EVOHEAT EVO Solace Indoor Dehumidifier Instruction Manual

EVOHEAT EVO Solace Indoor Dehumidifier

Introduction

This manual contains information relating to the installation, troubleshooting, operation, and maintenance of this EvoHeat unit. Instructions in this manual must always be followed. Failure to comply with these recommendations will invalidate the warranty. Should you have any questions or require technical support, call the EvoHeat office on 1300 859 933 to speak to our team. The Solace Domestic series dehumidifier is designed to remove moisture from the air in the room without losing the warmth contained within. The Solace Domestic can remove up to 104 litres of moisture from an indoor pool room a day.

Dimensions

Working Principle
The Solace Dehumidifier works by drawing moist air over a refrigerated coil with a small fan. The cold coil of the refrigeration device condenses the water, which is removed. Then the air is reheated by the hot coil. This process works most effectively with higher ambient temperatures with a high dew point temperature. For best results, we recommend that the room temperature be maintained within 5 degrees of the pool temperature.

Performance Curve

Hygrostat Control
The dehumidifier is controlled by a built-in hygrostat set on one side of the unit. The target RH value can be set in a range from 30% to 90%. The unit will not start to dehumidify until the actual RH is beyond the setting value. We recommend that an external hygrostat should be installed to ensure a constant measure of the humidity in the pool area. The location of the hygrostat is as follows:

Safety Instructions
Installation, repair, or relocations must only be done by a fully qualified technician. If done incorrectly several hazards can occur including fire, electric shock, water leakage and injury. Always use a suitably qualified Electrician to perform any electrical work, they must read the manual before connecting. Ensure all cabling, circuit breakers, and protections are of a suitable size and specification under electrical wiring legislation for the heater being installed. Ensure that there is adequate voltage and current available at the heater connection to run the unit.

• Installation, repair or relocations must be done by a fully qualified technician. If done incorrectly it may cause fire, electric shock, water leakage and other hazards.
• Maintenance and operation must be carried out according to the recommended time and frequencies, as stated in this manual.
• To avoid the risk of electrical shock, the unit must have a good power connection and earthing.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced.
• Use genuine standard spare parts only.
• When an abnormality (smell of burning, etc.) occurs, stop the unit and disconnect the power or turn off the breaker. If the unit continues to be operated in an abnormal condition, it may cause a fire or hazards.
• For unit cleaning or maintenance, switch off and disconnect the power of the unit.
• Do not install the unit near flammable gas or spray flammable substances near it.
• Ensure the unit is installed on a strong and stable platform.
• A circuit breaker must be installed for the unit.
• Use a suitable fuse. Copper or iron will cause a failure or possibly a fire.
• Do not operate the unit with wet hands.
• Do not perform any modifications of safety or adjustment devices without authorisation.
• Even if the unit is disconnected from the mains supply, do not pull, cut or knot the electrical cables coming out of the unit.
• Do not poke objects through the inlet and outlet grills.
• Do not climb onto the appliance or rest any object on it.
• External parts of the unit can reach temperatures of more than 70°C, never touch it with your hands!
• The unit must be installed per national wiring regulations.
• caution: Single wall heat exchanger, not suitable for potable water connection.

Installation

Location of Installation
Avoid installing the unit near:

• Positions subject to exposure to direct sunlight
• Sources of heat
• Oil Fumes
• Areas subject to high frequencies

Ensure that

• The wall on which the unit is installed is strong enough to support the weight of the unit
• The part of the wall where the unit is installed does not have pipes or electrical wires passing through
• The wall is perfectly flat
• There are no obstacles around the unit that could interfere with the inlet and outlet airflow.
• There should be an outside perimeter wall to allow the discharge of condensation outside.

Airflow Clearances
If hanging the unit on the wall, you can remove the rubber feet on the base of the unit. The minimum mounting distances between the Solace Domestic and other objects in the wall are:

• 20cm from each end
• 50cm from above & below

Drainage

Select a suitably sized hose to connect to the built-in hose of the unit if required.
NOTE: If the condensation water discharges directly into a container, the condensate outlet should be located above the container to avoid it immersing in the container.

Wall-Mounted Installation
Insert 5 Expansion Bolts into holes which are bored by a 10mm drill, then, fix the wall suspension bar horizontally.

NOTE
When the unit starts, you must wait 15 seconds until the unit shows the exact ambient relative humidity. During this time, you cannot operate the control panel and the screen will show 8.8. After non-operation for 90 seconds, the unit keys will light off. If you touch the keys after this time, the keys will light back up again allowing you to operate the control panel.

Operation

The Controller

Functions

Power On/Off
To turn the unit on & off, press the ON/OFF button. When the unit is on, the display will show the current ambient relative humidity, and the mode icon and the power button will also be lit up.

Set Relative Humidity
To check the relative humidity, press the UP or DOWN arrow keys. Once the relative humidity is displayed, you can Press the UP or DOWN arrows again to adjust it as desired. If no operation is performed within 5 seconds, the screen will return to the home screen and save any changes made automatically.

Dehumidification Mode
When the unit is in dehumidifying mode, the LED icon lights up and:

1. If A (actual relative humidity of the room air) ≥ TRH (target relative humidity) + 5% RH and the condition has lasted for 30 seconds – the unit will begin to dehumidify.
2. If A (actual relative humidity of the room air) ≤ TRH (target relative humidity) – 5% RH, and the condition has lasted for 3 minutes – the unit will cease dehumidifying.

Defrost Mode
When the ambient temperature is low, for example, 11°C, and after the unit has worked for an extended period, there is a possibility that the evaporator will begin to ice up. When this happens, the unit will switch to defrosting mode
automatically. During defrosting the icon will be lit up. When defrosting is over, the unit returns to dehumidifying mode.

Fault Display
If a problem occurs with the unit, the control panel will display a problem code that relates to the cause of the issue. See 6. Troubleshooting for failure codes, their definitions, and solutions. Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys on the fault display to view other failure codes (if there are any).
