4. Installation
4.1 Remove Compressor Shipping Support
The Santa Fe Advance2 uses a
compressor to power the refrigeration
system. To protect the compressor
and refrigeration system during
shipping a plastic tie wrap secures
it to the units frame. Remove the
tie wrap by cutting the tie wrap and pulling from the unit as
shown. After removing tie wrap, insert plastic plugs provided
into the holes.
4.2 Location
The Santa Fe Advance2 can be installed in a variety of locations
to meet the owner’s needs; other considerations include:
1. Providing access to a 115 VAC power outlet (10'
power cord is provided).
2. Locating near a oor or other suitable drain.
3. Mount 4" above drain.
4. Do not install the Santa Fe Advance2 with
the exhaust of the unit within 1' of a wall or
obstruction. Do not place the unit near open water.
4.2A No Ducting (Figure 1)
The simplest installation is to place the Santa Fe Advance2
with no ducting. To ensure optimal performance, the air inlet
and the outlet of the unit must be at least 1' from walls and
other obstructions to air ow.
4.2B Duct Outlet (Figure 2)
Dehumidification performance can be modified by adding an
outlet duct to circulate air.
4.2C Remote Area, w/Outlets Ducted (Figure 3)
A simplied remote installation method than above uses
ducting between the Santa Fe Advance2 discharge and the
humid room; the Santa Fe Advance2 inlet draws air from
the room in which it’s located. This works well if there is an
adequate air ow path between the two rooms; e.g. high door
undercut, louvered door or wall grill. This eliminates the need
to remote mount the humidity control.

WARNING!
4.2 Electrical Requirements
The Santa Fe Advance2 plugs into a common grounded outlet
on a 110-120 VAC 15-Amp circuit. While operating, it draws
less than 6 amps @ 80°F, 60% RH and less than 5.5 amps @
75°F, 50% RH. Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected circuit is recommended. The unit should not be used
in areas prone to ooding.
4.3 Installing Feet
Included with your Santa Fe
Advance2 are four leveling feet.
It is important to level the unit
for proper draining.
Installing Leveling Feet
See Figure 2 for installing leveling feet.
1. Lay down a protective pad (pillow, blanket, etc.).
2. Carefully turn unit onto side opposite drain port.
3. Align leveling foot shaft with one of the four threaded
hole locations as shown in Figure 2.
4. Screw each leveling foot in ten revolutions.
5. Carefully bring unit to upright position.
6. Level unit for proper water drainage.
7. Wait 10 minutes before operating.
CAUTION!
Note: Operating the unit immediately after bringing it to an
upright position can possibly damage the compressor. A short
amount of time is needed (10 minutes) to allow the oil to
return to it’s reservoir for lubrication.
CAUTION! For proper drainage, the
unit must be mounted so the drain outlet is at
least 4" above the floor drain, and must be fully
supported under the base.
4.4 Condensate Water Removal
The Santa Fe Advance2 drains via a gravity system - it is not
able to push condensate (water) uphill. The drain hose must
run downhill toward the drain location. Condensate can be
drained by using the 5/8" clear hose and adapter provided,
or by using a male 3/4" NPT PVC pipe. Using either option,
care must be taken installing adaptor to the drain port. Use
standard condensate drain routing practices outlined when
routing the drain line.
Be sure the hose is not kinked or otherwise restricted so that
water can pass through it. Improper hose installation may
result in water leakage.
To increase the efciency of the unit, position the hose to
create a “trap” as shown in Figure 3. By creating a trap, it will
hold a small amount of water. Position the trap on the hose
approximately 12" to 20" away from the unit. Check hose
regularly to ensure it is clear and water is draining properly.
If oor drain is not
easily accessible, a
condensate pump
kit with a 20' hose is
available. Contact your
dealer or order online if
you are interested in ordering the pump.
CAUTION! Remove compressor shipping
tie from the unit. Failure to remove shipping tie
will cause excess vibration to be transmitted to
the frame.
5. Ducting
5.1 Duct Kit (P/N 4033039)
A factory designed outlet duct kit can be purchased to
accept 10" ducting to both outlets of the Santa Fe Advance2.
Contact your dealer or order online.
6. Operation
6.1 Humidity Control Adjustment
The humidity control is an adjustable switch that closes when
the relative humidity of the air in which it is located rises to
the dial set point. It opens when the RH drops 4 to 6% below
the set point.
Approximate Humidity Levels Per Setting:
“Drier” 20% to 30% Relative Humidity
“Normal” 45% to 55% Relative Humidity
(Recommended)
“Humid” 80% to 90% Relative Humidity

Auto
On
The dehumidier will run until the relative humidity (RH) is
reduced to the humidity control dial setting.
Quality humidity meters are available from the factory and
are recommended to accurately monitor humidity levels.
Refer to the options and accessories table in this document.
6.2 Fan Switch
Turning the impeller switch to “FAN ON” will cause the unit’s
internal impeller to run continuously, whether the unit is
dehumidifying or not. This function is desirable if the unit is
used for air circulation.
Turning the fan switch to “FAN AUTO” will cause the unit’s
internal blower to run only while the unit is dehumidifying.
7. Maintenance
CAUTION! NOTE: Do not operate the unit
without the filter or with a less effective filter. The
heat exchange coils inside the unit could become
clogged and require disassembly to clean.
7.1 Air Filter
The Santa Fe Advance2 ships with a standard MERV 8
pleated fabric filter. This should be checked every six
months. The pleated fabric lter can generally be vacuumed
clean several times before needing replacement. Operating
the unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity
and efficiency and may cause the compressor to cycle on
and off unnecessarily. Replacement filters can be ordered
from your dealer or by calling 1-800-533-7533.
8. Service
WARNING! Servicing the Santa Fe
Advance2 with its high pressure refrigerant
system and high voltage circuitry presents a
health hazard which could result in death, serious
bodily injury, and/or property damage. Only
qualified service people should service this unit.
8.1 Technical Description
The Santa Fe Advance2 uses a refrigeration system similar
to an air conditioner’s to remove heat and moisture from
incoming air, and add heat to the air that is discharged. Hot,
high pressure refrigerant gas is routed from the compressor
to the condenser coil. The refrigerant is cooled and
condensed by giving up its heat to the air that is about to be
discharged from the unit. The refrigerant liquid then passes
through a filter/drier and capillary tubing which cause the
refrigerant pressure and temperature to drop. It next enters
the evaporator coil where it absorbs heat from the incoming
air and evaporates.
Santa Fe Advance2 refrigeration system
The evaporator operates in a ooded condition, which
means that all the evaporator tubes contain liquid
refrigerant during normal operation. A ooded evaporator
should maintain constant pressure and temperature across
the entire coil, from inlet to outlet. The mixture of gas and
liquid refrigerant enter the accumulator after leaving the
evaporator coil. The accumulator prevents any liquid
refrigerant from reaching the compressor. The compressor
evacuates the cool refrigerant gas from the accumulator
and compresses it to a high pressure and temperature gas
to repeat the process.
