4.2C Remote Area With Ducted Supply (Figure 3)
A simplified remote installation method than above uses
ducting between the Santa Fe Impact discharge and the humid
room; the Santa Fe Impact 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; i.e. high door undercut,
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
4.2D (Fig. 4), call the factory for specific
instructions if backdraft devices (i.e. hot
water heaters) are present in the space to be
dehumidified.
4.2D Remote Area With Ducted Return (Figure 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!
4.3 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.
4.4 Condensate (Water) Removal
The Santa Fe Impact drains via gravity, therefore, it does not
have the ability to push condensate (water) upwards. The drain
hose must run down towards the drain location. Condensate
can be drained by using the 5/8” clear vinyl hose and the 3/4”
threaded adapter provided. Ensure the threaded adapter is
threaded in tightly.
CAUTION!
The Santa Fe Impact requires a drain trap. Creating a drain trap
allows a small amount of water to build up in the trap area of
the clear hose. This prevents air from back flowing through
the hose and into the dehumidifier; essentially causing the unit
to backflow water out of the corners of the machine. Position
the trap in the hose approximately 8"-10” from the dehumidi-
fier and make sure the highest point of the trap is still at least
2”below the black drain port adapter on the dehumidifier. If the
highest point of the trap is above the drain port, water will back
flow into the dehumidifier. Check the hose regularly to ensure
water is draining properly.
Several trap options include:
