How the Storm SLGR 1250X Works

The Storm SLGR 1250X 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 Storm SLGR 1250X 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.

Press ">" to set the humidity. The adjustment range is between 25% and 80%. Each key rises or falls 5%, which can be recycled. When the setting is completed, do not operate for 5 seconds and it begins to take effect. (Otherwise, the compressor will shut down immediately if ambient humidity is below the set point). Humidity below 25% uses "CO" mode (continuous mode). The main interface displays the set parameters.

4. Main interface frosting status display:

The machine will display this after defrost when running.

[Display Description: Screen shows "DEFROSTING" and "Defrost Shutdown In 06:00".] When the machine is running normally, "Defrost SHUTDOWN IN 06:00" will appear in the interface after defrosting. This is a defrost countdown using seconds as units. This screen displays for only 3 seconds. It then 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 a submenu, the machine is in the frosting state. At this point, the frosting interface displays for 3 seconds and returns to the submenu program with a background countdown. When the user returns to the main interface without any operation, the frosting state is displayed on the main interface by a flashing icon.

5. Compressor on waiting interface display:

Compressor protection time not shown:

[Display Description: Screen shows "RESTARTING" and "Compressor ready In 03:00".] "Compressor ready IN 03:00" indicates that this interface will be displayed when the compressor is in a protected state (e.g., after power-on, shutdown, or when humidity rises/falls rapidly). It displays a countdown in seconds. If the situation does not occur within 3 minutes, it is not shown.

6. Water Pump working interface display:

Compressor protection time not shown:

[Display Description: Screen shows "PURGING SYSTEM" and "Staring 28 second" with a "Purge Cycle" button.] "Pump working countdown": Indicates that regardless of the working state or 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, a drainage icon appears on the main interface and flashes until drainage is finished.

Important Notes for Water Pump:

• Unplugging the unit without running the shutdown sequence will allow water to remain in the unit after use.
• Tilting the unit more than 70 degrees on the handle side or more than 20 degrees on the non-handle side may result in water spillage.
• Tilting the unit without running the final purge may result in water spillage.

7. Interface display in case of failure:

Machine running time fault display:

[Display Description: A grid shows fault codes E1, E4, E5, LO, HI.] 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 during sub-menu operation, the interface immediately returns to display the fault (including defrosting state). If the fault occurs when the pump is working, the fault is displayed as usual, but the pump needs to complete the water pumping for this cycle. Multiple faults can be displayed simultaneously.

Description of fault display:

• Humidity sensor fault: When the humidity sensor unit fault or signal cannot be transmitted, the fault is judged to be E1. The machine stops operation (power on again after troubleshooting). The pump button can operate.
• Ambient temperature T≤2°F: When the sensor continuously detects the ambient temperature of the inlet air at T=2 degrees for 600 seconds, the fault is judged to be LO, and the whole machine stops. Other values correspond to temperature region operation (recoverable). At this time, the interface cannot be operated. The pump button can be operated.
• Ambient temperature T≥45°F: When the sensor continuously detects the inlet air environment temperature at T=45 degrees for 15 seconds, the fault is judged to be HI, and the whole machine stops. Other values correspond to temperature region operation (recoverable). At this time, the interface cannot be operated. The pump button can be operated.
