Information about the device

Device description

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. The device has a control panel for operating and controlling the functions.

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 Operation) on the control panel is illuminated. The device switches off. The condensation tank indicator light only goes out again once the emptied condensation tank is reinserted. Optionally, the condensed water can be drained by attaching a hose at the condensation connection. In addition, the device may also be used as a kind of clothes dryer to dry wet laundry in living or working spaces. Another feature is the device’s self-cleaning function. This function serves to dry the interior of the device in order to prevent the formation of mould or similar inside the device due to residual moisture. Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the room temperature may rise slightly.

Safety signs and labels on the device

  • Check the safety signs and labels attached to the device at regular intervals. Replace illegible safety signs!

Cleaning the housing

Clean the housing with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Make sure that no moisture enters the housing. Protect electrical components from moisture. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents such as cleaning sprays, solvents, alcohol-based or abrasive cleaners to dampen the cloth.

Visual inspection of the inside of the device for dirt

  1. Remove the air filter.
  2. Use a torch to illuminate the openings of the device.
  3. Check the inside of the device for dirt.
  4. If you see a thick layer of dust, have the inside of the device cleaned by a specialist company for cooling and air conditioning or by Trotec.
  5. Put the air filter back in.
Cleaning the air filter

Note: Ensure that the air filters are neither worn nor damaged. The corners and edges of the air filters must not be deformed or rounded. Before reinserting the air filters, make sure that they are undamaged and dry!

The air filters have to be cleaned as soon as they are dirty. This is brought to light e.g. by a reduced capacity (see chapter Errors and faults).

  1. Take the condensation tank out of the device.
  2. Remove the air filter from the device.
  3. Clean the filter using a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. If the filter is heavily contaminated, clean it with warm water mixed with a neutral cleaning agent.
  4. Allow the filter to dry completely. Do not insert a wet filter into the device!
  5. Reinsert the air filter into the device.
  6. Refit the condensation tank into the device. Make sure not to damage the float when inserting or removing the condensation tank. In doing so, make sure that the float is positioned correctly. In doing so, make sure that the condensation tank is inserted correctly, for otherwise the device cannot be switched back on.

Emptying the condensation tank

If the condensation tank is full or not installed correctly, the Tank full LED (10) will be illuminated. The compressor and fan will switch off.

  1. Take the condensation tank out of the device.
