INTRODUCTION
The PHD 200 Dehumidifier reduces humidity in enclosed
structural environments by removing water vapor from
the air. With proper use, the PHD 200 can help to dry out
damp structural materials, insulation, and contents, and
maintain a healthy level of humidity. Using the PHD 200
may also prevent secondary damage caused by high hu-
midity.
WARNING
CORRECT PLUG REMOVAL
Grasp IEC plug and pull straight out
IMPORTANT: Damage to IEC receptacle or dehu-
midifier resulting from improper removal of the
power cord is not covered by warranty. The IEC
power cord is a wear item and is not covered by
warranty.

How the PHD 200 works
The PHD 200 refrigerant dehumidifier uses a fan to draw
moist air in and condenses it into water that collects in a
tray and is automatically pumped out through a drain
hose.
The PHD 200 is preset to automatically maintain a 50%
RH level. To change this setting, see “Humidistat Mode”
below. Note: Unit automatically shuts off below 40% RH.
CONTROLS AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Set unit upright
NOTICE: Always store, transport, and use the unit in
a horizontal position. If the unit is ever placed in a
vertical position, return it to the horizontal position
and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before turning
it on.
Positioning a Dehumidifier
For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an en-
closed area. Place your dehumidifier away from obstruc-
tions, and keep it away from anything that could block
airflow into and out of the unit. For more information
about creating an optimum drying environment, contact
Legend Brands at 800-932-3030.
TIP: Before installing in a crawlspace or other difficult to
access location, plug in the unit and run it for approxi-
mately half an hour to ensure proper operation.
Set up drain hose
The PHD 200 condensate pump connects to a plastic
drain hose equipped with a quick-connect fitting for quick
attachment to the unit. To set up the hose, unwrap the
entire hose and place the unattached end in a sink,
drain, bucket or outdoors –anywhere that water can
drain out safely. Connect the other end of the hose to
the PHD 200. If you use a bucket or other container for
water collection, check it regularly to prevent overflows.
NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do
not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place
the end of the hose higher than 3 ft. (1 m) above the bot-
tom of the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstructions
that might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions may
cause a water backup and result in overflows.
Plug in electrical cord
The PHD 200 should be plugged into a GFCI-protected
115 volt outlet rated for at least 15amps. Always plug
the cord firmly into the unit first, and then plug the other
end into a suitable outlet.
Startup display and normal display modes
When unit is first plugged in to AC power, the control
panel display will briefly cycle through a series of
readouts. This is part of the unit’s self-diagnosis proce-
dure and no user intervention is required.
Turn the unit on
The control panel on the PHD 200 dehumidifier has a
display and a touchpad with four keys. Press the
ON/OFF to turn the unit on. The unit will now go
through a compressor delay countdown (up to sixty sec-
onds in duration) and a self-diagnostics process.
Once the compressor delay countdown and self-diag-
nostics are complete, the display will switch to normal
display mode.
HUMIDISTAT
INLET 00°F / INLET 00%
The first line of the display shows the total number of
hours the unit has been in operation. This value may be
reset to zero to track job hours (see “Job Hours Reset”
below). The second line of the display alternates be-
tween inlet temperature and inlet humidity.

BEFORE MOVING THE UNIT
To reduce the possibility of drips when moving the
unit, follow these additional steps to ensure that all
water is removed from the unit.
NOTICE: To ensure all water is removed from the dehu-
midifier, the unit will complete the defrost cycle even if
the unit is turned off. If the unit is unplugged during the
defrost cycle, excessive water may accumulate in the
unit and may drip out when you move the unit.
NOTICE: To ensure the condensate tank empties com-
pletely while purging, make sure the unit is placed up-
right on a horizontal surface.
1. If the unit is in a defrost cycle, wait until the unit
has returned to normal operating mode before pro-
ceeding. To check, review the control panel. The
control panel will show one of the following:
Defrost in progress:
UNIT ON 00 HRS
DEFROST XX
Display mode when unit is in defrost mode. XX indicates
the seconds remaining on the defrost cycle.
Shutdown sequence
WAIT FOR
DEFROST XX
Display mode when unit in defrost and unit is powered
down (shut off by user). Unit will complete the defrost cy-
cle to remove any built-up ice then purge the pump. XX
indicates the seconds remaining on the defrost cycle.
Drying sequence
WAIT FOR
UNIT DRYING XX
Display mode when unit not in defrost and unit is pow-
ered down (shut off by user). Unit will complete the 5 mi-
nute drying cycle then purge the pump. XX indicates the
seconds remaining on the drying cycle.
Normal display:
UNIT ON 00 HRS
INLET XX° C
Wait until the control shows the normal display before
proceeding.
2. Gently rock the machine to ensure any water re-
maining on interior surfaces falls into the sump area.
3. Press the PURGE key. When the purge cycle is
complete, turn the unit off.
4. Remove the external drain hose, drain it carefully,
coil it and secure it with one of the straps provided
on the side of the unit.
5. Remove the power cord, coil it neatly, and secure
it with one of the straps provided.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
