humidity levels are reached.
Many dehumidifying applications require
humidity to be controlled at set relative
humidity levels (RH) to avoid shrinkage of
materials, cracking plaster, furniture etc.
The FD40 has been designed taking this into
account and thanks to the external
humidistat you will be able to control the
humidity levels as desired in the room.
