Use and Operation

WARNING

FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Unit must be electrically grounded.

•Insert 3- prong plug on power cord directly into matching grounded receptacle.

•Do not use adaptor

Keep wiring and motor dry.

•Do not operate in standing water

•Do not operate in rain or snow.

•If electrical components become wet, allow them to dry before using.

Read and understand manual before use.

INTRODUCTION

DrizAir dehumidifiers reduce humidity in enclosed structural environments by removing water vapor from the air. With proper use, DrizAir dehumidifiers can help dry wet materials like carpet, carpet pad, floors, walls, building con tents and more. Using DrizAir dehumidifiers may also prevent secondary damage caused by high humidity.

For best results, we recommend you use DrizAir dehumidifiers with Dri-Eaz TurboDryer airmovers. The airmovers speed evaporation by lifting moisture into the air.

HOW THE DRIZAIR DEHUMIDIFER WORKS

DrizAir refrigerant dehumidifiers operate by pulling moist air in across a very cold evaporator core. The moisture condenses (freezes) on the coil. At inter vals, the machine will go into defrost mode, warming the frost back to water. The water collects in a tray and leaves the unit through a drain hose or pump.

IMPORTANT:

See how to use the PURGE function under “How to use the touchpad controller” on page 3.

SETTING UP A DRYING AREA

Use in an enclosed space

You should operate DrizAir dehumidifiers in an enclosed area, as this creates a drying chamber. Close all doors, windows or areas that open to the outside to maximize the unit’s water removal efficiency. Also, keep traffic though the drying chamber to a minimum.

How to position the DrizAir dehumidifier

•

and contents

• Keep it away from anything that could prevent airflow into and out of the unit.

Use a 115V, 3-prong grounded connection

Do not use with an adapter

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

Do not operate DrizAir dehumidifiers at temperatures above 90°F (32°C). This can cause damage to both the machine and the structure’s contents. Over-dried materials (especially wood products) may crack, shrivel, or discolor. Use of a dehumidifier in high-heat conditions will reduce its efficiency and the life of the machine.

Managing temperature rise

DrizAir dehumidifiers warm the air as they remove moisture. Optimal drying temperatures range from 68-85°F (20-29°C).

the dehumidifier.

If the temperature rises to unsafe levels (over 90°F/32°C) you can use the structure’s HVAC (air conditioning) system to bring the temperature down. Just set it to 80°F (27°C), and continue to operate the dehumidifier. If there’s no HVAC system, call a Dri-Eaz at 888-867-3235, and a Technical Specialist help you find an appropriate solution.

OPERATING YOUR DRIZAIR DEHUMIDIFIER

DrizAir 2000

DrizAir 2400

CAUTION

Dust can cause unit to overheat and shut down.

Do not operate unit when dust or airborne particles are present, such as during sanding or spray-painting.

Inspect and clean coils frequently

Read and understand manual before use.

Setup

Place dehumidifier upright. If you transport a DrizAir dehumidifier in a hori-

it on. This is necessary because when the machine is horizontal, the oil from the compressor flows into the refrigerant coils reducing the ability of the dehumidifier to function.

Locate drainage system The Evolution LGR pump connects to a plastic drainage hose. On the DrizAir 1200 and 2000, you’ll find the hose wrapped around the air outlet located on the back of the unit. On the 2400, it’s just below the outlet (see diagrams to left). Unwrap the entire hose (see caution below) and place the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket even outside; anywhere that water can drain out safely. If you use a bucket or contained receptacle for water collection, check it regularly.

CAUTION

Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do not leave any of portion of the hose coiled on the unit. Also check for kinks, or obstructions that would restrict the flow of water. Failure to do so may cause a water backup in the pump resulting in leakage.

Plug in electrical cord Locate the electrical cord either on the top or back of the unit. The entire line of DrizAir dehumidifiers runs on a 115-volt (15 amp) grounded outlet, which is standard in most homes. For the DrizAir 1200, 2000 and 2400, press the “on” button on the touchpad.

IIlustration of Touchpad

HOW TO USE THE TOUCHPAD CONTROL KEYS

The Touchpad on DrizAir dehumidifiers has one display and four keys. The normal display messages are:

DEHUMIDIFIER OFF CMPRSR DELAY DEHUMIDIFIER ON PUMP PURGING TOTAL HRS DEFROST ON JOB HRS GET SERVICE ERO1

When you first plug in the unit, the touchpad display will cycle continuously through three messages: DEHUMIDIFER OFF, TOTAL HOURS, and JOB HOURS.

ON-OFF. Press the ON-OFF key to turn the unit on or off. When turning the machine on, usually the display reads CMPRSR DELAY and performs a numeral count down from a maximum of 60 seconds to 0. The compressor delay gives the machine time to warm up (when needed). If you don’t see a compressor delay countdown, the machine is ready to go. Once the unit completes the CMPRSR DELAY, the display reads DEHUMIDIFIER ON, and continues to cycle between TOTAL HOURS, JOB HOURS and DEHUMIDIFIER ON.

Press the ON-OFF key again to turn the unit off. The display will read DEHUMIDIFIER OFF.

DISPLAY. Press the DISPLAY key to stop the display at DEHUMIDIFER ON or OFF, TOTAL HOURS, or JOB HOURS as it cycles. Press DISPLAY again to re-start the display cycle.

How to change the language display

CAUTION

While in the change-language mode, pressing other keys can change the programming of the machine. Do NOT press other keys you’re not instructed to press.

Use the DISPLAY key to change the display language. Follow these steps:

1. Start with the unit unplugged.

2. While holding down the DISPLAY key, plug the unit in. The display reads ENGLISH.

3. To change to FRANCAIS, DEUTSCH, or ESPANOL, press the DISPLAY key or the CLEAR key.

4. When the desired language is shown in the display, unplug the unit, and the language is set.

CLEAR. Press the CLEAR key to reset the JOB HOURS:

HOURS, OR TOTAL HOURS, press the DISPLAY key when JOB HOURS appears on the screen. That will make the display read JOB HOURS steadily.

2. Then press the CLEAR key to re-set the numerals to

00000.

3. Press DISPLAY again to re-start the display cycle.

NOTE: the TOTAL HOURS reading cannot be re-set.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Unplug unit before performing any maintenance.

Never use a water hose or pressure washer to clean coils; water could enter the electrical compartment causing a shock hazard.

Follow cleaning instructions in manual.

PURGE. Press the PURGE key to empty water from the pump reservoir. During normal operation, the pump purges automatically every six minutes, or whenever the reservoir is full. The display will read PUMP PURGING with a numeral countdown.

To purge the pump manually:

1) Turn the power off using the OFF key, and let the unit sit plugged in for about 10 minutes. This allows water to drip from the coils.

2) Press PURGE to remove residual water.

Other displays

Defrost cycle

During normal operation, the temperature sensor detects frost forming on the coils, causing a defrost cycle to start. The display will read DEFROST ON. Dehumidification stops during the defrost cycle. When the unit completes the cycle, the display returns to DEHUMIDIFIER ON.

Error messages

When the display menu shows the error message "GET SERVICE," followed by "ER01" or another numeral, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the unit and then plug it back in. This may re-set the electronics.

2. If that does not fix the problem, try the solution (if one is listed) in the “Error Message Table” to the left.
