• Always connect your dehumidier using a grounded, dedicated electrical connection that is GFCI protected

with at least 15 amp capacity.

• The use of any other type of wiring will void your warranty.

• Install dehumidier according to all applicable local, state, and national codes

• Be sure to follow your GFCI manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. You will typically need to test the

operation of the trip circuit monthly.

• For ease of testing and operation, it may be helpful to put the test switch and indicator lights in a convenient

location.

• Your dehumidier should only be repaired by a qualied technician.

• Do not insert objects or your ngers into the inlet or discharge.

• Do not use water to clean the exterior of the dehumidier. To clean unit, unplug from power, then use a damp

cloth to wipe the exterior.

• Do not stand on dehumidier or place objects on it.

• Do not use with extension cord or plug adapter.

• Unless otherwise noted, all maintenance should be done with the unit powered o.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

P/N 780107800 09/21 RevA

• The area where the dehumidier is located should be sealed with a vapor barrier.

• If the unit is installed in a crawl space, all vents should be sealed.

• 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.

• For the best air diusion, install the unit so that a side panel faces the wall.

• Field Controls dehumidiers are only intended for operation when the unit is upright and level with

the feet on the ground (unless using a Field Controls Hanging Kit).

HOW IT WORKS

Field Controls dehumidiers use an integrated humidistat to monitor the conditioned space.When the

relative humidity goes above the selected setpoint, the dehumidier 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

1. Place dehumidier on a level surface.

• Do not place unit directly on vapor barrier. For example, use blocks or pavers to create a level

surface.

• If unit has been turned or ipped so that the compressor did not remain upright, place the

unit on a level surface and wait a minimum of 2 hours before proceeding.

2. Set up the drain line

• The drain line should be routed to a suitable drain on the outside.

• THE DRAIN MUST FLOW DOWN WITH NO LOOPS OR DIPS.

• Recommended Drain Option- Transition to PVC Pipe

1. Cut a piece of 3/4”OD PVC that is approx. 6” long.

2. Insert cut PVC into a 3/4” elbow.

3. Attach PVC+elbow to a 3/4”OD length of PVC to drain.

Keep the length of PVC as short as possible.

4. Insert the open end of dehumidier drain tube into 6”

piece of PVC so that it does not extend into elbow tting.

5. For a proper ow, a minimum downward slop of 1” per

10’ run is required.

6. Support the PVC tubing so that it maintains a smooth downward ow to drain.

3. Plug unit into a dedicated 15 amp GFCI protected outlet.

KEY FUNCTIONS

1. Power Key

• Use this button to turn the dehumidier on and o.

• Press once to turn machine on. You will hear two beeps and the light will illuminate

green (solid or ashing depending on mode).

• Press the power button a second time and you will hear one beep as the machine shuts

down. Note that there is a 1 minute fan delay.

2. Arrow Buttons

• Use the up and down arrows to set the desired humidity setpoint on the display screen.

• The setpoint can be any number between 36%-90%. When the indoor humidity is higher

than the setpoint, the unit will operate.

* Keep in mind that the displayed humidity levels are approximate (+/-5%)

3. Continuous Mode

• To set the unit to run continuously regardless of humidity,

simply use the down arrow key to set the humidity below 36%.

• The continuous light will illuminate green and the display will show “CO”.

• To switch back to normal humidistat operation, use the arrow keys to move the setpoint

above 36%.

4. Auxilary Terminals A5/A6

• The A5/A6 on the terminal strip can be used as a safety switch for an external oat switch or

condensate pump.

• It should be set to N/O (normally open) at the accessory oat switch.

• If an E4 error occurs immediately, switch the wiring to N/C (normally closed) on the external

device. Note that you may need to unplug the unit to reset the error code.

INDICATOR LIGHTS

1. Humidity Display Screen

• The display screen has two functions:

1. When the unit is powered on, it shows the humidity of the space

2. When setting the desired humidity level, the screen will show the set point. After a brief

delay, it will revert to current humidity of the space.

2. Power Indicator Light

• This light indicates that the unit is properly powered on and ready to operate.

• Always make sure the unit is “off” prior to performing any service, unless otherwise

indicated.

• If the humidity is above the setpoint, the light will be solid green and the machine will

operate.

• If the humidity is below the setpoint, the unit will be in standby mode and the light will be

ashing.

3. Continuous Mode/Auto Defrost Light

• When the light illuminates green, it indicates that the dehumidifier is set to continuous

operation mode.

• When the light illuminates red, it means the unit is in auto defrost mode and clearing the

evaporator coils of any ice buildup.

4. Compressor Light

• When the light illuminates red, it indicates the compressor has been initiated but is

currently warming up.

• Once the light switches to green, it means the compressor is currently in working status.

REMOTE CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS

Field Controls Dehumidiers can be controlled using an optional remote accessory. The remote

connects to your dehumidier via a 25’CAT 5 cable, with the integrated sensor giving you mul-

tiple options for monitoring surrounding conditions.

Example #1- Install the dehumidier in the laundry room and

duct it into the living room. Mount the remote in the living room and use the remote sensor.

Example #2- Install the dehumidier in your crawl space with

the remote mounted in your garage.

NOTE: The symbols indicated

below only show when the

remote is powered on.

1. On/O (Power) Button

Press the on/o button and the

machine will start running. Press

the button again to turn the

machine o.

2. Up Button/ Down Button

Use the up and down arrows to

adjust the humidity level.

3. Mode

Use the mode button to switch

between dehumidier and a ducted

application.

• The symbol on the display indicates the sensor on the remote control is being utilized.

• The symbol on the display indicates the sensor on the dehumidier is being utilized.

4. Temperature

The T button changes the temperature reading on your remote. The remote comes from the

factory in Celsius. Press this button once to switch to Fahrenheit.

5. Continuous

Press this button to switch the unit into continuous mode. “CONT.” will appear on the display

screen.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Start the machine

• Press the power key to turn the dehumidier on.

2. Adjust the settings

• Use the up and down arrow keys to adjust your desired setpoint (typically 50-55%)

3. Stop the machine

•Press the power button again and the dehumidier will stop. Note that the fan will continue

to operate for 1 minute after the unit has shut o. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD TO

FORCE THE UNIT TO STOP.

4. Water Drainage

• During normal operation, the dehumidier will automatically drain due to gravity.

• If you want to move or store the machine, wait at least 10 minutes to allow the unit to

completely defrost.

•Once defrosted, lean the dehumidier gently towards the drain to ensure it is completely dry.

a. Replace as necessary- we recommend checking the lter at least 1x/year

Electrical Access

• Unscrew the 13 screws on the side panel.

• Remove the screw on the control board cover.

Page 9 of 12 P/N 780107800 09/21 RevA

• Mix a 16 ounce solution of bleach (1 oz bleach + 15 oz water) OR vinegar (4 oz white vinegar

+ 12 oz water).

• Remove lter(s) so you have access to the drain tray.

• Disconnect power to dehumidier.

• Pour the cleaning solution into the drain tray at the base of the coils. If any cleaning solution

gets on the coils, ush with water.

• Allow solution to soak for 15 minutes.

• Pour in 16-32 ounces of clean water to ush out the drain line.

Cleaning the Gravity Drain

Complete about once per year, depending on environment
