4. Installation
4.1 Location
The Quest Dehumidifier can be installed in a variety of locations to meet the owner’s needs as listed below. In all cases
keep the following cautions in mind:
• It is designed to be installed INDOORS IN A SPACE THAT IS PROTECTED FROM RAIN AND FLOODING.
• Install the unit with space to access the back and side panels for maintenance and service and also to allow easy
access to the filter cover panel. DO NOT INSTALL UNIT WITH THE FRONT PANEL OR FILTER COVER
PANEL INACCESSIBLE.
• Avoid discharging the air directly at people, or over the water in pool areas.
• Be certain there is NO chance the unit could fall into water or be splashed and that it is plugged into a GROUND
FAULT INTERRUPTER.
• DO NOT use the Quest Dehumidifier as a bench or table.
• DO NOT place the Quest Dehumidifier directly on structural members. Provide vibration isolation in order to
minimize operational vibration and/or noise.
• A drain pan MUST be placed under the unit if installed above an area where water leakage could
cause damage.
Place the Quest Dehumidifier on supports that raise the base of the unit 7cm above the top of the flanges on the
drain pan beneath it. Raising the Quest Dehumidifier will help the unit drain with gravity flow. Do not place the Quest
Dehumidifier directly on structural building members without vibration absorbers or unwanted noise may result.
4.2 Electrical Requirements
The Quest Dehumidifier may be suspended with steel hanger straps or a suitable alternative from structural members,
unit must be supported from underneath. Don’t hang from sides or ends. 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. See section 4.4
The Quest Dehumidifier plugs into IEC rated receptacles. The amp draws for each unit under normal operating
conditions are listed on page 4. A ground fault interrupter protected circuit is required.
Install the remote control panel in a central area of the structure where it will sense the relative humidity of the structure
accurately. Do not install the control panel where it may not accurately sense the relative humidity such as near HVAC
supply registers, near exterior doors, or near a pool or spa.
The installer must supply the wiring between the Quest
Dehumidifier and the control panel. Be sure to safely route the control wiring to prevent damage during installation. Be
careful not to cross the wires when connecting the Quest Dehumidifier and the remote control panel.
The remote controls of the Quest Dehumidifier are powered by a low voltage circuit (24 VAC) and must NEVER
contact or be connected to a high voltage circuit. The control terminals and remote control are labeled and numbered
to prevent confusion. Be sure to consult the electrical schematic in this manual or inside the access panel of the Quest
Dehumidifier before making the control connections.
CAUTION! For proper drainage, the unit must be mounted so the drain outlet is at least 7cm
above the floor drain, and must be fully supported under the base.
