CONTROLS AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Positioning the Dehumidifier
For best results, operate your dehumidifier in an en-
closed area. Close all doors and windows that open to
the outside to maximize water removal efficiency. Place
your dehumidifier away from any obstructions that could
block airflow into and out of the unit. Duct reactivation
outlet outdoors through window adapter or dryer vent.
Plug in electrical cords
Always plug the cords firmly into the sockets in the
top compartment first, then into the wall outlets. En-
sure that the cords are routed properly through the
cord cutout notch before closing the storage com-
partment lid.
NOTICE: The power cords of the DriTec must be
plugged into separate GFCI-protected 120V outlets rated
for at least 15A.
CONTROL PANEL
Press the ON/OFF to turn the unit on.

Plug-in Electrical cables
Ensure that the cables are firmly plugged in the top compartment and then to the wall
outlets. Make sure that you route the cables correctly through the cutout notch before
placing the storage compartment lid.
Notice: The DriTec power cords must be connected to a separate 120V outlet with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, and a minimal rating of 15 Amperage.

WATER REMOVAL
When the unit is powered, the screen will display PLEASE
WAIT WARMING UP. Upon completion of the warm-up
procedure it will display UNIT ON XXX
HRS and will cycle between INLET XX% (RH) and INLET
XXX°F.
The Display Menu is used for cycling through the displays
of additional User Settings and dehumidifier conditions.
Press once on the ON/OFF key to go back to the main
menu.
Alter system settings. The MENU SELECTION key works
as the UP key when cycling through the selected
setpoints. Press once and release to display the amount
of water eliminated in pints per day. After five minutes of
operation, the unit displays WATER REMOVAL XXX
PINTS/24HRS. After a few seconds, the display
automatically returns to reading "Unit on.
For the best results, use your dehumidifier in an area
that is enclosed. Close all windows and doors opening to
the outside to increase the water removal efficiency.
Note: Connect the unit only to two different circuits of 15A. A bright green illumination on the face of the screen
shows that the connection is correct. The green light will not illuminate if both the power cords are inserted
into the same circuit or when using a single cord.
For maximum efficiency, use both circuits while ensuring that the green light illuminates.
However, the dehumidifier may run on one power cord if the second circuit is not
available. Plug into Circuit 1. When using a single power cable, the dehumidifier
operates at half the rated performance.
Positioning the Dehumidifier
When connecting the dehumidifier to power for the first time, the control panel briefly cycles
through various readouts. This is a regular self-diagnosis procedure for the unit; thus,
no intervention by the user is required.
Ducting Setup
Note, the unit is designed for indoor use only. The equipment should not be exposed to snow or rain.
If any electrical component becomes wet, allow for thorough drying before operating the unit.
Reactivation Outlet Ducting
To attach the ducting on the duct ring, use the provided duct clamp. Ensure that the reactivation air is ducted
to the outside.
NOTICE
During operation, condensate may collect inside the reactivation duct. Water should not run back into the unit;
this could damage the unit. Or lead to a shock hazard.
Note: The temperatures in the React Out ducting may reach 66°C (150°F).
Only use the heat-rated ducting provided.
Process Outlet Ducting
The out air should be ducted, where more drying is required. It should only be used with a lay-flat ducting.
Maximum Ducting length
For maximum performance, ducting should not exceed these lengths:
Reactivation air: 20 feet |. 6m
Inlet air: 30 feet |. 9.1m
Process air: 10feet | 3 m
For additional ducting options, see figure C
