  levels 
 decrease below the 

Low RH Set Point

.

sation function is enabled in section 4.6. In addition, 

a password may be required to access this menu

2. Set the following parameters:

RH  Set  Point  —

  This  is  the  humidity  level 

above  which  high  RH  compensation  func-
tions  start.  Adjustable  from  20  to  99%  of 
humidity  (select 

Off

  to  disable  all  high  RH 

comp functions). 

Heater compensation

The timer used by heating outputs is made 
of an

 “On Time” 

and of a

 “Cycle Time”

. Heating 

outputs run during the

 “On Time” 

then stop 

until  the  end  of  the

 “Cycle Time”

.  The

 “On 

Time” 

portion of this cycle increases as RH 

levels increase.

Minimum & Maximum On Times —

 Set the 

minimum  and  maximum 

“On Times”

  of  the 

heating timer. The minimum

 “On Time” 

starts 

being used when indoor humidity levels reach 
the RH set point; the maximum

 “On Time” 

is 

used  when  humidity  levels  are  10%  above 
the RH set point. *

 This parameter is accessible 

if RH compensation with heating outputs is enabled 

in section 4.6.

Cycle  Time:  —

  Set  the

 “Cycle Time” 

of  the 

heating  timer.  *

This parameter is accessible if 

RH compensation with heating outputs is enabled 

in section 4.6.

Misting outputs on low humidity levels 

*Accessible if RH comp. on Low RH levels is enabled 

in section 4.6.

Low  Set  Point  —

  Set  the  humidity  level 

below  which  misting  units  start  running  in 
timer  mode  or  select 

“Off”

  to  disable  this 

function.

On &  Off Times —

 Set the 

“On Time”

 and the 

“Off Time” 

of the misting timer.

Mist  & Cool Cell Shutoff —

 Set the humidity 

level above which the misting output and/or 
the cool cell output stops or select 

Off

 to dis-

able this function. *

This parameter is accessible 

if the mist shutoff compensation and/or cool cell 

shutoff option is enabled in sec. 4.6.
