How to Operate

After both the Humidex and the exhaust vent are properly installed, you can now plug the Humidex in the closest outlet. The Humidex unit possesses a label illuminated by LEDs that will indicate the set humidity preference, if the unit is powered On and if the unit has detected a higher than usual amount of CO.

To set your humidity preference, press the center button of the label to cycle through the different humidity settings. If you wish to have the unit on for a continuous basis, press the button until the humidity level reaches 25%. If you would like it to run to its minimal capacity, press the button until the humidity level reaches 65%. Manufacturer’s suggested setting is to be place the humidity level between 45% and 55%.

The Humidex garage and multipurpose humidity control unit will reduce moisture levels inside your garage or shed. Whether you want to keep your wood dry for your furnace or just want a dryer space, Humidex is the unit that can make it possible.

The Humidex garage unit also contains a Carbon Monoxide(CO) sensor which allows you to monitor CO levels in your garage or shed.

How the CO Sensor Works
The built in carbon monoxide sensor allows the unit to monitor the garage or shed for any amount of CO in the air. To help the user understand the unit’s process an indicator light has been added

The indicator light will have three (3) different display modes

Double blink mode:
In order to function properly, the CO sensor is required to warmup, during these warmup sequences the indicator light will blink twice. On initial start- up, the unit will warm up for up to 48 hours this is required for proper functionality.

Single blink mode:
If the unit is not in a warmup sequence and the sensor detects a low level of CO, the indicator light will blink and the Humidex will also try to reduce the quantity of CO by going into high speed mode.

Solid Light:
If a higher level of carbon monoxide is detected the CO indicator will turn a solid color. During this time the humidex will run at a high speed to try and reduce the CO levels

Note: The device cannot guaranty that it will be able to evacuate the CO from your garage or shed. It should also be noted that the Humidex device cannot replace a certified CO measuring device.
