Installation **
**
Location:
In order to efficiently control humidity levels, the area in which the
dehumidifier is to be operated must be free of water intrusion or excessive
fresh (outside) air infiltration.
The Quest 335 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:
- Place the Quest 335 Dehumidifier on supports that raise the base of the unit 6” above the secondary drain pan so a P-trap can be installed. See Section 4.3.
- The Quest 335 Dehumidifier should not hang from sides or ends. See section 4.4
- If installing on ground, use included plugs to cover hanging locations on top of the machine.
- If hanging machine in air, use included plugs to cover holes in base pan for leveling feet.
Electrical Requirements:
Ensure the dehumidifier is connected to the appropriate power supply
depending on the unit’s voltage rating (208/230V or 277V). The Quest 335
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 hygrostat in a
central area of the structure where it will sense the relative humidity of the
structure accurately. Do not install the hygrostat 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 335 Dehumidifier and the hygrostat. Be sure to safely route the control
wiring to prevent damage during installation. Be careful not to cross the
wires when connecting the Quest 335 Dehumidifier and the remote hygrostat. The
remote controls of the Quest 335 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 335 Dehumidifier before making the
control connections.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Quest 335 from a power source when working
with the high voltage control wires.
- For proper drainage, the unit must be mounted so the drain outlet is at least 6.75” above the floor drain, and must be fully supported under the base.
Condensate Water Removal:
Make sure to address any water intrusion or air infiltration problems
before installing the Quest 335 Dehumidifier. Note any existing issues in
calculations. Condensate drains by gravity via the drain port. Use 3/4” male
NPT PVC pipe. An optional condensate pump kit may be installed if a lift is
required to dispose of the condensate. Optional parts list for information on
the kit.

To Turn Unit On: Press the power button
On Mode: Display is on and shows the set point (Initial set point: 55%
RH)
To Change Set Point:
- Press the up or down arrow once, the 2-digit display will begin to blink.
- Adjust to desired RH. Each push of the button will change the SP 1% RH.
- After 6 seconds without a button being pushed the number showing will become the new SP
- DEFROST LIGHT
- The light over the snowflake will light up when defrost is occurring (ice is detected on coils). The fan will be on, and the compressor will be off during defrost.
- FILTER RESET
- Filter reset button will light up after the fan has been running for 2,000 hours, or if the pressure switch detects excessive pressure build-up indicating that the filter must be changed.
- After changing the filter, press and hold the filter reset button to reset the 2,000-hour timer. Light flashes while button is held.
- DARK MODE
- Press the Dark Mode button to activate Dark Mode.
- Once Dark Mode is activated, lights will remain on for 20 seconds before the unit’s hygrostat will go dark. Dark Mode light will flash for 3 seconds before unit goes dark.
- Unit will temporarily leave dark mode when any button is pushed and will go dark 20 seconds after the last button is pushed.
- To turn off Dark Mode, press the Dark Mode button and ensure light above Dark Mode button is off.
- This mode is for applications where the user would like the unit to operate without emitting any light.
- FAN
Pressing the Fan button alternates the unit between 3 fan speeds:
- (High): Increased fan speed to be used exclusively in ducted applications. Deactivates filter-life compensation mode.
- (Auto): Default fan speed. Filter-life compensation mode active.
- (Low): Decreased fan speed that lowers the volume and performance of the unit. Deactivates filter-life compensation mode.
Filter-life compensation mode measures the static pressure increase due to the filter particulate build-up and increases fan speed to maintain optimum airflow and performance.
Changing Max Fan Speed
- Hold the FAN button for 3 seconds, the 2-digit display will begin to flash.
- Once the display is flashing, the maximum fan speed can be adjusted 1% at at time (in the range of 20- 99%).
- The new maximum fan speed can be locked by not pressing any buttons for 6 seconds or by pressing the FAN button.
- This will disable filter life compensation functionality.
