Installation tips

Place the NXT85 on a flat, stable surface with a vapor barrier if installing directly in a crawl space.
Allow 12 inches of clearance on all sides for proper airflow and service access.
Position the unit so air flows freely across the space — ideally parallel to floor joists or open pathways.
Connect the drain hose to a suitable drain or condensate pump. Ensure the hose runs downhill with no dips.
Avoid routing air through tight turns or long duct runs if installing with optional ducting.
Plug the unit into a dedicated, grounded outlet. Avoid extension cords.
For easier monitoring, mount an optional remote control in a convenient location.
