The collected condensate is then removed by an integral condensate pump. Figures 1. to 4. Show the general layout of the dehumidifiers externally and internally. Figure 1. General layout of MD units with front grille removed Figure 2. General layout of MD units Page 3...

To prevent the evaporator coil freezing below design range conditions, a low pressure cut-out is included in the refrigeration system. This detects if the condensate is freezing on the evaporator and stops the compressor. The coil is allowed to thaw passively before the compressor is restarted.

If the level of the condensate in the pump drain pan becomes excessively high, the warning light on the front panel lights up, Figure 10. If this occurs refer to section 6.2. Page 6 QA/IOM/46 Issue 11 - MD Dehumidifier...
1.5. Performance The MD range of Dehumidifiers has been designed to operate between the following conditions: Dry Bulb Temperature Relative Humidity (%) ( C) Lower Limit Upper Limit This corresponds to an approximate minimum wet bulb temperature of 13 C and maximum of 31 C.
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS This section describes the practical operation of the MD range of dehumidifiers. 3.1. Siting of the dehumidifier The dehumidifiers should never be moved down slopes as they may become unstable and fall over. To move from one level to another they must be lifted by an appropriate lifting device operated by a competent person.
Fan only mode may be chosen if the humidity level in the conditioned space has been lowered to the required level but it is still desirable to have air movement within the space to minimise stratification or air stagnation. Page 10 QA/IOM/46 Issue 11 - MD Dehumidifier...
The MD100 is suitable for running from a 13 Amp supply socket. Both the MD160 and MD200 should be hard-wired from a 20 Amp supply. Wiring diagrams for the MD100, MD160 andMD200 are shown in figures 7. to 9. Page 11 QA/IOM/46 Issue 11 - MD Dehumidifier...

The panels must never be removed when the mains power is connected. Turn the dehumidifier off and either remove the plug from the socket or isolate the supply when access is required. Page 15 QA/IOM/46 Issue 11 - MD Dehumidifier...
Condensate pump failure. This requires an engineer to investigate Drain pan overflows: Condensate high level switch failure Float switches are located within the pump drain pan and require an engineer to check their operation Page 16 QA/IOM/46 Issue 11 - MD Dehumidifier...