- TERMINAL CONTROL
- When the Terminal Control button is pressed, the display will show “tc”.
- The Terminal Control button is used to activate the “DEHUM” input on the terminal block. (see section 5.1B)
- This must be activated when an external control is used to control RH. When Terminal Control is active, the internal RH sensor is disabled.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING! NOTE: Do not operate the unit without the filter or with a less effective filter. The heat exchange coils inside the unit could become clogged and require disassembly to clean. Filter non-compliance invalidates the product warranty.
STANDARD AIR FILTER
The Quest 335 Dehumidifier ships with a standard MERV 13 efficient pleated
fabric filter. This filter should be checked every six months. Operating the
unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity and efficiency and
may cause the compressor to cycle off and on unnecessarily on the defrost
control. To access the air filter, remove the filter access panel from the end
of the Quest 335 Dehumidifier. The filter should be readily visible and can be
removed by pulling it straight out of the Quest 335 Dehumidifier. We recommend
changing the filter at least every 6 months. For agriculture we recommend
changing the filter with every grow cycle.
IMPELLER FAN OILING
The impeller fan motor is factory lubricated for many years of normal
operation, and no further oiling is required.
SERVICE
WARNING: Servicing the Quest 335 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.
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.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The Quest 335 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 expansion device
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 compressor collects the cool
refrigerant gas and compresses it to a high pressure and temperature to repeat
the process.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Unit Test to determine problem:
- Detach any exterior control wiring by removing terminal block but jump both FLOAT terminals together.
- Reinstall terminal block into the control.
- Plug unit in to known good power outlet. 208 to 240 volts.
- Power unit on by pressing power button on top of control.
- Make sure the Terminal Control light is NOT illuminated. Press button to change.
- Press down arrow to set the unit below 20% until “on” is displayed. This will force the unit on.
- Listen for the fan to turn on almost immediately.
- Wait 1 to 2 minutes for the compressor to turn on.

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.
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.
- Unplug the power cord.
- Remove the access panel, and top panel.
- Remove the screws attaching the impeller fan support bracket to the base.
- Disconnect the impeller fan leads inside the electric box.
- Remove fan/bracket assembly by removing 3 screws from the bracket and inlet ring assembly.
- Remove the defective impeller fan from the bracket and replace with it with the new impeller fan.
- 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.
COMPRESSOR/CAPACITOR REPLACEMENT
This compressor is equipped with a run capacitor, but no start capacitor or
start relay.
CHECKING COMPRESSOR MOTOR CIRCUITS
Perform the following tests if the impeller fan runs but the compressor does
not with a call for dehumidification.
- Remove the cabinet side to gian access to the electrical components.
- Plug in the unit and turn the humidity control to ON. Check for volts from compressor black wires on compressor relay to white wire on compressor capacitor using an AC voltmeter.
- If correct voltage is present, go to next step.
- 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.
- Unplug the unit and then disconnect the connector from the side of the compressor. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between the points listed below.
- 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.
- 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.
- Compressor terminal C and compressor case: Continuity indicates a grounded motor. The compressor must be replaced.
- Disconnect the wires from the run capacitor. The capacitor is shorted and must be replaced if continuity exists between any terminal and ground.
- Using capacitor or MFD setting on meter test between both capacitor terminals. Compare reading to capacitor spec on capacitor.
- If the above test pass but the compressor does not work, the compressor has an internal mechanical defect and must be replaced.
REPLACING A BURNT 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 effective only if the system is monitored after
replacing the compressor to insure that the clean up was complete.
- This procedure assumes that the previously listed compressor motor circuit tests revealed a shorted or open winding.
- Remove and properly dispose of the system charge. DO NOT vent the refrigerant or allow it to contact your eyes or skin.
- Remove the burned out compressor. Use rubber gloves if there is any possibility of contacting the oil or sludge.
- 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.
- Correct the system fault that caused the burn out. Consult the factory for advice.
- 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.
