Installation situations to be aware of:
PROTRUDING WALL OR BASEBOARD:
In this situation, block or insert spacer on the back of the unit to be able to securely fasten it to the
wall. It is essential to have the bottom of the unit no higher than 3 inches off the floor.
NOTES ABOUT COLD SURFACES:
• IMPORTANT: Lower temperature means higher relative humidity and lower dew point,
when compared to the same amount of water molecules in the air at higher temperature.
• It is strongly recommended that any exposed pipes and ducts be insulated, to reduce
condensation on these cold surfaces.
• If the basement is not insulated and the surfaces are cold in the summertime (less than 68
degrees), then a small amount of heat may be required until the Sensor Control BT has had
time to raise the temperature. This will prevent condensation on the surfaces in times of high
temperatures or large temperature differentials between the upstairs and the basement.
• Air conditioning vents in the basement may cool the air before dehumidifying and may
actually cause the relative humidity to increase. In those circumstances the vents should be
closed.
• It is important to raise the temperature in a cold basement when the moisture level is high.
