UNPACKING

Carefully remove the CD100 dehumidifier unit from its transit box and visually
check for signs of transit damage. If there is evidence of damage DO NOT
attempt to operate the unit, call your supplier for advice. Do not discard the
packing; it will be useful when transporting the dehumidifier unit in the future.

INTRODUCTION

Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air that is circulating through the unit.
The resulting reduction of relative humidity helps prevent rust, rot, mould,
mildew and condensation within the room, shelter or other enclosed spaces
where the dehumidifier is used.
A dehumidifier consists of a motor-compressor unit, a refrigerant condenser,
an air circulating fan, a refrigerated evaporator, a means for collecting and
disposing of the condensed moisture and a cabinet to house these
components.
The fan draws the moist room air through the cold evaporator coil which cools
the air below its dew point. Moisture forms on the evaporator and is collected
in the condensate tray then lead away to a permanent drain. The cooled air
then passes through the hot condenser, where it is re-heated with the same
energy removed during the cooling phase and the addition heat derived from
the compressor. The air is therefore discharged into the room at a slightly
higher temperature but at a lower relative humidity than that at which it
entered the unit. Continuous circulation of room air through the dehumidifier
gradually reduces the relative humidity of the room.
The CD100 dehumidifier is a rugged reliable drying unit designed to operate
effectively over a broad range of temperature and humidity conditions. A
powerful and reliable active hot gas defrost system, controlled by an
electronic timer, guarantees positive de-icing, thereby optimizing at low
temperatures.
The unit incorporates a welded steel chassis and is finished in vinyl coated
steel covers for resilience to damage caused by rough handling.

INSTALLATION

POSITIONING:

Position the dehumidifier unit in the center of the room to be conditioned if at
all possible. However if a damp patch is particularly apparent the outlet grille
should be pointed towards it.

NOTE: Both inlet grille and outlet grille of the dehumidifier unit must have
clear space around them and not be obstructed in anyway.

WIRING:

Connect the power cord of the dehumidifier to a suitable single phase, fused
power supply. As follows:-

Brown Live

Blue Neutral

Green/Yellow Earth (ground)

ALARM WIRING:

Plug L (Normally Open Contacts)

Plug N (Close on Humidity Rise)

Plug E (Earth)

DRAINAGE:

Connect a 15mm inside diameter hose to the condensate outlet pipe
(positioned centrally, beneath the air inlet grille). Secure the hose using a
worm drive clip. The hose should at no point be raised higher than the outlet
pipe. Failure to observe this requirement will result in flooding of the
dehumidifier unit. Ensure the draintube heater tape is inserted the full length
of the drain tube.

OPTIONAL:

The CD100 may also be fitted with a water pump capable of discharging the
condensate a vertical height of 30ft. The water can, therefore, be discharged
into a drain some distance away.

OPERATION

The operation of the dehumidifier is to remove moisture from the air by having
it condense on the cool tubes of the evaporator coil. The air then passes over
the hot condenser and returns to the conditioned space slightly warmer and at
reduced moisture content. To concentrate drying all doors and windows
should be kept closed.

AIR MOVING SYSTEM:

Air is drawn in through the inlet grille at the rear of the dehumidifier (below the
handle) and over the two heat exchanges (evaporator/condenser coils) under
the influence of the axial fan, which is driven by the motor. The operation of
the fan motor is to run continuously whenever power is supplied to the
dehumidifier. The fan motor used in the dehumidifier unit is induction
protected i.e. the motor is able to take stalled current without burning out the
motor windings.

TEST FOR CORRECT OPERATION:

DO NOT RUN THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE COVERS IN PLACE FOR ANY

LONGER THAN NECESSARY. DO NOT REMOVE / REPLACE THE

COVERS WITH THE POWER ON

Remove the cover by releasing the retaining bolts and follow the test
procedure laid out below.

1. Set the adjustment humidistat to maximum

2. Switch the machine to the on position; this will result in the compressor
starting to run and the fan blade to starting to rotate.

3. When the compressor has been running for twenty minutes the coils
located above the drain tray will be evenly coated in frost. (If the
temperature is above 25ºC the coils will be covered in water).

4. After the machine has been running for approximately fifty minutes the
unit will automatically enter defrost. The defrost cycle lasts for
approximately three minutes; this will result in the frost on the coils
meeting and dripping into the drainage tray.

5. After the defrost cycle has finished the machine will return to normal
operation.

6. Ensure the condensate drains away from the machine.
