Important
When wiring the temperature sensor please make sure that the coloured wires are wired up to the
correct terminals as follows: Red (+) to 4, Black (-) to 5 and Yellow (V) to 6.
Do not over load the devices output Relay. Its maximum values are: 220v, 10A, 2200 watts.
Care must always be taken when working with electricity.

Overview
The DHC-100+ works as either a humidifying or dehumidifying controller depending on how it is setup.
The unit will display the current humidity unless the user has entered one of the Parameter Menus to change
any of the settings.
The following describes the diagram of the front panel pictured above.
Set Indicator: Will light when the user has entered one of the Parameter Menus.
Out indicator: Flashing = Time Delay is in force. Continuously Light = Output Relay is operating.
Increase & Decrease Indicator: This indicates which mode the unit is operating in. If the Decrease
Indicator is lit then the unit is working as a Dehumidify Unit or if the Increase Indicator is lit it would be
operating as a Humidifying unit.
Wiring
Please use the following wiring diagram to wire your devices for items that require 220v to 240v.
ITS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE SENSOR IS WIRED PROPERLY USING THE DIAGRAM BELOW
OTHERWISE THIS WILL DAMAGE THE SENSOR. Red (+) to 4, Black (-) to 5 and Yellow (V) to 6.
Please note that the Output Relay (1 & 2) only requires to cut the live (hot) wire when turning the connected
devices on and off. The Output Relay does not require a Neutral (Cold) wire.
When the Output Relay is not activated the terminals 2 & 3 are connected so that terminal no. 3 is live instead.
If an earth is required this should be wired up separately perhaps via a terminal block.
Operating Instructions
Parameter Overview
The 2 main settings on the unit are the Set Point and the Difference Parameters.
Set Point: indicates what midway humidity level the unit is to achieve.
Difference: The point away from the Set Point that the Output Relay should start or stop operating.
The difference value is the top and bottom range that you wish the unit to try and maintain. Using the following
settings of Set Point = 50% and Difference = 5% the following happens.
Humidifying Mode: the relay turns on when at or below 50% (Set Point) and turns off when at or above 55%
Dehumidify Mode: the relay turns on when at or above 50% (Set Point) and turns off when at or below 45%
The main settings can be checked at any time: In normal mode, press the UP key to display Humidity Set
Point or press the DOWN key to display the Difference setting.

Parameter Settings can be changed in one of three different Menus. The User and Admin Menus are used to
adjust the main parameter settings marked with an F.
User Menu: Press and hold the SET key for about 3 seconds until the display changes. This allows
changes to the Parameters F1 & F2 only. Helpful if you are only making minor adjustments.
Admin Menu: Press and hold SET and UP keys together for about 3 seconds until the display
changes. This allows changes to the Parameters F1 to F8.
The Sensor Menu is only used to coordinate the sensor attributes with the DHC-100+ unit. These settings are
marked as B1, B2, K1 & K2. Each DHC-100+ unit is pre set with the sensor that has been attached to it as
each sensors attributes are individual to that sensor. This makes for a more accurate reading and allows users
to replace the sensor with another compatible type in the future but still allow the DHC-100+ to remain
accurate.
Sensor Menu: Press and hold the set key for 10 seconds This changes the Parameters B1 to K2
