Information about the device
Description of the device
The device TTK 96 E / TTK 127 E uses the principle of
condensation to automatically dehumidify rooms.
The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet, the air filter,
the evaporator and to 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 slightly warmed and blown out again.
The drier air thus conditioned mixes with the air in the room.
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 continuously or only during the
defrost phase through the integrated drain nozzle into the
condensation tank below. It is fitted with a float to measure the
filling level.
The device has a control panel for operating and controlling the
functions.
Once the maximum fill level of the condensation tank is
reached, the condensation tank indicator light (see chapter
Operating elements) on the control panel is illuminated. The
device switches off. The condensation tank indicator light only
goes out again once the emptied condensation tank is
reinserted.
Optionally, the condensed water can be drained by attaching a
hose (Ø = 14mm) at the condensation connection.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx.
35%.
Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the
room temperature may rise slightly.

device may be damaged.
Note the information regarding transport and storage of
the device.
Transport
To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with wheels.
To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with a carry
handle.
Before transporting the device, observe the following:
• Switch the device off.
• Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
• Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the

Warning of electrical voltage
Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.
• Switch the device off.
• Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
Warning of electrical voltage
Tasks which require the housing to be opened
must only be carried out by authorised specialist
companies or by Trotec.
Visual inspection of the inside of the device for dirt
1. Remove the air filter.
2. Use a torch to illuminate the openings of the device.
3. If you see a thick layer of dust, have the inside of the
device cleaned by a specialist company for cooling and airconditioning or by Trotec.
4. Put the air filter back in.
Cleaning the air filter
Caution
Ensure that the air filter is not worn or damaged. The
corners and edges of the air filter must not be
deformed or rounded. Before reinserting the air filter,
make sure that it is undamaged and dry!
The air filter must be cleaned after 250operating hours at the
latest or as soon as it is dirty. This is brought to light e.g. by a
reduced cooling capacity (see chapter Errors and faults).
The FILTER LED(13) will be illuminated after 250operating
hours.
1.
Cleaning the housing
Clean the device with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Ensure
that no moisture enters the housing. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
Refrigerant circuit
• The entire refrigerant circuit is a maintenance-free,
hermetically sealed system and may only be maintained or
repaired by specialist companies for cooling and
air-conditioning or by Trotec.
2.
• Reinsert the cleaned, dry filter in the device in reverse
order.
• Press the FILTER button(26) to carry out a filter reset. This
is only possible when the FILTER LED(13) was illuminated
previously. The FILTER LED(13) goes out after the reset.
Note:
If the device stops, it cannot be restarted within the next
3minutes so as to protect the device. After 3minutes the
device starts automatically.
