DRAIN INSTALLATION
The drain outlet on the dehumidifier can be hard piped using a 3/4" PVC Slip x 3/4" MNPT fitting and 3/4" nominal drain tubing or the provided 3/4"
MNPT x 3/4" hose barb fitting and 3/4" clear PVC tubing can be used to drain the dehumidifier� Always maintain a constant downward slope from the
dehumidifier to the drain and do not allow soft tubing to curl up which may result in air lock�
NOTE:
PTFE thread seal tape is recommended for the
threaded connection and
hand tighten only
� If hard pipe is used, PVC primer and cement is recommended for the slip fit connection�
LEVELING
A level surface is required to ensure proper drainage from the dehumidifier�
CONDENSATE PAN, CONDENSATE PUMP AND FLOAT SWITCH
A condensate pan is recommended when locating in or above a finished
space or suspending over the canopy� Adhere to local codes regarding
draining of the condensate pan� If a condensate pump is needed, install
it in the condensate pan as well�
Install a condensate overflow safety switch (i�e� float switch) in the
condensate pan, remove the factory installed jumper wire between
the Float Switch terminals on the control and wire the float switch to
the dehumidifier as shown in
FIGURE 3
� Overflow safety switches on
condensate pumps can be wired to the Float Switch terminals in a
similar fashion�
