Heater Operation Safety

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be

followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using this heater. Use this heater only as described in this manual.

Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

• This machine shall be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The machine is

provided with two three-conductor cords with three-contact grounding type attachment plugs to fit the proper grounding type receptacles. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect this wire to other than the grounding pin of the attachment plug.

• Connect to properly grounded outlets only. The 120volt power source must be wired and have 15 or 20

amp circuit breaker to safely handle the rated amperage of the unit. Examine the electric outlet before connecting your E-TES SD. A Loose fitting or damaged outlet can cause the power cord to overheat. Do not use a loose fitting or damaged outlet. If necessary, have an electrician repair the outlet before connecting your E-TES SD to prevent cord or outlet damage.

• This machine is for use on two separate nominal 120-volt

15 amp circuits and the power cords have grounding plugs that resembles the plug illustrated in the sketch shown to the right. Make sure that the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this machine.

• Use no more than one 50 ft. 12 gauge extension cord

(100’ total cord length) per circuit when operating this heater. Any extension cord used with this heater must be 12 gauge or 10 gauge three-conductor cords with three-contact grounding type attachment plugs to fit the proper grounding type receptacles.

• The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting (GFCI) protected cords supplied with the E-TES SD provide additional

safety when operating the E-TES SD on wet surfaces. Keep cord connections off wet floors. Protect cord connections from damp surfaces and water sources. Always use the GFCI cords to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Test operation of GFCI before each use. (See Page 40) Do not use outdoors. Do not use in standing water.

• Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do

not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

• Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been

dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard damaged cord or heater, or return to authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

REMOTE EXHAUST CONTROLLER:

This allows you to set the temperature at which the E-TES SD will send a signal to turn on a remote exhaust fan. The Remote Exhaust Controller can be located up to 100 yards away from the E-TES SD unit and control electrical devices with a total amp load up to 15amps.

The Remote Air Temperature Sensor must be connected to the E-TES SD

to operate the Remote Exhaust Controller.

Overheating the structure may cause damage to structure or contents. Ambient room temperature

should be maintained below 105ºF during the drying process. Controlling the temperature is

important to prevent damage. If the external probes and Remote Exhaust Controller are not used,

some other type of temperature control must be used to prevent overheating the structure.

Plug the Remote Exhaust Controller into a 120VAC wall outlet and then plug your exhaust fan into the Remote Exhaust Fan Control. Turn the exhaust fan switch to the ON position. When the air temperature reaches the set point the E-TES SD will activate the Remote Exhaust Fan Control to send power to the exhaust fan to turn it on.

To adjust the set point use the UP & DOWN arrow keys to move to the REMOTE SETUP screen. Press - SELECT to enter the temperature setup screen and use the UP & DOWN arrows to set the Remote Exhaust Controller turn on temperature.

The Remote Exhaust Controller must be calibrated to work with the signal from a specific E-TES SD. To calibrate the Remote Exhaust Controller:

1. Push the reset button on the Controller as you

plug the Controller into the wall outlet. This will clear the memory of the control.

2. Turn the E-TES SD unit on and scroll to the

REMOTE SETUP screen then press select.

3. Use the UP & DOWN arrows to set the Remote

Exhaust Controller turn on temperature. This will send a signal to calibrate the Remote Exhaust Controller.

If you are using multiple E-TES SD units with multiple remotes, turn the other E-TES SD units OFF as you calibrate each remote to a specific E-TES SD to prevent signals from the other units from interrupting your calibration.

DUAL CIRCUIT INDICATOR:

The amp draw of the two circuits of the E-TES SD 120 Volt unit requires that the two power cords be plugged into separate outlets. To assist you in determining if the cords are plugged into separate circuits, The E-TES SD 120 Volt unit is now equipped with a dual circuit indicator.

With both power cords plugged into outlets, connected to the E-TES SD 120 Volt unit and the GFCI’s reset, turn E-TES SD unit power switch to the ON position. Observe Dual Circuit indicator light next to rocker switch. If green light is ON, cords are on separate circuits and you can proceed with set-up. If light is OFF both cords are on the same circuit and one cord must be moved, one cord is not supplying power. Display will light, Power & Heating lights may turn ON if Cord #1 has power even if Cord #2 is disconnected. Both cords must be connected and Dual circuit indicator light must be ON for proper heater operation.

