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 (5) and the air filter. The air is cooled until it is under the dew point. The water vapour contained in the room air precipitates on the evaporator fins and is discharged in form of condensate. The dehumidified, cooled air is rewarmed at the condenser and blown out at a temperature of approx. 5 °C above room temperature. 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 drops through the integrated drain nozzle into the condensation tank (7) below. It is fitted with a float to measure the filling level. Once the maximum fill level of the condensation tank (7) is reached, the condensation tank indicator light (see chapter Operating elements) on the control panel (1) is illuminated. The device switches off. The condensation tank indicator light only goes out again once the emptied condensation tank (7) is reinserted. The condensed water can be diverted by attaching a hose at the condensation connection (6). The device was designed to reduce the humidity level in living and working spaces. Because of the heat dissipation, which develops during operation, the room temperature can rise by approx. 1 to 4 °C.

To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with wheels and recessed handles.

Before transporting the device, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the device at the mains switch (see chapter Operating elements).

2. Remove the mains plug from the mains socket. Do not use the power cable to drag the device!

3. Empty the condensation tank. Check for dripping condensation.

After transporting the device, proceed as follows:

1. Set the device in an upright position after transport.

2. Wait one hour before switching the device on!

Storage

When out of use, store the device as follows:

•dry,

• with a roof overhead,

• in an upright position where it is protected from dust and direct sunlight,

• with a plastic cover to protect it from invasive dust, if necessary.

• The storage temperature is the same as the range given for the operating temperature in the chapter Technical Data.

Positioning

When positioning the device, observe the minimum distance from walls or other objects as described in chapter 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 %.

Transport Operation

Operating elements

Switching the device on

• After being switched on, the device operates fully automatically until either the preset humidity level is reached or the float indicating that the condensation tank is full takes care that the device switches itself off.

• The fan is running continuously until the device is switched off.

• Avoid open doors and windows.

1. Ensure that the condensation tank is empty and inserted correctly. Otherwise, the device will not operate!

2. Open the fins at the air outlet (2).

3. Turn the rotary switch (12) to position OFF.

4. Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains power socket.

5. First turn the rotary switch (12) to position 4 (desired humidity value 60 %). If you require a different humidity level, select a higher or lower value.

– The OPERATION indicator light (10) is illuminated. – The dehumidifier is working.

Setting the humidity level

Note:

The selected humidity value must be lower than the current humidity level in the room where the device is positioned.

• Adjust the desired humidity level via the rotary switch (12).

The following table contains guide values for the settings:

Continuous operation mode

In continuous operation mode, the device dehumidifies the air constantly, regardless of the moisture content. The condensate is collected in the condensation tank or drained separately. For separate draining, both a suitable hose (1/2'') and an appropriate collection container or drain are required. Start the continuous operation mode as follows:

1. Switch the device off.

2. If you want do drain the condensate separately, connect the hose, see chapter Operation with hose attached to the condensation connection. If you want to collect the condensate in the condensation tank, proceed with step 3.

3. Turn the rotary switch (12) to position CONT. – The dehumidifier now works in continuous operation mode.

Automatic defrost

At low room temperatures the evaporator can freeze up during dehumidification. The device then carries out an automatic defrost. The duration of the defrost can vary. The DEFROST indicator light (9) is illuminated. After automatic defrosting the device continues to operate normally and the DEFROST indicator light (10) goes out.

• Do not turn off the device during the automatic defrost. Do not remove the mains plug from the mains socket.

5. Clean the device, and especially the air filter, according to the chapter Maintenance.

6. Store the device according to chapter Storage.

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.

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 condensation tank indicator light must not light up.

• 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 float and 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 that the selected desired humidity level. The humidity in the room must be above the selected range. Reduce the preselected humidity by turning the rotary switch (12), if necessary.

• 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 position of the fins at the air outlet (2). The fins ought to be open.

• Check the air inlets and air filter are not dirty. Remove external dirt.

• From the outside, check the device for 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

for repair.
