Operation
The DH70 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 components
It is recommended that the indoor environment maintain a maximum relative humidity 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 precision and can be located in the space
for easier access, and may include additional features. Available as an accessory item these controls may have
different features; refer to instructions included with the control.