- Evacuate the system with a good vacuum pump and accurate vacuum gauge. Leave the pump on the system for at least an hour.
- 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.
REPLACING A COMPRESSOR, NON BURN 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.
Remote Controls:
Remote control options are available for convenient operation of the
dehumidifier. The Quest 335 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 hygrostat you purchased. If the
Quest 335 Dehumidifier fails to operate as desired, always check the settings
of the controls to ensure that they are correct. Check that the controls are
receiving 24VAC from the Quest 335 Dehumidifier. Check the connections between
the Quest 335 Dehumidifier, the hygrostat, and the field control wiring.
Humidity Control:
The dehumidifier features a humidity control option for precise humidity
level adjustment. The humidity control is an adjustable switch that closes
when the relative humidity of the air in which it is located rises to the set
point. It opens when the RH drops 4 to 6% below the set point. If the Quest
335 Dehumidifier does not run, try turning the humidity control Down using
arrow on control pad. If it then runs, the humidity control is out of
calibration or the RH is below setpoint.
DEFROST SYSTEM
The Quest 335 Dehumidifier is equipped with an automatic defrost mechanism. If
the Quest 335 Dehumidifier operates in conditions that develop frost on the
evaporator, it will sense the frost build-up and automatically defrost the
evaporator. The Quest 335 Dehumidifier may not appear to be operating
correctly during the defrost sequence, but once the defrost sequence is
completed, the Quest 335 Dehumidifier will resume dehumidifying. The
evaporator temperature sensor is installed into the center of the evaporator
coil. It will automatically shut the compressor off if the 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
control will restart the compressor.
CONDENSATE PUMP KIT
An optional condensate pump kit is available from the factory for use with the
Quest 335 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. These leads should be extended
to the FLOAT terminals on the terminal block and the factory float jumper
removed. If the pump fails, the safety switch opens causing the compressor to
stop and water production to cease before the reservoir overflows. E4 will be
displayed on the control panel. The Quest 335 Dehumidifier will not dehumidify
until this switch closes.
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.

replace the defective part(s), provided that all labor and transportation
charges for the part(s) shall be borne by the end-user.
END-USER RESPONSIBILITIES: Warranty service must be performed by a
Servicer authorized by Therma-Stor LLC. If the end-user is unable to locate or
obtain warranty service from an authorized Servicer, he should call Therma-
Stor LLC at the above number and ask for the Therma-Stor LLC Service

service will be performed during normal working hours.
The End-user must present proof of purchase (lease) upon request, by use of
the warranty card or other reasonable and reliable means. The end-user is
responsible for normal care. This warranty does not cover any defect,
malfunction, etc. resulting from misuse, abuse, lack of normal care,
corrosion, freezing, tampering, modification, unauthorized or improper repair
or installation, accident, acts of nature or any other cause beyond Therma-
Stor LLC’s reasonable control.
LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS: If any Quest 335 Dehumidifier part is
repaired or replaced, the new part shall be warranted for only the remainder
of the original warranty period applicable thereto (but all warranty periods
will be extended by the period of time, if any, that the Quest 335
Dehumidifier is out of service while awaiting covered warranty service).
UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE WRITTEN WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO THE QUEST
DEHUMIDIFIER OR ANY PART THEREOF, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW,
INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL ALSO
EXPIRE. ALL WARRANTIES MADE BY THERMA-STOR LLC ARE SET FORTH HEREIN, AND NO
CLAIM MAY BE MADE AGAINST THERMA-STOR LLC BASED ON ANY ORAL WARRANTY. IN NO
EVENT SHALL THERMA-STOR LLC, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION, USE,
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF ANY QUEST DEHUMIDIFIER OR PART THEREOF BE LIABLE
UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WATER DAMAGE (THE END-USER SHOULD TAKE
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST SAME), LOST PROFITS, DELAY, OR LOSS OF USE OR DAMAGE TO
ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,
and some do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so one or both of these limitation may not apply to
you.
