Heat Controller, Inc. Portable Dehumidier with R-410A BHD-G Service Manual

1. PREFACE

This SERVICE MANUAL provides various servicing information for the unit, including the mechanical and electrical

parts, etc. This dehumidier was manufactured and assembled under a strict quality control system.

The refrigerant is charged at the factory. Be sure to read the safety precautions prior to servicing the unit.

1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. When servicing the unit, set the POWER SWITCH to OFF and UNPLUG the POWER CORD.

2. Inspect the service cord for damage or wear.

If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.

3. After servicing the unit, conduct an insulation resistance test to protect the user from being exposed to

electrical shock hazards.

1.2 INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST

1. Unplug the power cord and connect a jumper lead between the two (2) live test pins.

2. The grounding conductor (yellow/green) should be open.

3. Measure the resistance value with an ohm meter between the jumped lead and each exposed metallic part on the unit at all the positions (except OFF) on the ROTARY SWITCH or POWER SWITCH.

4. The value should be over 1MΩ.

1.3 UNIT FEATURES

• Auto-defrosting.

• Suitable for low-temperature and high-humidity weather.

• Water-full alarm and auto shutdown functions.

• Powerful dehumidication in wide temperature range between 41°F-90°F (5°C~32°C)

• LED display.

• Humidity display and setting.

• Self diagnose and defect display

1.4 CONTROL LOCATIONS

Control pads:

When you push the button to change operation modes, the unit will make a beep sound to indicate that it is changing modes.

1. POWER

Press to turn the dehumidier on and off.

2. CHECK FILTER

The check lter feature is a reminder to clean the Air Filter for more efcient operation. The LED light will illuminate after 250 hours of operation. To reset after cleaning the lter, press CHECK FILTER and the light

will go off.

3. Humidity Set Control

The humidity level can be set within a range of 35%RH (Relative Humidity) to 85%RH (Relative Humidity) in 5%

increments. For drier air, press the button and set to a lower percent value(%). When the value displays 35%,press the button again will activate the continuous dehumidifying operation. For damper air, press the button

and set a higher percent value(%).

TIMER Set Control

Use the (+) or (-) buttons to set the Auto start and Auto stop time from 0.0 to 24 hours.

4. Fan speed

Control the fan speed. By pressing either High or Normal fan speed. Set the fan control to High for maximum moisture removal. When the humidity has been reduced and quieter operation is preferred, set the fan control to Normal.

5. TIMER

Press to initiate the Auto start and Auto stop feature, in conjuction with the and keys.

6. Display

Shows the set % humidity level from 35% to 85% or auto start/stop time (0~24 hours) while setting, then shows the actual (+5% accuracy) room % humidity level in a range of 30%RH (Relative Humidity) to 90%RH(Relative humidity).

Error Codes:

AS- Humidity sensor error--Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service. ES- Temperature sensor error-- Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service. P1- Unit is defrosting-- Allow the unit time to automatically defrost. The error will clear after the unit self defrosts. P2- Bucket is full-- Empty the bucket and replace in the right position. CO- Continuous dehumidifying mode is selected.

3. Product Operation

8in (20cm) or more

3.1 OPERATING CONDITIONS:

This unit is designed to operate in an environment between 41°F-90°F (5°C and 35°C). If the unit has been switched off and needs to be switched on again quickly, allow approximately three minutes for

the compressor to start up and for dehumidifaction to resume.

Do not connect the dehumidier to a multiple socket outlet, which is also being used for other electrical appliances. Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet. Plug the unit into a 115V~60Hz electrical socket-outlet with a ground connection.

Make sure the Water Tank is correctly inserted otherwise the unit will not operate properly.

3.2 TURNING THE UNIT “ON” OR “OFF”

3.2.1 Plug the cord to the proper power recepticable. The unit’s program will run a self-check, if it is normal, the

power indicator ashes (at 0.5Hz). Press Power button now, the unit will start operating under DEHUMIDIFYING mode with 60% setting humidity. Press the Humidity (+) or (-) button will change humidity setting.

3.2.2 Press Continuous button to start the continous dehumidication mode. During this mode, the Humidity (+) or (-) button are disabled.

3.2.3 Press the Power button to turn off the unit.(You do not need to unplug the power cord except when the unit will not be in use for a long period of time.)

3.3 OPERATION WITH WATER TANK

Water will drain into the tank. When the tank is full, the unit stops operating, the water FULL indicator light will ash. DO NOT remove the water tank while the machine is still working wait for the unit to completely stop to remove the

bucket.

If not, some water may drip.

To empty the water tank, remove the tank as shown, empty the water and replace the tank back in the unit. Ensure

components of water tank are correctly positioned. The unit will re-start when the water tank is restored to its correct position.

3.4 OPERATION WITH CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

On the rear of the unit, remove the rubber plug carefully. Remove the water tank rst, then push the hose onto the connector located inside of the hole. The hose should go down smoothly without bends or kinks. Place the end of the hose into a suitable drainage location for condensate removal.

3.5 MAINTENANCE

3.5.1 Precaution

Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning.

Do not use harsh detergents, thinners or other chemical agents to clean the unit as this may damage the unit.

Do not wash the unit directly under a tap or hose. The electrical components inside may be damaged and the unit become unsafe as a result.

3.5.2 Air lter

Clean the air lter at least once every two weeks to prevent impaired performance of the unit. Pull the air lter out and Wash the air lter with clean water, and then carefully dry (see gure below).

3.5.3 Unit enclosure

Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use water as this may cause an electrical fault or shock hazard.

3.5.4 Water tank

Wash the tank using warm water 104°F (about 40°C) with neutral detergent. Rinse and allow

to air dry. Replace tank when dry.
