Information about the device

Description of the device

The device 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 condensation or rime. The dehumidified, cooled air is slightly warmed at the condenser 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.
Defrosting of the device takes place electronically in air circulation mode.
The device has a control panel for operating and controlling the functions.
Once the maximum filling level of the condensation tank is reached or in case the condensation tank is not installed correctly, 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 at the condensation connection.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx. 30 %.
Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the room temperature may rise slightly.

Activities required before starting maintenance

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.

Refrigerant circuit

Danger Natural refrigerant propane (R290)!
H220 – Extremely flammable gas. H280 – Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated.
P210 – Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. P377 – Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. P410+P403 – Protect from sunlight. Store in a well­ventilated place.
The entire refrigerant circuit is a maintenance-free, hermetically sealed system and may only be maintained or repaired by specialist companies for cooling and air­conditioning or by Trotec.

Safety signs and labels on the device

Check the safety signs and labels attached to the device at regular intervals. Replace illegible safety signs!

Cleaning the housing

Clean the housing with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Ensure that no moisture enters the housing. Protect electrical components from moisture. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents such as cleaning sprays, solvents, alcohol-based or abrasive cleaners to dampen the cloth.

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. Check the inside of the device for dirt.
4. 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.
5. Put the air filter back in.

Cleaning the air filter

Note
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 has to be cleaned as soon as it is dirty. This is brought to light e.g. by a reduced capacity (see chapter Errors and faults).
1. Remove the air filter from the device.
EN 17

Page 18
2. Clean the filter using a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. If the filter is heavily contaminated, clean it with warm water mixed with a neutral cleaning agent.
3. Allow the filter to dry completely. Do not insert a wet filter into the device!
4. Reinsert the air filter into the device.

Emptying the condensation tank

If the condensation tank is full or not installed correctly, the FULL indication(23) will light up on the display. The compressor and fan will switch off.
1. Take the condensation tank out of the device.
2. Empty the condensation tank over a drain or sink.
3. Rinse the tank with clear water. Clean the tank regularly using a mild cleaning agent (no detergent!).
4. Refit the condensation tank into the device. Make sure not to damage the float when inserting or removing the condensation tank. In doing so, make sure that the float is positioned correctly. In doing so, make sure that the condensation tank is inserted correctly, for otherwise the device cannot be switched back on.

Activities required after maintenance

If you want to continue using the device:
Leave the device to rest for 12to24hours, so the refrigerant can accumulate within the compressor. Wait 12to24hours before switching the device back on! Acting contrary might lead to compressor damage and a malfunctioning device. If so, any warranty claims will be voided.
Reconnect the device to the mains.
If you do not intend to use the device for a considerable time:
Store the device according to the Storage chapter.
