4. Installation
4.1 Location
The Quest Dual Dehumidifier 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 Dual Dehumidifier as a bench or table.
DO NOT place the Quest Dual Dehumidifier 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 Dual Dehumidifier 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 Dual Dehumidifier will help the unit drain with gravity flow. Do not place the
Quest Dual Dehumidifier directly on structural building members without vibration absorbers or unwanted noise may
result.
The Quest Dual Dehumidifier 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. See
section 4.4
4.2 Electrical Requirements
The Quest Dual Dehumidifier plugs into NEMA rated Receptacles. 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 Dual
Dehumidifier 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 Dual Dehumidifier and the remote control panel.
The remote controls of the Quest Dual Dehumidifier are powered by a low voltage circuit (24 VAC) and must NEVER
contact or be connected to a high voltage circuit. The control terminals and remote control are labeled and numbered to
prevent confusion. Be sure to consult the electrical schematic in this manual or inside the access panel of the Quest Dual
Dehumidifier before making the control connections.

CAUTION! For proper drainage, the unit must be mounted so the drain outlet is at least 4”
above the floor drain, and must be fully supported under the base.
4.3 Condensate Water Removal
Condensate drains by gravity via the drain port. Use 3/4” male NPT PVC pipe. Route drain pipe to drain. Install a trap if
possible. Take care when installing drain pipe to drain port. Use an adjustable wrench to secure the drain port. An optional
condensate pump kit may be installed if a lift is required to dispose of the condensate. The condensate pump kit can be
ordered directly from the factory. See the optional parts list for information on the kit.
When installing the drain hose make sure the feet are extended such that the dehumidifier is 2 1/2” o the ground.
Then coil the drain hose under itself or position a spacer to lift the hose 1” o the ground after the hose has touched the
ground. This procedure will create a trap that ensures your unit drains correctly. See the diagram below for further visual
clarification.

6. Maintenance
WARNING! NOTE: Do not operate the unit without the filter or with a less eective filter.
The heat exchange coils inside the unit could become clogged and require disassembly to clean.
Filter non-compliance invalidates the product warranty.
6.1 Standard Air Filter
The Quest Dual Dehumidifier ships with a standard MERV 11 ecient pleated fabric filter. This filter should be checked
every six months. Operating the unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity and eciency and may cause the
compressor to cycle o and on unnecessarily on the defrost control.
To access the air filter, remove the filter access panel from the end of the Quest Dual Dehumidifier. The filter should be
readily visible and can be removed by pulling it straight out of the Quest Dual Dehumidifier.
We recommend changing the filter at least with every grow cycle.
6.2 Impeller Fan Oiling
The impeller fan motor is factory lubricated for many years of normal operation, and no further oiling is required.
7. Service
WARNING! Servicing the Quest Dual 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.
7.1 Warranty
A warranty certificate has been enclosed with this unit; read it before any repair is initiated. If a warranty repair is
required, call the factory first at 1-877-420-1330 for warranty claim authorization and technical assistance.

Quest 105/155/205/ 225 Dual Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions
10 www.QuestHydro.com
info@QuestHydro.com
7.2 Technical Description
The Quest Dual Dehumidifier uses a refrigeration system similar to an air conditioner's to remove heat and moisture from
incoming air, and add heat to the air that is discharged.
Hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas is routed from the compressor to the condenser coil. The refrigerant is cooled and condensed
by giving up its heat to the air that is about to be discharged from the unit. The refrigerant liquid then passes through a filter/
drier and capillary tubing which causes the refrigerant pressure and temperature to drop. It next enters the evaporator coil
where it absorbs heat from the incoming air and evaporates. The evaporator operates in a flooded condition, which means that all
the evaporator tubes contain liquid refrigerant during normal operation. A flooded evaporator should maintain nearly constant
pressure and temperature across the entire coil, from inlet to outlet.
The mixture of gas and liquid refrigerant enter the accumulator after leaving the evaporator coil. The accumulator prevents any
liquid refrigerant from reaching the compressor. The compressor evacuates the cool refrigerant gas from the accumulator and
compresses it to a high pressure and temperature to repeat the process.
7.3 Troubleshooting

