VI. maintenance Air Filter Under normal circumstances, the filter in the dehumidifier should be cleaned or replaced once a year. A clean filter is necessary to prevent damage to the dehumidifier and allow it to function at full capacity. To remove the filter, first unplug or disconnect power to the dehumidifier, then remove the air filter via the access panel on the side of the dehumidifier. To clean, flush with warm water and detergent solution. After a clean or new filter is reinstalled, replace the access panel and reconnect power to the dehumidifier. The replacement filter for the dehumidifier is Model 4510 and is available from most HVAC contractors in your area or Aprilaire.com Drain The drain trap or outlet should be checked and cleaned of debris annually. NOTE: The drain trap needs to be primed with water prior to start-up and after extended periods of unit shut down (winter months).

A 15 Amp circuit is required for proper operation of the dehumidifier. Do not use an extension cord. 3. For protection of the compressor, unit must be transported and installed in an upright position. If the unit was shipped or stored on its side, a 24 hour settling period is required before running the unit. I. Principle of Operation The purpose of the Aprilaire® Dehumidifier is to keep humidity in a space at acceptable limits to reduce the unwanted effects of high humidity. The dehumidifier measures the condition of the air in the space to decide when to run. II. specifications Dimensions: 20 3/4" W x 24" L x 20 3/8"– 23 5/8" H Weight: 93 lbs. Capacity: 90 pints per day @ 60%RH, 80˚F (ANSI/AHAM DH-1-2003 standard conditions) Power: 115 VAC, 8 Amps, Unit is equipped with an 8 ft. grounded cord. Design Airflow: 275 CFM @ 0.6 in. w.c. Filter: MERV 8 Filter Cabinet Insulation: 1" foil faced EPS insulation Inlet Air Operating Conditions: 40˚F to 105˚F Ambient Air Operation Conditions: 40˚F to 150˚F IV. operating instructions Use the main control knob (Figure 2) on the outside of the unit to set the dehumidifier dryness setting. Start with a "Normal" setting for most installations. Moving the knob clockwise to "more" will make conditions drier. Moving the knob toward "less" allows for higher moisture levels. Based on the indoor temperature, use the following table to determine the control knob setting to reach the desired RH value. The dehumidifier will work to achieve these values. FIGURE 2 90-1327 III. installation instructions 1. Install the drain line NOTE: The provided condensate trap must be installed to the dehumidifier. • Verify the bottom of the dehumidifier is 2 1/2" or higher above the floor. • Insert the high side of the trap into the drain outlet (water flow direction is shown on the trap and should point away from the dehumidifier) • If there is not enough room to install the trap directly into the dehumidifier, use the provided 90° elbow to position the trap close to the dehumidifier %RH (± 5%) based on Control Knob Setting and Indoor Temperature Control Knob Setting Indoor Temperature 65°F 70°F 75°F 80°F 1 – "LESS" 84% 71% 60% 2 86% 73% 61% 52% 3 – "NORMAL" 74% 63% 53% 45% 4 – "NORMAL" 64% 54% 45% 39% 5 – "NORMAL" 55% 46% 39% 33% 6 47% 39% 33% 28% 7 – "MORE" 40% 34% 28% 24% Example: At an indoor temperature of 75°F with a dehumidifier control knob setting of 3, the dehumidifier will work to achieve an RH value of 53%. NOTES: 1. %RH values are ±5% and are to be used as a GUIDE ONLY for initial set-up. 2. Indoor Temperature is measured at the inlet to the dehumidifier. IMPORTANT: The bottom of the trap outlet must be at least 1/2 inch below the bottom of the dehumidifier to ensure a proper drainage slope (see Figure 1). • After verifying that the trap is in the proper orientation, use PVC primer and cement to secure the trap in place. Cement the supplied threaded coupler to the outlet of the trap. • Screw the supplied hose barb fitting into the coupler and attach the supplied 1/2 inch I.D. drain hose. Route the hose to the nearest drain. IMPORTANT: To prevent a pressure lock within the drain line, the tube must be installed with a constant downward slope. Prime the drain system by filling the drip pan in the dehumidifier with water until flow is completed to the drain. 2. Plug the dehumidifier directly into an outlet – do not use an extension cord. NOTE: A 15 amp circuit is required for proper operation. 3. Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON. V. Troubleshooting guide SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE / POSSIBLE REASON Dehumidifier is producing hot air • Reheat of outgoing air willcause a temperature increases acrossthe dehumidifier • Unit will possibly run continuously initially. After unit has"dried" home, dehumidifier will cycle, reducing load Dehumidifier not adequately dehumidifying • Unit will need time to "dry" materials in home before effectively changing RH. • Compressor is not turning on • System undercharged Dehumidifier is not draining properly • Check condensate trap to be sure it is clear • Check drain line for continuous slope Dehumidifier does not run • Follow all of the system checkout procedures. Make sure power switch is on! • Check that circuit breaker is not tripped. The dehumidifier requires a minimum of 8 amps. The dehumidifier should be placed on its own dedicated 15 amp circuit LED CODES Green LED Activity Status ON Solid Compressor ON Blinking 1 second on, 1 second off Sampling Blinking 1/2 second ON, 1/2 second OFF Defrosting 4. System Checkout: • Rotate the control knob clockwise to the "Test" position.
