How the Dehumidifier Works

The dehumidifier utilizes its integral humidistat to monitor the conditioned space.

Once conditions are outside the desired setpoint, the compresser energizes and air is drawn across an evaporator coil. The evaporator coil is cooler than the dew point of the air so the water vapor will turns into liquid condensation. The air is then reheated through the condenser coil and distributed back into the room.

Guidelines

Operation Notes

• Always make sure that the unit is operated, transported, and stored on a stable surface.
• For maximum efficiency, operate the unit with all windows and doors closed.
• Do not place the unit anywhere that may block the inlet or outlet airflow.

Drain Hose Notes

• The Dehumidifier is equipped with an external drain line connection, making it easy to plug in.
• The drain line can be directed outside or into any sink, drain, etc.
• For more effective draining, uncoil the entire hose before using.
• Never place the end of the hose higher than 15 feet.
• Always ensure that the drain hose is not blocked prior to use.

Transportation Notes

• Always secure the dehumidifier during transportation enter period.
• If the unit is transported vertically, return it to a normal horizontal position, and let sit for 30 minutes prior to use.

LCD Display Instructions

1. When the machine is powered on but not working:
   (after power on, the buzzer makes a sound)
   The machine displays when it is not working. (Power off state but have electricity)

2. Main interface display of dehumidification state:
   The following information is displayed when the machine is working:
   * 000 JOB HRS:
   Refers to the working time, which is defined as the time from starting up to shutting down, including the defrost time during the period, and the standby time after the humidity. The submenu has a reset function. If not, the working time shall be accumulated.
   Total time 9999 hours, the largest cumulative to the largest automatically reset after restart, and display units for hours. (round off).
   • 000 LIFE HRS:
   Refers to the total working time, i.e. the total working time (hours), which is in hours. (press the mode key + select the confirmation key, and the total working time will be cleaned after 3 seconds.
   • IN/OUT 00°F 00% 00 gr/ Ib:
   Indicates the temperature, humidity and moisture content of the air inlet and outlet {GPP – grain per pound (gr/Ib)}.
   • Set 00%:
   Indicates set humidity.
   • If the main interface does not operate for 10 minutes, the screen will go out. Press any key to wake up.
   • Other icons light up or flicker when opened.
   The total working time is the accumulation of each working time (hours) in hours. (Press the mode key + select to confirmation key, and the total working time will be cleaned  after 3 seconds.

3. Dehumidification status submenu interface display
   3.1
   “Indicates”: Do | need to clear out this time?”, press “>”if you need to clear. When the operation is completed, the working time of the main interface and the working time of  this interface will be reset and started to be instant again.
   After accumulation (9999), clean up and round.
   3.2
   “Coil Temp 000°C ”: Used to display the current temperature of the coil. When it is below zero, the “-” symbol is displayed in front. “-” is not required on zero.
   3.4
   WI-FI hotspot:** Factory setting is “OFF”, press > to enable wifi “otspot and switch ON/OFF. The device can transmit data and receive APP commands. The icon flickers when  connected on the main interface. After successful connection, the icon displays normally.
   (Note: This model does not come with WiFi function and is only suitable for application-controlled dehumidifiers.)
   3.5.1
   The power down time is adjusted according to”>” and the power down time increases from 3 to 20 minutes (3-5-10-15-20), which is the so-called stop time of the fan after shutdown, in order to better drain the water. Factory set for 3 minutes.
   (the other state of the fan is still 15 seconds.)
   3.5.2
   The screen displays when you press shut down: Indicates: the fan is closed after a few minutes, and the standby page UNIT OFF is displayed after the fan is closed.
   3.6
   “Temp Units °F/°C”: Used for temperature scale switching. Press the “>” button to switch °F / °C, after switch symbol of corresponding parts is also changing.
   3.7
   “MOISTURE CONTENT UNITS”: It is used to switch the unit of GPP value with moisture content. Press > to switch the LB or KG, after switch symbol of corresponding parts is also changing.
   3.8
   “Humidistat Setpoint 00%”:** Used for setting dehumidification mode humidity. Press “>” to set the humidity. The adjustment range of humidity setting is between 25 and 80%.
   Each key rises or falls 5%, which can be recycled.
   When the setting is completed, do not operate for 5 seconds and begin to take effect. (Otherwise, the compressor will be shut down immediately after it is below ambient  humidity at the time of setting.) Humidity below 25 percents “CO” mode recyclable. The main interface displays the set parameters.

4. Main interface frosting status display:
   The machine will display this after defrost when running
   ****When the machine is running normally, “Deffrost SHUTDOWN IN 06:00” will occurs in the interface after defrosting. It’s defrost countdown use seconds as units. This screen  displays only 3 seconds. Displays the previous interface and status after restoration. If it is the home screen, the frost icon will flash.
   When the user is operating in the submenu, the machine is in the frosting state. At this point, the frosting interface displays 3 seconds, and returns to the submenu program in the background countdown. When the user returns to the main interface without any operation, the frosting state is displayed in the main interface in the way of icon flicker.

5. Compressor on waiting interface display
   Compressor protection time not shown:
   “Compressor ready IN 03:00” indicates : That the interface will be displayed when the compression is in a protected state. (including power-on and shutdown, the humidity rises immediately after the arrival of LO HI, and the shutdown resumes immediately after the emergence of LO H!).Displays the countdown in seconds. If the above situation does not occur within 3 minutes, it is not shown.

6. Water Pump working interface display
   Compressor protection time not shown:
   “Pump working countdown”: Indicates: No matter in which working state and interface, as long as the pump works, this interface app ears and counts down to 28 seconds. However, the interface only displays the previous working status and interface after 3 seconds. For example, after 3 seconds, there is a drainage icon on the main interface and it will flash until the drainage is finished.

7. Interface display in case of failure
   Machine running time fault display:
   Make fault judgment and take corresponding actions after starting up. Regardless of the state, the fault is executed first and the fault code is displayed on the interface. If there is a fault in the sub-menu operation, immediately return to this interface display fault (including defrosting state). (the fault is judged when the pump works, and the fault is displayed as usual, but the pump needs to complete the water pumping this time). Multiple faults can be displayed at the same time.

Description of fault display:

• Humidity sensor fault: when the humidity sensor unit fault or signal can not be transmitted, the fault is judged to be E1. The machine is out of operation (power on again after troubleshooting). Pump button can operate.

• Ambient temperature T≤2: When the sensor continuously detects the ambient temperature of inlet air
  T=2 degrees for 600 seconds, the fault is judged to be LO and the whole machine is stopped. Other values, corresponding to the temperature region operation. (recoverable). At  this time, the interface cannot be operated. The pump button can be operated.

• Ambient temperature T≥45: When the sensor continuously detects the inlet air environment temperature T=45 degrees for 15 seconds, the fault is judged to be HI and the whole machine is stopped.
  Other values, corresponding to the temperature region operation. (recoverable). At this time, the interface cannot be operated. The pump button can be operated.
