4.1A in Humid Area, No Ducting (Fig. 4)
The simplest installation is to place the Santa Fe HC in the humid area with no ducting. To ensure optimal performance the air inlet and the outlet of the unit must be at least 1' from walls and other obstructions to air flow.
4.1B In The Humid Area, Duct Inlet and/or Outlet (Fig. 5)
If the humid area is large or has high ceilings, dehumidification can be improved by adding an inlet and/or outlet duct to circulate and destratify stagnant areas. For a large area, add inlet or outlet ducting to create flow across the area's greatest length.
For areas with ceilings higher than 12', use an inlet duct to draw warm, moist air from near the ceiling. See section 5 for attaching duct collars & ducting.

4.1C In A Remote Area, Duct
Inlet & Outlet (Fig. 6)
It is often desirable, especially in recreational rooms and finished areas, to install the Santa Fe HC in an adjacent equipment room or unfinished area. Air is transferred between the humid room and the unit via ducting. The factory mounted humidity control on the Santa Fe HC cabinet may not sense the humidity in the humid room accurately enough with this installation method. If so, a remote humidity control can be mounted in the humid room and wired to the Santa Fe HC. Refer to the optional equipment table in this document. Local electrical codes must be followed when wiring the control.
