VIII-FACTORY-INSTALLED Hot Gas Re-Heat
General
Hot Gas Re-Heat units provide a dehumidifying mode of
operation. These units contain a reheat coil adjacent to
and downstream of the evaporator coil. Reheat coil sole-
noid valves, L14 and L30, route hot discharge gas from
the compressor to the reheat coil. Return air pulled across
coil adds heat to supply air.

L14 and L30 Reheat Coil Solenoid Valves
and refrigerant is routed to the reheat coil.
Reheat Setpoint
Reheat is factory-set to energize when indoor relative hu-
midity rises above 60% (default). The reheat setpoint can
be adjusted by changing Unit Controller Settings - Control
menu. A setting of 100% will operate reheat from an ener-
gy management system digital output. The reheat setpoint
can also be adjusted using an optional Network Control
Panel (NCP).
Reheat will terminate when the indoor relative humidity
falls 3% (57% default) or the digital output de-energizes.
The reheat deadband can be adjusted at Settings - Con-
trol menu.
A91 Humidity Sensor
relative humidity is 80% + 3%, the humidity sensor output
should read 8.00VDC.
Check the sensor output annually for accuracy. Keep the
air intake openings on the sensor clean and free of ob-
structions and debris
