Santa Fe HC Optional Remote Humidity Control
CAUTION:
This should only be performed
by a qualified electrician.
A 120Vac remote humidity control is available from the factory.
This replaces the factory mounted humidity control on the
cabinet of the dehumidifier, and allows the unit to accurately
sense the humidity in an area other than the one where the unit
is located.
1. Unplug the unit.
2. Pull the black humidity control knob off from the back of the
unit, exposing 2 screws. Remove the screws.
3. Remove the side panel of the dehumidifier by removing 9
hex screws. Remove four screws on back of unit to expose
electbox.
4. Remove the 4 screws securing the wiring box to the inside
of the blower end of the dehumidifier, and pull the box away
from the cabinet to allow access.
5. Insert a romex connector or conduit connector into the hole
in the cabinet that is left after the dehumidistat is removed.
Pass the cable to be used to connect to the remote
dehumidistat through the connector.
6. Disconnect the dehumidistat leads and reconnect with the
new wires.
7. Replace the wiring box and screws. Replace the side cover
and screws. Tighten any loose screws on the connector.
8. Run the new wire to the location desired to sense relative
humidity. Install a 120 volt (ac) dehumidistat according to
local electrical codes.
