Control Assembly
The overlay of the Control Assembly for the two speed
models displays an Humidity Control Switch,
(humidification min. to max. range), Fan Speed Switch
(HI and LO), and a Bucket Full LED. (See Figure 7a1.)
On the single speed model, there is no Fan Speed Switch.
(See Figure 7a2.) A Humidistat cycles both the fan and
compressor ON or OFF to maintain humidity at the set
level. The humidity sensing element is a nylon film which
stretches with increased humidity and contracts with
decreased humidity. This action turns a switch in the
control ON and OFF to cycle the unit.
