INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
P/N 780107800 09/21 RevA
• The area where the dehumidier is located should be sealed with a vapor barrier.
• If the unit is installed in a crawl space, all vents should be sealed.
• For proper ventilation, neither the inlet or discharge should be positioned against a wall. The inlet
needs a minimum of 12” clearance and the discharge requires a minimum of 36” clearance.
• For the best air diusion, install the unit so that a side panel faces the wall.
• Field Controls dehumidiers are only intended for operation when the unit is upright and level with
the feet on the ground (unless using a Field Controls Hanging Kit).
HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS
Field Controls dehumidiers use an integrated humidistat to monitor the conditioned space.When the
relative humidity goes above the selected setpoint, the dehumidier will energize. Air is then drawn
across an evaporator coil, which is cooler than the dew point of air. This means moisture will condense
out of the air. The air is then reheated through the condenser coil and distributed back into the room.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
1. Place dehumidier on a level surface.
• Do not place unit directly on vapor barrier. For example, use blocks or pavers to create a level
surface.
• If unit has been turned or ipped so that the compressor did not remain upright, place the
unit on a level surface and wait a minimum of 2 hours before proceeding.
2. Set up the drain line
• The drain line should be routed to a suitable drain on the outside.
• THE DRAIN MUST FLOW DOWN WITH NO LOOPS OR DIPS.
• Recommended Drain Option- Transition to PVC Pipe
1. Cut a piece of 3/4”OD PVC that is approx. 6” long.
2. Insert cut PVC into a 3/4” elbow.
3. Attach PVC+elbow to a 3/4”OD length of PVC to drain.
Keep the length of PVC as short as possible.
4. Insert the open end of dehumidier drain tube into 6”
piece of PVC so that it does not extend into elbow tting.
5. For a proper ow, a minimum downward slop of 1” per
10’ run is required.
6. Support the PVC tubing so that it maintains a smooth downward ow to drain.
3. Plug unit into a dedicated 15 amp GFCI protected outlet.

KEY FUNCTIONS
KEY FUNCTIONS
1. Power Key
• Use this button to turn the dehumidier on and o.
• Press once to turn machine on. You will hear two beeps and the light will illuminate
green (solid or ashing depending on mode).
• Press the power button a second time and you will hear one beep as the machine shuts
down. Note that there is a 1 minute fan delay.
2. Arrow Buttons
• Use the up and down arrows to set the desired humidity setpoint on the display screen.
• The setpoint can be any number between 36%-90%. When the indoor humidity is higher
than the setpoint, the unit will operate.
* Keep in mind that the displayed humidity levels are approximate (+/-5%)
3. Continuous Mode
• To set the unit to run continuously regardless of humidity,
simply use the down arrow key to set the humidity below 36%.
• The continuous light will illuminate green and the display will show “CO”.
• To switch back to normal humidistat operation, use the arrow keys to move the setpoint
above 36%.
4. Auxilary Terminals A5/A6
• The A5/A6 on the terminal strip can be used as a safety switch for an external oat switch or
condensate pump.
• It should be set to N/O (normally open) at the accessory oat switch.
• If an E4 error occurs immediately, switch the wiring to N/C (normally closed) on the external
device. Note that you may need to unplug the unit to reset the error code.

INDICATOR LIGHTS
INDICATOR LIGHTS
1. Humidity Display Screen
• The display screen has two functions:
1. When the unit is powered on, it shows the humidity of the space
2. When setting the desired humidity level, the screen will show the set point. After a brief
delay, it will revert to current humidity of the space.
2. Power Indicator Light
• This light indicates that the unit is properly powered on and ready to operate.
• Always make sure the unit is “off” prior to performing any service, unless otherwise
indicated.
• If the humidity is above the setpoint, the light will be solid green and the machine will
operate.
• If the humidity is below the setpoint, the unit will be in standby mode and the light will be
ashing.
3. Continuous Mode/Auto Defrost Light
• When the light illuminates green, it indicates that the dehumidifier is set to continuous
operation mode.
• When the light illuminates red, it means the unit is in auto defrost mode and clearing the
evaporator coils of any ice buildup.
4. Compressor Light
• When the light illuminates red, it indicates the compressor has been initiated but is
currently warming up.
• Once the light switches to green, it means the compressor is currently in working status.

REMOTE CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS
Field Controls Dehumidiers can be controlled using an optional remote accessory. The remote
connects to your dehumidier via a 25’CAT 5 cable, with the integrated sensor giving you mul-
tiple options for monitoring surrounding conditions.
Example #1- Install the dehumidier in the laundry room and
duct it into the living room. Mount the remote in the living room and use the remote sensor.
Example #2- Install the dehumidier in your crawl space with
the remote mounted in your garage.
NOTE: The symbols indicated
below only show when the
remote is powered on.
1. On/O (Power) Button
Press the on/o button and the
machine will start running. Press
the button again to turn the
machine o.
2. Up Button/ Down Button
Use the up and down arrows to
adjust the humidity level.
3. Mode
Use the mode button to switch
between dehumidier and a ducted
application.
• The symbol on the display indicates the sensor on the remote control is being utilized.
• The symbol on the display indicates the sensor on the dehumidier is being utilized.
4. Temperature
The T button changes the temperature reading on your remote. The remote comes from the
factory in Celsius. Press this button once to switch to Fahrenheit.
5. Continuous
Press this button to switch the unit into continuous mode. “CONT.” will appear on the display
