QUEST 155 INSTALL ATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS DUCTING TO HVAC OPTIONS A. HVAC SUPPLY TO SUPPLY CAUTION! To avoid the dehumidifier cycling in and out of DEFROST, it is recommended that the leaving air temperature of the A/C coil is not below 55°F. Also, this install is not recommended for climates where the heating system will run during the spring and fall times of year, as this could diminish the water removal capability of the dehumidifier.

Create a separate return for the Quest 155 Dehumidifierin a central area of the building. Installing the supply air from the Quest 155 Dehumidifier to the return of the HVAC system requires the HVAC fan to run when the Quest Dehumidifier is operating.
Page 12
Proper air distribution is important for optimal performance of the dehumidifier. Install a 6” insulated duct from outside, teeing into the 14” return duct of the Quest 155 Dehumidifier to provide outdoor air ventilation (optional).

Filter non-compliance invalidates the product warranty. 6.1 STANDARD AIR FILTER The Quest 155 dehumidifier ships with a standard MERV-13 efficient pleated fabric filter. This filter should be checked every six months. Operating the unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity and efficiency and may cause the compressor to cycle off and on unnecessarily on the defrost control.
