Condensate Removal | Therma-Stor Products Group HI-E Dry Vehere

3.2Mounting The Remote Humidity Sensor/ Controller

If the Vehere is to be located in a remote location outside the pool or spa area, mounting of the humidity sensor in the space to be conditioned is necessary. If the humidity sensor is not located in the conditioned space, the Vehere will not operate properly.

IMPORTANT: Locate the humidity element on an inside wall, free from drafts, out of direct sunlight, and where the element is not exposed to excessive vibration. Be careful not to drop the unit.

Mount the wall mount element at a height of 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) above the floor.

To mount the HI-E DRY Vehere dehumidistat on a wall for remote application, first remove the cover from the controller by lifting the side of the controller cover over the catch tabs on both sides. The cover comes off easily.

Figure 6: Mark mounting holes as indicated by arrows.

Hold the unit to the surface you would like to mount it on. You will need to mark the locations for two screw holes and one square knockout to accommodate wires and the devices wire guard. The wire-guard tabs fit inside the wall. (See Fig. 6, 7)

Once marked, drill a 1/8” hole for each mounting screw location and tap the provided anchor mount into the hole. Use the provided screws to then mount the humidity control to the wall. Route the wiring through the hole you have created and connect wires according to the directions found in this manual. Replace plastic housing.

3.3 Electrical Requirements

The Vehere can be plugged into any grounded 20 Amp circuit. At 80°F, 60% RH, it draws 11.6 Amps. A dedicated 20 Amp circuit is recommended.

3.4 Condensate Removal

Condensate drains by gravity via the clear hose extending from the unit. Route the 4’ drain hose to a floor drain. Use care to keep the hose as flat to the floor as possible. Keep the hose away from walk ways if possible. Excessive humps or kinks will prevent proper drainage. If the Vehere is located too far from a floor drain for the attached hose to reach, inexpensive 1/2” PVC pipe can be used to extend it. It is commonly available in 10’ lengths from building supply, plumbing and hardware stores. It will slide tightly inside the end of the drain hose. If more than one length of pipe is required, they can be joined with a short piece cut from the end of the drain hose.

3.5 Ducting

3.5A Ducting kit

The factory installation kit includes two twelve-inch collars to allow ducting to be attached to the inlet and outlet of the Vehere. The 12” collar with three tabs can be attached via the holes provided in the front of the unit, and the 12” flanged collar can be affixed to the top opening. S (See Fig. 8)
