ATTACHING DUCT COLLARS Duct Collar Installation Remove the two round ducts, oval duct, and oval duct seal and small bag of mounting hardware from inside the rectangle opening. Fresh Air Ventilation Duct Fresh air ventilation is optional. Attach 6" diameter duct to the unit using the screws provided. The 6" duct should be capped if fresh air is not desired.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The Ultra-Aire XT155H plugs into a common grounded 115 VAC outlet. The device draws 8.0 Amps at 80°F and 60% RH. Locate the dehumidifier in an area where the cord’s length (9') easily reaches a 115 VAC electrical outlet with a minimum of 15 Amp circuit capacity. If used in an area that may become wet, a GFCI protected circuit is recommended.
DRAIN INSTALLATION The Ultra-Aire XT155H generates condensate. Place a secondary drain pan under the dehumidifier if it is suspended above a finished area or above an area where water leakage could cause damage. A drain trap is required for the dehumidifier to drain properly. Install a 3/4" threaded male NPT adapter to the drain pan.
DUCTING TO HVAC SYSTEMS The recommended installation creates a separate return for the Ultra-Aire XT155H in a central area of the structure. Duct the supply of the unit to the air supply of the existing HVAC system. Connect an insulated duct from outside to the 6"...
DUCTING TO HVAC SYSTEMS Recommended HVAC System Installation The recommended installation draws air from a dedicated indoor air return and ducts the supply of the dehumidifier to the air supply of the existing HVAC system. Utilize the optional fresh air ventilation duct to provide outside air.

DUCTING TO HVAC SYSTEMS No Existing Ductwork Installation When installing the Ultra-Aire XT155H in a structure that does not have a forced air HVAC system, a single return for the Ultra Aire XT155H should be installed in a central location. Install an insulated duct from outside to the 6"...
FRESH AIR VENTILATION Fresh air ventilation is optional. Fresh air may be brought into the structure by connecting an insulated duct from outside the structure to the 6" inlet of the Ultra-Aire XT155H. A ventilation control is needed to program the time and frequency that the unit introduces outside air.
FRESH AIR VENTILATION Determine Ventilation Requirements The MINIMUM ventilation requirement is calculated using ASHRAE 62.2-2010. Use one or both of the options below to determine your ventilation requirement. Follow all local and national building and safety codes. Option 1: Calculating Airflow Requirement Using ASHRAE 62.2-2010 Airflow Equation ASHRAE Airflow in CFM = [House Area in Sq.Ft.
CONTROLS A control must be used with the Ultra-Aire XT155H. 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.
