Information about the device

Description of the device

The TTR57E operates on the desiccant principle, without compressor or refrigerant.

The fully automatic control and the condensation tank with integrated overflow protection ensure fault-free operation.

The fan sucks in damp room air via the air inlet with air filter, the condenser and the desiccant wheel located behind it.

Within the internal regeneration circuit the air is led via a heating element, it dries the desiccant wheel and leads the moist, warm air through the condenser. At the cooler condenser, heat is withdrawn from the room air and cooled below dew point. The water vapour contained in the room air precipitates in form of condensate. The condensate drops into the condensation tank. Optionally, the condensate can be discharged via a condensation hose connected to the connection opening.

The drier air, thus conditioned, is fed back to the room air via the air outlet. The drier air mixes with the air in the room. The relative humidity in the room where the device is positioned is reduced by the constant circulation of the room air.

A float is attached inside the condensation tank, which in case of a filled condensation tank interrupts the dehumidification. When switching off, the device emits an acoustic signal and the Tank Full LED on the control panel is illuminated (see chapter Operating elements). The indicator light only goes out again once the emptied condensation tank is reinserted.

The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx. 40%.

In addition, the device may also be used as a kind of clothes dryer to dry wet laundry.

Unpacking the device

1. Open the cardboard box and take the device out.

2. Completely remove the packaging.

3. Fully unwind the power cable. Make sure that the power cable is not damaged and that you do not damage it during unwinding.

Start-up

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

• 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.

Notes regarding the dehumidification performance

The dehumidification performance depends on:

• the layout of the room

• the room temperature

• the relative humidity

The higher the room temperature and relative humidity, the greater the dehumidification performance.

For use in living rooms, a relative humidity of approx. 50 to 60% is sufficient. In storage facilities and archives, the humidity should not exceed approx. 50%.

Switching the device on

Once you have completely installed the device as described in the Start-up chapter, you can switch it on.

Note

Wait for 3 minutes before you switch the device back on (e.g. after draining the condensation tank).

1. Use the On/Off button(18) to switch the device on.

ð The device starts to dehumidify.

Setting the operating mode

Ventilation mode

The device can be set to three fan speeds: low, med and high.

Low:

The device operates at a low fan speed and low heating capacity to save energy and keep the operating noise to a minimum. The heating switches off when the relative humidity in the ambient air falls below the set nominal value. If the humidity increases to above the set value, the heating will switch on again. The indication for the room humidity level on the front of the device is deactivated.

Med:

The device operates at normal fan speed and high heating capacity.

High:

The device operates at high fan speed and high heating capacity.

Select the fan speed as follows:

1. Press the Speed button(13) until the low LED(9) is illuminated.

2. Repeatedly press the Speed button(13) until the med LED(10) is illuminated.

3. Repeatedly press the Speed button(13) until the high LED(11) is illuminated.

Setting the desired relative room humidity

You can adjust the desired relative room humidity. The selected room humidity level is indicated on the segment display(12). You can select the following settings: (CO), 40%,50%,60% and 70%. To do so, please proceed as follows:

1. Press the Humidity button(17).

ð The selected room humidity level is indicated on the

segment display(12).

2. Press the Humidity button(17) again until the desired value is shown on the segment display(12).

Continuous operation

The device dehumidifies the air constantly and regardless of the relative humidity.

The desired relative room humidity cannot be adjusted in this operating mode.

1. Use the On/Off button(18) to switch the device on.

2. Press the Humidity button(17) until the segment display(12) shows continuous operation(CO).

For reasons of safety, the device switches off automatically for 30minutes after 8hours of continuous operation. After the 30minutes have passed, the cycle starts again and the device switches back on for another 8hours.

Ambient temperature above 36°C

If the ambient temperature exceeds 36°C, the heating switches off for 30minutes while the fan keeps running. After the 30minutes have passed, the device checks the room humidity and temperature. If the room humidity is higher than the previously selected value, the device switches back on for another 8hours. If the room humidity is lower than this value or if the ambient temperature is higher than 36°C, the device switches off again for another 30minutes.

Drying laundry

In addition, the device may also be used as a kind of clothes dryer to dry wet laundry in living or working spaces.

When positioning the device or a clothes horse, please observe the minimum distances specified in the technical data.

For drying laundry the following values should be selected:

• cupboard dry = 46 % relative humidity

• iron dry = 58 % relative humidity

• slightly dried = 65 % relative humidity

If necessary, use a measuring device to determine the humidity level.

Warning