When cords are on separate circuits and green Dual Circuit indicator light is on proceed with set-up.

Improper wiring of electrical outlets can prevent the indicator light from turning on. Using an overloaded circuit may cause the circuit breaker to blow even if both cords are on separate circuits.

An AC128 SureTest Circuit Analyzer can be used to test the outlet wiring and existing load to reduce the chances of the circuit breakers tripping during E-TES SD operation.

DATA CHARTING:

E-TES Charter Preview Screen

The E-TES SD now has the ability to measure and store data regarding the operating status of the unit and the environmental conditions during the drying process. The E-TES SD will hold up to one month of continuous operational data. The Charter data is sorted by the serial number of each unit and each job is given a file number so one USB Flash Drive can be used for multiple E-TES SD units.

Always check & set the date & time on the E-TES SD display before each job. (See Page 13) Starting a job with an incorrect date or time setting may create a corrupt job file and prevent the data from being downloaded or accessed.

Optional E-TES SD Charter Software is required to download, read and graph the data log information. The Charter software is available to download free online at tesdryingsystem.com.

The E-TES SD job data can be retrieved by inserting a removable data storage device such as a Flash Drive or Memory Stick into the USB port on front panel. After inserting the flash drive into the USB port, turn the power switch ON to log data from the E-TES SD unit. When Flash Drive stops flashing, and the Updating USB - Do Not Remove screen is no longer showing, turn the switch off and remove the Flash Drive. Flash Drive can then be connected to the USB port on your computer to download the data.

The E-TES SD Charter software will allow you to compile reports for insurance adjusters or homeowners to support your drying procedures and billing. On the E-TES Charter preview screen you can modify the graph by clicking on the keys at the bottom of the screen to add or delete different data you want displayed on your graph.

The job can be named and data is exported to Excel to create job files, graphs and reports. Multiple job files can be joined to create a new single job file for reports.

CIRCUITS

Knowledge of the proper operation of the heater and heat exchange system is required for safe operation and to keep heater and components operating properly.

1) Read and understand the Remote Probe connection procedures and Menu Navigation in SECTION #2

before proceeding with set-up and operation.

2) Place the E-TES SD unit as required for your drying situation. (SEE SET-UP SECTION #2)

3) Connect Remote Sensors as needed, place Remote

Sensors in desired locations.

4) Connect the two GFCI E-TES power cords to two

different 120volt outlets. If you have a 20amp circuit one air mover should be able to be plugged into the same circuit as one GFCI E-TES SD power cord. Check the circuit breakers and the amp draw of your air mover to determine if the circuit can handle the load. If you are unsure, plug the air movers into an outlet on a third circuit.

Page 26

• POWER – When the green POWER light is lighted it

indicates that the heater switch is in the ON position and the power has been supplied to the heater. (If the green POWER light is OFF the other lights will not light.)

• HEATING – When the second green light, the

HEATING light, is lighted it indicates that power is being

supplied to the heating elements and the unit should be heating. If cord #2 is unplugged the heating light can still turn ON. To assure proper heating, make sure the Dual Circuit indicator light is ON.

• AIR FLOW – When the first red light, the AIR FLOW

light, is lighted it indicates that there is not sufficient air flow for the heater to operate or the airflow switch is malfunctioning and power is being shutoff to the heating elements. When the AIR FLOW light is ON, the HEATING light should be OFF.

During normal heater operation, only the POWER light and HEATING light will be on.

heating element temperature, internal temperature or the snout temperature is above the safe operating range and power being shutoff to the heating elements. When the OVERTEMP light is ON, the HEATING light should be OFF.

