CONDENSING UNIT SET UP
Important Precautions
• The condensing unit is designed to be installed outdoors in a space that is protected from extreme
weather (rain, wind, etc.). Do not place the condensing unit in direct sunlight.
• Place the condensing unit at least 1” above ground level.
• Place the condensing unit as close as possible to the dehumidifier to minimize the length of the
connecting lines. The maximum line set length is 50 feet.
• Ensure the mounting of the condensing unit can withstand strong winds and earthquakes when mounting above ground
level.
• The condensing unit may be mounted to a wall (with brackets) or placed on a roof.
• Mount the base of the condensing unit to a sturdy level pad (or bracket) using 3/8” (10mm) bolts.
• Avoid directing the discharge air at people.
• If used near a water source; be certain there is no chance the dehumidifier could fall into the water or get splashed and that
it is plugged into a dedicated circuit and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protected outlet.
• DO NOT use the condensing unit as a
bench or table.
• DO NOT place the condensing unit
where the sound and vibration caused
by running the unit will a cause a
nuisance. Vibration dampening material
may be installed between the condensing
unit base and the mounting pad if required.
Location Considerations
• Allow sufficient clearance to handle the
unit’s overall dimensions.
• Place the condensing unit where there is
adequate space for the unit and the air
required by the unit.
• Install the condensing unit with space
to access the top and side panels for
maintenance and service.
CAUTION!
THIS SYSTEM CONTAINS BOTH REFRIGERANT AND OIL. SOME RUBBER ROOFING MATERIAL
MAY ABSORB OIL AND CAUSE THE RUBBER TO SWELL WHEN IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH
OIL. THE RUBBER WILL THEN BUBBLE AND COULD CAUSE LEAKS. PROTECT THE ROOF SURFACE
TO AVOID EXPOSURE TO REFRIGERANT AND OIL DURING SERVICE AND INSTALLATION.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS NOTICE COULD RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO ROOF SURFACE.
