How the PHD 200 works
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 unit can be set to operate continuously or the
user may select Humidistat Mode. In Humidistat Mode,
the PHD 200 will turn on and off automatically to main-
tain 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 level.
• Recessed feet indents ensure secure stacking of up
to three PHD 200 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 IN-
STRUCTIONS
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 en-
closed area. Place your dehumidifier away from obstruc-
tions, 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 approxi-
mately 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 fit-
ting 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 over-
flows.
NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do
not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place
the end of the hose higher than 20 ft. (6 m) above the
bottom of the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstruc-
tions 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 proce-
dure 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. The 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 self-
diagnostics are complete, the display will switch to nor-
mal display mode.
