LOCALIZED INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

In this configuration the dehumidifier will pull air from an area in the home. The air passes through the dehumidifier, where moisture is removed, and then is returned to the area. This installation is used when the HVAC unit conditions an area other than where dehumidification is needed. An unconditioned basement or crawl space application is ideal for this installation.
