CENTRAL / ZONED (CONVERTIBLE) INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
The Aprilaire central dehumidifier can be utilized not only for whole home humidity and comfort control, but also for addressing
specific zones or spaces that are high priority for humidity control. In this application, the central dehumidifier will control
humidity in the specific zone independently, as the higher priority, and then switch to the whole home when the HVAC equipment
is on/operating. Do Not use a Model 70 Living Space Control in this application.
NOTE: 1. 4522 Basement Kit includes 2 – 6508 N.C. Dampers, 2 – 6608 N.O. Dampers and a 24 VAC Transformer.
2. Running Constant fan on will prevent proper function in this mode.
