Installation Instructions

This document covers the operation and installation instructions for the following Condair digital humidistat:

  • Kit No. Description
  • 2602797 0-10 V Digital Wall Humidistat

Mounting and Installation

Location:
Mount the humidity controller Condair RDC-NA in a protected and easy accessible place at least 1.5 m above the floor to the wall (mounting on flush-mounting or surface-mounting box). Observe the following placement notes:

  • Do not place Condair RDC-NA in niches, behind, curtains, etc.
  • Do not place the Condair RDC-NA near heat sources, within an area with direct air draft or direct sunlight.

Installation:
Refer to the installation overview in section 2.

  1. Open the screw of the housing and remove the mounting plate with the connecting unit.
  2. Connect wires of the connection cable to the terminals according to the wiring diagram.
  3. At the place of location fix the mounting plate (plastic screw facing downwards) with two screws to the flush-mounting or wall-mounting box (see dimensional drawing).
  4. Carefully snap the housing onto the mounting plate and fix it with the screw (do not tighten the screw too much).

Note: We recommend using 18-gauge wire, and a maximum <100 ft distance from the unit.

Setting Parameters to Configure the Controller

The control operation is defined by parameters set using the standard operation terminal. There are two levels:

  • User/display parameters (password 0009)
  • Control parameters (password 00241)

How to change the parameters:

  1. Press button simultaneously for three seconds. The display will show the firmware version and revision number.

  2. Press the button to start login. The small digits show “CODE”.

  3. Select correct code (password) using and buttons.
    Note: Code to access user parameters is “0009”. The access codes are fixed and cannot be changed.

  4. Press the button after selecting the correct code.

  5. Once logged in with “0009”, the user/display parameters are displayed immediately.

  6. Select the parameters with the or button. Change a parameter by pressing the  button. The symbol is displayed to indicate that the parameter may be modified. Use the  or  button to adjust the value.

  7. After you are done, press the button to save the new value and return to the selection level (the symbol disappears after the selection is saved). Pressing the  button without pressing the button will discard the value and return without saving.

  8. Press the button to leave the menu. The unit will return to normal operation if no button is pressed for more than 5 minutes.
