WHOLE-HOUSE DEHUMIDIFIER OPERATION AND INSTALLATIONS
In this configuration, the dehumidifier will pull air from the principle living space or the return duct. The air passes through the
dehumidifier, where moisture is removed, and then is returned to the HVAC system downstream of the cooling coil in the main supply
duct. The dehumidifier will turn on with the first HVAC blower call in each time interval (see CONTROL AND SETUP section on page
12 to set time interval) in order to get an accurate air sample. If no HVAC blower call occurs during the time interval, the dehumidifier
will activate its own internal blower and take an air sample. If the incoming air is above the set point, the dehumidifier compressor
will turn on. Even if the HVAC blower shuts off, the dehumidifier will continue to run until the set point is satisfied. If an HVAC call
starts when the dehumidifier is running the dehumidifier will continue to run.

In this installation, the inlet to the dehumidifier will come from a new return duct installed in a principle living space. Air is drawn
from this area, through the dehumidifier and into the supply duct of the HVAC system, as shown in Figure 1.
Note: Due to backflow of air through the dehumidifier while it is not running, it is recommended to install an optional powered
damper (6508). A wiring connection is provided. A 24-volt transformer (not provided) is required to power the damper.
A barometric or other backdraft damper should not be used due to the large pressure drop.
