In general, ozone may cause or intensify fire, it may be
fatal if inhaled and irritating to eyes, respiratory system
and skin!
Endeavour to prevent the formation of ozone. Hence,
never leave the device running at stage5 in continuous
operation!
Notice
Do not operate the device without an inserted air filter!
Without air filter the inside of the device will be heavily

Information about the device
Value Protection Range technology (VPR+)
If properly dimensioned and operated, the dehumidifiers of the
VPR+series keep the humidity level steady around the clock
and, if needed, neutralize a great number of offensive smells.
The humidity is automatically regulated to the set level that
reliably prevents corrosion, condensation and mould formation.
A relative humidity between 45 and 50% provides better
protection than any other measure against corrosion and rust.
Rust mainly occurs at inaccessible, hardly visible spots.
In addition to the dehumidification and odour elimination, the
process air is further freed from dust and/or soot depending on
the used filter model.
The integrated pump ensures the discharge of the accumulating
condensate even over differences in height.
The fan comes with two stages to adjust the device
performance to the contaminations and conditions in the room.
Description of the device
The dehumidifiers of the VPR+ series use the principle of
condensation to automatically dehumidify rooms.
The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet(3), the
evaporator and the condenser located behind it. The air is
cooled at the cold evaporator until it is below the dew point.
Water vapour contained in the room air precipitates on the
evaporator fins as either condensation or rime. The
dehumidified, cooled air is rewarmed at the condenser and
blown out at a temperature of approx. 5 °C above room
temperature.
The drier air thus conditioned mixes with the air in the room via
the air outlet(1). The humidity in the room where the device is
positioned is reduced as air constantly circulates through the
device. Depending on the air temperature and the relative
humidity, the condensed water either drops into the
condensation tray continuously or only during the defrost
phases.
To set the desired humidity level, a hygrostat with control
dial(8) is provided in the device's interior. This control dial can
be easily accessed once the filter flap(3) has been removed.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx.
30%.
At a room temperature of 15°C, the devices emit 1.6 to 3 times
of their power consumption to the room air in form of heat (see
chapter Technical data, COP). Because of the heat dissipation,
which develops during operation, the room temperature can
therefore rise by approx. 1 to 3°C.
A high humidity level in the air (starting at 70%RH) provides
the perfect breeding ground for mould. However, the room air
must not be too dry either (<40%RH). Materials such as
leather or rubber become porous, and wood becomes brittle and
fissured.
For the storage of vehicles we recommend a relative humidity
between 45 and 50%. For other material-specific humidity
values please refer to the respective manufacturer's instructions
for the stored goods.
Additionally, the device comes equipped with an ionizer which
eliminates odours and bacteria from the room air, if required.
Depending on the model an integrated filter absorbs dust and /
or soot in the room air.
The incorporated pump helps to discharge condensate; in doing
so, it is possible to overcome a difference in altitude of up to
10m. That way, it is possible to discharge condensate across
several storeys.
