THIS SYMBOL MEANS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO HEED THEM CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR MATERIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE. Registrations The Ultra-Aire 120V conforms to unified standard UL 60335-2-40 and CSA standard C22.2.60335-2-40. WARNING! 120 VOLTS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
• Locate the dehumidifier in an area where field wiring the control (low voltage) to the unit will be possible. • It is recommended that a backdraft damper be used in the discharge duct of the Ultra-Aire 120V, especially when connecting to the supply ducting system. The backdraft damper prevents supply air from counter flowing through the Ultra-Aire 120V when it is not operating.
Consult local electrical codes for further information. Ultra-Aire offers a variety of control devices for use with the Ultra-Aire 120V. The control is to be located remotely from the dehumidifier and placed in the space to be conditioned. A low voltage (24 Volt) control MUST be used with the Ultra-Aire 120V and MUST be connected with low voltage (18-22 gauge) thermostat wire.
Pitch of drain should be 1" per 10'. An optional condensate pump kit is available for use with the Ultra-Aire 120V and may be installed if lift is required to dispose of condensate. Condensate is automatically pumped to a remote location when the water level in the pump’s reservoir rises to close the float switch.
• All flexible ducting connected to the Ultra-Aire 120V should be UL listed. • A short piece of flexible ducting on all Ultra-Aire 120V duct connections is recommended to reduce noise and vibration transmitted to rigid ductwork in the structure.
Ultra-Aire 120V must be ducted or an inline fan may be required on the fresh air ventilation line to bring in outside air. Duct Cover Plate • Duct the supply of the Ultra-Aire 120V to the supply of the existing HVAC system with a backdraft damper. Ultra-Aire Supply •...

Dedicated Ultra-Aire Return to Multiple HVAC Systems The dual 8" supply outlets of the Ultra-Aire 120V can both be used to supply airflow to multiple HVAC systems, each with a backdraft damper, without requiring a tee duct to split.
DUCTING TO HVAC SYSTEMS No Existing Ductwork Installation When installing the Ultra-Aire 120V in a structure that does not have a forced air HVAC system, a single return for the Ultra-Aire 120V should be installed in a central location. Install an insulated duct from outside to the 6" collar of the Ultra-Aire 120V to provide fresh air ventilation (optional).
• An insulated 6" diameter duct provides up to 100 CFM of outside air. • If the fresh air ventilation duct is to be used, the return of the Ultra-Aire 120V must be ducted or an inline fan may be required on the fresh air ventilation line to bring in outside air.
CONTROLS A control must be used with the Ultra-Aire 120V. Ultra-Aire offers the DEH 3000 proprietary control. The DEH 3000 allows homeowners to monitor and control relative humidity and proper ventilation levels in their home. This control is also available with a remote sensing option.
AIR FILTRATION The Ultra-Aire 120V is equipped with a MERV-13 filter. An optional MERV-14 filter is available at www.ThermastorFilters.com. The MERV-13 filter should be checked and replaced every three to six months. If the MERV-14 filter is used, the MERV-13 should act as a pre-filter and sit on top of the MERV-14 filter.
