Santa Fe HC Owners Manual
4.1D In A Remote Area, Duct Outlet Only (Fig. 7)
A simplified remote installation method than above
uses ducting between the Santa Fe HC discharge
and the humid room; the Santa Fe HC inlet draws air
from the room in which it's located. This works well if
there is an adequate air flow path between the two
rooms; e.g. high door undercut, louvered door or wall
grill. This eliminates the need to remote mount the
humidity control.
Before installing the dehumidifier in the manner
described in section 4.1D (Fig. 7), call the factory
for specific instruction if backdraft devices (i.e.
hot water heaters) are present in the space to
be dehumidified.
4.1E In A Remote Area, Duct Inlet Only (Fig. 8)
When the Santa Fe HC 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 back draft. This can be prevented by
installing a duct from the humid room to the Santa
Fe HC inlet and by allowing the Santa Fe HC to dis-
charge 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 well.
A remote humidity control may need to be mounted
in the humid area and wired to the Santa Fe HC
to accurately maintain the desired humidity. Local
electrical codes must be followed when wiring the
control.
4.2 Remote Humidity Controls
All remote humidity controls should be mounted in a
central area of the the space to be dehumidified where it
can accurately sense the humidity of the air in the living
space and be accessed. All controls require field wiring
from the unit location to the panel mount location.
4.3 Electrical Requirements
The Santa Fe HC plugs into a common grounded outlet
on a 15 Amp circuit. It draws between 12 and 13 Amps
under normal operating conditions. If used in a wet area
(pool, spa room, or basement prone to flooding), a ground
fault interrupter protected circuit is recommended.
4.4 Condensate (Water) Removal
Condensate drains by gravity via the clear hose extending
from the unit. Use care to keep the hose as flat to the
floor as possible. Excessive humps or kinks will prevent
proper drainage. If the Santa Fe HC is located too far
from a floor drain for the attached hose to reach, 1/2"
PVC pipe can be used to extend it. It is commonly
available in 10' lengths from building supply, plumbing
and hardware stores. It will slide tightly inside the end
of the drain hose. Space and location requirements
should be taken into account when incorporating a
trap for the assembly as shown in Figure 12.
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.
