The AlorAir Sentinel HD55S is an Energy Star certified crawl space and basement dehumidifier. It removes 55 pints of water a day at AHAM conditions (80°F, 60% RH) and up to 120 pints a day at saturation (90°F, 90% RH), for spaces up to 1,300ft², at 2.4 L/kWh on a 4.1 A draw.
Built for permanent installs, it sits low under the joists, drains continuously by gravity and can duct dry air into a finished room through a 6" collar. A bypass-air humidity sensor and automatic defrost let the Sentinel HD55S hold a steady setpoint in a cool, damp crawl space.
Available in white or gold, and in white with WiFi control through the AlorAir-C app.
Features
Energy Star Certified
Rated at 2.4 L/kWh with a rotary compressor and a rare earth alloy tube evaporator, for lower running costs in a unit that runs for months.
130 CFM Airflow
Moves 130 CFM through the coil for 55 pints a day at AHAM and coverage up to 1,300ft².
Continuous Gravity Drainage
Water runs out through the drain connection to a floor drain or sump. Terminals A5/A6 support an external condensate pump alarm.
Digital Humidity Control
Set the humidity from 36% to 90% with the arrow keys, or run continuously. The bypass-air sensor is designed to prevent short cycling.
Auto Defrost and Memory Restart
Clears ice from the coil down to 33.8°F and resumes on its last setting after a power outage.
Ductable Supply
The standard supply adapter takes 6" flex duct, up to 6' long, to dry a finished room from the unfinished side.
Optional Wired Remote
Mount AlorAir's optional remote in the living space on its 25' CAT 5 cable; its own sensor can take over humidity control.
WiFi App Control
The white WiFi model connects to the AlorAir-C app to monitor and adjust humidity from your phone.

Setup & Placement
Seal the space first: AlorAir specifies a vapor barrier on the ground and closed vents. Raise the unit level on blocks or pavers, since gravity drainage needs height unless it feeds a sump pump beside it. If it has been tipped in transit, leave it upright for at least 2 hours before switching on.
Route the drain downhill with no loops or dips; AlorAir recommends transitioning to 3/4" PVC. Keep 36" clear in front of the discharge, and plug into a grounded 15 A circuit with a GFCI outlet.

About AlorAir
AlorAir Solutions is based in Chino, California, and supplies dehumidifiers, air movers and air scrubbers for crawl spaces, basements and water damage restoration. Its Sentinel line is built for permanent installation in the spaces under and around a home.
The HD55S shares its cabinet with the blue Sentinel HD55 and with the HDi65S, which adds a built-in pump. The HS35 and HD35P cover smaller spaces, and the HDi90, HDi100 and HDi120 handle larger crawl spaces and basements.
