• Dehumidify .
• Unit oversized
• Consult DriSteem .
• Reduced airflow
• Check fans, dampers, VAV systems, etc .
• Improperly located humidistat or humidity
transmitters
• Relocate, using guidelines in Appendix section of this manual .
• Malfunctioning controls
• Check for incorrect supply voltage .
• Check for incorrect control signal .
• Check for improper wiring hookup .
• If humidity controller or transmitter are out of calibration or
malfunctioning, repair or recalibrate .
Hunting (humidity swings
above and below desired set
point)
• Malfunctioning control system
• If there is a faulty or inaccurate humidity controller or
transmitter, repair or replace .

control settings: RH set point,
high limit set point, cycle rate, PID tuning, etc .
• Relocate poorly located control components . See “Sensor
• Verify that the touchscreen display modular cable is isolated
from power wiring .
• Air volume varies rapidly
• Stabilize .
• Air temperature is varying rapidly
• Stabilize to ±1 ºF (±1 ºC) .
• Proportional band is too small and/or
integral gain (Ki) is too large
• If RH swings outside PID band, increase PID band using the
Settings menu .
• Decrease integral gain (Ki) using the Set Up menu .
• On-off control is not adequate
• If controlling the humidifier with an on-off signal, consider
changing to controlling with a modulating signal .
