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 (3),
the air filter (8), 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 rewarmed at the condenser and blown
out at a temperature of approx. 5 °C above room temperature. The drier air which is prepared in this way
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 tray
and through the integrated drain nozzle into the condensation tank (5) below. This is fitted with a float to
measure the fill level. The device has a control
panel (2) for operating and controlling the functions.
Once the maximum fill level of the condensation
tank (5) is reached, the condensation tank indicator
light (see chapter "Operating elements") on the control panel (2) flashes. The device switches off. The
condensation tank indicator light only goes out again
once the emptied condensation tank (5) is reinserted.
The condensed water can be diverted by attaching a
hose at the condensation plug (4). The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room by up to approx.
49 %. It provides additional assistance for drying wet
washing or clothing in living or working spaces. Because of the heat radiation which is tied up in operation, the room temperature can rise by approx.
1- 4 °C.

To avoid damages to the device, never
operate the device without an air filter inserted!
Danger!
Dangers can occur at the device when it
is used by untrained people in an unprofessional or improper way! Observe the
personnel qualifications!
Behaviour in the event of an emergency
1. Disconnect the device from the mains power in an
emergency.
2. Do not reconnect a defective device to the mains
power.
Transport
To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with
lateral carry 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.
• 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".
Operation
• After being switched on, the device operates fully
automatically until either a pre-set timer or the
float indicating that the condensation tank is full
takes care that the device switches itself off.
• So that the built in sensor can correctly detect the
humidity, the fan continues to operate until the device is switched off.
• Avoid open doors and windows.
Positioning
When positioning the device, observe the minimum
distance from walls of other objects as described in
chapter "Technical data".
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,
EN Operating Manual – Dehumidifier TTK 71 E 5
• 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.

laundries, bath rooms or the like, secure the device locally with an RCD (Residual Current protective Device) which complies with the appropriate
regulations.
• Ensure that extension cords are completely unrolled.
Notes regarding the dehumidifying capacity
The dehumidifying capacity 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 dehumidifying capacity.
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 %.

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.
The device does not start:
• Check the mains power
(230 V/1~/50 Hz).
• Check the mains plug for damages.
• 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 condensation tank is positioned correctly. Check the fill level of the condensation tank and
empty it if necessary. The condensation tank indicator light must not light up.
• 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. The working range
of the device is between 5 °C and 35 °C.
• Ensure that the relative humidity complies with the
technical data.
• Check that the selected humidity is realistic. The
humidity in the room must be above the selected
range. Reduce the selected desired humidity by
pressing the "Arrow down" key (11), 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; condensation leaks:
• 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
®
.
Does your device still not operate correctly after
these checks?
Bring the device to a specialist company for cooling
and air-conditioning or to TROTEC
®
for repairs.