If the green HEATING light is not lighted look for the following:

o If the two red lights are OFF, but the HEATING light does not come on, make sure you have power

to E-TES SD and the green POWER light is ON. Check your set points on your remote sensors. One or more of them may be reading beyond their set point and have shut off the power to the heating elements. Usually when this happens the display screen will flash indicating the sensor which has signaled the unit to shutdown. Reset your activation points, disconnect or replace the sensors as needed.

o If the green HEATING light is OFF and the red AIR FLOW light is ON, the air flow through the E-

TES SD unit is not enough to allow the Air Pressure sensor to be engaged. Check the air mover operation and check the circuit providing power to the air mover to assure proper air flow. The Air

Pressure Sensor readings can be checked or recalibrated as needed. See the Air Flow Set-up instructions on page 13. If the AIR FLOW light does not turn off, there could be If the air mover is

operating properly, the tubing to one of the pressure ports may be restricted or disconnected. If the tubing & barbs are clear and the tubing is in good condition, the air pressure sensor may be defective. Contact your nearest service center for advice or assistance.

o If the green HEATING light is OFF and last red light, the OVERTEMP light is ON the heating

elements, snout temperature or internal temperature may have reached the maximum temperature and the power to the heating elements has been cut-off to allow the unit to cool. Turn the heater switch OFF. Make sure the air mover is ON and remove any restriction to allow more air flow to cool the ETES SD. When cool turn the heater switch back ON. If the unit has cooled and the OVERTEMP light stays on, there could be a loose wire or one of the temperature sensors could be defective. Contact your nearest service center for advice or assistance.

11) Observe unit operation to be sure that air flow is kept at a high enough flow rate to prevent the heater from

turning ON and OFF. Remove restrictions to increase air flow as needed to maintain proper air flow rate.

12) Make sure circuit breakers are not tripping and the power supply to the air mover and E-TES SD unit will not

be interrupted.

13) When the E-TES SD unit is adjusted properly and operating normally, the unit can be left alone during

operation.

HEATER SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

1) Turn the heater switch to the OFF position.

2) Keep the air mover running for 5 minutes to cool the heating elements.

When the red AIR FLOW light is ON, the air flow is too low for proper operation and the unit has shutoff the power to the heating elements. This will cause the green HEATING light to turn OFF.

If the air flow is restored, the red AIR FLOW light will turn off, the green HEATING light will turn back on and the unit will again heat up.

When the red OVERTEMP light is ON, one or more of three over heating conditions has been reached. The internal temperature measured at the circuit board has exceeded 140°F, the temperature of the Snout Temperature sensor has reached 170ºF or the heating element box temperature has exceeded 210°F. The red OVERTEMP light comes on when the temperature measured by any one of these sensor exceeds its set point the unit will shutoff the power to the heating elements. This will also cause the green HEATING light to turn OFF.

When the temperature cools sufficiently the red OVERTEMP light will turn off, the green HEATING light will turn back on and the unit will again heat up.

In some situations when the air flow is too low and the AIRFLOW light comes ON, the E-TES will also over heat and cause the OVERTEMP light to come ON too.

When the air flow is restored the red AIR FLOW light will turn OFF and when the temperature cools sufficiently the red OVERTEMP light will turn OFF, the green HEATING light will turn back ON and the unit will again heat up.

Heater Set-up Procedures

Section

SAND BAG

FOAM FILLER

The best way to dry wet carpet, hardwood floors and walls is to implement the Reets Evaporation Method utilizing your E-TES SD unit. The following steps will explain how to this method can be applied for drying different surfaces.

Carpet Drying

Step #1 – Extraction

1. This is the key for any drying. Extract as much of the water as possible with your portable or truck

mounted equipment. A weighted extraction tool will compress the padding and carpet to remove more water. The more you remove with extraction, the faster the carpet will dry. Test extraction by squeezing the pad in your hand. Continue extracting until no more water can be squeezed out. If this level of extraction cannot be achieved, remove the pad.

Step #2 - Energy applied directly to the water

To contain the heat and apply the energy (heat) to the carpet and floor:

1. Set the snout of the E-TES SD unit under the carpet to create a

“soft float”.

2. Pull up one corner of the carpet in the wet area and set the E-

TES SD unit in the corner, on top of the pad. Larger rooms may require additional E-TES SD units. Leave 3-6 inches between the back of the E-TES SD box and the wall.

3. Pull the carpet up over the snout and secure the carpet to the E-

TES SD unit with the carpet clamp. Then pull the E-TES SD back toward the wall to pull the carpet tight. Pulling the carpet tight will eliminate or reduce carpet flapping during the float.

4. Now place the one or two 10 lb. sandbags on the carpet, along the

wall, on each side of the unit to hold down the carpet and prevent it from pulling off of the tack strip.

