ML180-MLT350 Dehumidifiers 2.10 Installation Examples 2.10.1 Closed System The closed airflow system is mainly used where the room to be dehumidified contains little or no ventilation, and is partially sealed. Munters A closed airflow system offers the advantage of simple design and therefore low installation costs.
Refer to the unit identification plate if in doubt. ML180 & MLT350 dehumidifiers are supplied complete with a pre- wired mains cable. The cable is fitted with a multi-pin plug suitable for connection to a single phase earthed mains socket.
20VAC, a separate relay controlled by the humdistat must be used. 2.13 Pre-Start settings ML180-MLT350 units are equipped with a number of standard features requiring a few selections and settings before the unit is put in operation for the first time.
6.5, Technical Specifications. If required contact Munters Product Service to receive help with commissioning the dehumidifier installation, see addresses on the back cover of this manual for your local Munters representative. CAUTION! Failure to correctly adjust the process and reactivation airflows could cause the unit to malfunction.

ML180-MLT350 Dehumidifiers 3 Operation 3.1 General The ML180-MLT350 dehumidifiers are equipped with a control panel that contains mode switches and LED indicators. The mode switch of the control panel has two operating modes: MAN (Manual mode) The dehumidifiers fan, rotor and reactivation heater operate continuously with full capacity.
ML180-MLT350 Dehumidifiers 5. Operate the run/stop switch to the position and check that the unit stops and that the unit running indicator goes out. For details on the Control panel, see figure 3-1, Control Panel. 3.5.2 Automatic Mode - Humidistat For the unit to operate in the AUTOmatic mode a one-step humidistat must be installed and correctly connected to the unit.
ML180-MLT350 Dehumidifiers 5. Operate the run/stop switch to the position and check that the unit stops and that the unit running indicator goes out. 6. Reset the RH98 to the desired set-point. For details on the Control panel, see figure 3-1, Control Panel.
Maintenance interval lengths are primarily determined by operating conditions and the environment in which the unit is installed. When in doubt, consult Munters’ product service department. See addresses for Munters representatives on the back cover of this manual. 4.2 Safety...
