Operation
Operation:
The Comfort-D is designed to deliver dehumidified, filtered air to the living space,
and is equipped with an onboard humidistat and fan control and can be equipped
with various accessories to enhance its operation, including a remote humidistat,
and your system may incorporate any or all of the described operational compo-
nents�
It is recommended that the indoor environment maintain a maximum relative hu
-
midity level of 50% to 60%� Other factors may dictate a relative humidity level
different than the recommended, such as musical instruments, antiques, books/
papers, or special situations� Winter minimum humidity levels of 30-35% may not
be attainable without supplemental humidification (Humidifier), and may not be
desired during times of low outdoor temperatures�
System Variations:
Humidity Control - Standard:
The system may be installed as free standing or incorporate ducting to an area or
existing heating/cooling system. Control is provided by Humidistat with a dial stem
type adjustment built into the unit. Set the desired humidity set point by turning
the dial stem flat to the corresponding set point indicated on the face of the unit.
This humidity control unit will operate the compressor and circulation fan when the
dehumidification system is activated, working only when there is a call, or demand
for dehumidification.
Remote Humidity Control (Wall Mounted):
When a remote Humidistat is utilized, set the unit mounted humidistat to the “OFF”
position�
This control provides the same control functions as above but with greater preci-
sion and can be located in the space for easier access, and may included addi-
tional features� Available as an accessory item these controls may have different
features; refer to instructions included with the control�
Typical system operation sequence:
Upon the relative humidity exceeding the humidistat set point, normally by approxi
-
mately 3%, the humidistat will energize the dehumidification and air circulation
components of the Comfort-D� If the Comfort-D system is connected and inter-
locked with an existing Heating/Air Conditioning system, this systems circulation
fan will also be energized� The Comfort-D will continue to operate until the humidity
level is reduced to the set point selected on the humidistat and then will cycle off�
During this cycle, the air circulated through the Comfort-D system will be filtered
and dehumidified. If an outside ventilation air duct has been installed, fresh air will
be filtered and dehumidified and introduced to the space during this cycle.
