Controls and Operating - PHD 200

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Set unit upright

NOTICE: Always store, transport, and use the unit in a horizontal position. If the unit is ever placed in a vertical position, return it to the horizontal position and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before turning it on.

 

Positioning a Dehumidifier

For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an enclosed area. Place your dehumidifier away from obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could block airflow into and out of the unit. For more information about creating an optimum drying environment, contact Legend Brands at info.LegendBrands.com.

TIP: Before installing in a crawlspace or other difficult to access location, plug in the unit and run it for approximately half an hour to ensure proper operation.

 

Set up drain hose

The PHD 200 condensate pump connects to a 40 ft. (12 m) plastic drain hose equipped with a quick-connect fitting for quick attachment to the unit. To set up the hose, unwrap the entire hose and place the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors – anywhere that water can drain out safely. Connect the other end of the hose to the PHD 200. If you use a bucket or other container for water collection, check it regularly to prevent overflows.

NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place the end of the hose higher than 3 ft. (1 m) above the bottom of the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstructions that might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions may cause a water backup and result in overflows.

 

Plug in electrical cord

The PHD 200 should be plugged into a GFCI-protected 115 volt outlet rated for at least 15 amps.

 

Startup display and normal display modes

When unit is first plugged in to AC power, the control panel display will briefly cycle through a series of readouts. This is part of the unit’s self-diagnosis procedure and no user intervention is required.
