I have an American dehumidifier, with a 3-pronged cord, 410 Watts, 115 V, 60HZ, 3.8A. Can I use this unit & how shall I plug it into aSwiss outlet?

Very simple-plug in transformer into wall socket (the plug has two rounded prongs -may need an adapter to fit, I'm not sure what types of wall outlets are in Switzerland). Then just plug US 3 pronged cord into the 110 V outlet on transformer. This transformer is rated for 1000 Watts, so you should be fine at only 410 Watts.

This unit only has one set of relay contacts. You would need to run two of these units. One for Humidification and one for Dehumidification.

I connected to my AC outlet and able to use. It should work with dryer outlet too but careful since its 240v

I have not. I put an outlet near where it was needed. If you need to use an extension cord, make sure it is as heavy as possible. I would suggest against this de-icer anyway. When I used this unit, it failed within a month by leaking internally and tripping the breaker. An exact replacement failed the same way in about the same amount of time.

Yes, that's exactly how it works. You can plug any regular appliance A/C cord into the unit and it will run it as long as the appliance is not too energy hungry (i.e. < 100 watts). This is a great portable unit and I highly recommend it.

There is a 2 prong 6ft. cord attached to the unit they don't recommend using a house hold extension cord . Input: 120V AC 0.8A (MAX) 60HZ. Output:DC12V 5A. RAS

We use it with a Dehumidifier and works fine; so if your Air Conditioner is rated for 15A outlets; and it can turn on when plugged in (Some units with digital controls remain off; others return to its last state). Also note some units keep the fan on after the compressor was shut off. If none of this is an issue for you; then it should work.

It does require 115V power, your normal household outlet. The "Power Pod" is the extension if you will. It has three receptacles or plugs on the pod end and the other end (three prong) plugs in to an outlet. Hope that makes sense.

Need a humidistat for the <50% outside part. Found these on Amazon:IMAGE® 110V Digital Air Humidity Control Controller WH8040 Range 1%~99% RH HM-40 Type It requires 120 vac power Household power, and its contacts can only handle 5 amps at 120 vac.If your 120 vac fan draws less than 5 amps, you could use this.or,C.A.P. HUM1 - Humidity ControllerReally nice, but expensive.

The 9940 is equipped with a standard 3-prong plug (110v USA House Current) on a 3 ft cord. It is not really feasible to directly wire this unit because a proper direct-wire connection is not possible due to the recessed hole for the cord. So if you have a direct-wire unit now, plan on installing a junction box and the outlet before you can plug this unit in. Or, just go purchase another direct-connect unit.

Correct you can wire it with the cord fromthe dehumidifier and plug it in to any 120 volt outlet

I used an old 12v 500ma wall wort from some old speakers. Similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Adapter-120V-12V-1A-5-5mm-2-1mm/dp/B00417WE2K Just cut the plug off, separate the wires, cut off the sheathing, and insert them into the + or -. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE POLARITY CORRECT! As I remember it may fry it if you put it in incorrectly. Use a multimeter to double check.

I'm was an electrician and you can safely plug a 2 prong cord into a 3 prong outlet. It will operate just fine. Hope this helps you.

First off I am no electrician however I did wire in a bath fan to mine. I would think if your dehumidifier has only a on off switch you could wire this dehumidistat to the outlet. Power going to the dehumidistat first thus controlling when the outlet would or would not have power. Once again I am not an electrician.

I use the FAD301NWQ in a 960 sq ft house with a full basement -- almost 2000 square feet all together. The dehumidifier is in the basement and always on. The unit manages to dehumidify the whole house even on the dampest days in Nebraska.

Yes, but it must be a 220 volt, 3-prong outlet. I have mine plugged into the outlet I use in very hot weather for my 220 volt window air conditioner.
