Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Tes Drying Systems E-TES SD 120 Volt Low Profile Electric Thermal Energy System. This manual is a guide for safe operation and maintenance of this unit. Read and understand this manual completely before operating this unit.
Warranty Your E-TES SD 120 Volt Low Profile Electric Thermal Exchanger is designed to give you years of reliable service. If a problem should arise use the troubleshooting section in the operation manual to diagnose and correct the problem if possible. If you are unable to determine the cause or solution to the problem contact your distributor or Tes Drying Systems for assistance.
Examine the electric outlet before connecting your E-TES SD. A Loose fitting or damaged outlet can cause the power cord to overheat. Do not use a loose fitting or damaged outlet. If necessary, have an electrician repair the outlet before connecting your E-TES SD to prevent cord or outlet damage.

REMOTE EXHAUST CONTROLLER: This allows you to set the temperature at which the E-TES SD will send a signal to turn on a remote exhaust fan. The Remote Exhaust Controller can be located up to 100 yards away from the E-TES SD unit and control electrical devices with a total amp load up to 15amps.
DUAL CIRCUIT INDICATOR: The amp draw of the two circuits of the E-TES SD 120 Volt unit requires that the two power cords be plugged into separate outlets. To assist you in determining if the cords are plugged into separate circuits, The E-TES SD 120 Volt unit is now equipped with a dual circuit indicator.
If your USB Flash Drive is protected by a password, you will need to temporarily disable the password to connect it to the E-TES SD. This goes for installing the activation key, installing updates, and downloading the job data.
DATA CHARTING: The E-TES SD now has the ability to measure and store data regarding the operating status of the unit and the environmental conditions during the drying process. The E-TES SD will hold up to one month of continuous operational data.
Page 21
The jobs files are sorted by the serial number of the E-TES SD unit from which the data was retrieved. Serial numbers starting with “2” are 240 volt units and serial numbers starting with “1” are 120 volt units. The jobs are listed by either file name or date.

120°F, the SURFACE TEMPERATURE LIMIT was set at 95°F, and the MOISTURE 1 LIMIT and MOISTURE 2 LIMIT were set at 15%. The RH or Relative humidity stayed around 15 to 20%. The INTERNAL TEMPERATURE stayed around 80-90°F. The E-TES unit never had the AIR FLOW turn off or an OVERTEMP condition.
1) Read and understand the Remote Probe connection procedures and Menu Navigation in SECTION #2 before proceeding with set-up and operation. 2) Place the E-TES SD unit as required for your drying situation. (SEE SET-UP SECTION #2) 3) Connect Remote Sensors as needed, place Remote Sensors in desired locations.

5) Make sure E-TES SD unit power switch is in the OFF position, and then connect the receptacle end of the GFCI cords to E-TES SD unit. Reset GFCI on both power cords. Push TEST button to test GFCI and if RESET button pops out and the red FAULT Indicator light turns on, push RESET button back in and proceed with set-up.
(See SECTION 2 for Instruction on how to set activation points.) 8) If you are planning using the data files which the E-TES SD will log during this job, check the current date & time on the E-TES SD display. Set time & date to correct settings.

If the two red lights are OFF, but the HEATING light does not come on, make sure you have power to E-TES SD and the green POWER light is ON. Check your set points on your remote sensors. One or more of them may be reading beyond their set point and have shut off the power to the heating elements.

E-TES SD 120 VOLT INDICATOR LIGHT PANEL CONFIGURATIONS E-TES SD INDICATOR LIGHTS: During normal operation both Green lights will be ON when the unit is heating. POWER LIGHT When the green POWER light is ON, the switch is on and power is being supplied to the unit.
Page 31
OVERTEMP In some situations when the air flow is too low and the AIRFLOW light comes ON, the E-TES will also over heat POWER and cause the OVERTEMP light to come ON too.
Page 32
When the temperature cools sufficiently or the moisture level rises the green HEATING light will turn back ON and the unit will again heat up. The power supply to the E-TES SD unit has been cut off. Check the building circuit breakers and the GFCI cords POWER and reset as needed.
E-TES SD 120 Re-initializing the Memory On occasion the memory on the E-TES SD units will need to be re-initialized. When this happens, the E- TES SD will not function and the display will show the Start-up Error screen when the power switch is turned on or will not accept new software updates.
Page 34
Update Screen. Once the memory is re-initialized and the software is updated the unit should advance to the main screen and operate normally. If not, contact you E-TES SD distributor for advice or assistance. E-TES SD...
E-TES SD machines have a small hole in the front face plate just above the USB port and below the indicator light. With the E-TES SD unplugged and the Power Switch in the OFF position, poke a toothpick or paper clip through the small hole to push the reset button behind the front faceplate.
Three jumpers used to convert circuit board for use with 120vac must be in the positions shown for proper operation of E-TES SD unit. Circuit board may be damaged if board is used with jumpers in the wrong position The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated.

7. Place remote sensors for air temperature, surface temperature and moisture level as needed in desired locations. Connect the sensors to the E-TES SD 120 Volt unit. 8. Turn on the E-TES SD unit and adjust the set points for each of the remote sensors as required for your application.

8. Adjust the set points for each of the remote sensors as required for your application. 9. If you have a crawlspace to place an E-TES SD or can direct more heated airflow below the floor, it will aid in the drying process.

(Evaporation) 1. We are getting air movement with two pieces of equipment – the air mover / E-TES SD box and also the floor drying panel system. We are heating the water to cause the evaporation, but the floor drying panel system is removing the vapor from the floor by providing airflow through the interspatial cavities in the floor.
Page 54
Step #2 - Energy applied directly to the water (Temperature) 1. Insert the snout of the E-TES SD unit into the large opening of the Flexi Dry. Secure the Flexi Dry to the E-TES SD snout with the Velcro strap and the carpet clamp. Seal the ends of the Flexi Dry to prevent air leaking.
