*Function.
The ALFA(NET) 29 is a digital hygrostat for panel and wall mounting. The function
from the hygrostat can be programmed for dehumidify or humidify.
The ALFANET 29 has a RS 485 network connection so it can be read out and
adjusted on the Alfanet.
* Installation.
On the topside of the ALFA(NET) 29 is shown how the sensor, power supply and
relay have to be connected.
After connecting the ALFA(NET) 29 to the power supply, a self-test function is
started. As this test is finished, the measured relative humidity appears in the
display.
When the relay is activated, the led 'on' will light-up in the display.
*Control.
The ALFA(NET) 29 hygrostat can be controlled by three push buttons on the front.
These keys are:
SET - view / change the setpoint.
UP - increase the setpoint.
DOWN - decrease the setpoint.

*Viewing setpoint.
By pushing the SET key the setpoint appears in the display. The led 'set' starts
blinking. A few seconds after releasing the SET key the setpoint disappears and the
measured value is shown again in the display.
*Changing setpoint.
Push the SET key and the setpoint appears in the display. Release the at SET key.
Now push the SET key again and together with the UP or DOWN keys the setpoint
can be changed. A few seconds after releasing the keys the measured value shows
again in the display.
*Setting internal parameters.
Next to the adjustment of the setpoint, some internal settings are possible like
differential, sensor-offset, setpoint range and the function dehumidify or humidify.
By pushing the DOWN key more than 10 seconds, you enter the 'internal
programming menu'. In the left display the upper and lower segment are blinking.
Over the UP and DOWN keys the required parameter can be selected (see table for
the parameters).
If the required parameter is selected, the value can be read-out by pushing the SET
key. Pushing the UP or DOWN keys together with the SET key allows you to change
the value of this parameter.
If after 20 seconds no key is pushed, the ALFA(NET) 29 changes to it's normal
operation mode.

*Adjustment sensor.
The sensor can be adjusted by using the Sensor Offset (parameter 04). Indicates
the ALFA(NET) 29 e.g. 2 %RH too much, the Sensor Offset has to de decreased
with 2 %RH.
*Error messages.
In the display of the ALFA(NET) 29 the following error messages can appear:
EE - Settings are lost. Solution:
- Reprogram the settings.
