EXTERNAL CONTROL OPTIONS
Your dehumidifier can be controlled with an optional external control that is
conveniently located in the living space.
The Model 76CR can work as an external or a remote control when the
dehumidifier is located in a crawl space. When used as an external control,
the Model 76CR controls humidity by measuring air conditions in the space
where the control is located. When used as a remote control, the Model
76CR is installed in your living space, where you can make changes to the
dehumidifier setting or find out what the humidity level is in the crawl space
from the comfort and convenience of the living space.
If a Model 76CR or any other external control is installed, please refer to their
owner’s manuals for operating instructions.
If you are interested in having an external control installed, please consult
your installing contractor.
HOW DOES THE OPTIONAL VENTILATION WORK?
If you had your contractor install the optional ventilation feature, they calculated how much fresh air was needed based on various factors
(i.e. home size, number of occupants, local building codes, etc.). Knowing how much is needed and the rate at which fresh air will be brought
into your home, the contractor set up the dehumidifier control to operate ventilation a certain amount of time per hour to provide the needed
fresh air. When ventilation operates, a damper in a duct that brings air in from the outside opens, and
your heating and cooling system blower will run to distribute the fresh air.
If you need to change the amount of time to operate ventilation, press the MODE button twice to
display the ventilation time setting. Use the UP or DOWN button to adjust the number of minutes
per hour (0–60, set to zero to turn it off) that ventilation is to run. The control will return to the
dehumidifier setting display automatically.
