Timed dehumidifying operation to the
desired humidity level
When the timer is set, the machine will operate
according to the humidity set point (
see
page 5, step 2
), only after the Timing On time
and before the Timing Off time. Before the
Timing On time and after the Timing Off time,
the machine is in standby mode. Unless the
power supply cord is unplugged, the machine
remembers all set points in the standby mode
and will automatically operate according to the
timer setup every day.
You can manually override the timer function
to start or stop the dehumidifying function
by pressing the
POWER
button. The machine
resumes to the timer mode in the next 24-hour
cycle.
Automatic Defrost
The unit will automatically go into defrost
mode when frost forms on the evaporator coil.
The screen shows “
Defrost
.” After 15 minutes
of defrost time the unit will resume operation.
When in the defrost mode, the unit does not
dehumidify.
Continuously dehumidify operation
When the machine is in continuous operation,
the desired humidity set point is still
remembered but is deactivated. The machine
will continuously dehumidify, no matter what
the humidity set point is, until it is manually
powered off or timed off.
1.
Press the
CONTINUOUS OPERATION
button
to enter the continuous operation mode.
The screen will show “
Continuous
.”
Run
2.
Press the
CONTINUOUS OPERATION
button
again to deactivate continuous operation.
The machine goes back to the mode of
operating according to the humidity set
point.
When there is a frost buildup, the machine
will be forced to stop dehumidifying and start
defrosting automatically. The screen shows
the machine in “
Defrost
” process under
“
Continuous
” mode. After the defrost function
ends, “
Defrost
” disappears from the screen
while “
Continuous
” still shows.
Automatic Restart
In the event of a power failure, the machine
will remember what the humidity set point was
and whether the unit was in operating mode
before the power failure.
When power is restored, if the unit was
operating before the power failure, it
automatically restarts to operate according to
the humidity set point in the non-timed mode.
If the unit was not operating before the power
failure, the unit remains in non-working
condition.
Current Time, Timing On, Timing Off and
Continuous Operation set points will not be
remembered when power failure occurs. They
must be reset when the power is restored.
The Automatic Restart feature allows the unit
to be used with controllers and timers.
On/Off Delay
If the system is turned off after running and
you wish to turn it on again, there is a 3-minute
delay before restart as protection to the
working components of the unit.
