Solutions HCWHD3-070 - Start Up and Operation Sequences; Single Zone Operation (Dehumidifier Control); Single Zone Operation (External Control); Remote Control Operation (Y6456)

Start Up and Sequence of Operation
SINGLE ZONE WHOLE HOUSE OR STAND ALONE
USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER CONTROL
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the dehumidier control
ON. The display will show the current setting, and the
dehumidier blower and HVAC blower (if wired to the
HVAC system) will turn on to start sampling the air.
The setting will be replaced by the measured humidity
and “AIR SAMPLING” will show on the display.
2. Use the UP or DOWN button to adjust the humidity
setting as desired. The recommended initial setting is
55%.
3. After three (3) minutes of sampling, the measured
humidity will be compared to the setting:
a. If the humidity is above the setting, the dehumidier
compressor turns on and “AIR SAMPLING” will be
replaced by “DEHUMIDIFYING”. The compressor
remains on until the measured humidity falls 3% RH
below the setting.
b. If the measured humidity is below the setting, the
blowers turn off and the display returns to showing
the RH setting.
4. The dehumidier will sample again every 60 minutes,
or at any time if the humidity setting is lowered.
SINGLE ZONE WHOLE HOUSE OR STAND ALONE
USING AN iCOMFORT
®
THERMOSTAT OR Y6456
EXTERNAL CONTROL
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the dehumidier control
ON. “EXTERNAL” will show on the display to indicate
that an external control is wired to the dehumidier.
2. At the iComfort
®
Thermostat, make sure the Aux
dehumidier is selected in installer setup and humidity
display is turned on from the HO system settings screen.
At the Y6456, press the ON button; the Y6456 will display
the measured RH.
3. From the iComfort
®
Thermostat home screen, press
the arrow on the right side of the screen to access the
features screen, then select system setting icon and
adjust dehumidify setting to desired setting. Use the UP
or DOWN button on the Y6456 to adjust the humidity
setting as desired. The recommended initial setting is
55%.
4. If the %RH measured by the iComfort
®
Thermostat rises
above the dehumidication setting, the dehumidier will
turn on as will the indoor blower, and the home screen
will show the system is dehumidifying. The system will
turn off when the %RH set point is reached. If the RH
measured by the Y6456 rises above the setting, the
dehumidier will turn on as will the HVAC blower (if wired
to the HVAC system). “DEHUMIDIFYING” will appear on
the dehumidier control display to show that the Y6456 is
calling for dehumidication. The dehumidier and HVAC
blower (if on) will turn off when the RH measured by the
Y6456 drops 3% RH below the setting.
CRAWL SPACE OR SEALED ATTIC (REMOTE)
CONTROL USING Y6456
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the dehumidier control
ON. “REMOTE” will show on the display to indicate that
a remote control is wired to the dehumidier.
2. At the Y6456, press the ON button; the Y6456 will
display the RH measured at the dehumidier, and the
dehumidier blower will turn on to start sampling the air.
3. Use the UP or DOWN button on the Y6456 to adjust the
dryness level as desired. The dryness levels are from
1 to 7, with 1 being least dry and 7 being most dry; the
recommended initial setting is 3.
4. After three (3) minutes of sampling, the measured
humidity will be compared to the setting:
a. If the humidity is above the setting, the dehumidier
compressor turns on and “ON” ashes on the Y6456
display.
b. If the measured humidity is below the setting, the
dehumidier blower turns off.
5. The dehumidier will sample again every 60 minutes,
or at any time if the dryness level is increased.
TWO ZONE – PRIMARY AND SECONDARY
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the dehumidier control
ON.
Dehumidication of the Primary Zone follows the same
sequence as described to the left for Single Zone, with
or without a Y6456 external control installed in the
Primary Zone. The dehumidier control display will show
“PRIMARY ZONE” in addition to that described to the
left when sampling or dehumidifying the Primary Zone.
The zone dampers are energized when sampling or
dehumidifying the Primary Zone.
2. The Secondary Zone uses the humidity setting on the
dehumidier control. During Secondary Zone sampling
or dehumidication, the zone dampers are de-energized
and the HVAC blower (if on) stops. “SECONDARY
ZONE” will show on the dehumidier control display when
the Secondary Zone is either sampling or dehumidifying.
If the Primary Zone had just nished a dehumidication
demand, the compressor will continue to run during
Secondary Zone sampling to prevent short cycling of
the compressor.
The Secondary Zone is sampled immediately after
the Primary Zone has nished sampling, or if there
is a call for dehumidication from the Primary Zone,
immediately after the call has been satised. When a
Y6456 external control is installed, the Secondary Zone
will be sampled once per hour if there has not been a call
for dehumidication from the Primary Zone. Secondary
Zone sampling will also occur whenever the setting on
the dehumidier control is lowered.
