LGR Dehumidifier Introduction

• XPOWER LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) Commercial Dehumidifiers are designed to maximize water extraction while combining the highest efficiency in performance and portability.
• Latest technology and a high efficiency extraction process ensures peak performance in even the most challenging environments, such as extreme temperatures and low humidity environments.
• With a high and efficient water removal capacity, the LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) Dehumidifier allows an extreme dry zone in the working area and water migration to the air from all surfaces. It is ideal for water damage restoration and industrial applications where maximum air drying performance is needed.

Parts Description

Installation and Operation Guide

• Positioning: Before using the dehumidifier, place the unit UPRIGHT for at least 1 hour before use to allow the refrigerant to stabilize. If the unit was tilted on its side or upside-down during transportation, set the unit UPRIGHT for at least 4 hours before use. The dehumidifier must be positioned UPRIGHT on a level surface during use.
• Enclosed Area: For optimal efficiency, the dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area. Keep all doors, windows and other outside entrances to the room closed. Turn off the air conditioning.
• Air Circulation: It’s suggested to have a constant efficient air circulation inside the area that you are going to work in, for example, setting up a circulation with XPOWER Air Mover combinations.
• Environmental Temperature/Humidity: The dehumidifier is designed to work in an environment with a temperature of 33.0°F to 105.0°F (0.6°C to 40.6°C) and relative humidity level of 20.0% or higher. The dehumidifier may not function normally or efficiently if the room temperature and humidity level exceed this temperature and humidity level range.
• Power Cord and Drain Hose: The power cord has a length of 10 feet (3.0 meters) and the drain hose has a length of 40.0 feet (12.0 meters). Select a location where the power cord can reach the
• power source and the drain hose can reach the area you want. Please do not lift the drainage hose higher than 16 feet (5.0 m) above the machine.
• Inlet and Outlet Orientation: Also pay attention to the orientation of the air inlet and air outlet. Make sure the airflow won’t influence any object near the dehumidifier.
• IMPORTANT: The effectiveness of the dehumidifier can be influenced by different factors. You should keep any new moisture-laden air away from the working area and allow sufficient enclosed air circulation in the room. You may also find that installing multiple dehumidifiers may be required for larger enclosed areas

Information

Relative Humidity Display
This will show the relative humidity level of the setting or environment. By default, it displays the actual environmental humidity. When adjusting humidity, it will display the setting humidity and blink. After 5 seconds from the last adjustment, it will display the environmental humidity again. (See Page 8: Humidity Control)

Temperature Display
This will show the temperature of the evaporator or environment (See Page 8: Evaporator Coil/Environmental Temperature Switch). When in Celsius scale, will be illuminated. When in Fahrenheit scale, will turn off. If the temperature shown is higher than 99°F, the scale will be set to Celsius automatically (See Page 8: Fahrenheit/Celsius Scale Switch).

Fan Speed
This will show if the machine is running on low or high  fan speed. The dehumidifier will control the fan speed according to the environmental temperature and humidity.

Start Your Job

Turn on the dehumidifier
Press the Power Control button to switch on the machine. You may see the dehumidification light is flashing. Please wait for 3 minutes (180 seconds) until the machine completes the startup

Write down the starting time
Please remember to write down the starting time right after the machine starts, if you want to calculate the usage time.

Set the desired humidity level

• Tap the humidity control button to adjust the setting humidity level. The default humidity setting is 30%. The adjustable range is from 30% to 90% (See Page 8: Humidity Control). The machine will try to match the set humidity level and maintain it.
• If you want the machine to work constantly, please adjust the humidity level down to 30%, and then press “-” (See Page 9: Constant Dehumidification). Tap “+” to exit constant dehumidification mode.
• If the dehumidifier loses power accidentally, when turned on again, the dehumidifier will work on the last known configuration.

Dehumidification

• When the machine is dehumidifying, the dehumidification light goes on.
• You may see the dehumidification light is flashing. That means the dehumidification temporally pauses or the environmental humidity has reached the setting level. Please wait until the machine completes the startup or until the humidity level rises up again.
• The dehumidifier will control the fan speed according to the environmental temperature and humidity.

Defrosting

• When the evaporator coil or the environmental temperature is too low, frost may appear on the evaporator. This will lower the effectiveness of the dehumidification. The machine will start defrosting until the temperature goes back to normal.
• When the machine is defrosting, the dehumidification pauses. The dehumidification
  light goes off, and the defrosting light will go on. • Do not turn off the machine during defrosting process
