Place the dehumidier at the center of the long wall
with the inlet lter facing the board pile. Connect an
appropriate length drain hose. The dehumidier can
be elevated any reasonable amount to help the drain
gravity feed. The drain must have a trap. If the drain
hose extends outside (not to a oor drain in the kiln)
the wall opening should be sealed around the hose.
Place the controller at a convenient point outside the
chamber near the dehumidier. Remove the cover.
Be sure controller is in a space that will not reach
temperatures below freezing. A light bulb located
near the controller and left on during the cold
weather is usually a sucient way to keep it above
freezing.
Drill 2 holes in the kiln wall to allow control cables
and the sensor wire (coiled up inside the controller)
to be carefully routed into the chamber. Separate the
sensors from the power.
Mount the temperature sensor 6 to 12 inches from
the wall 4 feet o the oor and 3 feet from kiln unit,
for an accurate reading.
Do not place the sensor near the blower outlet.
Remove the right side panel of the dehumidier
gaining access to the compressor and terminal
strip. Securely connect the control cable to the
dehumidier. Note that each wire is marked with
the terminal number to which it is to be connected.
Carefully connect each wire to the similarly marked
terminal. Ground wire is yellow with a green stripe.
Do not stretch or overstress the cable. Seal the
hole in the kiln wall after the system check out is
successfully concluded.
Install and caulk the vents so that they are on
opposite sides of the fans and at opposite ends of
the kiln. The vents can be mounted to open to the
inside or the outside. It is usually more convenient if
it opens to the outside.
With the system switch in OFF position, plug in
the power cable (the special receptacle for the
KD150 is supplied by Wood-Mizer).
Install the fans in locations over the lumber as
suggested on the chamber drawings.
The unit is now ready for the check out procedure.
