WIRING
No additional wiring is needed unless:
• a separate, remote control such as a dehumidistat is to be
used
• a oat switch, either integral to a condensate pump or
mounted to the condensate pan, is used
Use 18-22 AWG wire for any needed wiring� Access the
dehumidier wiring terminals by pulling off the wiring access
cover near the dehumidier control display (see FIGURE 12).
Snap the wiring access cover back into place after completing
all wiring�
WIRING TO A FLOAT SWITCH
Use only if the installation includes a oat switch or a
condensate pump. The dehumidier leaves the factory with a
jumper wire installed in the oat switch terminals. Remove the
jumper and wire the oat switch terminals to the oat switch or
condensate pump overow switch as shown in FIGURE 14�
AIR CYCLING
The dehumidier has an optional ventilation feature that can
be used to circulate air through the dehumidier, to promote
uniform humidity levels throughout the space� When this
feature is enabled, the dehumidier fan can be set to run from
0 minutes (no air cycling) to 60 minutes (continuous) per hour.
NOTE: The on-board control must be used when Air Cycling�
WIRING TO REMOTE CONTROL
The Model 76, when used as a remote control, allows the user
to see the humidity sensed by the dehumidier and adjust
the dehumidier setting from a remote location. This is most
often used when the dehumidier and serves a hard-to-reach
location such as a crawl space or basement�
If using the AprilAire Model 76 as a remote control, wire to the
{+ - A B} terminals. Refer to the installation instructions for the
control being used for wiring details�
NOTE: Air cycling is not an option when using a Model 76 as a
remote control�
