Installation, Operation and Service Instructions

Read and Save These Instructions

The Phoenix 200 HT features LGR (low grain refrigerant) technology. This technology enables the 200 HT to remove more water and create more grain depression than standard refrigerant dehumidifiers.

Combined with this performance, the multiple ducting and the superior high temperature performance makes the Phoenix 200 HT the most effective and versatile drying device made.

The Phoenix 200 HT

LGR Dehumidifier

In-Board Wheels - Reduces outer dimensions for tighter storage setups and does not catch on obstructions for easier movement around the jobsite.

Recessed Condensate Hose - Does not catch on obstructions and allows for dense storage setups by reducing overall width of the unit.

Increased Capacity - The Phoenix 200 HT removes 5% more water than the 200 MAX.

Improved High-Ambient Performance - Patent pending technology allows superior efficiency in high-ambient conditions.

Focused Airflow - Patent pending focused outlet directs air toward the most wet surface.

325 CFM - More processed air speeds drying and provides superior static pressure for ducting.

More Grain Depression - The driest air from an LGR gets your jobs drier quicker.

Air Filter - A MERV-11 is standard.

Multiple Ducting Options - 12” intake, 10” exhaust.

Energy Efficiency - Draws 7.5 amps.

Skid Plate - Protects the 200 HT from damage while transporting, loading and unloading.

2 Operation

2.1 Transporting

The Phoenix 200 HT must always be upright when transported by vehicle. It may be tipped onto its handle and back for loading and moving by hand. The Phoenix 200 HT features a high-impact plastic skid plate which protects the unit while navigating obstacles such as curbs, stairways, and while loading into vehicles.

2.2 Electrical Requirements

The Phoenix 200 HT plugs into a common grounded outlet on a 15 Amp circuit. It draws 7.5 Amps at 80°F, 60% RH. If used in a wet area, a ground fault interrupter (GFI) is required. If an extension cord is required, it must have a minimum of 14 gauge conductors if 25 feet long or less and 12 gauge conductors if greater than 25 feet long.

2.3 Condensate Removal

The Phoenix 200 HT is equipped with an internal condensate pump to remove the water that is condensed during dehumidification. This allows the condensate to be pumped 20’ with the attached hose. If the condensate must be pumped more than 20 feet above the unit, a second pump must be added to relay the condensate. If the pump fails and the unit must be used before it can be replaced, the condensate can be drained by gravity.

The air inlet on top and the side outlet must be at least 1 foot from walls and other obstructions to air flow. If the

humid area is very large, dehumidification can be improved by adding an outlet duct to circulate air to stagnant areas.

2.4 Ducting

A detachable rectangular exhaust collar is supplied to allow 10” round lay-flat duct to be attached to the Phoenix 200 HT outlet. Lay-flat plastic ducting is available. See accessories on page 6. To attach ducting to a collar, put the plastic duct end through the collar center and roll the duct end outward so that it overlaps the outside of the collar. The duct and collar may then be quickly attached to the Phoenix 200 HT by snapping the collar over the four screws at the blower outlet.

2.5 Power Switch

The power switch (right of hour meter) lights up when the unit is turned on. The unit will continue to run in all conditions until the switch is turned off; there is no dehumidistat. If the unit is going to run for more than 2

hours in an area below 50°F, the defrost timer should be adjusted to improve performance.

2.6 Purge Switch

Pressing and holding the purge switch (left of hour meter) will cause the condensate pump to run. This pump minimizes the water left in the condensate reservoir prior to moving or storage. Hold the switch in until the flow from the condensate hose stops.

2.7 Hour Meter

The digital hour meter measures the cumulative time that the unit is turned on to tenths of an hour. It stores its total when the unit is unplugged; the previous total will be displayed when the unit is next turned on. It resets to zero after 99,999.9 hours of operation.

2.8 Temperature Specific Operation

Above 90°F - When the Phoenix 200 HT is used in high temperature conditions (above 90°F), the refrigerant pressure inside the condenser rises. By removing the grain control magnet from the bypass openings, additional airflow is directed over the condenser and less airflow

is directed across the evaporator. This airflow lowers the refrigerant pressure in the condenser and improves dehumidifier efficiency. The relative reduction or slowing of airflow across the evaporator allows more time for the air temperature to be lowered to the dew point, which also increased dehumidifier efficiency. These higher temperatures are often found after the first 24 hours. See Figure 1 for correct grain control magnet position for operating in temperatures above 90°F.

Figure 1: Defrost timer and grain control magnet position for operating in temperatures above 90°F.

Between 50°F - 90°F - When the Phoenix 200 HT is used in normal dehumidifier operating temperatures (70°F to 90°F), the grain control magnet should cover the bypass openings.

This allows increased airflow across the evaporator and increases performance by increasing the amount of air that is dehumidified. This temperature range is often found during the first 24 hours of a drying job. When the Phoenix 200 HT is used in cooler operating temperatures (50°F to 70°F), the grain control magnet increases airflow across the evaporator and reduces frost formation. See Figure 2 below for correct grain control magnet position for operating in temperatures from 50°F to 90°F.

Figure 2: Defrost timer and grain control magnet position for operating in temperatures above 50°F to 90°F.

Below 50°F -When the Phoenix 200 HT is used in very cool operating temperatures (below 50°F), frost will form on the evaporator coil as it dehumidifies. When enough frost forms, the defrost thermostat will initiate the timed defrost cycle. The cycle periodically turns off the compressor while

allowing the blower to run. The grain control magnet should cover the bypass openings in this operating range because the increased airflow and static pressure will help defrost
