locks in the up position. Repeat to lock the handle in the down position. More compact storage can be achieved by stacking the units two high. The wheels of the unit ‘nest’ in the indentations of the bottom unit to provide stability, see figure 1. It is recommended the units are properly secured for transport. The Phoenix R200 must always be upright when transported by vehicle. It may be tipped onto its handle and back for loading and moving by hand. 3.2 Electrical Requirements The Phoenix R200 plugs into a common grounded outlet on a 15 amp circuit. It draws 8.3 amps at 80°F, 60% RH. If used in a wet area, a ground fault interrupter (GFI) is required.

If an extension cord is required, it must have a minimum of 14 gauge conductors if 25 feet long or less and 12 gauge conductors if greater than 25 feet long. Figure 2: Phoenix R200 control board. the compressor is off. When the air temperature and/or humidity increases, the evaporator temperature will rise and the thermistor will end the defrost cycle at the defrost set point. 3.3 Condensate Removal The Phoenix R200 is equipped with an internal condensate pump to remove the water that is condensed during dehumidification. This pump allows the condensate to be pumped 20 feet above the unit with the attached hose.

If the condensate must be pumped more than 20 feet above the unit, a relay pump must be added. The condensate pump automatically purges for 20 seconds every eight minutes. Use the PURGE button to empty reservoir. If the condensate level rises in the reservoir to a critical level a back-up float switch will activate the pump-out for up to 1 minute. If the water in the reservoir fails to be evacuated, the safety switch will turn off the compressor. 3.6 POWER Button Press the POWER button to turn the dehumidifier “on” or “off”. When starting the dehumidifier the display will show the accumulated hours. Press the POWER button again to turn the dehumidifier off. The display will also power off.

3.7 PURGE Button During normal operation the pump automatically cycles every four minutes. Press the PURGE button to remove condensate manually from the reservoir. There are three ways to manually remove water from the reservoir: 1. Press the PURGE button once and the pump will run 3.4 Ducting A wire duct collar is supplied to allow 10” lay-flat duct to be attached to the Phoenix R200 outlet. Lay-flat plastic ducting is available (see accessories in section 6). Attach ducting to the wire duct collar by inserting the plastic duct end through the collar center and rolling the duct end outward to overlap the outside of the collar.

The duct and collar may then be quickly attached to the Phoenix R200 by snapping the collar over the four plastic exhaust tabs. If the R200 is located in the unaffected area, the intake can be ducted with 12” flex duct (see accessories in section 6). Attach the flex duct to the top cover by hooking the spiral wire under the four tabs. Tape the duct to the top cover for a complete seal. for 20 seconds 2. Press and hold the PURGE button and the pump will run for up to 30 seconds 3. Press the PURGE button while the dehumidifier is plugged in but powered off and the pump will run for 30 seconds. Always manually purge the water reservoir before transport or storage.

Turn off the power and allow the plugged in dehumidifier to rest 15 minutes before the final purge. 3.8 Hour Meter The digital hour meter displays the amount of time the dehumidifier has been turned on to the tenth of an hour. The hour meter continuously cycles between total machine hours and job hours every 3 seconds. Hours are stored in memory even when the unit is unplugged. The previous totals will be displayed next time the unit is powered on. 3.5 Defrost Cycle If the low side refrigerant temperature drops below the defrost set point, due to excessive frost formation on the evaporator coil, the thermistor activates the solid-state control and the defrost light.

The control cycles the com­ pressor “off” and “on” by the thermistor temperature mea­ surement. The air mover will continue to run, causing air to flow through the evaporator coil and melt the ice when 3.9 HOURS Button Pressing the HOURS button displays the hour meter when the unit is turned off but plugged into power. To reset job hours, press and hold the HOURS button for 5 seconds when the unit is operating. 3 www.UsePhoenix.com • sales@UsePhoenix.com Toll-Free 1-800-533-7533

3.10 Defrost Light The DEFROST light turns on when the unit is in defrost cycle and indicates when the compressor is off. The filter can generally be vacuumed clean several times before needing replacement. Replacement filters can be ordered from the manufacturer or purchased locally if available. 3.11 Bypass Control Below 90°F - When the Phoenix R200 is used in normal dehumidifier operating temperatures (below 90°F), the bypass cover must close the bypass openings, figure 3. This maximizes performance by increasing the amount of air that is dehumidified across the evaporator. This temperature range is often found during the first 24 hours of a drying job. IMPORTANT:

DO NOT operate the unit without the filter or with a less effective filter as the heat exchanger and coils inside the unit could become clogged and require disassembly to clean. Bypass Cover 4.2 Storage There are two issues to consider when the Phoenix R200 is stored between uses and both pertain to the water trapped in the unit: damage caused by freezing or biological growth. The effect of the trapped water can be greatly reduced if precautions are taken to remove as much as possible before storage. 1. Use the pump PURGE button to reduce the water level Figure 3 BypassCover in the reservoir 2.

Walk out the hose to drain it completely In order to reduce biological growth flush the unit with a biofungicide that is approved for use with copper, aluminum, polyethylene and ABS. To flush: 1. Run the hose to a drain 2. Plug in the unit but do not turn it on 3. Remove the air filter. Slowly pour a pint of the Above 90°F - When the Phoenix R200 is used in high temperature conditions above 90°F, reposition the bypass cover to open the bypass holes, figure 4. This improves dehumidifier efficiency by increasing the amount of airflow over the condenser and lowering the refrigerant pressure.

Simultaneously, this slows the airflow across the evaporator allowing the air temperature to be lowered to the dew point and increases dehumidifier capacity. These higher temperatures are often found after the first 24 hours. Bypass Openings Figure 4 chemical through the top so that it drains into the heat exchanger 4. Use PURGE button to remove chemicals in reservoir. Run PURGE until hose runs dry 5. Walk out hose to drain completely 6. Replace air filter Bypass openings located under filter 5 Service Remove filter, snap grain control cover into position shown, and replace filter. WARNING:

Servicing the Phoenix R200 with its high pressure refrigerant system and high voltage circuitry presents a health hazard which could result in death, serious bodily injury, and/or property damage. Only qualified service people should service this unit. 4 Maintenance 4.1 Air Filter The Phoenix R200 is equipped with a pleated media air filter that must be checked regularly. The standard filter is a MERV-11 high efficiency filter. Operating the unit with a dirty filter will reduce the dehumidifier’s capacity and efficiency and may force the unit into defrost causing the compressor to cycle “off” and “on” unnecessarily. CAUTION: Do not operate unit without the front housing in place.

5.1 Technical Description The Phoenix R200 uses a refrigeration system similar to an air conditioner’s to remove heat and moisture from incoming air and to add heat to the air that is discharged. 4 www.UsePhoenix.com • sales@UsePhoenix.com Toll-Free 1-800-533-7533
