Dehumidification of the Primary Zone follows the same sequence

that described to the left when sampling or dehumidifying the
Primary Zone. The zone dampers are energized when sampling or
dehumidifying the Primary Zone.
2. The Secondary Zone uses the humidity setting on the dehumidifier
control. During Secondary Zone sampling or dehumidification, the
zone dampers are de-energized and the HVAC blower (if on) stops.
“SECONDARYZONE”willshowonthedehumidifiercontroldisplay
when the Secondary Zone is either sampling or dehumidifying. If
the Primary Zone had just finished a dehumidification demand, the
compressor will continue to run during Secondary Zone sampling to
prevent short cycling of the compressor.
The Secondary Zone is sampled immediately after the Primary Zone
has finished sampling, or if there is a call for dehumidification from
the Primary Zone, immediately after the call has been satisfied.
When a Model 76 external control is installed, the Secondary
Zone will be sampled once per hour if there has not been a call for
dehumidification from the Primary Zone. Secondary Zone sampling
will also occur whenever the setting on the dehumidifier control is
lowered.
