Santa Fe Compact70 Installation & Operation Instructions
Ducting To Finished Areas (Optional)
• Place the Santa Fe Compact70 in the unfinished area
of the basement, near a drain access (condensate will
drain via gravity or with an optional pump kit).
• Using the supply duct collar, supply the dry air from
the dehumidifier into a large, open area in the finished
section of the basement.
• Place a return grill / passive vent on the other side of
the wall that separates the finished and unfinished
areas. This will allow for a circular air flow throughout
the basement.
• The passive grill will prevent the unfinished room from
being placed under a negative pressure and also allow
the dehumidifier to focus on keeping the unfinished
area dry as well.
• The onboard dehumidistat control can be used on the
unit for this application or a 120 volt dehumidistat
can be placed in the finished basement as well (we
recommend using an electrician to run the wiring).
• Be sure to keep all doors open to any other rooms in the
basement to help with proper air circulation (bedrooms,
bathrooms, etc.)
• Place the Santa Fe Compact70 in the unfinished area of
the basement, near a drain access (condensate will drain
via gravity or with an optional pump kit).
• Using the supply and return duct kit, supply the dry air
from the dehumidifier into a large, open area of the fin-
ished basement. Use the return duct kit to draw air back
through the dehumidifier.
• Be sure the return and supply are at least 10 feet away
from each other for proper air flow throughout the
basement. Add a passive grill between the finished and
unfinished areas (
*
or have a 2” gap under the door
separating the two rooms). This will help keep the
unfinished area dry as well.
• Use the 120 volt, wall mounted dehumidistat for this
installation for proper run time on the dehumidifier
(we recommend using an electrician to install the
separate 120 volt control).
• Be sure to keep all doors open to any other rooms in the
basement to help with proper air circulation (bedrooms,
bathrooms, etc.)
