INTRODUCTION
The PHD 200 Dehumidifier reduces humidity in enclosed
structures by removing water vapor from the air. With
proper use, the PHD 200 can help to dry out damp structural materials, insulation, and contents, and maintain a
healthy level of humidity. Using the PHD 200 may also
prevent secondary damage caused by high humidity.

Fig. A: Parts Identification

Air inlet
Control
Air outlet
Power
socket
Remove/Insert
Temp/RH
sensor
The PHD 200 refrigerant dehumidifier uses a fan to draw
moist air in and condenses it into water that collects in a
tray and is automatically pumped out through a drain
hose. The PHD 200 is preset to automatically maintain a
50% RH level. To change this setting, see “Humidistat
Mode” below. Note: Unit automatically shuts off below
40% RH.
Features:
• Automatic humidistat to set and maintain desired
humidity leve l.
• Recessed handles for easy positioning in confined
spaces.
• Quiet operation and low power consumption.
CONTROLS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Set unit upright
NOTICE: Always store, transport, and use the unit in
a horizontal position. If the unit is ever placed in a
vertical position, return it to the horizontal position
and let it stand for at least 30 minutes befor e turning
it on.
Positioning a Dehumidifier
For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an enclosed area. Place your dehumidifier away from obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could block
airflow into and out of the unit. For more information
about creating an optimum drying environment, contact
Dri-Eaz at 800-932-3030.
TIP: Before installing in a crawlspace or other difficult to
access location, plug in the unit and run it for approximately half an hour to ensure proper operation.
Set up drain hose
The PHD 200 condensate pump connects to a 20 ft. (6
m) plastic drain hose equipped with a quick-connect fitting for quick attachment to the unit. To set up the hose,
unwrap the entire hose and place the unattached end in
a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors – anywhere that water
can drain out safely. Connect the other end of the hose
to the PHD 200. If you use a bucket or other container
for water collection, check it regularly to prevent overflows.
NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire dra in hose. Do
not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place
the end of the hose higher than 3 ft. (1 m) above the bottom of the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstructions
that might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions may
cause a water backup and result in overflows.

Plug in electrical cord
The PHD 200 should be plugged into a GFCI-protected
115 volt outlet rated for at least 15
amps. Always plug
the cord firmly into the unit first, and then plug the other
end into a suitable outlet.
Startup display and normal display modes
When unit is first plugged in to AC power, the control
panel display will briefly cycle through a series of
readouts. This is part of the unit’s self-diagnosis procedure and no user intervention is required.
Turn the unit on
The control panel on the PHD 200 dehumidifier has a
display and a touchpad with four keys. Press the
ON/OFF to turn the unit on. T he unit will now go through
a compressor delay countdown (up to sixty seconds in
duration) and a self diagnostics process.
Once the compressor delay countdown and selfdiagnostics are complete, the display will switch to nor-
mal display mode.
UNIT ON 00 HRS
INLET 00°F / INLET 00%
The first line of the display shows the total number of
hours the unit has been in operation. This value may be
reset to zero to track job hours (see “Job Hours Reset”
below). The second line of the display alternates between inlet temperature and inlet humidity.

returned to normal operating mode before proceeding.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
NOTICE: Handle the unit carefully. Do not drop, throw,
or place the unit where it could fall. Rough treatment can
damage this equipment and may create a hazardous
condition or void warranty.
• Do not expose the control panel to moisture, snow
or rain.
• Protect from freezing.
• Store and transp ort sec urel y to avoid an y dam aging
impact to internal parts.
• Secure during transport to prevent sliding and pos-
sible injury to vehicle occupants.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Unplug unit
before cleaning or servicing.
WARNING: Risk of dust and contaminants exposure.
Use of respirator mask and gloves is recommended. If
unit has been exposed to potentially dangerous contaminants, clean thoroughly and sanitize before reuse.

sors. Protect the sensors and their lead wires from damage and do not expose them to water or cleaning solution.
The following tools and supplies are needed to
complete the maintenance procedures described in
this manual:
Philips screwdriver
10 mm wrench
6 mm hex bit
¼ in. nut driver
Cleaning cloths
HEPA vacuum cleaner with soft brush nozzle and
crevice nozzle.
Recommended
Cordless drill, small knife, small-jaw pliers, coil cleaning solution, rotomolded housing cleaning solution.
Before each use
Inspect the electrical cord for damage. Look for fray-
ing, cuts, etc. Replace the cord if you find any damage.
Inspect filter. The PHD 200 filter should be replaced
when the accumulation of dust is visible.
Monthly
Inspect and clean coils and interior surfaces. In nor-
mal use, dust can accumulate and can restrict airflow,
reducing performance and causing the unit to overheat.
Clean when dust accumulation is visible. Remove grill s
and cover as shown in Fig. B. Use a vacuum cleaner
with a brush tool and a soft cloth to remove any debris.
Take care not to damage any interior components.
To maintain appearance, wipe interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning and a lasting, protective shine, use an automot ive interior cleaner.

and lift off cover.
As Needed
Clean pump check valve and basin. If the unit displays
the message “ER9 PU MP BLO CKED CHECK PUMP &
HOSE”, the pump check valve and pump basin may
need to be cleaned. Remove grills and cover as shown
in Fig. B. Remove screws from pump base and lift out
pump. Wipe out pump basin with a damp cloth. Unthread
barbed fitting with check valve and rinse fitting and
check valve with clean water. Reinstall barbed fitting into
pump. Do not overtighten. Reinstall pump on base. Reinstall cover and grills.
Clean coils. With the cover removed, inspect both coils.
If excessive dust and debris is present, vacuum thoroughly and/or clean with coil cleaner.

CONNECT
The PHD 200 control system constantly monitors internal operating conditions. If the system detects a problem, it will produce an error (“ER”) message. If the display shows an ER message, first unplug the unit and then plug it back in. This will
usually reset the electronics, and the unit will begin operating normally. If the error message reappears, refer to the explanation and solution shown below. If this still does not fix the problem, contact your local authorized service center or call
the Dri-Eaz Service Department at 800-932-3030.
NOTE: The message “POWER FAILURE” is not a system error. When this message is displayed, it indicates that
power to unit was interrupted and then restored. To clear the message, press the MENU SELECTION key.