5. Cut the pad on each side of the E-TES SD unit and fold the pad

up on top of the carpet. This will help seal the space between the carpet and the floor on each side of the E-TES SD unit to reduce air escaping. Secure the pad to the carpet with pad pins or use Foam Filler to make a good seal. A good seal will increase the amount of heated air flowing under the carpet and improve the float.

(Temperature)

6. Insert a centrifugal air mover into the E-TES SD box. Plug the air mover cord into the wall outlet.

Connect the two GFCI power cords to the E-TES SD 120 Volt unit and plug the cords into two different 120v circuit outlets.

7. Place remote sensors for air temperature, surface temperature and moisture level as needed in desired

locations. Connect the sensors to the E-TES SD 120 Volt unit.

8. Turn on the E-TES SD unit and adjust the set points for each of the remote sensors as required for your

application.

9. Turn on the air mover.

10. Adjust the speed of the air mover, use additional sand bags to hold the carpet down in some spots and

pad pins to lift the carpet in some areas as needed to get the carpet floating and prevent flapping.

Step #3 - Airflow applied directly to the water

(Evaporation)

1. We are getting air movement with the air mover and the E-

TES SD box is providing the heat. We are heating the water to cause the evaporation, and removing the vapor from the floor by providing airflow under and through the carpet. This heated air heats the carpet, walls, baseboards, sill plates and walls up to 12”, that may also be wet, creating water vapor. As the air escapes through the carpet and along the walls opposite the ETES SD unit, it carries the water vapor away from the wet surfaces.

Step #4 - Reduction of vapor saturation levels ( evacuation

1. As we have evaporated the moisture into the air, we need to remove

it from the structure along with the excess heat. This is accomplished with the exhaust controller, an air mover, 14” lay flat duct and a duct ring. Set up the exhaust system to evacuate to the outside of the structure.

Set the Remote Activation temperature to turn on the exhaust fan using the Smart E-TES Remote Exhaust Fan Control or use a separate exhaust control unit set to keep the ambient room temperature below 105ºF. (See Page 16 of this manual or the instructions included with separate exhaust controller unit).

Wood Floor Drying

Procedure

Step #1 – Extraction

1. This is the key for any drying and especially for wood floor drying. Extract the pooled water on top of

the wood with your portable or truck mounted equipment. Use a squeegee type wand. A carpet wand may scratch the floor’s finish.

2. You can also use a mop or towels. The more you remove this way, the faster it will dry.

3. Now what about the water between or under the boards? Many times there is still a substantial amount

of “free” water that can be extracted to speed up the drying. To remove that water, you need to use a floor drying panel system. Place the panels on the floor and attach the hoses in the position the system will be running; however, before you attach your blower unit, attach it to your extraction unit. Let this run for up to 30 minutes or as long as you can. Pull up each panel and, using a towel, wipe up the excess water that will have been drawn out of the floor system. Depending on the amount of water, you may wish to repeat that step. You will be amazed at the amount of extra water you can remove this way.

4. Now reposition your panels and tape them as needed. Attach your blower and start the system.

Step #2 - Energy applied directly to the water

(Temperature)

1. Set up the wood floor drying panels and attach to the vacuum unit that was designed for this application.

2. Direct containment is the best way to apply the energy (heat) to the floor. Spread poly sheeting (4-6 mil)

over the affected floor and cut slightly larger than the area.

3. Now place the 10 lb. sandbags around the perimeter every 3 – 4 feet or as needed to hold the poly

sheeting down. You may even utilize any furniture in the room along the edges to hold the sheeting.

4. Place the snout of the E-TES SD under the sheeting and secure it with the clamp.

5. Place remote sensors for air temperature, surface temperature and moisture level as needed in desired

locations. Connect the sensors to the E-TES SD.

6. Insert a centrifugal air mover into the E-TES SD box. Connect the power cord to the E-TES SD and

plug in the E-TES SD and air mover cords.

7. Turn on the air mover and the E-TES SD unit.

8. Adjust the set points for each of the remote sensors as required for your application.

9. If you have a crawlspace to place an E-TES SD or can direct more heated airflow below the floor, it will

aid in the drying process.

10. It is important that the blower for the floor drying panel system be placed outside the direct containment

(i.e. NOT under the poly sheeting).

