MOUNTING

Follow manufacturer’s instructions, if available. Other- wise proceed as follows. The H46C,D,E,F mount on a wall at a location that will best sense  the  relative humidity of the room. The H46C and D models must be mounted with the adapter plate  on  a  vertical  switch box. H46E and F models mount with two screws in keyhole slots in back of case.

WIRING

All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.

FOR MILDEW CONTROL AND DEHUMIDIFICATION

Vacation homes that are unoccupied during the hot, humid Florida summer are an invitation to mildew. The

common cure is to simply select a moderate thermostat setting and let the air conditioner run. By applying either a low voltage thermostat in combination with an H46C Dehumidistat or a W884E Comfort Center, mildew can be reliably prevented and air conditioning energy use can be optimized. The dehumidistat and thermostat should be wired in parallel such that by leaving the
system switch in COOL and selecting appropriate set points for example, 85° F [29° C] and 50 percent RH, either device will be able to control the air conditioning equipment. This independent operation will allow the higher temperature set point and still prevent mildew by controlling humidity. For wiring diagrams See Figs. 3 and 4. –

H46C & E DEHUMIDIFY CONTROLLERS

The H46C and E switches make contact on a relative humidity rise to the set point to start the dehumidifier. A decrease in relative humidity to the set point minus the differential breaks the switch contact to stop the dehumidifier. Turn the control knob clockwise m to the setting stop to put the dehumidifier in the ON position. Set to the OFF position by turning the control knob counterclockwise n to the stop.

H46D & F HUMIDITY CONTROLLERS

The H46D and F switches make contact on a humidity fall to the set point minus the differential. In most humidifier systems, the furnace fan must be operating before the humidifier starts. An increase in humidity to the set point breaks the switch contacts.
Turn control knob clockwise n to the stop for ON position. Set to the OFF position by turning the control knob counterclockwise n to the stop.

CHECKOUT

Place the system in operation and observe through at least one complete cycle to make certain that all components are functioning properly.
