door undercut, louvered door or wall grill. This eliminates the
need to remote mount the humidity control.
WARNING!
Before installing the
dehumidifier in the manner described in section
4.1D (Fig. 4), call the factory for specific
instructions if backdraft devices (i.e. hot
waters heaters) are present in the space to be
dehumidified.
4.1D In A Remote Area, Ducted Return Only (fig. 4)
When the Santa Fe Max Dry Dual XT is located in a room
separate from the main area to be dehumidified, it may be
desirable to dehumidify and/or slightly pressurize that room.
Pressurization assures that open combustion devices do
not backdraft. This can be prevented by installing a duct
from the humid room to the Santa Fe Max Dry Dual XT inlet
and by allowing the Santa Fe Max Dry Dual XT to discharge
dehumidified air into the room in which it’s located. An
adequate air flow path must exist between the two rooms for
this method to work properly.
WARNING!
4.2 Electrical Requirements
The Santa Fe Max Dry Dual XT plugs into a common grounded
outlet on a 110-120 VAC 15-Amp circuit. Use of a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit is recommended. The
unit should not be used in areas prone to flooding.
CAUTION!
For proper drainage, the
unit must be mounted so the drain outlet is at
least 4" above the floor drain, and must be fully
supported under the base.
4.3 Condensate (Water) Removal
Condensate drains by gravity via the drain port. Use 3/4"
male NPT PVC pipe. Route drain to drain. Install a trap
if possible. Take care when installing drain pipe to drain
port. Use an adjustable wrench to secure the drain port. An
optional condensate pump kit (4028614) may be installed if
a lift is required to dispose of the condensate. To order call
1-800-533-7533.
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.
5. Ducting
5.1 Supply Duct Kit (P/N 4028607)
A factory designed supply duct kit can be purchased to
accept 10" ducting to both outlets of the Santa Fe Max Dry
Dual XT. Contact your dealer or call 1-800-533-7533 to order.
