INTRODUCTION

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

sensor

The Revolution refrigerant dehum idif ier 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 unit can be set to operate continuously
or the user may select Humidistat Mode. In Humidistat
Mode, the Revolution will turn on and off automatically to
maintain the inlet humidity level the user has selected.
Note that the fan will operate continuously when the unit
is in Humidistat Mode.

Features:

• Industrial-quality dehumidifier removes up to 134
pints (63 liters) of water per day.

• Automatic humidistat to set and maintain desired
humidity leve l.

• Recessed feet indents ensure secure stacking of up
to three Revolution units for storage and transport.

• Designed for convenient stacking and transporting
on a handtruck.

• 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 before turning
it on.

Positioning a Dehumidifier

For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an en­closed area. Close all doors and windows that open to
the outside to maximize water removal efficiency. 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.

Set up drain hose

The Revolution condensate pump connects to a plastic
drainage hose. This hose is equipped with a quick­connect fitting for quick attachment to the provided 40 ft.
(12 m) drain hose. Unwrap the entire hose and place the
unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors –
anywhere that water can drain out safely. If you use a
bucket or other container for water collection, check it
regularly to prevent overflows.

NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hos e. Do
not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place

07-01839A F413-115V 2013-11 Warranty 07-00420 2 Dri-Eaz Products, Inc.

the end of the hose higher than 20 ft. (6 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 Revolution shou ld be plug ged int o 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 mod es
