SYSTEM CHECKOUT
1. Check the wiring to the HVAC equipment.
2. Rotate the main control knob clockwise to the “TEST” position.
3. If all is set up properly, the dehumidifier blower will turn on. The compressor will turn on after the dehumidifier blower has run
for 30 seconds. After 1 minute the dehumidifier blower and compressor will shut off (“TEST” mode only).
4. If the dehumidifier blower does not activate in TEST mode, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
5. For ventilation (optional) test, be sure that 24 VAC is applied in series with the Aprilaire ® Normally-Closed Damper
(Model 6506) and connected to the “VENT DAMPER” terminals on the dehumidifier control.
6. Rotate the “CYCLE TIME” potentiometer clockwise to the “TEST” position.
7. If all is set up properly, the HVAC blower will turn on and the ventilation damper will open. Both should be audible to the
installer. The HVAC blower will remain on and the ventilation damper will remain open for 1 minute or until the dial is turned
from the “TEST” position, whichever happens first.
8. If the optional ventilation damper or HVAC blower does not activate in TEST mode, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
