Industrial Dehumidifier
Electrical Requirements
For 115V operation, a common grounded outlet on a 15 amp circuit is required. If used in a wet area, a ground fault interrupter (GFI) is required.
Built in Electrical Safety
For your safety and protection this appliance is manufactured with a grounded plug on its power cord. The power cord must be plugged into a properly
grounded receptacle. If a grounded receptacle does not exist, have one installed by a certified electrician. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
on the power cord plug if equipped. We recommend that this electrical circuit/receptacle operate under a separate breaker or fuse.
If an extension cord is required, it must have a minimum of 14 gauge conductors if 25 feet long or less and 12 gauge conductors if greater than 25
feet long.
Limitations of Use
Temperature: 4°C to 35°C (40°F to 95°F)
Relative Humidity: 20 to 80%
Water Removal
The dehumidifier is equipped with an internal condensate pump to remove the water that is collected from the air. This allows the water to be pumped
20 feet with the attached hose. If the water needs to be pumped more than 20 feet above the unit, a second pump must be added to relay the water.
The condensate pump automatically purges for 20 seconds every four minutes.

Built in Electrical Safety
For your safety and protection this appliance is manufactured
with a grounded plug on its power cord. The power cord must
be plugged into a properly grounded receptacle. If a ground-
ed receptacle does not exist, have one installed by a certified
electrician. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong on the
power cord plug if equipped. We recommend that this electri-
cal circuit/receptacle operate under a separate breaker or
fuse.
If an extension cord is required, it must have a minimum of
14 gauge conductors if 25 feet long or less and 12 gauge
conductors if greater than 25 feet long.
Electrical Requirements
For 115V operation, a common grounded outlet on a 15 amp
circuit is required. The dehumidifier draws approx. 8 amps at
80°F, 60% RH. If used in a wet area, a ground fault inter-
rupter (GFI) is required.
Power Button (Fig. 1)
The dehumidifier is turned on or off by
pressing the power button. When the
dehumidifier is started, the hour meter will
display the cumulative hours.
Pump Purge Button (Fig. 2)
In normal operation, the pump will automat-
ically empty the reservoir. Pressing this but-
ton allows manual emptying of the reservoir.
Press once, and the pump will operate for
20 seconds. Press and hold the button and
the pump will activate for 30 seconds.
Always manually purge the water reservoir
before transport or storage. Turn off the
power and allow the plugged in dehumidifier
to rest 5 minutes before the final purge.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
Place dehumidifier inside area to be dried. Make sure all win-
dows and doors are closed to the outside and seal off the wet
area from any unaffected areas. Route condensate hose into
a drain, or a very large container. Press the On/Off button
(Fig. 1) to activate the dehumidifier.
OPERATION

Fig. 2
Digital Hour Counter (Fig. 3)
The counter will accumulate and display the total running hours
of the unit in 1/10 of an hour.
Hour Button (Fig. 4)
Press the HOURS button when the dehu-
midifier cannot be plugged in and the hour
meter needs to be read. The digital hour
meter will display the last saved cumulative
time for ten seconds.
Defrost Indicator (Fig. 5)
The defrost indicator will light to indicate the
dehumidifier is in defrost cycle. During this
period, the compressor is not running.
Defrost Cycle
When ice builds up on the coils, a thermistor activates the elec-
tronic control and defrost light. The compressor is turned off by
the thermistor temperature measurement. The blower will contin-
ue to run, causing air to flow through the evaporator coil and melt
the ice. When the ice is melted, the thermistor will end the defrost
cycle and the compressor will be started.
Disconnect dehumidifier from power supply. The hour meter uses
a battery backup for display when the dehumidifier is unplugged
and the hour button is depressed. To change the battery, it is nec-
essary to remove the four (4) screws from the control panel.
Disconnect the old battery and replace with new battery. Replace
control panel and screws. Do not overtighten screws.
Water Removal
The dehumidifier is equipped with an internal condensate pump
to remove the water that is collected from the air. This allows the
water to be pumped 20 feet with the attached hose. If the water
needs to be pumped more than 20 feet above the unit, a second
pump must be added to relay the water. The condensate pump
automatically purges for 20 seconds every four minutes.

Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
WARNING
Disconnect power supply before replacing battery.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Battery Replacement
(1)
Place dehumidifier inside area to be dried. Make sure all windows and doors are closed to the
outside and seal off the wet area from any unaffected areas. Route condensate hose into a drain, or
a very large container. Press the On/Off button (figure 1) to activate the dehumidifier.
Start-up Mode
The dehumidifier is turned on or off by pressing the power button (figure 1). When the dehumidifier
is started, the hour meter will briefly display the software version #, followed by the cumulative
hours.
Pressing the power button during the first minute, the unit will go into OFF Mode immediately.
Run Mode
During Run Mode the compressor is running causing the evaporator to get cold resulting in
condensate forming on the coil.
The unit will stay in run mode for variable length of time depending on the ambient conditions.
Pressing the power button (figure 1) will send the unit in shut down mode (see below)
Defrost Mode
During the defrost mode, the indicator light will turn on (figure 2), the compressor will be off and the fan
will continue to run. The pump purge will be activated automatically.
The defrost cycle runs every 45 minutes in cool ambient temperature, less often in warm ambient
temperature and the length of time in defrost will vary appropriately.
Heavy frosting on the coil can be expected during low ambient conditions and will not affect the
operation of the unit.
