Aprilaire 1730A Dehumidifier User Manual


 
STAND ALONE INSTALLATION
In a free standing installation, the dehumidifier pulls air from the
installed space and returns the dehumidified air back to that space.
• Place unit in area with drain access and within 8’ of a dedicated
outlet.
• Unit can also be ducted to pull and return to a single living space.
See Figure 8.

The feet can be adjusted to level the unit and/or to accommodate a p-trap. Leveling is required to ensure proper drainage from the dehumidifier.
• Minimum unit height (feet fully retracted): 2.5”
• Maximum unit height (feet fully extended): 5.75”

WIRING
The dehumidifier can be wired to activate the HVAC blower during dehumidification. This is recommended because it offers better circulation
and balancing of the indoor air conditions. Note: Running the HVAC blower during dehumidification does not affect moisture removal efficiency.
If the unit is not wired to the HVAC system, air is pulled through the unit, dehumidified, and circulated solely by the dehumidifier blower.
