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.
