4. Installation
4.1 Location
The Quest 215 Dual can be installed in a variety of locations to meet the owner’s needs as listed below. In all cases keep
the following cautions in mind:
• It is designed to be installed INDOORS IN A SPACE THAT IS PROTECTED FROM RAIN AND FLOODING.
• Install the unit with space to access the back and side panels for maintenance and service and also to allow easy
access to the filter cover panel. DO NOT INSTALL UNIT WITH THE FRONT PANEL OR FILTER COVER
PANEL INACCESSIBLE.
• Avoid discharging the air directly at people, or over the water in pool areas.
• Be certain there is NO chance the unit could fall into water or be splashed and that it is plugged into a GROUND
FAULT INTERRUPTER.
• DO NOT use the Quest 215 Dual as a bench or table.
• DO NOT place the Quest 215 Dual directly on structural members. Provide vibration isolation in order to minimize
operational vibration and/or noise.
• A drain pan MUST be placed under the unit if installed above an area where water leakage could
cause damage.
Place the Quest 215 Dual on supports that raise the base of the unit 2.5” above the top of the flanges on the drain
pan beneath it. Raising the Quest 215 Dual will help the unit drain with gravity flow. Do not place the Quest 215 Dual
directly on structural building members without vibration absorbers or unwanted noise may result.
The Quest 215 Dual may be suspended with steel hanger straps or a suitable alternative from structural members, unit
must be supported from underneath. Don’t hang from sides or ends. Remember to place a drain pan under the unit if it is
suspended above a finished area or above an area where water leakage could cause damage.
The Quest 215 Dual should be located near the existing air handling system to minimize the required ductwork for
connecting the Quest 215 Dual to the existing air handling system. The controls for the Quest 215 Dual are remote from
the unit and must be located in the space that is to be conditioned. The controls are low voltage (24 volt) and should be
connected to the Quest 215 Dual with low voltage thermostat cable.
4.2 Electrical Requirements
WARNING! DO NOT ALLOW THE YELLOW LEAD FROM THE Quest 215 Dual TO CONTACT THE RED
LEAD OR WHITE LEAD FROM THE Quest 215 Dual OR DAMAGE TO THE TRANSFORMER WILL RESULT.
The Quest 215 Dual plugs into a NEMA 6-15 Receptacle. The amp draws for each unit under normal operating
conditions are listed on page 4. A ground fault interrupter protected circuit is required.
Install the remote control panel in a central area of the structure where it will sense the relative humidity of the structure
accurately. Do not install the control panel where it may not accurately sense the relative humidity such as near HVAC
supply registers, near exterior doors, or near a pool or spa. The installer must supply the wiring between the Quest 215
Dual and the control panel. Be sure to safely route the control wiring to prevent damage during installation. Be careful
not to cross the wires when connecting the Quest 215 Dual and the remote control panel or damage to the transformer
may result.
