How the Dehumidifier Works

The dehumidifier utilizes its integral humidistat to monitor the conditioned space. Once conditions are outside the desired setpoint, the compressor energizes and air is drawn across an evaporator coil. The evaporator coil is cooler than the dew point of the air so the water vapor turns into liquid condensation. The air is then reheated through the condenser coil and distributed back into the room.

Guidelines

Operation Notes

• Always make sure that the unit is operated, transported, and stored on a stable surface.
• For maximum efficiency, operate the unit with all windows and doors closed.
• Do not place the unit anywhere that may block the inlet or outlet airflow.

Drain Hose Notes

• The Dehumidifier is equipped with an external drain line connection, making it easy to plug in.
• The drain line can be directed outside or into any sink, drain, etc.
• For more effective draining, uncoil the entire hose before using.
• Never place the end of the hose higher than 15 feet.
• Always ensure that the drain hose is not blocked prior to use.

Transportation Notes

• Always secure the dehumidifier during transportation.
• If the unit is transported vertically, return it to a normal horizontal position, and let sit for 30 minutes prior to use.

LCD Display Instructions

1. When the machine is powered on but not working:

After power on, a buzzer makes a sound. The boot display shows the AlorAir LOGO interface, which disappears after 2 seconds. The machine then displays a "UNIT OFF" screen, indicating it is not working but has power.

2. Main interface display of dehumidification state:

When the machine is working, the display shows:

• 000 JOB HRS: Refers to the working time, defined as the time from starting up to shutting down, including defrost and standby time. Total time is 9999 hours, resetting automatically after restart.
• 000 LIFE HRS: Refers to the total working time in hours.
• IN/OUT: Displays the temperature (°F) and moisture content (gr/lb) of the air inlet and outlet.
• Set: Displays the set humidity percentage.

If the main interface does not operate for 10 minutes, the screen will go blank. Press any key to wake up.

Other icons may light up or flicker when opened.

3. Dehumidification status submenu interface display:

3.1 Device Name

The device name displayed on the screen can be changed on the APP application.

3.2 Job Hours

Displays the working time of the main interface and the working time of the main interface and the working time of the main interface. Press ">" to reset. Hold to reset.

3.3 Coil Temp

Displays the current temperature of the coil. If it is below zero, the "-" symbol is displayed. If it is below zero, the symbol is displayed in front. "*" is not required on zero.

3.4 WiFi Hotspot

Factory setting is "OFF". Press ">" to enable the Wi-Fi hotspot and switch ON/OFF. The device can transmit data and receive APP commands. The icon flickers when connected on the main interface. After successful connection, the icon displays normally.

3.5.1 Power Down Time

The power down time is adjusted according to ">". The power down time increases from 3 to 20 minutes (3-5-10-15-20). This is the stop time of the fan after shutdown, to better drain the water. Factory set for 3 minutes. (The other state of the fan is still 15 seconds.)

3.5.2 Powering Down

The screen displays when you press shut down. The fan closes after a few minutes, and the standby page "UNIT OFF" is displayed after the fan is closed.

3.6 Temp Units

Used for temperature scale switching. Press the ">" button to switch between °F / °C. The corresponding symbol changes.

3.7 Moisture Content Units

Used to switch the unit of GPP value with moisture content. Press ">" to switch between LB or KG. The corresponding symbol changes.

3.8 Humidistat Setpoint

Used for setting dehumidification mode humidity. Press ">" to set the humidity. The adjustment range is between 25% and 80%. Each key rises or falls 5%, which can be recycled. "CO" indicates continuous mode.

When the setting is completed, do not operate for 5 seconds to take effect. If the humidity is below 25%, "CO" mode is recyclable. The main interface displays the set parameters.

4. Main interface frosting status display:

The machine displays this after defrost when running. When the machine is running normally, "DEFROST SHUTDOWN IN 06:00" will appear in the interface after defrosting. It's a defrost countdown in seconds. This screen displays only 3 seconds. Displays the previous interface and status after restoration. If it is the home screen, the frost icon will flash.

When the user is operating in the submenu, the machine is in the frosting state. At this point, the frosting interface displays for 3 seconds and returns to the submenu program in the background countdown. When the user returns to the main interface without any operation, the frosting state is displayed in the main interface by the frost icon flashing.

5. Compressor on waiting interface display

Compressor protection time not shown: "Compressor ready IN 03:00" indicates that the interface will be displayed when the compressor is in a protected state (including power-on and shutdown, humidity rises immediately after the arrival of LO/HI, and shutdown resumes immediately after the emergence of LO/HI). Displays the countdown in seconds. If the above situation does not occur within 3 minutes, it is not shown.

6. Water Pump working interface display

Compressor protection time not shown: "Pump working countdown" indicates that no matter in which working state and interface, as long as the pump works, this interface appears and counts down to 28 seconds. However, the interface only displays the previous working status and interface after 3 seconds. For example, after 3 seconds, there is a drainage icon on the main interface and it will flash until the drainage is finished.

7. Interface display in case of failure

Machine running time fault display: Fault codes like E1, E4, LO, HI, E5 are displayed. Make fault judgment and take corresponding actions after starting up. Regardless of the state, the fault is executed first and the fault code is displayed on the interface. If there is a fault in the sub-menu operation, it immediately returns to this interface display fault (including defrosting state). The fault is judged when the pump works, and the fault is displayed as usual, but the pump needs to complete the water pumping this time. Multiple faults can be displayed at the same time.

Description of fault display:

• Humidity sensor fault (E1): When the humidity sensor unit fault or signal cannot be transmitted, the fault is judged to be E1. The machine is out of operation (power on again after troubleshooting). Pump button can operate.
• Ambient temperature T≤2 (LO): When the sensor continuously detects the ambient temperature of inlet air T≤2 degrees for 600 seconds, the fault is judged to be LO and the whole machine is stopped. Other values, corresponding to the temperature region operation (recoverable). At this time, the interface cannot be operated. The pump button can be operated.
• Ambient temperature T≥45 (HI): When the sensor continuously detects the inlet air environment temperature T≥45 degrees for 15 seconds, the fault is judged to be HI and the whole machine is stopped. Other values, corresponding to the temperature region operation (recoverable). At this time, the interface cannot be operated. The pump button can be operated.
• E5 Error Code: Refrigerant Leak. Contact Your Installer for Assistance.
