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.
In case of the device TTK 165 ECO defrosting takes place
electronically in air circulation mode.
The devices TTK170ECO and TTK380ECO come with a hot
gas automatic defrost system. Here, the hot gas of the
refrigerant circuit is used actively for fast and effective
defrosting. This makes the devices TTK170ECO and
TTK380ECO considerably more effective at temperatures
below 15°C.
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
Device depiction) is illuminated. The compressor and fan will
switch off. The condensation tank indicator light only goes out
again once the emptied condensation tank is reinserted.
If required, an external hygrostat can be connected to the
devices TTK170ECO and TTK380ECO for controlling the
humidity level. Moreover, an operating hours counter helps you
to meet the maintenance deadlines.
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.
Info
The illustrations in this operating manual feature the
device TTK 170 ECO by way of example. However, the
depicted operating steps and explanations also apply to
the devices TTK165ECO and TTK380ECO unless
otherwise mentioned.
If you store or transport the device improperly, the
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 a
transport handle and two wheels.
Before transporting the device, observe the following:
•Switch off the device.
•Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
•Do not use the power cable to drag the device.
•Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the
condensation drain hose (see chapter Maintenance).
•Do not incline the device by more than 45°, for otherwise
the device could be damaged.
Storage
Before storing the device, proceed as follows:
•Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the
condensation drain hose (see chapter Maintenance).
•Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
When the device is not being used, observe the following
storage conditions:
•dry and protected from frost and heat
•in an upright position where it is protected from dust and
direct sunlight
•with a cover to protect it from invasive dust, if necessary
•Place no further devices or objects on top of the device to
prevent it from being damaged.
