The DH-100V 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 DH-100V 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 DH-100V 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.