Step #3 - Airflow applied directly to the water

(Evaporation)

1. We are getting air movement with two pieces of equipment – the air mover / E-TES SD box and also the

floor drying panel system. We are heating the water to cause the evaporation, but the floor drying panel system is removing the vapor from the floor by providing airflow through the interspatial cavities in the floor.

2. The sandbags – rather than stapling/taping/sealing – allows the air to escape bringing with it water vapor

and heating the walls, baseboards and sill plates that may also be affected.

Step #4 - Reduction of vapor saturation levels ( by dehumidification or evacuation

1. Now that we have evaporated the moisture into the air, we need

to remove it from the structure along with the excess heat. This is accomplished with the exhaust controller, an air mover, 14” lay flat duct and a duct ring. Set up the exhaust system to evacuate to the outside of the structure.

Set the Remote Activation temperature to turn on the

exhaust fan using the Smart E-TES Remote Exhaust Fan Control or use a separate exhaust control unit set to keep the ambient room temperature below 105ºF. (See Page 16 of this manual or the instructions included with separate exhaust controller unit).

Overheating the structure may cause damage to structure or contents.

Controlling the temperature is important to prevent damage.

Since there is less water in the wood than would be in a carpet/pad combination, the exhaust doesn’t need to cycle as often. Monitor your progress at least daily – more often if practical.

Floors will dry quickly!

FLEXI Dry Secured to E

TES SD Snout

Wall Drying

End opened for increased airflow

Procedure

Step #1 – Access Wall Cavity

1. Remove the base board from the wall. Remove the base board carefully, including cutting any caulk bead

at the top to prevent damage to the drywall. If not damaged, the base board can be re-installed after the drying process is completed.

2. Locate the wall studs in the area to be dried.

3. Drill 1” diameter access holes through the wall. Locate the holes between the studs, just above the wall

base plate. Whenever possible place holes where they will be covered by the base board after drying is completed.

4. Insert one Flexi Dry outlet barb or hose into each hole. Turn tube to point air flow in the desired

direction. Multiple Flexi Fry units can be connected together for larger areas.

Step #2 - Energy applied directly to the water (Temperature)

1. Insert the snout of the E-TES SD unit into the large opening of the Flexi Dry. Secure the Flexi Dry to the

E-TES SD snout with the Velcro strap and the carpet clamp. Seal the ends of the Flexi Dry to prevent air leaking. When using multiple Flexi Dry units connected together, seal the Velcro strips on the other large openings to prevent air from leaking out.

2. Insert a centrifugal air mover into the E-TES

SD box. Plug the air mover cord into a wall outlet. Connect the two GFCI power cords to the E-TES SD 120volt unit and plug the cords into two different 120v circuit outlets.

3. Place remote sensors for air temperature,

surface temperature and moisture level as needed in desired locations. Connect the sensors to the E-TES SD.

4. Turn on the E-TES SD unit and adjust the set points for each

of the remote sensors as required for your application.

5. Turn on the air mover.

6. In some cases the Flexi Dry may restrict the E-TES SD outlet

air flow enough to overheat and engage the E-TES snout temperature sensor or the Safety Overtemp switches. When using the FlexiDry, the Overtemp Light will often turn ON & OFF as the snout overheats and cools off. The E-TES SD will continue to operate and no adjustments are needed.

However if the air flow is restricted too much, the Heater Safety Overtemp switches will engage, the unit will cycle ON & OFF a few times before it locks in the OFF position and will not turn back ON until the E-TES power is turned OFF and back ON.

To prevent this, open one end of the Flexi Dry to increase the total airflow. Opening the end just a small amount should increase the air flow enough to keep the E-TES SD operating. Opening the end too much may reduce the flow through the outlet tubes and increase the drying time.

Step #3 - Airflow applied directly to the water (Evaporation)

1. We are getting air movement into the wall with the air mover / E-TES SD box and the Flexi Dry system.

We are heating the water to cause the evaporation, but the water vapor still needs to be removed from the wall.

If the wall is wet top to bottom, air outlet holes may need to be drilled at the top of the wall between the studs to allow the water vapor to be removed from the wall cavity. If the wall is only wet at the bottom, drill an outlet hole below the baseboard level to allow moist air to escape
