PREPARATION OF DEHUMIDIFIER FROM DELIVERY
The dehumidifiers are shipped with the mains cable and condensate discharge hose stored inside
the unit casing.
Once located in the area where the unit is to operate (see section 3.1), the dehumidifier can be
prepared for operation. The side panel should first of all be removed. This will require a Philips
screwdriver to remove the panel fixing screws.
Remove the side panel
Pass the mains cable through the upper circular hole at the foot of the pillar and
secure with the cable gland.
Pass the end of the condensate hose through the lower circular hole in the pillar.
The condensate discharge system is designed to operate with the hose supplied.
Under no circumstances should a smaller internal diameter hose be fitted as this will
impair the ability of the units to discharge the condensate at the required rate.
Place the condensate discharge hose in an appropriate drain. If the dehumidifier is
to be discharged by pump then the drain should not be more than 2 metres above the
base of the dehumidifier. If the dehumidifier is to discharge by gravity then the hose
must be laid on the floor and taken to a drain that is below the base of the
dehumidifier.
The dehumidifier is supplied ready to discharge the condensate by pump. If gravity
discharge is required then refer to the operation section 3.2. of this manual.
Replace the side panel.

The dehumidifier is supplied with a remote humidistat. This can be positioned either
remotely within the space or mounted directly on to the casing of the dehumidifier. It
is wired into the electrical box via the terminals shown on the wiring diagram. If the
unit is required to operate without the humidistat then these terminals should be
linked together.
It is recommended that the unit, once positioned, is stood at rest for 24 hours prior to
operation.
