REMOVAL
When the unit is powered, the screen will display PLEASE
WAIT WARMING UP. Upon completion of the warm-up
procedure it will display UNIT ON XXX
HRS and will cycle between INLET XX% (RH) and INLET
XXX°F.
The Display Menu is used for cycling through the displays
of additional User Settings and dehumidifier conditions.
Press once on the ON/OFF key to go back to the main
menu.
Alter system settings. The MENU SELECTION key works
as the UP key when cycling through the selected
setpoints. Press once and release to display the amount
of water eliminated in pints per day. After five minutes of
operation, the unit displays WATER REMOVAL XXX
PINTS/24HRS. After a few seconds, the display
automatically returns to reading "Unit on.
For the best results, use your dehumidifier in an area
that is enclosed. Close all windows and doors opening to
the outside to increase the water removal efficiency.
Note: Connect the unit only to two different circuits of 15A. A bright green illumination on the face of the screen
shows that the connection is correct. The green light will not illuminate if both the power cords are inserted
into the same circuit or when using a single cord.
For maximum efficiency, use both circuits while ensuring that the green light illuminates.
However, the dehumidifier may run on one power cord if the second circuit is not
available. Plug into Circuit 1. When using a single power cable, the dehumidifier
operates at half the rated performance.
Positioning the Dehumidifier
When connecting the dehumidifier to power for the first time, the control panel briefly cycles
through various readouts. This is a regular self-diagnosis procedure for the unit; thus,
no intervention by the user is required.
Ducting Setup
Note, the unit is designed for indoor use only. The equipment should not be exposed to snow or rain.
If any electrical component becomes wet, allow for thorough drying before operating the unit.
Reactivation Outlet Ducting
To attach the ducting on the duct ring, use the provided duct clamp. Ensure that the reactivation air is ducted
to the outside.
NOTICE
During operation, condensate may collect inside the reactivation duct. Water should not run back into the unit;
this could damage the unit. Or lead to a shock hazard.
Note: The temperatures in the React Out ducting may reach 66°C (150°F).
Only use the heat-rated ducting provided.
Process Outlet Ducting
The out air should be ducted, where more drying is required. It should only be used with a lay-flat ducting.
Maximum Ducting length
For maximum performance, ducting should not exceed these lengths:
Reactivation air: 20 feet |. 6m
Inlet air: 30 feet |. 9.1m
Process air: 10feet | 3 m
For additional ducting options, see figure C
