4.5 Drainage and Trap
The Santa Fe HC requires a trap. Unit should be located in an
area where the unit’s condensate (water) may be easily routed
to a suitable drain.
Thread the PVC barb fitting into the drain outlet on the front
of the unit. Push the hose onto the barb fitting past two
barbs minimum to ensure a good fit.
Route the drain hose through the trap as shown in Figure 12.
Position the trap on the hose approximately 12” away from
the unit.
5 Ducting
5.1 Optional Ducting Kit
An inlet shroud with a 10" round collar and an 10" round
exhaust collar are available from the factory that will allow
round ducting to be attached to the inlet and/or outlet of
the Santa Fe HC. Refer to the optional equipment table
in this document.
5.2 Ducting for Dehumidification
Ducting the Santa Fe HC requires consideration of the
following points:
Duct Sizing:
For total duct lengths up to 50 feet, use a
minimum 8" diameter round or equivalent rectangular.
For longer lengths, use a minimum 10" diameter or
equivalent. Grills or diffusers on the duct ends must
not excessively restrict air flow.
Isolated Areas:
Effective dehumidification may require
that ducting be branched to isolated, stagnant areas. Use
6" diameter branch ducting to each of two or three areas,
use 4" to each of four or more areas.
6 Operation
6.1 Humidity Control Adjustment
The humidity control is an adjustable switch that closes when
the relative humidity of the air in which it is located rises to
the dial set point. It opens when the RH drops 4 to 6% below
the set point.
Approximate Humidity Levels Per Setting
“Low”
35% to 45% Relative Humidity
“Normal” 45% to 55% Relative Humidity (Recommended)
“High”
55% to 65% Relative Humidity
The dehumidifier will run continuously until the relative
humidity (RH) is reduced to the humidity control dial setting.
The Santa Fe HC unit (and refrigerant based dehumidifiers in
general) will reduce a warm space's RH to a lower level than
that of a cool space. Therefore there is no benefit to set the
humidity control to excessively low levels in cool rooms. Doing
so will result in long periods of ineffective dehumidifier run time.
Quality humidity meters are available from the factory and
are recommended to accurately monitor humidity levels.
Refer to the options and accessories table in this document.