7.4 Refrigerant Charging
If the refrigerant charge is lost due to service or a leak, a new charge must be accurately weighed in. If any of the old charge is left
in the system, it must be recovered before weighing in the new charge. Refer to the unit nameplate for the correct charge weight
and refrigerant type.
7.5 Impeller Fan Replacement
The motorized impeller fan is a unitary assembly consisting of the motor and impeller fan. If defective, the complete assembly
must be replaced.
1. Unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the cabinet access panel.
3. Remove the screw attaching the impeller fan support bracket to the base.
4. Disconnect the impeller fan leads inside the electric box.
5. Remove fan/bracket assembly by removing 3 screws from the bracket and inlet ring assembly.
6. Remove the defective impeller fan from the bracket and replace with it with the new impeller fan.
7. Reassemble the new impeller fan by reversing the above procedure. Note: There are two pins on the backside of the cabinet
that must align with the two holes in the impeller fan support bracket.
7.6 Compressor/Capacitor Replacement
This compressor is equipped with a two terminal external overload and a run capacitor, but no start capacitor or relay
(See Figure 4).
7.6A Checking Compressor Motor Circuits
Perform the following tests if the impeller fan runs but the compressor does not with the fan switch and ventilation timer OFF and
the humidity control ON.
1. Unplug the unit; remove the cabinet side and the electrical connection cover on the compressor top.
2. Plug in the unit and turn the humidity control to ON. Check for volts from compressor terminal R to overload terminal 3 using
an AC voltmeter. If correct voltage is present, go to step 3. If no voltage, there may be a loose connection in the compressor
circuit. Test each component for continuity. See the appropriate section if a defect is suspected.
3. Unplug the unit, and then disconnect the red and yellow wires from compressor terminals R & S. Using an ohmmeter check
continuity between the points listed below.
4. Compressor terminals C and S: No continuity indicates an open start winding. The compressor must be replaced. Normal start
winding resistance is 3 to 7 ohms.
5. Compressor terminals C and R: No continuity indicates an open run winding. The compressor must be replaced. Normal run
winding resistance is .5 to 2 ohms.
6. Compressor terminal C and overload terminal 1: No continuity indicates a defective overload lead.
7. Overload terminals 1 and 3: If there is no continuity, the overload may be tripped. Wait 10 minutes and try again. If there is still
no continuity, it is defective and must be replaced.
8. Compressor terminal C and compressor case: Continuity indicates a grounded motor. The compressor must be replaced.
9. Disconnect the wires from the run capacitor. Set the ohmmeter to the Rx1 scale. The capacitor is shorted and must be
replaced if continuity exists across its terminals. If there is no needle movement with the meter set on the Rx100000 scale,
the capacitor is open and must be replaced.
10. Reconnect the wires to the compressor and capacitor. Plug in and turn on the unit. If the compressor fails to start, replace the
run capacitor.
11. If the unit still does not start, adding a hard-start kit (relay & capacitor) will provide greater starting torque. If this doesn't work,
the compressor has an internal mechanical defect and must be replaced.

7.6B Replacing a Burned Out Compressor
The refrigerant and oil mixture in a compressor is chemically very stable under normal operating conditions. However, when
an electrical short occurs in the compressor motor, the resulting high temperature arc causes a portion of the refrigerant oil
mixture to break down into carbonaceous sludge, a very corrosive acid, and water. These contaminants must be carefully removed
otherwise even small residues will attack replacement compressor motors and cause failures.
The following procedure is eective only if the system is monitored after replacing the compressor to insure that the clean up was
complete.
1. This procedure assumes that the previously listed compressor motor circuit tests revealed a shorted or open winding.
2. Remove and properly dispose of the system charge. DO NOT vent the refrigerant or allow it to contact your eyes or skin.
3. Remove the burned out compressor. Use rubber gloves if there is any possibility of contacting the oil or sludge.
4. To facilitate subsequent steps, determine the type of burn out that occurred. If the discharge line shows no evidence of sludge
and the suction line is also clean or perhaps has some light carbon deposits, the burn out occurred while the compressor
was not rotating. Contaminants are therefore largely confined to the compressor housing. A single installation of liquid and
suction line filter/driers will probably clean up the system.
If sludge is evident in the discharge line, it will likely be found in the suction line. This indicates the compressor burned out will
running. Sludge and acid have been pumped throughout the system. Several changes of the liquid and suction filter/driers will
probably be necessary to cleanse the system.
5. Correct the system fault that caused the burn out. Consult the factory for advice.
6. Install the replacement compressor with a new capacitor and an oversized liquid line filter.
In a running burn out, install an oversized suction line filter/drier between the accumulator and compressor. Thoroughly flush
the accumulator with refrigerant to remove all trapped sludge and to prevent the oil hole from becoming plugged. A standing
burn out does not require a suction line filter/drier.
7. Evacuate the system with a good vacuum pump and accurate vacuum gauge. Leave the pump on the system for at least an
hour.
8. Operate the system for a short period of time, monitoring the suction pressure to determine that the suction filter is not
becoming plugged. Replace the suction filter/drier if pressure drop occurs. If a severe running burn out has occurred, several
filter/driers may have to be replaced to remove all of the acid and moisture.
NOTE: NEVER use the compressor to evacuate the system or any part of it.
7.6C Replacing a Compressor, Nonburn Out
Remove the refrigerant from the system. Replace the compressor and liquid line filter/drier. Charge the system to 50 PSIG and
check for leaks. Remove the charge and weigh in the refrigerant quantity listed on the nameplate. Operate the system to verify
performance.
7.7 Remote Controls
The Quest Dual Dehumidifier is controlled by devices mounted on a panel that is remote from the unit. You may or may not have
the devices listed below depending on the model of the remote control panel you purchased. If the Quest Dual Dehumidifier
fails to operate as desired, always check the settings of the controls to insure that they are correct. Check that the controls are
receiving 24Vac from the Quest Dual Dehumidifier. Check the connections between the Quest Dual Dehumidifier, the control
panel, and the field control wiring.

