INTRODUCTION

This user manual tells you how to use the Orion dehumidifier. Please read it
thoroughly before operating the dehumidifier. If you have any questions about
the unit please contact our Customer Services Department at the address
shown at the back of the section or phone [phone].
Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air circulating through it.
Continuous operation reduces the relative humidity the air and this helps
prevent rust, rot, mould, mildew and condensation.
The Orion dehumidifier consists of an air to air heat exchange, motor,
compressor unit, a refrigerant condenser and air circulating fan, a refrigerated
surface, a means for collecting and disposing of the condensed moisture and
a cabinet to house these components.

GENERAL

The Orion dehumidifier must only be stored and transported in the vertical
position. To operate, stand the unit on level ground, and connect power
supply and it is ready for operation.
When a generator is used to supply the power, it is essential to check the
minimum kva required in the technical section within this manual. The
generator must be started before connection is made to the dehumidifier.

OPERATION

The fan draws the moist air through the refrigerated surfaces which cools it
below its dew point, removing moisture which is collected and lead away. The
cool air then passes over the hot condenser, where it is repeated. With the
addition of other radiated heat the air is discharged into the room at a higher
temperature but a lower relative humidity than when it entered the unit.
Continuous circulation of the room air through the dehumidifier unit gradually
reduces the relative humidity in the room.
The Orion dehumidifier is a robust, compact unit designed to control the
humidity in the enclosed space in which it is placed.
The unit is thermally protected and will switch off for a period if maximum
operating temperature of 40ºC is exceeded.
