SYSTEM SET-UP, CHECK & START-UP (CONTINUED)
Your dehumidifier is equipped with two features that protect against unwanted energy consumption. Defrost is a normal operating mode that
helps to prevent significant ice formation on the refrigeration system coil. The dehumidifier display will show “DEFROSTING” when operating
in this mode. This mode can occur when there is not enough air moving through the dehumidifier or if the temperature and/or humidity of
the incoming air is too low. The second protection feature is the E8 code. E8 on the dehumidifier display indicates that the air entering the
dehumidifier is below 50°F or above 104°F, or the dew point of the incoming air is below 40°F. There would be a significant reduction in
dehumidifier efficiency if the dehumidifier operated outside of these conditions. Low dew point conditions can be seen in some basements
or crawl spaces and usually occur in the Winter and Spring months. The dehumidifier continues to monitor the incoming air and when the
conditions are within the operating range, E8 will be removed from the display and dehumidification will begin as needed.
START-UP
CRAWL SPACE USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER CONTROL
CRAWL SPACE REMOTE CONTROL USING MODEL 76
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the dehumidifier control ON. The display will show the current setting, and the dehumidifier blower and HVAC
blower (if wired to the HVAC system) will turn on to start sampling the air.
The setting will be replaced by the measured humidity and “AIR SAMPLING” will show on the display.
2. Use the UP or DOWN button to adjust the humidity setting as desired. The recommended initial setting is 59%.
3. After three (3) minutes of sampling, the measured humidity will be compared to the setting:
a. If the humidity is above the setting, the dehumidifier compressor turns on and “AIR SAMPLING” will be replaced by “DEHUMIDIFYING”. The
compressor remains on until the measured humidity falls 3% RH below the setting.
b. If the measured humidity is below the setting, the blowers turn off and the display returns to showing the RH setting.
4. The dehumidifier will sample again every 60 minutes, or at any time if the humidity setting is lowered.
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the dehumidifier control ON. “REMOTE” will show on the display to indicate that a remote control is wired to
the dehumidifier.
2. At the Model 76, press the ON button; the Model 76 will display the RH measured at the dehumidifier, and the dehumidifier blower will turn
on to start sampling the air.
3. Use the UP or DOWN button on the Model 76 to adjust the dryness level as desired. The dryness levels are from 1 to 7, with 1 being least dry
and 7 being most dry; the recommended initial setting is 3.
4. After three (3) minutes of sampling, the measured humidity will be compared to the setting:
a. If the humidity is above the setting, the dehumidifier compressor turns on and “ON” flashes on the Model 76 display.
b. If the measured humidity is below the setting, the dehumidifier blower turns off.
5. The dehumidifier will sample again every 60 minutes, or at any time if the dryness level is increased.
