Humidex

Ideal location installation locations
For HCS-BS or HCS-CS
Air drawn in by Humidex pulls moisture off the surface floors and walls. To maximize the
effectiveness;
A) Install unit in dampest, coolest, and lowest part of basement.
B) If possible, without hindering point “A”, install the Humidex as far away as possible from
the source of replenishment air (i.e. stairwell) from upstairs or from replenishment air grill in
crawl space area. This will allow for the unit to draw in the maximum moisture across the
greatest surface distance before the upstairs replenishment air is pulled into the unit.
For HCS-BSF
The booster fan unit should be installed no further than 20 feet from the HCS exhaust for optimal
performance. The air exhausted from the booster should also be directed away from the HCS exhaust
unit by using the non-insulated flex provided.
For HCS-APT or HCS-APTHC
To determine the best location, examine the dwelling for an outside wall where you could install the
HCS-APT or HCS-APTHC. This location should be as far as possible from sources of replenishment
air such as windows, hallways and doors. Try to find a location where no electrical wires or pipes are
present inside the wall. The unit must be installed on an outside wall.
