How the Storm Extreme Works

The Storm LGR Extreme 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

• Storm LGR Extreme 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.

Control Panel Guide

The control panel features several buttons for operating the dehumidifier:

• Power Button: Used to turn the dehumidifier on and off. Can also be pressed to return to the main screen from a sub-menu.
• Set Button: Used to confirm selections and set the humidity level. Pressing it increases the humidity level by 5% (range 35%-90%), with a default of 50%.
• Manual Drain Button: Press to remove water from the integral pump reservoir, typically before moving or storing the machine.
• Menu Button: Cycles through different display interfaces and 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:

To power off the machine, press the power button while on the main display screen. The display will show:

2. Setting Up the Unit

Once the machine powers on, the display shows:

• UNIT ON: Indicates the unit is powered on.
• 00.0 HRS: Describes the time the machine has been running since power on. This includes defrosting time but not standby time. It can be reset and accumulates up to 99.9 hours before resetting to zero.
• INLET 00°C 00%: Displays the temperature and humidity of the inlet air. Temperature measurement (°F/°C) can be switched in a sub-menu.
• When in a sub-menu, press the power key to return to the main menu.

3. Defrosting Screen

When the unit enters defrosting mode, it shows "Defrost 000", indicating a countdown until defrosting is finished. After completion, it returns to the main interface. If you are in a sub-menu, the countdown will not be visible until you return to the main interface.

Display during defrosting: UNIT ON | DEFROST 00HRS | 000

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

Display when waiting for defrost: WAIT FOR DEFROST 000

4. Compressor

This screen indicates the time until the compressor starts running.

Display: PLEASE WAIT | COMP DELAY 000

5. Pump

This screen shows the remaining time before the pump has completed working. The countdown starts at 14 seconds.

Display: PUMP PURGING 00

Using the Display Sub-Menus

1. Job Hours

This screen allows you to clear the job hours. Select ">" to clear the hours. This action clears hours on the main screen, and "RESET" will no longer display on the sub-menu. "RESET" reappears after hours accumulate again.

Display example: JOB HOURS | RESET?>

2. Life Hours

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

Display example: LIFE HOURS | 00000 0HRS

3. Inlet/Outlet Temperatures

"INLET 00.00%" describes the temperature of the air inlet.

"OUTLET 00°00%" describes the temperature of the air outlet.

Display example: INLET 00° 00% | OUTLET 00° 00%

4. Humidistat Mode

"Humidistat set point 00%": Used to set the humidity in dehumidification mode. Press the ">" button to set humidity. The range is 25%-80% and CO %. Each press increases humidity by 5%. Settings take effect if not changed within 5 seconds.

Display example: HUMIDISTAT SETPOINT 25%

To switch to continuous operation mode, press the ">" button to lower humidity below 25%. The display will show CO %, indicating continuous mode.

Display example: HUMIDISTAT SETPOINT CO%

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%) using the ">" button.

5. Temperature Measurement

This screen switches temperature measurement between °C and °F. Press the ">" button to switch.

Display example: TEMP UNITS C>

6. Language

Choose your preferred language. Press the (>) button to switch between German, Spanish, and English.

Display example: LANGUAGE ENGLISH

7. Coil Temperature

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

Display example: COIL TEMP -0 0° C
