Frequently Asked Questions - IHC200 Inkbird

How to set the desired humidity on the IHC200?

Press briefly the SET button to enter quick setting mode, then use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to adjust the value. Press SET again to confirm. For advanced settings, hold SET for 2 seconds to access parameters (HS, HD, etc.).

How to connect the IHC200 to Wi-Fi?

Download the Inkbird Pro app from the App Store or Google Play. Register, then press '+' to add a device. Hold the button on the controller for 2 seconds to enter Smartconfig mode (LED flashes rapidly). Follow the instructions in the app. Wi-Fi must be 2.4 GHz.

What to do if the screen shows 'ER'?

The ER display indicates a humidity probe fault (short or open circuit). Check the probe connections and replace if necessary. The audible alarm can be stopped by pressing any button. The device will resume normal operation once the issue is resolved.

How to calibrate the measured humidity?

In the normal setting menu (hold SET for 2s), navigate to the CA parameter. Use the ▲/▼ buttons to add or subtract a correction value (from -20 to +20% RH). The displayed value will then be: measured humidity + calibration value.

How to set the high and low humidity alarms?

Access the normal setting menu (hold SET for 2s). Look for the AH (high alarm) and AL (low alarm) parameters. Set the desired value (AH between 5 and 99% RH, AL between 5 and 99% RH, with AL < AH). If exceeded, the screen flashes and the buzzer sounds an alarm.

What is the dehumidification delay (PT)?

The PT parameter (0-10 minutes) prevents too frequent dehumidification cycles. When humidity exceeds the threshold, the device waits for the set delay before activating the dehumidification output. This protects the dehumidifier compressor.

How to reset the IHC200 to factory settings?

Hold down the button (the one used for Wi-Fi) while plugging in the device. The buzzer beeps briefly and all parameters are restored to default values (target humidity 50% RH, differentials 5% RH, etc.).

What types of outlets are available on the IHC200?

The device has two output outlets: WORK1 (humidification, red indicator) and WORK2 (dehumidification, green indicator). Each outlet supports up to 10 A (1200 W at 120 V~ / 2200 W at 220 V~).

How to clean the IHC200?

Always unplug the device before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Never immerse the controller in water and avoid abrasive products. Regularly check that the outlets and cable are in good condition.

What is the warranty of the IHC200?

The controller is warranted 2 years and the humidity probe 1 year against manufacturing defects. Damages due to misuse, unauthorized modification or normal wear are not covered. For any claim, contact [e-mail].

06 Basic Operations

6.1 Instructions for Humidity Control Setting(HS,HD,DD)

The PV Screen displays the measured value of current humidity when working normally, recognize and switch between humidification mode and dehumidification mode automatically.

If the measured Humidity (PV) ≤ Humidity Setting Value (HS)-Humidification Differential Value (HD), the equipment will enter humidification state, the red led is on, WORK1 output socket turns on. If the measured Humidity (PV) ≥ Humidity Setting Value (HS), the red led is off, WORK1 output socket turns off.

If the measured Humidity (PV) ≥ Humidity Setting Value (HS) + Dehumidification Differential Value (DD), the equipment will enter dehumidification state, the green led is on, WORK2 output socket turns on. If the green led is blinking, indicating that the dehumidification device is in the state of the dehumidification delay protection, WORK2 output socket turns off. If the measured Humidity (PV) ≤ Humidity Setting Value (HS), the green led is off, WORK2 output socket turns off.

Example: HS=50.0%RH, HD=5.0%RH, DD=8.0%RH, If PV (the measured humidity) ≥ 58.0%RH (HS+DD), the equipment will enter the dehumidification state, the green led is on, WORK2 output socket turns on. If PV ≤ 55.0%RH (HS), the green led is off, WORK2 output socket turns off.

If PV ≤ 45.0% RH (HS-HD), the equipment will enter the humidification state, the red led is on, WORK1 output socket turns on. If PV ≥ 50.0% RH (HS), the red led is off, WORK1 output socket turns off.

Note: There is no need to judge the differential value of humidification or dehumidification when power on or exiting the setting state. For example: when power on or exiting the setting state HS=50.0%RH, HD=5.0%RH, DD=8.0%RH. If PV (the measured humidity) > 50.0%RH (HS), it will enter the dehumidification state. When PV ≤ 50.0%RH (HS), the dehumidification stops, then return to normal humidity control mode. If PV < 50.0%RH, it will enter the humidifica

tion state. When PV ≥ 50.0% RH, the humidification stops, then return to normal humidity control mode.

6.2 High/Low Humidity Alarm (AH,AL)

The equipment will alarm if the value of measured humidity (PV) ≥ the set value of high humidity alarm (AH), the PV screen will display the set value of high humidity alarm (AH) and the current humidity value alternately, the buzzer will alarm like "bi-bi-Biii" until the value of measured humidity (PV) < the set value of high humidity alarm (AH). You can also stop the alarming by pressing any button of the equipment.

The equipment will alarm if the value of measured humidity (PV) ≤ the set value of Low humidity alarm (AL), the PV screen will display the set value of low humidity alarm (AL) and the current humidity value alternately, the buzzer will alarm like "bi-bi-Biii" until the value of measured humidity (PV) > the set value of low humidity alarm (AL). You can also stop the alarming by pressing any button of the equipment.

Note: The setting value of low humidity alarm (AL) should be less than the setting value of high humidity alarm(AH).

6.3 Dehumidification Delay Time (PT)

The equipment will not start immediately in

the mode of dehumidification for the first time if the measured value is larger than the sum value of set humidity value and dehumification return difference, the equipment will start to dehumidify after the set delay time.

The equipment will dehumidify immediately if the interval time of two adjacent dehumidification is longer than the delay time. The equipment will dehumidify after delay time if the interval time of two adjacent dehumidification is shorter than the delay time.

The delay time start timing when last dehumidification is done.

Note: There is no need to judge the delay time when power on or exiting the setting state.

6.4 Humidity Calibration (CA)

If the measured humidity differs from the standard humidity, you can calibrate the device by adding or reducing the correction value to align the measured humidity to the standard humidity. The calibrated humidity = the measured humidity value + the calibration value.

07 Sensor Fault Alarm

If the humidity sensor is in circumstances of short circuit or open circuit, the controller will enter probe fault mode and stop running, the buzzer will alarm and the screen will display ER. You can press any key to stop the buzzer and the controller will back to normal working state when all malfunctions are resolved.
