4. Installation
4.1 Location
The Quest 506 Dehumidifier can be installed in a variety of locations to meet the owner’s needs as listed below. In all
cases keep the following cautions in mind:
• It is designed to be installed INDOORS IN A SPACE THAT IS PROTECTED FROM RAIN AND FLOODING.
• Install the unit with space to access side panel for maintenance and service. DO NOT INSTALL UNIT WITH
ACCESS PANEL INACCESSIBLE.
• Avoid discharging the air directly at people, or over the water in pool areas.
• Be certain there is NO chance the unit could fall into water or be splashed and that it is plugged into a GROUND
FAULT INTERRUPTER.
• DO NOT use the Quest 506 Dehumidifier as a bench or table.
• DO NOT place the Quest 506 Dehumidifier directly on structural members. Provide vibration isolation in order to
minimize operational vibration and/or noise.
• A drain pan MUST be placed under the unit if installed above an area where water leakage could
cause damage.
4.2 Electrical Requirements
Electrical shock Hazard: Electrical power must be present for some
tests. These tests should performed by a qualified service person.
The Quest 506 Dehumidifier plugs into NEMA rated Receptacles. The amp draws for each unit under normal operating
conditions are listed on page 4. A ground fault interrupter protected circuit is required.
Install the remote control panel in a central area of the structure where it will sense the relative humidity of the structure
accurately. Do not install the control panel where it may not accurately sense the relative humidity such as near HVAC
supply registers, near exterior doors, or near a pool or spa.
The installer must supply the wiring between the Quest 506
Dehumidifier and the control panel. Be sure to safely route the control wiring to prevent damage during installation. Be
careful not to cross the wires when connecting the Quest 506 Dehumidifier and the remote control panel.
The remote controls of the Quest 506 Dehumidifier are powered by a low voltage circuit (24 VAC) and must NEVER
contact or be connected to a high voltage circuit. The control terminals and remote control are labeled and numbered to
prevent confusion. Be sure to consult the electrical schematic in this manual or inside the access panel of the Quest 506
Dehumidifier before making the control connections.
Damaged power cords can only be replaced with one by the unit
manufacturer.
4.3 Condensate Water Removal
Condensate drains by gravity via the drain port. Use 3/4” male NPT PVC pipe. Route the drain pipe through provided
trap to drain. An optional condensate pump kit may be installed if a lift is required to dispose of the condensate. The
condensate pump kit can be ordered directly from the factory. See the optional parts list for information on the kit.
