2 Installation

2.1 Location

The Santa Fe 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 ONLY.

•

If used near a pool or spa, be certain there is NO

chance the unit could roll into the water or be

splashed and that it is plugged into a GROUND

FAULT INTERRUPTER.

•••• DO NOT use the Santa Fe as a bench or table.

•

Avoid discharging the air directly at people,

especially in pool areas.

2.1A In humid area, no ducting.

The simplest installation is to place the Santa Fe in the

humid area with no ducting. The air inlet on top & outlet

on the side must be at least 1' from walls and other

obstructions to air flow.

2.1B In humid area, duct inlet and/or outlet.

If the humid area is very 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 2.4 for attaching duct collars & ducting.
