1.2 Electrical Requirements/Humidistat InstallationThe DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> plugs into a common grounded outleton a 15 Amp circuit. It draws between 6 and 7 Amps undernormal operating conditions. If used in a wet area, a groundfault interrupter protected circuit is required.If an extension cord is required, it must have a minimum of16 gauge conductors if less than 25 feet long and 14 gaugeif greater than 25 feet long.Install the remote humidistat in a central area of thestructure where it will sense the relative humidity ofthe structure accurately. Do not install the humidistatwhere it may not accurately sense the relative humiditysuch as near HVAC supply registers, near exterior doors,or near a pool or spa. The installer must supply thewiring between the dehumidifier unit and the humidistat.Be sure to safely route the control wires to prevent damageduring installation. Be careful not to cross the wires whenconnecting the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> and the humidistat ordamage to the transformer may result.The humidistat of the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> is powered by a lowvoltage circuit and must NEVER contact or be connectedto a high voltage circuit. The control wires leaving the unitand the humidistat are color coded to prevent confusion.Be sure to consult the electrical schematic in this manualor on the front panel of the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> before makingthe control connections.1.3 Condensate RemovalCAUTION The DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> removes largeamounts of moisture from the air and the devicemust be connected to a drain line that will carryaway the excess water. A trap in the drain line isstrongly recommended.The drain line should be connected to the 3/4” female pipethread adaptor on the front of the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong>.Care should be taken to install the drain line with acontinuous slop of 1" per 10' to assure proper waterremoval.An optional condensate pump may be installed if a lift isrequired to dispose of the condensate. The condensatepump kit can be ordered direct from the factory.CAUTION For additional safety, Munters alwaysrecommends that a catch pan with front switch beplaced under the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong>.An optional condensate pump may be installed if a lift isrequired to dispose of the condensate. The condensatepump kit can be ordered direct from the factory.1.4 Installation in a Structure with NoExisting Forced Air HVACWhen installing the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> in a structure thatdoes not have a forced air HVAC system, a singlereturn for the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> should be installed incentral open area of the structure. DO NOT locate thereturn in a bathroom or a kitchen. The supply of the unitshould be located in the remote areas of the structure(such as bedrooms, den, etc...). By ducting this way theair inside the structure will circulate through the DRYCOOL<strong>HD</strong> to be filtered and dehumidified. 4” diameter duct isrecommended for branches to the bedrooms, 6” diameterduct is recommended for branches to larger areas. Connectan 8” reactivation duct to the reactivation outlet to expelmoist air outside the space.1.5 Optional UV LightSafety Notices: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,service, maintenance, or use can cause fire, electricalshock, or other conditions which may cause personalinjury or property damage. Consult your local authorizeddealer or Munters Corporation for additional informationor assistance.WARNING Before performing maintenanceor service on fixture, ensure unit is unplugged.Electrical shock can cause injury or death.• Never expose eyes or skin to UVC light from anysource. Wear gloves, face shield/glasses (perANSI Z87.1) and cover all exposed skin.• Do not touch Emitter glass without gloves.Damage to Emitter may result. Oil fromfingerprints will permanently etch glass ofEmitter. If necessary, clean Emitter usingoptional cleaning kit.• Voltages outside of the range designed for theunit will void the warranty and do permanentdamage to the entire unit.• Emitter contains a small quantity of mercury. Ifan Emitter breaks, clean and dispose with care.Note: Ensure that emitter is installed before power isapplied. Installing emitter after the power has been appliedwill trigger the “end of lamp life circuit” and emitter will failto light! If this happens, shut off power for 10 minutes andthen turn power back on. Emitter will then light.4
1.2.3.4.Disconnect power from the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> unitRemove installation hole plug. This black plastic plugis located on the same end of the unit as the controlpanel and is above the condensate drain outlet.Insert support wire.Insert emitter into hole, ensuring that emitter ceramicend rests on support wire’s hook and that emitter collaris set firmly against hole perimeter.5.6.7.Cut spine in order to accommodate the support wire.Reinstall the spine pieces.Attach emitter extension cord to power supply, andplug power supply into the outlet on the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong>labeled “UV Light”.Power can now be reconnected to the MuntersDRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> unit.2 Intended ApplicationThe DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> Dehumidifier is intended for installationin spaces that experience short or long term highhumidity conditions. Use of the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> in poolareas will void warranty. In order to efficiently controlhumidity levels, the area in which the dehumidifier is tobe placed must be free of water intrusion or excessivefresh air infiltration. Before installation of the DRYCOOL<strong>HD</strong>, water intrusion or excess air infiltration shouldbe addressed.8”REACT INLETDO NOT place the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> directly on structuralmembers.A secondary drain pan MUST be placed under the unit.The DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> should be located near the existing airhandling system to minimize the required ductwork. Thecontrols for the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> are remote from the unit andmust be located in the space that is to be conditioned. Thecontrols are low voltage (24 volt) and should be connectedto the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong> with low voltage thermostat wire.8”SUPPLY OUTCOND. COILSQUARE TOROUND(OPTIONAL)If fresh air ventilation is desired, thought should be given tothe location for the fresh air ducting. An 8” round insulatedduct will have to be installed on the DRYCOOL <strong>HD</strong>and run to the outside of the structure to bring in fresh air.The unit is not meant to condition more than 75cfm of outside air. Consult local codes for necessarydistances from exhaust ports when installing fresh airreturn.SQUARE TOROUND(OPTIONAL)OPTIONALO.A.
