One of the Unique Selling points of a wall mounted dehumidifier is that it is effortless to install. Users can quickly fix it by following the procedure mentioned in the handout provided with the unit. CtrlTech offers a wallpaper stencil along with their wall dehumidifier. With this stencil's help, one can easily fix the bracket and locate the drain point. Please follow the following step-by-step guide for installation.
Choose the location: For better performance location of the unit should be considered very carefully. The place should be in the most damped area. If you use the unit as a swimming pool dehumidifier, install it near the pool. The dehumidifier should also be installed near an electrical outlet with enough airflow clearance.
Determine the mounting height: Installation height of the dehumidification system is crucial. Please note that the humid air is heavy, and it tends to be at the ground level. So, the system should not be installed from the ground at a very high level. Wall-mounted dehumidifiers should not be installed at heights of more than 1.5 meters.
Mark the mounting holes: Once you have selected the mounting height, it is time to fix the wall bracket. If the manufacturer provides installation stencil, stick it on the wall and drill the holes. Otherwise, use measuring tape, a level gauge, & a pencil.
Drill the mounting holes: Make holes in the wall at the marked locations using a drill. The size of the holes will depend on the mounting hardware provided with your dehumidifier for wall, so consult the installation manual.
Install the mounting bracket: Drill holes in the wall at the indicated locations. The mounting hardware included with your dehumidifier will determine the size of the holes, so consult the installation manual for more information.
Hang the dehumidifier: Once you fix the bracket, you must securely hang the unit on the frame. While mounting, please use rubber pads between the system and bracket to avoid sound due to the vibration.
Connect the power, drain, and fresh air supply: A wall mounted dehumidifier with a drain hose need a drain point connection. Make sure that the pipe has a proper slope. If required, connect the fresh air supply duct to the inlet provided at the back side of the unit. Ensure the power supply connection is made per the manufacturer's guidelines.
Test the unit: After installation, switch on the unit and check if everything works fine. Then, with the controller's help, adjust the required humidifier and mode of operation. If needed, adjust the fan speed. Make sure that water is coming out from the drain.
