When the water tank is full, the unit will stop operation, the air outlet louver will close and a buzzer will sound. To reset, remove the water tank, empty and replace. When the empty water tank is put back into the unit, it will restart. Note that the compressor will take about 3 minutes to operate.

Auto defrost

  • If the unit is used in a low-temperature environment, the internal evaporator may be covered by frost. In order to make sure the machine operates normally, the machine has an auto-defrost function. Should the internal sensor detect a temperature of ≤-1 °C the machine will enter auto-defrost function. That means it will run continuously in the dehumidification mode for 30 minutes, then the machine will start the defrost cycle, the DEFROST light will illuminate, the compressor will stop and that fan will operate at high speed.
  • When the temperature of the evaporator is ≥2 °C and the unit has been in the defrost mode for 10 minutes, the auto-defrost mode will turn off and the compressor will turn on. At this point, the unit will start to dehumidify and the DEFROST light will turn off.
  • While in the defrost mode and the temperature of the evaporator is ≥0 °C for two minutes, the defrost function is canceled.

Compressor protection function

  • Should there be a problem with the unit causing the compressor to stop, the compressor will turn off for 5 minutes.
  • Normally the compressor will restart after 5 minutes, if it does not unplug the unit for an hour and try again. If it still does not start, call for service.

High/Low-temperature protection function

  • If the unit detects that the ambient temperature is outside of the normal operating range of 1°C to 39°C, it will shut down and the error code C2 will flash in the display.
  • When the normal operating range is reached, unplug the appliance from the mains supply for 30 seconds, reconnect the supply and turn the unit on.

Low humidity protection function

  • If the unit detects low humidity of <30 % the display will indicate LO and it will stop any dehumidifying action and the fan will operate a the lowest speed.
  • If the humidity is over 80 %, the display will indicate HI and keep dehumidifying.

High-temperature fan speed switch function

  • When the unit is dehumidifying in a high-temperature environment and the fan speed is set to low, it will switch automatically to the high speed.
  • This is to prevent excessive load on the compressor. When the ambient air temperature reduces, the fan speed will return to the low setting.

Error codes
There are a number of error codes that may appear in the display, these are as below. When the error code is displayed, it will flash. If any of these error codes are experienced, call for service.

  • C1 – Indicates that there is a fault with the evaporator temperature sensor. In this condition, the unit will stop working.
  • C2 – Indicates that there is a fault with the ambient air temperature sensor. In this condition, the unit will stop working.
  • C8 – The temperature of the evaporator is checked every 8 minutes, if this is within ≤3 °C of the ambient air temperature for 5 consecutive checks, the unit will shut down and the error code C8 is displayed.

Continuous drainage function

  • Should it be necessary to provide continuous drainage, this can be achieved by fitting a 15 mm inner diameter pipe to the drainage hole on the rear of the unit. When installed, water will drain through the pipe and not into the water tank.
  • Ensure that the drainage pipe runs in a downward direction, and it not bent or damaged in any way so that the water runs freely out of the unit.
  • When fitting the drainage pipe, make sure that it is pushed all the way into the drainage hole so that it pis ushed over the drain outlet which is located about 70mm inside the unit from the rear cover of the unit

Maintenance

When cleaning your dehumidifier:

  • Use a soft clean cloth.
  • Do not use the alcohol, gasoline, and other benzene chemical solvents.
  • To clean the filter, remove it, then use a vacuum cleaner to clear any dust that may have built up. If necessary, use water to clean it, then place it in a ventilated area until dry.
  • Unplug the unit from the main supply before cleaning.

Other advice

  • Before moving the unit, unplug the main supply and pull out the water in the tank.
  • If not using the unit for a long time, unplug the unit from the mains supply, empty the water tank, and wait for 2 days to make sure the unit inside is completely dry before packing.
  • Always store the unit in an upright position.
  • Do not tilt the unit horizontally or turn upside down.
  • If the unit requires repair, seek the help of a professional person.

Engineer information

Cabling

  • Ensure that any cabling is not subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. Also, be aware of any effects caused by aging or continual leaks.
  • A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) must not be used.

Detection of flammable refrigerants

  • DO NOT use any possible sources of ignition to search for refrigerant leaks.
  • A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) must not be used.

Leak detection methods

  • The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants.
  • Electronic leak detectors can be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate or may need re-calibration (detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area).
  • Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum) is confirmed.
  • Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine must be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipework.
  • If a leak is suspected, all naked flames must be removed/extinguished.
  • If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant gas must be recovered from the system, or isolated (using shut-off valves) in a part of the system both before and during the brazing process.

Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs- or for any other purpose – conventional procedures shall be used. However, best practices must be followed since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to:
Remove refrigerant.

  • Purge the circuit with inert gas.
  • Evacuate.
  • Purge again with inert gas.
  • Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
  • The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system shall be “flushed’ with OFN to render the unit safe.
  • This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task.
  • Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to the atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This processing shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system.
  • When the final OFN charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. This operation is vital if brazing operations on the pipework are to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources and there is ventilation available.

Charging procedures

  • In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed.
  • Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment.
  • Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
  • Cylinders must be kept upright.
  • Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed before charging the system with refrigerant.
  • Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
  • Extreme care must be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system.
  • Before recharging the system must be pressure tested with OFN.
  • The system must be leak tested on completion of charging but before commissioning. A follow-up leak test must be carried out before leaving the site.

Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, the engineer must be completely familiar with the equipment and all its details. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Before the task is carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample must be taken is case analysis is required before the re-use of reclaimed refrigerant. Electrical power must be available before the task is commenced.
Become familiar with the equipment and its operation. Isolate system electrically. Before attempting the procedure ensure that: Mechanical handling equipment is available and being used correctly the recovery process is always supervised by a competent person recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.

  • Pump down the refrigerant system, if possible.
  • If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system.
  • Make sure that the cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
  • Start the recovery machine and operate it per the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80% volume liquid charge).
  • Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
  • When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from the site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
  • Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.

Labeling
Equipment shall be labeled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.

Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerant into cylinders, and ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant, i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant. Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valves and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants.
In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult the manufacturer of in doubt. The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.

Fuses
The fuses below are mounted on the PWB.

  • FUSE 1: Walter 2010; AC 250V; T: 2A
