3.3.20 Diagnostic Mode - Refrig. Test 

The display will communicate to the user the following 

information during a Refrigeration Test:
Inlet = Temperature and RH/Grains
Outlet = Temperature and RH/ Grains
Hours = Life hours only.
Evaporator Coil = Temperature
Countdown timer = 20 minutes
Once the 20 minute countdown timer has expired, the 

display will automatically advance to show the refrigeration 

test results. The display will communicate to the user either 

“Refrig. test passed” or “Refrig. test failed”.
Press the Next button to return to the first diagnostic test or 

press and hold the Next button for 3 seconds to return to the 

Dashboard.

 
3.4 Condensate Removal

The Phoenix Dry Max is equipped with an internal 

condensate pump to remove the water that is condensed 

during dehumidification. This allows the condensate to 

be pumped up to 20 feet with the attached hose. If the 

condensate must be pumped more than 20 feet above the 

unit, a second pump must be added to relay the condensate. 

The condensate pump automatically purges when the 

reservoir is full. Use the PURGE button to manually remove 

condensation.  

3.5 Ducting

A wire duct collar is supplied to allow 10” lay-flat duct to 

be attached to the Phoenix Dry Max outlet. Lay-flat plastic 

ducting is available; see section 6 Options and Accessories. 

To attach ducting to the wire duct collar, put the plastic duct 

end through the collar center and roll the duct end outward 

so that it overlaps the outside of the collar. The duct and 

collar may then be quickly attached to the Phoenix Dry Max 

by snapping the collar over the four exhaust tabs. 

3.6 Defrost Cycle

If the low side refrigerant temperature drops due to excessive 

frost formation on the evaporator coil and below the 

temperature set point, the thermistor activates the PLC and 

Status Light Indicator. The compressor is cycled off and on by 

the thermistor temperature measurement. The air mover will 

continue to run, causing air to flow through the evaporator 

coil and melt the ice when the compressor is off. When the 

air temperature and/or humidity increases, the evaporator 

temperature will rise and the thermistor will end the defrost 

cycle at the temperature set point

3.7 POWER Button

When the dehumidifier is plugged in it will enter stand-by 

mode.  

Press the 

button to turn the dehumidifier on. The unit 

will begin the Powering Up sequence and you will see this 

screen:

Press and hold the  

to turn the dehumidifier off. The 

dehumidifier will go through a powering-down cycle.
