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.

Inserting the air filter
Note
Do not operate the device without an inserted air filter!
Without the air filter, the inside of the device will be
heavily contaminated. This could reduce the
performance and result in damage to the device.
•Make sure that the air filter is installed before switching
the device on.
•Before restarting the device, check the condition of the
power cable. If there are doubts as to the sound condition,
contact the customer service.
•Set the device up in an upright and stable position.
•Do not create tripping hazards when laying the power
cable or other electric cables, especially when positioning
the device in the middle of the room. Use cable bridges.
•Make sure that extension cables are completely unrolled.
•When positioning the device, keep a sufficient distance to
heat sources.
•Make sure that no curtains or other objects interfere with
the air flow.
•When positioning the device, particularly in wet areas,
secure it locally with an RCD (residual current device)
which complies with the respective regulations.
•Do not incline the device by more than 45°, for otherwise
the device could be damaged.
At low ambient temperatures, ice may form at the evaporator
during dehumidification. The device will then carry out an
automatic defrost. Dehumidification is briefly interrupted during
defrosting. The fan keeps running.
In case of the device TTK 165 ECO defrosting takes place
electronically in air circulation mode. In defrost mode, the
compressor switches off while the fan keeps running and
circulates the compressor's waste heat around the evaporator
for defrosting.
The devices TTK170ECO and TTK380ECO come with a hot
gas automatic defrost system based on the bypass procedure.
Here, the hot gas of the refrigerant circuit is used actively for
fast and effective defrosting. As soon as ice starts to form, a
special valves opens automatically, redirects the hot gas to the
evaporator, and closes again after defrosting is completed so
that drying operation can be continued via the regular
refrigerant circuit. Unlike air circulation defrosting, hot gas
automatic defrosting allows for considerably shorter defrost
phases, which is an essential requirement for effective
dehumidification in low-temperature surroundings (below 15°C)
such as unheated rooms. After all, the actual dehumidification
process only takes place when defrosting is not in progress.
The duration of the defrost process can vary. Do not switch off
the device during automatic defrost. Do not remove the mains
plug from the mains socket.
