HumiTherm-c (Dry-Wet) User Manual TEMPERATURE-ONLY MODE The controller can be configured to operate in Temperature-only mode by setting the %RH SP value to 0. In this mode, the controller controls only the Dry Bulb Temperature at the set value through Heater Control Output-1. The %RH Control Output- 2 is kept off.
HumiTherm-c (Dry-Wet) User Manual Section 3 PAGES AND PARAMETERS ORGANIZATION The controller requires various user settings that determine how the controller will function or operate. These settings are called Parameters. The parameters are always presented in a fixed format: The Lower Readout displays the parameter prompt (Identification Tag) and the Upper Readout displays the set value.
