Placement Of Unit; Installation Guidelines - Wave Home Solutions WV-SCBT Installer Manual

SUMMARY OF KEY INSTALLATION FACTS – EXTREMELY IMPORTANT !
Unobstructed airflow and adequate replenishment air are essential for proper
performance of the unit.
• Unit must be installed at floor level – no higher than 3" from floor.
• Replenishment air has to flow from upstairs into the basement or crawl space. (This does
not apply for slab homes and condos). Do not allow the option of leaving the stairwell
door open. Refer to "Replenishment Air"
• Unit should be installed as far away as possible from the source of replenishment air.
• Outside duct must be no less than 6" and dedicated for the Sensor Control BT only.
• Maximum circulation is required to draw in air from all parts of the basement. Refer to
"Replenishment Air" Unit should have maximum unobstructed area around it.
• Unit should not be installed within 8 feet of combustion appliances.

PLACEMENT OF UNIT

• Air drawn in by the Sensor Control BT pulls moisture off the surface floors and walls. To
maximize the effectiveness; it is recommended to place the Sensor Control BT away from
the source of replenishment air (i.e. stairwell) from upstairs. This will allow for the unit to
draw in the maximum moisture across the greatest surface distance before the upstairs
replenishment air is pulled into the unit.
• Install unit in dampest, coolest and lowest part of basement.
• Keep away from sources of excess heat (i.e. furnace room).
• Unit must be installed all the way down to floor level, in order to draw in the moisture.
Unit cannot be higher than 3 inches off floor level. The Sensor Control BT has an
opening on the bottom to allow for additional airflow. This bottom vent must not be
blocked off.
• Keep at least 8 feet away from furnace or combustion appliance, to avoid interfering with
airflow.
• The area around the unit should be clear to allow the air to be pulled into the vents.
