Industrial Dehumidifier

Electrical Requirements

For 115V operation, a common grounded outlet on a 15 amp circuit is required. If used in a wet area, a ground fault interrupter (GFI) is required.
Built in Electrical Safety
For your safety and protection this appliance is manufactured with a grounded plug on its power cord. The power cord must be plugged into a properly
grounded receptacle. If a grounded receptacle does not exist, have one installed by a certified electrician. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
on the power cord plug if equipped. We recommend that this electrical circuit/receptacle operate under a separate breaker or fuse.
If an extension cord is required, it must have a minimum of 14 gauge conductors if 25 feet long or less and 12 gauge conductors if greater than 25
feet long.
Limitations of Use
Temperature: 4°C to 35°C (40°F to 95°F)
Relative Humidity: 20 to 80%
Water Removal
The dehumidifier is equipped with an internal condensate pump to remove the water that is collected from the air. This allows the water to be pumped
20 feet with the attached hose. If the water needs to be pumped more than 20 feet above the unit, a second pump must be added to relay the water.
The condensate pump automatically purges for 20 seconds every four minutes.
Operation
Place dehumidifier inside area to be dried. Make sure all windows and doors are closed to the
outside and seal off the wet area from any unaffected areas. Route condensate hose into a drain, or
a very large container.
OFF Mode
The unit is OFF but plugged in a 120V AC power source. The back light of the display panel in on.
See figure 1.
Start-up Mode
The dehumidifier is turned on by pressing the power button (figure 2). When the dehumidifier is
started, the display will briefly show the software version # and the unit status (figure 3), followed
by a 55 second countdown and unit status (figure 4) then the cumulative hours and unit status
(figure 5).
Pressing the power button during the first minute will cause the unit to go into OFF Mode
immediately. Display will show "unit off" (figure 1).
Normal Run Mode
During Normal Run Mode the compressor is running causing the evaporator to get cold resulting in
condensate forming on the coil.
The unit will stay in normal run mode for variable length of time depending on the ambient conditions.
Pressing the power button (figure 1) will send the unit in shut down mode (Figure 6)
Defrost Mode
During the defrost mode, the display show that the unit is in defrost mode (figure 7). Defrost will activate
when the evaporator coil surface temperature goes below -2oC. The compressor will shut off and remain
off until the coil surface temperature reaches 10oC of or 15 minutes have elapse (which ever occurs first).
Long defrost mode
Heavy frosting on the coil can be expected during low ambient conditions and will not affect the
operation of the unit.
