CONDENSATE REMOVAL
IO-DV070
IO-DV070
The DV070 can be controlled by a variety of devices
including the Clean Comfort DVP-4034748 or DVP-4034753
digital controls. The controls are to be located remotely
from the unit and located in the space to be conditioned.
The controls are low voltage (24 VAC) and should be
connected to the DV070 with low voltage wire
(thermostat or other appropriate).
Install the digital control in a central area of the home
where it will sense the relative humidity accurately.
i
CAUTION!
Do not install the control where it may not accurately
sense the relative humidity such as near HVAC supply
registers, exterior doors, windows, water sources, or
on an outside wall.
The installer must supply the wiring between the
DV070 and the control. Be sure to safely route the
control wiring to prevent damage during installation.
i
CAUTION!
Do not cross wires when connecting the DV070 and
the control or damage to the transformer may result.
The remote controls of the DV070 are powered by a
low voltage circuit (24VAC) and must NEVER contact
or be connected to a high voltage circuit.
The screw terminals on the DV070 and the control
are labeled to prevent confusion.
Some of the screw terminals on the DV070 may not
be used with certain control and should be left
unconnected. Be sure to consult the electrical
schematic in this manual or inside the access panel
of the DV070 before making control connections.
Condensate (Water) Removal
The Clean Comfort DV070 dehumidifier generates
condensate. Condensate drains by gravity via the drain
port. Install a 3/4" male NPT adapter to the drain pan.
It is necessary to assemble your own drain pipe assembly
utilizing 3/4" PVC pipe to route the condensate to a drain.
Pitch/grade of drain should be 1" per 10'.
Take care when installing drain pipe to drain port of the
DV070; Use an adjustable wrench to secure the drain port.
When installing the drain hose make sure the feet are
extended such that the dehumidifier is 2 1/2" off the
ground. Then coil the drain hose under itself or position
a spacer to lift the hose 1" off the ground after the hose
has touched the ground.
This procedure will create a
trap that ensures your unit drains correctly
. See the
diagram below for further visual clarification.
i
CAUTION!
A trap in the drain line is required for the unit to drain
properly. Local codes may require a trap. Use care to
keep the pipe assembly as flat to the floor as possible.
Kinks and/or humps will prevent proper drainage.
Lifting Condensate
An optional condensate pump may be installed if a
vertical lift is required to dispose of the condensate.
The condensate pump can be ordered direct from
your dealer.
Condensate Pump Installation (optional)
A condensate pump can be installed on the condensate
drain line of the Clean Comfort DV070 dehumidifier if
vertical lift is required to dispose of the condensate.
Condensate is automatically pumped to a remote location
when the water level in the condensate pump's reservoir
rises to close the automatic float switch. In the event
the pump fails and water rises too high in the reservoir a
Safety Float Switch will become open. The leads from this
