louvered door or wall grill. This eliminates the need to remote
mount the humidity control.
WARNING!
Before installing the
dehumidifier in the manner described in section
4.1D (Fig. 4), call the factory for specific
instructions if backdraft devices (i.e. hot
waters heaters) are present in the space to be
dehumidified.
4.1D In A Remote Area, Ducted Return Only (fig. 4)
When the Santa Fe Impact is located in a room separate
from the main area to be dehumidified, it may be desirable
to dehumidify and/or slightly pressurize that room.
Pressurization assures that open combustion devices do not
backdraft. This can be prevented by installing a duct from the
humid room to the Santa Fe Impact inlet and by allowing the
Santa Fe Impact to discharge dehumidified air into the room
in which it’s located. An adequate air flow path must exist
between the two rooms for this method to work properly.
WARNING!
4.2 Electrical Requirements
The Santa Fe Impact plugs into a common grounded outlet on
a 110-120 VAC 15-Amp circuit. Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit is recommended. The unit
should not be used in areas prone to flooding.
CAUTION!
For proper drainage, the
unit must be mounted so the drain outlet is at
least 4" above the floor drain, and must be fully
supported under the base.
4.3 Condensate (Water) Removal
Condensate drains by gravity via the drain port. Use 3/4"
male NPT PVC pipe. Route drain to drain. Install a trap
if possible. Take care when installing drain pipe to drain
port. Use an adjustable wrench to secure the drain port. An
optional condensate pump kit (4028614) may be installed if
a lift is required to dispose of the condensate. To order call
1-800-533-7533.
When installing the drain hose make sure the feet are
extended such that the dehumidifier is 2 1/2" off the ground.
Then coil the drain hose under itself or position a spacer to
lift the hose 1” off the ground after the hose has touched the
ground. This procedure will create a trap that ensures your
unit drains correctly. See the diagram below for further visual
clarification.
5. Ducting
5.1 Supply Duct Kit (P/N 4028607)
A factory designed supply duct kit can be purchased to
accept 10" ducting to both outlets of the Santa Fe Impact.
Contact your dealer or call 1-800-533-7533 to order.
