2. Installation 
2.1 Uncrating and Inspecting 
Seresco inspects and fully tests each 
dehumidifier in all operating modes before it 
ships from the factory. The unit can suffer 
damage in transit. Check the equipment 
thoroughly for both visible and concealed 
damage before you sign the receiving papers. 
Document any damage in writing on the 
carrier’s bill of lading to ensure that damage 
claims are handled promptly. If the unit has 
been damaged, obtain a claim form from the 
carrier. Promptly fill out and return the form, 
and notify Seresco of any damage. 
Damage claims or missing parts must 
be filed with the freight carrier. 
2.2. Mounting and Service Clearance 
The NE Series dehumidifier continuously 
removes a significant amount of moisture from 
the room air. Some models have a pool water 
heating option. Condensate lines and pool 
water circuits can leak. 
Do not install the unit in a location 
where a water leak will cause damage. 
  The mechanical room where the unit is 
installed should have a floor drain. 
  If there is no floor drain, a secondary pan 
with a drain or condensate pump should be 
installed under the entire unit. (as is done 
with a residential washing machine) 
  Do not store pool chemicals in the same 
room as the dehumidifier. 
Install the unit on an appropriate mounting 
base or a platform. Install industry standard 
components that prevent vibration and sound 
transmission. Never install the dehumidifier on 
a wooden platform that can resonate. Do not 
install the unit near occupied rooms such as 
bedrooms. Never suspend from the floor joists 
of an occupied room above the mechanical 
room. Never locate the unit above a swimming 
pool or a spa water surface. 
  Figures 5 & 6 illustrate typical unit mounting 
configurations. 
  Ensure the support structure will not 
interfere with the operation of or access to 
unit. 
  No Access = no service or maintenance.  
All NE series units have been designed to 
require only two sides access. 
Looking into the return duct connection allow a 
minimum of 36 inches of clearance on the 
right side (with the logo on it) and opposite 
end of the NE series dehumidifier for piping, 
duct connections, and service access.

Installation
Figure 6 – Typical Suspended Installation 
DO NOT install a standard indoor 
dehumidifier in an unconditioned space or 
where ambient temperatures can fall below 
45°F or climb above 90°F.
 If such a space is 
being considered, Seresco offers outdoor-
rated dehumidifiers with weatherproofing and 
thicker insulation.
