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.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx. 30 %.
In addition, the device may also be used as a kind of clothes dryer to dry wet laundry in living or working spaces.
Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the room temperature may rise slightly.

• Check the on-site fusing.
• Check the filling level of the condensation tank and empty it if necessary. The Tank Full indication (23) must not light up.
• Check the condensation tank for correct seating.
• Check the room temperature. Observe the device’s permissible operating range according to the technical data. Possibly, the device does not start because the ambient temperature is too low (< 5 °C).
• Wait for 10 minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company or by Trotec.

The device is running, but there is no formation of condensate:

• Check the float in the condensation tank for dirt. If necessary, clean the condensation tank. The float must be able to move freely.
• Check the room temperature. Observe the device’s permissible operating range according to the technical data. Possibly, the device does not start because the ambient temperature is too low (< 5 °C).
• Ensure that the relative room humidity complies with the technical data.
• Check the preselected relative room humidity. The humidity in the room must be above the selected range.
• Check the air filter for dirt. If necessary, clean or replace the air filter.
• The device might carry out an automatic defrost. During automatic defrost, the device does not dehumidify.

The device is loud or vibrates:

• Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright position.

Condensate is leaking:

• Check the device for leaks.

The compressor does not start:

• Check the room temperature. Observe the device’s permissible operating range according to the technical data. Possibly, the device does not start because the ambient temperature is too low (< 5 °C).
• Ensure that the relative room humidity complies with the technical data.
• Check the preselected relative room humidity. The humidity in the room must be above the selected range.
• Check whether the overheating protection of the compressor has tripped. Disconnect the device from the mains and let it cool down for approx. 10 minutes before reconnecting it.
• The device might carry out an automatic defrost. During automatic defrost, the device does not dehumidify.

The device gets very warm, is loud or is losing performance:

• Check the air inlets and air filters for dirt. Remove external dirt.
• From the outside, check the device for 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.

Note
Wait for at least 10 minutes after maintenance and repair work. Only then switch the device back on.
The device still does not operate correctly after these checks:
