Electricals
Electrical Requirements:
The Comfort-D is equipped with an appliance cord and may be plugged directly
into a 120 volt, 15 amp household type convenience outlet� If used in a wet area
such as an indoor pool, spa room, or an area prone to flooding (basement or
crawlspace), a ground fault interrupter protected circuit is required. In all cases
local codes precede over all installation and wiring recommendations�
If a remote wall mounted Humidistat is utilized, install the Humidistat control in a
central area of the structure where it will sense the relative humidity of the struc-
ture accurately� Do not install the control where it may not accurately sense the
relative humidity: near HVAC supply registers, near exterior doors, or near a pool
or spa� Do not install the control in an area not served by the Comfort-D� The in-
staller must supply the wiring between the Comfort-D and the Humidistat control�
Be sure to safely route the control wiring to prevent damage during installation�
Be careful not to cross the wires when connecting the Comfort-D and the control,
or damage to the transformer may result�
When a remote Humidistat is utilized, set the unit mounted humidistat to the
“OFF” position.
Consult the electrical schematic in this manual or on the access panel of the
Comfort-D before making the control connections�
Condensate Removal:
Condensate drains by gravity, via the ¾” PVC drain outlet located at two loca
-
tions, front side and back side� Use of both is not required� As shipped the rear
drain is plugged, and may be removed and placed into the front drain outlet if the
rear outlet is used� Also included with the unit is the condensate drain trap� This
trap must be used to allow the unit to drain properly during operation and prevent
air from being drawn from the area where the unit is located� A condensate pump
kit (by others) may be required if a lift is necessary to dispose of the condensate.
If a condensate pump is used, the condensate trap is still necessary and must be
installed between the unit and pump� When the condensate drain is located in,
or passes through, a non-conditioned space, the condensate piping should be in-
sulated to prevent sweating, which may cause damage� Double trapping should
be avoided and will cause drainage problems if encountered�
