SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS DEVICE. PROPER ADHERENCE TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS IS ESSENTIAL TO OBTAIN MAXIMUM BENEFIT FROM YOUR SANTA FE VENTILATING DEHUMIDIFIER. WARNING! THIS SYMBOL MEANS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO HEED THEM CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. CAUTION! THIS SYMBOL MEANS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO HEED THEM CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR MATERIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DEHUMIDIFIER SET UP Important Precautions •T he device is designed to be installed indoors in a space that is protected from rain and flooding. • Install the unit with enough space to access one of the side panels for maintenance and service. • Avoid directing the discharge air at people.
ATTACHING DUCT COLLARS Duct Collar Installation Remove the two round ducts, oval duct, and oval duct seal and small bag of mounting hardware from inside the rectangle opening. Fresh Air Ventilation Duct Fresh air ventilation is optional. Attach 6" diameter duct to the unit using the screws provided. The 6" duct should be capped if fresh air is not desired. If setting up the unit to provide fresh air ventilation, see page 10.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The Santa Fe Dehumidifier plugs into a common grounded 115 VAC outlet. Locate the dehumidifier in an area where the cord’s length (9') easily reaches a 115 VAC electrical outlet with a minimum of 15 Amp circuit capacity. The Santa Fe 205H requires a dedicated 20 Amp circuit. If used in an area that may become wet, a GFCI protected circuit is recommended. Consult local electrical codes for further information.
DRAIN INSTALLATION The Santa Fe Dehumidifier generates condensate. Place a secondary drain pan with a float switch under the dehumidifier if it is suspended above a finished area or above an area where water leakage could cause damage. A drain trap is required for the dehumidifier to drain properly. Install a 3/4" threaded male NPT adapter to the drain pan. Install a drain pipe assembly utilizing 3/4" PVC pipe to transport the condensate to a drain. Pitch of drain should be 1" per 10'.
DUCTING TO HVAC SYSTEMS The recommended installation creates a separate return for the Santa Fe Dehumidifier in a central area of the structure. Duct the supply of the unit to the air supply of the existing HVAC system. Connect an insulated duct from outside to the 6" collar of the Santa Fe Dehumidifier to provide fresh make-up air. Adjust the damper in the duct to provide the desired amount of fresh air. CAUTION! DO NOT CONNECT WITH A STATIC PRESSURE GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO +0.5 WG.
DUCTING TO HVAC SYSTEMS Recommended HVAC System Installation The recommended installation draws air from a dedicated indoor air return and ducts the supply of the dehumidifier to the air supply of the existing HVAC system. Utilize the optional fresh air ventilation duct to provide outside air. • Install a dedicated air return for the Santa Fe Dehumidifier from a central area of the structure.
FRESH AIR VENTILATION Fresh air ventilation is optional. Fresh air may be brought into the structure by connecting an insulated duct from outside the structure to the 6" inlet of the Santa Fe Dehumidifier. A ventilation control is needed to program the time and frequency that the unit introduces outside air. The time and frequency of ventilation should be based on the size and occupancy of the residence.
FRESH AIR VENTILATION Determine Ventilation Requirements The MINIMUM ventilation requirement is calculated using ASHRAE 62.2-2016. Use one or both of the options below to determine your ventilation requirement. Follow all local and national building and safety codes. Option 1: Calculating Airflow Requirement Using ASHRAE 62.2-2016 Airflow Equation ASHRAE Airflow in CFM = [House Area in Sq.Ft. x 0.03] + [(Number of Bedrooms +1) x 7.
CONTROLS A control must be used with this Santa Fe Dehumidifier. Santa Fe offers the DEH 3000 proprietary control. The DEH 3000 allows homeowners to monitor and control relative humidity and proper ventilation levels in their home. This control is also available with a remote sensing option. Note: The DEH 3000 is sold seperately and can be purchased online or through your local dealer. Other thermostats are compatible with the Santa Fe Dehumidifier.
AIR FILTRATION This Santa Fe Dehumidifier is equipped with a MERV-13 (Dimensions: 1.75” x 15.50” x 19.50”) filter. The filter should be checked and replaced every three to six months. Operating the unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity and efficiency. DO NOT operate the unit without the recommended filter. Filter non-compliance voids the product warranty. CAUTION! MAKE SURE UNIT IS OFF BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTER.

SERVICE Troubleshooting CAUTION! TROUBLESHOOTING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED HVAC TECHNICIAN. Symptom Possible Reason Troubleshooting Procedure Neither fan nor compressor running. Dehumidification is being called for. 1. D ehumidifier unplugged or no power to outlet. 2. H umidity control set too high. 3. Loose connection in internal or control wiring. 4. D efective compressor relay. 6. O pen circuit between FLOAT terminals.
SERVICE Troubleshooting (Continued) Symptom Possible Reason Fan is not running. Dehumidification or fan is being called for. 1. Loose connection in fan circuit. 2. Obstruction prevents fan impeller rotation. 3. Defective fan. 4. Defective fan relay. Low dehumidification capacity (evaporator is frosted continuously). Dehumidification is being called for. 1. Defrost thermostat loose or defective. 2. Low refrigerant charge. 3. Dirty air filter(s) or air flow restricted. 4.
WARRANTY Limited Warranty.
