For additional information on how to create a proper trap,
see our instructional video at:
www.Santa-Fe-Products.com/draintrap
Use care to keep the hose as flat to the floor as possible
after your trap is in place. Be sure the hose is not kinked or
otherwise restricted so water can pass through the hose
freely. Improper installation of the drain hose may result in
water leakage.
If the Santa Fe Compact2 is located too far from the floor
drain and the provided hose does not reach, you may use a
1/2” PVC rigid pipe to extend the drain. Rigid PVC tubing is
readily available from your local hardware store. Be sure the
extension is at a down-word slope to the drain.
An optional condensate pump kit may be installed if lift is
required to remove condensate. To order, contact your local
dealer or visit our website at www.santa-fe-products.com.

5. Ducting
5.1 Duct Kit (P/N 4033039)
A factory designed outlet duct kit can be purchased to
accept 10" ducting to both outlets of the Santa Fe Advance2.
Contact your dealer or order online.
6. Operation
6.1 Humidity Control Adjustment
The humidity control is an adjustable switch that closes when
the relative humidity of the air in which it is located rises to
the dial set point. It opens when the RH drops 4 to 6% below
the set point.
Approximate Humidity Levels Per Setting:
“Drier” 20% to 30% Relative Humidity
“Normal” 45% to 55% Relative Humidity
(Recommended)
“Humid” 80% to 90% Relative Humidity
The dehumidifier will run until the relative humidity (RH) is
reduced to the humidity control dial setting.
Quality humidity meters are available from the factory and
are recommended to accurately monitor humidity levels.
Refer to the options and accessories table in this document.
6.2 Fan Switch
Turning the impeller switch to
“FAN ON”
will cause the unit’s
internal impeller to run continuously, whether the unit is
dehumidifying or not. This function is desirable if the unit is
used for air circulation.
Turning the fan switch to
“FAN AUTO”
will cause the unit’s
internal blower to run only while the unit is dehumidifying.
7. Maintenance
CAUTION!
NOTE: Do not operate the unit
without the filter or with a less effective filter. The
heat exchange coils inside the unit could become
clogged and require disassembly to clean.
7.1 Air Filter
The Santa Fe Advance2 ships with a standard MERV 8
pleated fabric filter. This should be checked every six
months. The pleated fabric filter can generally be vacuumed
clean several times before needing replacement. Operating
the unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity
and efficiency and may cause the compressor to cycle on
and off unnecessarily. Replacement filters can be ordered
from your dealer or by calling 1-800-533-7533.
8. Service
WARNING!
Servicing the Santa Fe
Advance2 with its high pressure refrigerant
system and high voltage circuitry presents a
health hazard which could result in death, serious
bodily injury, and/or property damage. Only
qualified service people should service this unit.
8.1 Technical Description
The Santa Fe Advance2 uses a refrigeration system similar
to an air conditioner’s to remove heat and moisture from
incoming air, and add heat to the air that is discharged. Hot,
high pressure refrigerant gas is routed from the compressor
to the condenser coil. The refrigerant is cooled and
condensed by giving up its heat to the air that is about to be
discharged from the unit. The refrigerant liquid then passes
through a filter/drier and capillary tubing which cause the
refrigerant pressure and temperature to drop. It next enters
the evaporator coil
where it absorbs
heat from the
incoming air
and evaporates.
