Description of the device

This device uses the principle of condensation to automatically dehumidify rooms. The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet (9), 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 frost. The dehumidified, cooled air is warmed and blown out at the condenser. 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 into the condensation tank (6). Once the maximum filling level of the condensation tank (6) is reached, an indication lights up at the control panel (2) and the device switches off. The indicator light only goes out again once the emptied condensation tank (6) is reinserted. Optionally, the condensed water can be drained by means of a hose. The device enables a reduction of the relative humidity level in living and working spaces, business premises, basements, laundry facilities and workshops to approx. 30 % and is also designed for the application in warehouses and on building sites. Because of the heat dissipation, which develops during operation, the room temperature can rise by approx. 1 °C to 3 °C.

Operating elements

Positioning

When positioning the device, observe the minimum distance from walls or other objects as specified in the technical data.
• Set the device in a level and stable position.
• If possible, set the device in the middle of a room and keep it away from sources of heat.
• When positioning the device in wet areas such as laundries, bath rooms or the like, secure the device locally with an RCD (Residual Current Device) which complies with the appropriate regulations.
• Ensure that extension cords are completely unrolled.

Notes regarding the dehumidification performance

Dehumidification performance depends on:
• the spatial composition of the room
• the room temperature
• the relative humidity
The higher the room temperature and relative humidity, the higher the dehumidification performance. For using in living rooms, a relative humidity of approx. 50-60 % is sufficient. In store rooms and archives, the humidity should not exceed approx. 50 %.

Continuous operation mode

A.
B.
In continuous operation the device permanently dehumidifies the air regardless of the moisture content until it is switched off manually or by means of the programmed switch-off timer. In order to start continuous operation, select a nominal value of < 30 % for the humidity.

Setting the timer

The timer can be used in two different ways:
• After a predefined time, the device switches itself on automatically.
• After a predefined operating time, the device switches itself off automatically.
To set the automatic switch-on timer, please proceed as follows:
1. Press the Timer button (12) once.
2. Adjust the desired length of time until the automatic switch-on in hourly increments using the Plus (14) or Minus button (13).
3. Press the timer button again to set the automatic switch-off time. Press the button again to leave the menu.
4. Press the Power button (11) to switch over to automatic operation.
5. The device switches on after the predefined time. It keeps running until the given switch-off time has expired or until the device is switched off manually.

Connecting adapter and hose (optional)

To set the automatic switch-off timer, please proceed as follows:
1. Press the Timer button (12) twice.
2. Adjust the desired length of time until the automatic switch-off in hourly increments using the Plus (14) or Minus button (13).
3. Press the Timer button (12) again to exit the timer settings.

Automatic defrost

At low ambient temperatures the evaporator can freeze up during dehumidification. The device then carries out an automatic defrost. The duration of the defrost process can vary. Do not turn off the device during the automatic defrost. Do not remove the mains plug from the mains socket.

Memory function

In case of brief power failures the device memorizes the programmed nominal value for humidity. The pre-programmed start and stop times for automatic operation are not saved.

Shutdown

1. Press the Power button (11) to switch the device off.
2. Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.
3. Remove the mains plug from the mains socket.
4. Empty the condensation tank. Check for dripping condensation.
5. Clean the device, and especially the air filter, according to the chapter Maintenance.
6. Store the device according to chapter Storage.

Errors and faults

The accurate functionality of the device was tested during production a number of times. However, if functionality faults do occur, then check the device according to the following list.

Note!

The device comes with a safety timer. Switch-ons and switch-offs can be delayed by up to 3 minutes.

The device does not start:

• Check the power connection.
• Check the mains plug for damages.
• Check that the condensation tank is positioned correctly. Check the filling level of the condensation tank and empty it, if necessary. The FULL indication must not light up on the display (10).
• Wait for 10 minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company for cooling and air-conditioning or by TROTEC®.

The device runs but forms no condensation:

• Check the float in the condensation tank for damages. If necessary, clean the condensation tank. The float must be able to move freely.
• Check the room temperature. Check the device's permissible operating range complies with the technical data.
• Check the air filter is not dirty. If necessary, clean or replace the air filter.
• From the outside, check the condenser for dirt (see chapter Maintenance). If your condenser is dirty, have it cleaned by a specialist company for cooling and air-conditioning or by TROTEC®.

The device is loud or vibrates; condensate is leaking:

• Check whether the device is standing upright and on an even surface.

The device gets very warm, is loud or is losing performance:

• Check the air inlets and air filter are not dirty. Remove external dirt.
• Check the inside of the device and especially the fan, the fan housing, the evaporator and the condenser for external dirt (see chapter Maintenance). If the inside of the device is dirty, have it cleaned by a specialist company for cooling and air-conditioning or by TROTEC®.

Your device still does not operate correctly after these checks?

Bring the device to a specialist company for cooling and air-conditioning or to TROTEC
