Howitworks
Unipdry dehumidifiers use an integrated humidistat to monitor the conditioned
space. When the relative humidity goes above the selected setpoint, the
dehumidifier 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 Requirements
If the unit is installed in a crawl space, all vents should be sealed.
The area where the dehumidifier is located should be sealed with a vapor
barrier.
For the best air diffusion, install the unit so that a side panel faces the wall.
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.
Unipdry dehumidifiers are only intended for operation when the unit
is upright and level with the feet on the ground (unless using a Unipdry
Hanging Kit).
Location
The good thing with this device is that its location is versatile. It can be installed in a
variety of areas to ensure that the installer meets the client’s needs. But still, the
following aspects should be considered:
The location chosen should provide steady access to 10” power cord and a 115 VAC
power outlet.
It should be located near a suitable drain or floor. An 8’ drain hose is provided to help
boost drainage.
The device should be mounted 4” above the drain.
The unit should never be located very close to open water.
Also, ensure that you avoid any possible obstruction to the air inlet and exhaust. Give it at
least one foot for aeration.

The simplest form of installation is to place the unit in a space where ducting is not too necessary.
Recirculation will promote the speed at which the gadget works. Recirculation of air into the inlet
could damage the unit system.
Duct Supply and Return
In order to promote the rate at which dehumidification occurs, you can add the supply and/or
return duct to help circulate air. You can make use of the return duct to draw moist and warm air
from the near ceiling in order to obtain optimal drying. In a simpler remote installation procedure,
you can make use of the humid room and the Uni-P discharge room. The Uni-P dehumidifier inlet
usually draws air from the room where it is installed. For that reason, this installation procedure
works well if the unit is installed in a room that has got adequate air flow. Such rooms may
include rooms with the wall grill, louvered doors, and/or high door undercut. Such conditions
promote airflow and hence, eliminates the requirement to remote mount the humidity controller.
Warning: it is important that you first seek guidance from a qualified device operator before you
opt to use the device as described above. The experts will provide you with instructions on how
to complete the procedure. If backdraft devices are such as the hot water heater are present in
the place that needs to be dehumidified, it is important that the manufacturer or certified service
provider completes the installation.
It may be necessary to slightly pressurize and/or dehumidify the room if the dehumidifier is to be
located in a smaller room that is separate from the main area that requires dehumidification. The
purpose of pressurization is to make sure that any open combustion devices present in the room
do not backdraft. Backdraft can be prevented by simply allowing the Uni-P dehumidifier to
release dehumidified air into the room where it is located. It can also be prevented by installing a
circulation pipe from the humid room into the dehumidifier inlet. All in all, there should be
adequate air circulation between the two rooms for this procedure to work well.
