CAUTION
DEHUMIDISTAT CONTROL
A dehumidistat wired in parallel may be used to maintain
the relative humidity level during unoccupied times re-
gardless of ambient temperature. By cycling an air
conditioning system the relative humidity is maintained to
help prevent high humidity levels which are associated
with mold and mildew build-up.
Do not use parallel wiring if compressor is not
equiped with low temperature protection. Oper-
ating compressor without low temperature pro-
tection will damage compressor and could cause
personal injury and/or property damage.
SETTING & ADJUSTMENT
1. A relative humidity environment of 50-55% is desir-
able during the summer. To achive this the cooling
thermostat would be set at a higher than occupied
temperature or off. The dehumidistat will cycle the air
conditioning system as required to maintain the rela-
tive humidity setting.
2. An operational check can be made as follows:
a. Turn dehumidistat knob to "ON" position. The
cooling system and blower should start.
b. Then rotate knob to desired setting.
