Grasp IEC plug and pull straight out IMPORTANT: Damage to IEC receptacle or dehumidifier resulting from improper re- moval of the power cord is not covered by warranty. The IEC power cord is a wear item and is not covered by warranty.49-109J F533 2 Legend Brands, Inc. are properly grounded. Do not modify the plugs pro-vided with the appliance – if the plugs do not fit the outlets, have proper outlets installed by a qualified electrician. This equipment is for use on circuits with a nominal rat-ing of no more than 120V. Handle the unit carefully Always operate the unit on a stable, level surface. Do not drop, throw, or place where it could fall. Rough treat-ment can damage the unit, and may create a hazardous condition or void the warranty. This unit intended for household and commercial use.

The unit is shipped with two duct rings and an adaptor kit packed inside the storage compartment. A 3 mm Allen wrench is required for installation of these components. Required: Install Reactivation Air Outlet duct ring Install the Reactivation Duct Ring, See Fig. B. Optional: Install Air Inlet duct ring Attach to inlet with the thumbscrews provided. See Fig. Optional: Install Process Air Outlet offset screws The Process Air Outlet Adaptor Kit may be installed us-ing the offset screws provided. See Fig. B.

CONTROLS AND OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS Positioning the Dehumidifier For best results, operate your dehumidifier in an en-closed area. Close all doors and windows that open to the outside to maximize water removal efficiency. Place your dehumidifier away from any obstructions that could block airflow into and out of the unit. Duct reactivation outlet outdoors through window adapter or dryer vent. Plug in electrical cords Always plug the cords firmly into the sockets in the top compartment first, then into the wall outlets. En-sure that the cords are routed properly through the cord cutout notch before closing the storage com-partment lid. NOTICE: The power cords of the DriTec must be plugged into separate GFCI-protected 120V outlets rated for at least 15A. CONTROL PANEL

Press the ON/OFF to turn the unit on. ON/OFF When the machine is turned on, the display normally reads PLEASE WAIT WARMING UP. Once the unit completes the warm-up procedure, the display shows UNIT ON XXX HRS and cycles between INLET XXX°F and INLET XX% (RH). DISPLAY MENU Cycles through the display of additional dehumidifier conditions and User Set-tings. To return to the main menu, press the ON/OFF key once. MENU SELECTION / UP KEY Change system settings. The MENU SELECTION key acts as the “UP” key for cycling through the setpoints. WATER REMOVAL Press and release to show a calculated amount of water removal in pints/day. The unit will display WATER REMOVAL XXX PINTS/24H after 5 minutes of run time. The display will automatically return to the “Unit On” display after a few seconds. Fig. A: Parts Identification Air filter Power sockets inside compartment. Stor-age for power cords, react ducting.

A bright green light on the front of the unit indicates correct connections. No light will show when using only one cord or if both power cords are plugged into the same power circuit. For best performance, use with two circuits and en- sure green light is illuminated. If a second circuit is not available, the unit may be operated on a single power cord. Plug into Circuit 1. Note that the unit will operate at 50% of the rated performance when using a single power cord. 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. Ducting Setup NOTICE! For indoor use only. Do not expose the unit to rain or snow. If electrical components become wet, allow the unit to dry thoroughly before operat- ing.

1. Reactivation Outlet Ducting

Use the duct clamp provided to attach the ducting to the duct ring. The reactivation air should always be ducted to the outside. NOTICE: Temperatures inside React Out ducting can reach 150°F (66°C). Use only heat-rated ducting as provided. Process Outlet Ducting The process out air may be ducted where more focused drying is required. Use with layflat ducting only. Maximum Ducting Length To ensure maximum performance, do not exceed these ducting lengths: Reactivation air 20 ft. | 6 m Process air 10 ft. | 3 m Inlet air 30 ft. | 9.1 m For more ducting options, see Fig. C.

NOTICE Condensation may collect in the reactivation duct during opera- tion. Do not allow water to run back into the unit. This could cause a shock hazard or damage to the unit.

NOTICE: Handle the unit carefully. Rough treatment can damage this equipment and may create a hazardous con- dition or void warranty.

• Do not expose the control panel to moisture, snow or rain.

• Store and transport securely to avoid any damaging impact to internal parts.

• Secure during transport to prevent sliding and possi- ble injury to vehicle occupants. MAINTENANCE WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Unplug unit before cleaning or servicing.

WARNING: Risk of dust and contaminants exposure.

Use of respirator mask and gloves is recommended. If unit has been exposed to potentially dangerous con- taminants, clean thoroughly and disinfect before re- use. As Needed (Exterior items) Inspect filter. Replace if accumulation of dust and debris is visible. NOTICE: Replace used filters only with a new Dri-Eaz filter part no. F590 (24-pack). Other filter types do not provide adequate filtration or airflow. Each filter is in- dividually wrapped to protect filtration effectiveness. Remove the wrapper before installing the filter into the dehumidifier. To maintain appearance, wipe interior and exterior sur- faces with a damp cloth. Inspect reactivation air outlet ducting for cracks, splits or breaks. Replace as needed with suitable heat-resistant ducting. As Needed (Interior items) See Fig. D. NOTICE: Electric shock hazard. Unplug unit before re- moving side panels. NOTICE: The unit is fitted with sensitive electronic sen- sors. Protect the sensors and their lead wires from dam- age and do not expose them to water or cleaning solution. The following tools and supplies are needed to complete the maintenance procedures described in this manual:

• 3 mm Allen wrench and/or bit and cordless drill

• Vacuum cleaner with soft brush tool and/or a high pressure air nozzle Remove side panel. Remove the screws from the react out / air inlet panel. IMPORTANT: The inlet temp/RH sensor cable is attached to the interior of the panel and must be detached before setting the panel aside. To remove the cable, first unclip the plug and then slide the cable down and out of the cable tie. Once the cable is free of the panel, set the panel aside. Fig. D: Interior views Blower Storage compart- ment. React out/air in panel. Remove this panel only for routine inte- rior inspection and cleaning. IMPORTANT!
