Information about the device

Device description
The device uses the principle of condensation and a Peltier element to dehumidify small rooms in a silent manner.
The fan sucks in damp room air through the air inlet. The room air is cooled at the cold side of the Peltier element until it is below the dew point. Water vapour contained in the room air precipitates as condensation or rime. The dehumidified, cooled air is blown out. 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 into the condensation tank. The latter is fitted with a float to measure the filling level.
If the maximum level of the condensation tank is reached or if the float is not correctly positioned, the indicator LED lights up red. The device switches off. The indicator LED only goes out again once the emptied condensation tank is reinserted.
The functioning of the two devices is identical, they merely differ in appearance or to be precise in colour: The device TTP 1 Eis brown and the device TTP 2 E is white.
Device depiction

• is illuminated blue when the device is switched on and during operation
• flashes blue if the power adapter is defective
• is illuminated red when the water tank is full or the float is incorrectly positioned
