Installation, Operation & Service Instructions

Read and Save These Instructions

The Phoenix D385 provides the perfect combination of 

features and performance the restoration industry has been 

craving in a desiccant dehumidifier. Designed to operate 

vertically or horizontally, the Phoenix D385 provides the 

wide operating range and ultra-low grains of a desiccant with 

the water removal capacity of the largest LGR’s in cabinet 

dimensions identical to our popular Phoenix  

200 Max.
The D385 delivers 385 CFM of ultra-low grain process air and 

removes an incredible 130 pints per day at AHAM conditions. 

The true four hole configuration* allows the Phoenix D385 to 

be located in the affected area with the 75 CFM re-activation 

air stream isolated from the drying chamber. Three hole 

designed units** inherently pull unaffected and/or outside 

air into the drying chamber. The D385’s four hole design 

allows the restoration contractor to set-up for effective 

positive, neutral or negative pressure operation. 
Able to operate vertically or horizontally, the D385 will fit 

inside most crawlspaces. Having the D385 securely inside, 

rather than outside the crawlspace access, deters the 

possibility of tampering with the dehumidifier or the set-up. 

The 385 CFM of process air will provide 3 ACH on an affected 

area up to 7000 cubic feet. 
The Phoenix D385 is easy to transport and set-up. The 

D385 will fit on your truck in the areas already designed 

for your LGR’s and will move around the jobsite with the 

same portability. All the power to the unit is provided by 

two 115 volt grounded power cords. Simply plug the cords 

into separate 15 amp circuits. Each cord draws only 12 

amps to power the D385. The re-activation air stream is 

ducted through 6” flex duct provided with the unit and stores 

conveniently in the top of the unit.

*Having completely separate process and regeneration airstreams.
**Where regeneration airstream is pulled from the process airstream.
