Electrical connection

 

The machine is connected to the earthed 230V/50Hz socket. K5 HP PX can be connected to a 10A, 
max 16A, fuse. Electronic control delays the start approx. 2 minutes. 

 

Starting and operating 

 

Operating range humidity: 30-100% RH  

 

Operating range temperature: +9 °C to +38 °C 

 

The dryer must reach ambient temperature before starting, if stored in colder conditions. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.

 

Place the dryer on a firm and flat surface where it is not at risk of overturning. The surface 
should not be sensitive to water as some spillage may occur, for example when handling the 
bucket and condensation water hose. The dryer can be positioned against a wall as 
illustrated. In all other cases, the dryer must be placed at a distance of at least half (0.5) a 
metre from walls and ceilings to ensure that air can circulate. 

2.

 

If possible, close doors and windows etc. to use all the dehumidification capacity in the 
intended space rather than to dry the whole house/building. To minimise power 
consumption, try to ensure that the ambient temperature is approximately 20°C. 

3.

 

If using a condensation water hose, ensure that it is routed to a drain, sink or similar frost-
free runoff for continuous operation. 

4.

 

For continuous operation, set the operation selector to I (Man), the upper position. When 
using a hygrostat, set the selector to position II (Hyg), the lower position, connect the 
hygrostat and set the desired setpoint on it. 

5.

 

The ambient temperature must be +9°C to +38°C. 

 

 

The machine must be transported upright and must always be upright during operation.
