How the Hurricane LGR85 Works

The Hurricane LGR85 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 will turn 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.

Parts Diagram

The dehumidifier has the following components:

• Handle: For carrying the unit.
• Air outlet: Where dehumidified air is expelled.
• Temp/RH sensor: Measures ambient temperature and relative humidity.
• Air inlet: Where ambient air is drawn into the unit.
• Air Filter: Filters air before it passes over the evaporator coil.
• Control Panel: Interface for operating the unit.
• Condensate Drain Line Quick Connect: Port for attaching a drain hose.
• Power Socket: Connection for the power cord.

Control Panel Guide

The control panel features several buttons and a display:

• Power Button ?: Turns the dehumidifier on and off. Can also be used to return to the main screen from a sub-menu.
• Set Button ▶️: Confirms selections and sets the humidity level. Each press increases humidity by 5% (range 25%-80%). Default is 50%.
• Manual Drain Button ?: Used to remove water from the integral pump reservoir before moving or storing the machine.
• Menu Button ☰: Cycles through different display interfaces and accesses nine sub-menus: Job Hours, Life Hours, Inlet/Outlet Temperatures, Humidistat Mode, Humidity Setpoint, Temperature Measurement, Language, Coil Temperature, Compressor Current.

Using the Display - Main Screen

1. Power On and Off

• To power on the machine, press the power button once. The display will show: "POWER ON".
• To power off the machine, press the power button while on the main display screen. The display will show: "UNIT OFF".

2. Setting Up the Unit

Once the machine has powered on, the display will show:

UNIT ON 00.0HRS
INLET 00°C 00%

• UNIT ON: Indicates the unit is powered on.
• 00.0HRS: Describes the time the machine is running from power on to power off, including defrosting time. This working time can be reset via a sub-menu and accumulates up to 99.9 hours before resetting to zero.
• INLET 00°C 00%: Describes the temperature and humidity of the air inlet. Temperature measurement (°F/°C) can be switched in the sub-menu.
• When operating in a sub-menu, press the power key to return to the main menu.

3. Defrosting Screen

When the unit enters defrosting mode, it will show "Defrost 000" (a countdown). After defrost is completed, it will return to the main interface. If you are in a submenu, you will not see the countdown until you return to the main interface.

If you power the machine off while it is defrosting, the display will show "Wait for Defrost", indicating the unit will power off after defrost is completed.

4. Compressor

This screen indicates the amount of time until the compressor starts running (e.g., PLEASE WAIT COMP DELAY 000).

5. Pump

This screen indicates how much time is remaining before the pump has completed working. The countdown starts at 14 seconds (e.g., PUMP PURGING 00).

Using the Display Sub-Menus

1. Job Hours

This screen allows you to clear the job hours. Select ">" to clear. This will clear the hours on the main screen, and "RESET" will no longer display on the sub-menu. Once hours have accumulated, "RESET" will appear again.

2. Life Hours

"Life Hours" describes the total working time of the dehumidifier. The life hours cannot be cleared.

3. Inlet/Outlet Temperatures

• "INLET 00.00%": Describes the temperature of the air inlet.
• "OUTLET 00°00%": Describes the temperature of the air outlet.

4. Humidistat Mode

"Humidistat set point 00%": Used to set the humidity in dehumidification mode. Press the ">" button to set the humidity. The humidity setting range is between 25%-80% and CO %. Each time the button is pressed, the humidity will increase by 5%. The setting takes effect within 5 seconds if no further input is made.

To switch to continuous operation mode, press the ">" button to lower the humidity below 25%. The display will then show "CO %", indicating successful switching. In continuous mode, the dehumidifier runs regardless of ambient humidity. To end continuous operation, switch off the device or switch back to the humidity display (25%-80%) with the ">" button.

5. Temperature Measurement

This screen allows switching the temperature measurement between °C and °F. Press the ">" button to switch between the two measurements.

6. Language

From this screen, you can choose your preferred language. Press the (>) button to switch between German, Spanish, and English.

7. Coil Temperature

This screen shows the current temperature of the coils. If the temperature is below zero, it will show "-".

8. Compressor Current

This screen shows the working current of the compressor.

Maintenance Instructions

Before Use

• Check the power cord for signs of damage such as fraying. Replace the cord before use if there is any damage.
• Check the filter for signs of dirt or obstructions. Clean or replace the filter as necessary.
• Check the coils for signs of buildup. Clean if needed.

Cleaning the Machine Body

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use any soap or solvents.

Filter Maintenance

1. Unplug the unit.
2. Slide out the filter.
3. Check the filter for dirt and buildup.
4. For a Pre-Filter or MERV-8: Clean the filter mesh by vacuuming it or washing with warm water (no soap or cleaners). Gently shake the filter dry, then reinsert it.
5. For a Carbon, or HEPA Filter: If there is dirt or buildup, replace the filter.

Removing the Housing

1. Remove the screws on the housing.
2. Remove the screws on the air inlet grill and air outlet grill.

Coil Maintenance

• Once per year, clean the coils with an approved coil cleaner.
• Coil cleaner should be a self-rinsing, foaming cleaner such as WEB® Coil Cleaner.

Pump Maintenance

Pump Access:

Remove the screws on the housing, then lift off. Unplug the pump drain line, then remove the screws holding the pump in place.

Cleaning the Pump Reservoir:

Once the screws are removed, lift off the top of the pump and set aside. Use a paper towel to wipe off the base of the pump.

Error Codes

If there is an issue with the dehumidifier, one of the following error codes may appear:

• E1 Error: Humidity sensor error. The unit will not operate if an E1 code is present, however, you can still use the manual pump button.
• LO Error: Temperature sensor detects incoming air below the operating range (33°F). The unit will not operate if an LO code is present, however, you can still use the manual pump button. If the actual temperature is much higher than 33°F, replace the sensor.
• HI Error: Temperature sensor detects incoming air above the operating range (104°F). The unit will not operate if an HI code is present, however, you can still use the manual pump button. If the actual temperature is much lower than 105°F, replace the sensor.
• E5 Error Code: Indicates a refrigerant leak. The unit will run for 30 minutes to verify the issue, then power off.
• E4 Error Code: Indicates an issue with the pump, appearing when a high water level for the pump has been detected.

Troubleshooting
