2.5 Power Switch
The power switch (right of hour meter) lights up when the
unit is turned on. If the unit is going to run for more than
2 hours in an area below 50°F, the defrost timer should be
adjusted to improve performance.
2.6 Purge Switch
Pressing and holding the purge switch (left of hour meter)
will cause the condensate pump to run. This pump
minimizes the water left in the condensate reservoir prior
to moving or storage. Hold the switch in until the flow from
the condensate hose stops.
2.7 Hour Meter
The digital hour meter measures the cumulative time that
the unit is turned on to tenths of an hour. It stores its
total when the unit is unplugged; the previous total will be
displayed when the unit is next turned on. It resets to zero
after 99,999.9 hours of operation.
2.8 Thermostat Operation
Adjust the cooling thermostat to the desired conditioned
space temperature. The thermostat has a range of 60°
to 100°F. Turning to “ON” will operate unit continously
regardless of conditioned space temperature.
2.9 Defrost Timer
DRYING TIP:
Air’s ability to absorb moisture from wet
surroundings and the Phoenix Arctic Max ability to remove
moisture from that air is greatly improved at higher
temperatures. The defrost cycle is automatic and designed
for optimum performance above 50°F.
2 Operation
2.1 Transporting
The Phoenix Arctic Max must always be upright when
transported by vehicle. It may be tipped onto its handle
and back for loading and moving by hand. The Phoenix
Arctic Max features a high-impact plastic skid plate which
protects the unit while navigating obstacles such as curbs,
stairways, and while loading into vehicles.
2.2 Electrical Requirements
The Phoenix Arctic Max plugs into a common grounded
outlet on a 15 Amp circuit. It draws 11.8 Amps at 95°F,
60% RH. If used in a wet area, a ground fault interrupter
(GFI) is required. If an extension cord is required, it must
have a minimum of 14 gauge conductors if 25 feet long or
less and 12 gauge conductors if greater than 25 feet long.
2.3 Condensate Removal
The Phoenix Arctic Max is equipped with an internal
condensate pump to remove the water that is condensed
during dehumidification. This allows the condensate to be
pumped 20’ with the attached hose. If the condensate
must be pumped more than 20 feet above the unit, a
second pump must be added to relay the condensate. If
the pump fails and the unit must be used before it can be
replaced, the condensate can be drained by gravity.
The air inlets and outlets on top, rear, and the side of
the unit must be at least 1 foot from walls and other
obstructions to air flow. If the humid area is very large,
dehumidification can be improved by adding an outlet duct
to circulate air to stagnant areas.
2.4 Ducting
A detachable rectangular exhaust
collar is supplied to allow 10”
round lay-flat duct to be
attached to the
Phoenix Arctic
Max cooling
outlet. Lay-flat
plastic ducting is
available. See
accessories
on page 6. To
attach ducting
to a collar, put
the plastic duct end through the
collar center and roll the duct end
outward so that it overlaps the
outside of the collar. The duct and
collar may then be quickly attached to
the Phoenix Arctic Max by snapping the
collar over the four screws at the blower
outlet.
