The Phoenix DryMAX XL Pro is the solution to the one common issue with horizontal dehumidifiers: the difficulty of moving them up and down stairs. The unit features a unique two-position handle that can be adjusted to a 42” position for flat ground maneuvering, and a 50” position to make it even easier to transport the unit up and down stairs than upright dehumidifiers. Additionally, the handle can be used like a dolly. Our AirMAX, AirMAX BLE, and Focus II air movers can be securely transported with the DryMAX XL Pro as they interlock with the top of the unit.

This dehumidifier is our most advanced model, equipped with onboard USB power for our DryPHONE, enabling remote monitoring. You can add two AA batteries to the display board to establish a connection to the DryLINK Asset Manager, even when the unit is unplugged. This eliminates the need to purchase an asset tracking beacon. Moreover, it logs the inlet and outlet temperature and relative humidity readings 96 times per day and can store 30 days’ worth of reading

Operation

Place dehumidifier inside structure, place condensate hose into a drain, or a very large container, and turn on. To decrease drying times, make sure all windows and doors are closed to the outside and seal off the wet area from any unaffected areas.

Transporting
The Phoenix DryMAX XL Pro features a high-impact structural foam housing which protects the unit. It is recommended the units are properly secured for transport. The Phoenix DryMAX XL Pro must always be on its base when transported by vehicle. To extend handle to the 42” and 50” handle position, use the ‘push’ button (see photo 3.1 on page 2).

Electrical Requirements
The Phoenix DryMAX XL Pro plugs into a common grounded outlet on a 15 amp circuit. It draws 7.4 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.

Control Panel
When presented with Control Panel Selection Boxes in the control panel the black box with the white lettering will be the active selection.
Control Panel Key
Light Bar
Green Pulsing = The system is running correctly but the compressor is off.
Green = The system is running normally and the compressor is on.
Blue = The system is running normally but the unit is in defrost.
Red = Unit error, press ‘NEXT’ for more info.

Startup

When the unit is plugged in you will see the Phoenix logo followed by the Standby Screen

Plugged In – Standby Mode

When plugged in but without pushing the power button, the display will communicate to the user that the machine is in Standby mode and ready to be powered on. In Standby Mode, the display will also show the current job and life hours on the fourth line.

Light Bar = Off
The Powering Up screen allows the compressor time to acclimate before starting up

Light Bar = Green

Power Button
When the dehumidifier is plugged in it will enter stand-by mode

Press the button to turn the dehumidifier on. The unit will begin the Powering Up sequence and you will see this screen:
Press and hold the Power button to turn the dehumidifier off. The dehumidifier will go through a powering-down cycle. The default shut-down time is three minutes plus 20 seconds for a final purge. The shutdown time can be changed be scrolling through the menu to this screen.

IMPORTANT

  • Unplugging the unit without running the shutdown sequence will allow water to remain in the unit after use.
  • Tilting the unit more than 70 degrees on the handle side or more than 20 degrees on the non-handle side may result in water spillage.
  • Tilting the unit without running the final purge may result in water spillage

PURGE Button
During normal operation the pump automatically cycles when the reservoir is full

Press the button to remove condensate manually from the reservoir.
Dashboard
Dashboard while in Humidistat Mode When the machine is dehumidifying the unit will display:

  • Inlet = Temperature and RH/Grains
  • Outlet = Temperature and RH/Grains
  • Hours = Job hours and Life hours
  • Grain Depression/Gram Depression = Grains/Grams per pound value will automatically be displayed with the RH SetPoint

Light Bar = On
Color = Green
Navigation
Press the NEXT key to advance to the next screen or to enter a value
Press the SET key to scroll through available values.
The White Box indicates the selected choice when two boxes are presented.
Press the Purge key to return to the dashboard

Purging

Press the PURGE button to purge the machine. The display will communicate to the user that the machine is purging on the fourth line of the dashboard and show a 20 second countdown timer. This will momentarily replace grain depression until the machine has finished purging

The display will also communicate to the user that the machine is auto purging in the fourth line of the dashboard and show a 20 second countdown timer.

Condensate Removal
The Phoenix DryMAX XL Pro is equipped with an internal condensate pump to remove the water that is condensed during dehumidification. This allows the condensate to be pumped up to 20 feet with the attached hose. If the condensate must be pumped more than 20 feet above the unit, a second pump must be added to relay the condensate. The condensate pump automatically purges when the reservoir is full. Use the PURGE button to manually remove condensation

For help with the “Reservoir full: check float, pump, and hose” error see section 5.3 Troubleshooting

Defrosting

The display will communicate to the user that the machine is defrosting on the fourth line of the dashboard. This will momentarily replace grain depression until the machine has finished defrosting.
Light Bar = On
Color = Blu

Defrost Cycle
If the low side refrigerant temperature drops due to excessive frost formation on the evaporator coil and below the temperature set point, the thermistor activates the PLC and Status Light Indicator. The compressor is cycled off and on by the thermistor temperature measurement. The air mover will continue to run, increase speed to normal, and cause air to flow through the evaporator coil and melt the ice when 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 temperature set point.

Color Blue = On

Shut Down Sequence/Power Down time

Press the Set button to adjust the Power Down Time in one minute increments ranging from 3 – 20 minutes.
The Power Down Time allows the blower to run to remove water from the coil and to allow the evaporator to acclimate to the ambient conditions. At the end of the shutdown time the unit will automatically purge to remove any remaining water.
The proper shutdown is dependent on conditions. Increasing your shutdown time will help ensure there is no residual water in the unit.

IMPORTANT

  • Unplugging the unit without running the shutdown sequence will allow water to remain in the unit after use.
  • Tilting the unit more than 70 degrees on the handle side or more than 20 degrees on the non-handle side may result in water spillage.
  • Tilting the unit without running the final purge may result in water spillage.
