INDOOR AIR QUALITY FUNCTIONS

HUMIDITY CONTROL

This system can control the relative
humidity (RH) in your home when you
have an additional humidifier and/or
dehumidifier installed. Dehumidification
can be achieved one of two ways, either
with a whole-home dehumidifier or with
your air conditioning equipment. See page
27 for details. If a humidifier is installed,
it can be controlled in one of two modes,
Automatic or Manual. These settings are
configured by your installer.

Automatic Mode

In automatic mode, you will receive an
optimal amount of humidity so that your
home and its furnishings are protected
from the damaging effects of excessively
high or low humidity during the heating
season. The control automatically adjusts
your home’s RH based on the outdoor
temperature. This temperature is measured
by a sensor attached outside your home.

1

The humidity setting needs to be set
initially to meet your home's conditions.
Please follow these steps when adjusting
your control.

1. Touch Humidity Control to open the

Humidity Control Select screen.

2. Touch Humidifier to open the

Humidifier Control screen.

3. The normal humidity range is 3-5. Use

setting 3 initially.

During the next 24-48 hours, it may be
necessary to adjust the setting for more or
less humidity, depending on your personal
comfort and home’s requirements.

During the coldest portion of your first
heating season, minor adjustments
may be necessary to prevent window
condensation. This will depend on your
home’s construction.

The relative humidity in your home will
then be accurately controlled to meet
your needs and should not need further
adjustment during future heating seasons.

2

26

INDOOR AIR QUALITY FUNCTIONS

HUMIDITY CONTROL (continued)

Manual Mode

In manual mode, it is important to anticipate
a drop in outdoor temperature and to reduce
the setting accordingly to avoid excessive
condensation. Use the table on the right side of
the Humidifier Control screen to determine the
proper RH setting.

4. Touch the or arrows to adjust the

RH accordingly, and then touch Done when
finished.

Dehumidification

The control will allow you to set the desired
RH level in your home and can be used to turn
dehumidification on or off.

5. Touch the arrow to increase the amount

of humidity the dehumidifier will allow. The
air will be less dry and the dehumidifier will
run less.

4

6. Touch the arrow to decrease the amount

of humidity the dehumidifier will allow. The
air will be less humid and the dehumidifier
may run more.

If dehumidification is done with the air
conditioner, the control will cool up to 3°F beyond
the cooling setpoint for dehumidification.

Note: Overcooling may not be sufficient to meet
the dehumidification setpoint.

Use the dehumidification adjustment to set the
dehumidification setpoint to 60% when first
installed. Allow dehumidification to run until the
initial setpoint is reached, before deciding if you
want to change the humidity setting.

Your comfort is the best measure of how to
adjust your setting. When first installed, your
dehumidifier has to remove all the moisture that
is initially in your home. The home acts like a
sponge so the moisture in the materials of your
home is at the same level as the air. After drying
the air, the materials of the home will release the
moisture back into the air until they are again at
the same level. As a result, it is not uncommon
for dehumidification to operate for an extended
period of time when it is first installed.

5

6

Energy Saving Tip #1: Adjust the setting to be as high as is comfortable
to reduce dehumidification run time – if it feels clammy or smells damp or
moldy, lower the setting. Set the Dehumidifier Control to Off when you open
your windows.

Energy Saving Tip #2: If your home will be unoccupied for an extended
period during the summer, set the Dehumidifier Control setpoint to 60%
RH and your cooling setpoint as high as you feel comfortable. Consult
appropriate professionals regarding the highest temperature that is safe for
your pets or possessions. This will keep the humidity at a controlled level to
help prevent mold while minimizing the amount of the cooling energy used.
Vacation hold is a convenient way to adjust the dehumidification and cooling
setpoint while you are away.

EVENT BASED™ AIR CLEANING

If an air cleaner is installed, the control
will activate the fan for the purpose of air
cleaning.

1. Touch Air Cleaning on the home screen

to open the Air Cleaner Control screen.

TEMPORARY EVENTS

Event Clean (3 Hour): When you need

the fan to run non-stop for a short while,
such as while vacuuming, choose this
option. When selected, the air cleaner
will run continuously for 3 hours and then
return to the previous Permanent Mode.

Allergies (24 Hour): When seasonal
allergies spike and outside air quality
is at its worst, choose this option.
When selected, the air cleaner will run
continuously for 24 hours and then return
to the previous Permanent Mode.

PERMANENT MODES

Off: The control will not call for the fan

to run for the purpose of air cleaning. Air
Cleaning will still occur during normal
fan operation, during heating, cooling or
other indoor air quality events.

1

Automatic: The air cleaner will run a
minimum of 30 minutes every hour. The
air cleaner will monitor the amount of
time your heating and cooling system
runs. If 30 minutes is not reached, the air
cleaner will automatically turn on. This
will provide the most-efficient balance
between air cleaning and energy use.

Constant Clean: This option will provide
the maximum amount of air cleaning
available. The air cleaner will be active for
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

to the previous Permanent Mode.

1

24 hour Event: When you want a large
amount of fresh air to be brought into the
home, such as on a day with desirable
outdoor conditions, choose this option.
Ventilation will run continuously for 24
hours and then return to the previous
Permanent Mode.

PERMANENT MODES

Off: When you want to override the

normal schedule and disable ventilation,
such as when the home will not be
used or when conditions outside are
undesirable due to a high allergen
presence or similar, choose this option.
Ventilation will not run.

Automatic: Ventilation will cycle
based on the time calculated by your
installer to meet your home’s minimum
requirements.