7.7A Humidity Control
The humidity control is an adjustable switch that closes when the relative humidity of the air in which it is located rises to the dial
set point. It opens when the RH drops 4 to 6% below the set point. If the Quest Dual Dehumidifier does not run, try turning the
humidity control clockwise until it reaches the stop and the knob pointer points at “Max Dry” (see back of control panel cover). If
it still does not run, remove the stop screw from the panel and turn the knob farther. If it then runs, the humidity control is out of
calibration or the RH is below 40%.
The Quest Dual Dehumidifier is equipped with an automatic defrost mechanism. If the Quest Dual Dehumidifier operates in
conditions that develop frost on the evaporator, it will sense the frost build-up and automatically defrost the evaporator. The
Quest Dual Dehumidifier may not appear to be operating correctly during the defrost sequence, but once the defrost sequence is
completed, the Quest Dual Dehumidifier will resume dehumidifying.
7.7B Programmable Ventilation Timer
The ventilation timer controls the impeller fan and the motorized fresh air damper. When the ventilation timer is activated, the
Quest Dual Dehumidifier will circulate the indoor air, and bring in fresh air from outside. The ventilation timer should be set for
the required ventilation of the residence. The structure should be ventilated with fresh air as suggested by applicable codes and
standards.
If the Quest Dual Dehumidifier fails to ventilate as expected, check that the time on the timer is correct. For the timer to carry
out the program schedule, the slide switch in the upper left corner on the timer must be set to “AUTO”. The slide switch in the
upper right corner of the Quest Dual Dehumidifier must be set to “RUN”. Also check the programs on the timer to be sure that
the timer is calling for ventilation at the correct times. If the timer fails to operate or operates erratically, reset the timer; see
section 4.5 of this manual.
7.8 Defrost Thermostat
The defrost thermostat is attached to the refrigerant suction tube between the accumulator and the compressor. It will
automatically shut the compressor o if the low side refrigerant temperature drops due to excessive frost formation on the
evaporator coil. The impeller fan will continue to run, causing air to flow through the evaporator coil and melt the ice. When the ice
has melted, the evaporator temperature will rise and the thermostat will restart the compressor.
7.9 Electric Ventilation Damper
The electric ventilation damper is controlled by the ventilation timer. The damper will open when the ventilation timer is activated
to allow fresh air into the structure through the 6” diameter fresh air inlet duct. The electric ventilation damper will remain closed
when the ventilation timer is not activated to prevent over-ventilating the structure when the unit is dehumidifying or recirculating
the indoor air.
The electric ventilation timer operates on 24 VAC from the control circuit. DO NOT connect high voltage to the damper motor
or damage to the motor may result. DO NOT force the blade of the damper by hand or damage to the damper motor may result.
The damper opens in one direction only. The damper rotates very slowly, allow sucient time for the damper to cycle. The damper
will take approximately 1 minute to cycle from closed to open or from open to closed.
If the electric ventilation damper fails to operate:
1. Check that the wiring is correct and that voltage is present at the damper motor.
2. Check for any obstruction inside the damper. If the electric ventilation damper fails to operate after performing these checks, it
must be replaced.

7.10 Condensate Pump Kit
An optional condensate pump kit is available from the factory for use with the Quest Dual Dehumidifier. Condensate is
automatically pumped to a remote location when the water level in the pump's reservoir rises to close the float switch.
The pump also contains a safety float switch. The white leads from this switch extend from beneath the pump cover. This switch
should be installed in series with the field wire that connects the blue (#5) lead from the Quest Dual Dehumidifier to the blue (#5)
lead on the control panel.
If the pump fails, this switch opens the compressor control circuit and stops water production before the reservoir overflows. The
Quest Dual Dehumidifier will continue to ventilate or circulate air as normal, but will not dehumidify until this switch closes.
