INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
IO-DV070
IO-DV070
Installation Considerations
• This equipment is designed to be installed INDOORS
IN A SPACE THAT IS PROTECTED FROM RAIN AND
FLOODING.
• Install the unit with enough space to access one of
the side panels for maintenance and service.
• Avoid directing the discharge air at people, or over the
water in pool areas.
• If used near a pool or spa; be certain there is NO
chance the unit could fall into the water, splashed
and that it is plugged into a GFCI (GROUND FAULT
CIRCUIT INTERRUPT) OUTLET.
• DO NOT use the unit as a bench or table.
• DO NOT place the unit directly on structural members.
• A drain pan MUST be placed under the unit if installed
above a living area or above an area where water leak-
age could cause damage.
• Locate the unit near the existing HVAC system to mini-
mize the required ductwork for connecting it to the
existing air handling system. The controls for the dehu-
midifier are remote from the unit and must be located
in the space that is to be conditioned. The controls are
low voltage (24 VAC) and should be connected to the
unit with low voltage thermostat cable.
• If fresh air ventilation is desired, thought should be
given to the location for the fresh air ducting. A 6"
round insulated duct will have to be attached to the
8" supply duct of the unit and run to the outside of
the home to bring in fresh air. Use an 8" insulated
round duct for lengths of more than 50 feet or if
more than 100 CFM is needed. Consult local codes
for necessary distances from exhaust ports when
installing fresh air return.
Power Accessibility
Unit should be located in an area where the cord's length
(9') can easily reach a 115VAC electrical outlet with a
minimum of a 15 A circuit capacity.
Space
Location should have enough clearance to handle the
unit's overall dimensions as well as the necessary
return/supply ductwork to the unit. Allow a minimum
12" clearance to the side of the unit to allow for filter
removal and replacement.
Low Voltage Wiring
Unit location should be in an area where field wiring the
remote controls (low voltage) to the unit will be possible.
Back-Draft Damper
It is recommended that a backdraft damper be used in
the supply duct of the DV070, especially when connecting
to the supply ducting system. The backdraft damper
prevents supply air from counter flowing through the
DV070 when it is not operating. The unit location should
be chosen to allow installation of this accessory if
requested by the end user.
Support Structure and Suspension
Place the DV070 on supports to raise the base of the
unit 2.5” above the drain pan beneath it. Do not place
the DV070 directly on structural building members with-
out vibration absorbers or unwanted noise may result.
The DV070 may be suspended with steel hanger straps
(plumbers tape) or a suitable alternative from structural
members, as long as the suspending assembly supports
the DV070's base in its entirety. Do not hang the DV070
from its cabinet. Remember to place a drain pan under
the unit if it is suspended above a finished area or above
an area where water leakage could cause damage.
Electrical Requirements
i
CAUTION!
Do not allow the 24V Terminal from DV070 to contact
the COM or DMPR Terminals from the DV070 or the
transformer will be destroyed.
The Clean Comfort DV070 dehumidifier plugs into a
common grounded 115VAC outlet. The device draws
5.1 Amps under normal operating conditions. If used
in a wet area (or a basement prone to flooding), a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit
is required. Please, consult local electrical codes for any
further information.
