Important information regarding the electrical connection
• The unit may only be connected to electrical feed points with a residual
current circuit breaker in compliance with DIN VDE 0100, Part 704.
• It must be ensured that the unit is safe when used in wet areas like utility
rooms, bathrooms or similar rooms by means of a suitable residual
current circuit breaker in compliance with existing regulations.
• Check the information provided on the identification plate of the unit and
make sure that the voltage and the current rating of the energy supply that
you wish to connect the unit to fulfil the necessary requirements before
you connect the unit to the power supply.
• If a generator is used to produce electricity, then it must have an output
of at least 5 kW because the unit’s starting current can exceed its
nominal current by as much as four or five times.
06. Operation
The central control elements comprise a mains switch and a control dial which
are both positioned on the right-hand side of the unit.
See fig. C
for a detailed
graphic depiction of the control elements.
07. Starting Up
Before starting up, please check the air intake and air outlet ducts for obstruc-
tions and check the air filter to ensure that it is not blocked or clogged. Blocked
or clogged filters or grilles must be cleaned immediately. See chapter 10
“Clean-
ing and Maintenance”
for further instructions.
Important information before starting up
• Cable extensions must have the required cross-section.
• Cable extensions must be completely unrolled.
Starting Up the Unit
1. These safety instructions must be observed at all times.
2. Connect the mains plug of the unit to a correctly fused socket
(230 V / 50 Hz / 16 A).
3. Installing a condensate discharge system.
Because the TTK 650 S has such a high dehumidification performance, the unit
is not equipped with an internal condensate tank. Please ensure that one of the
four following alternatives is provided so that the condensate can be either be
collected in an external tank or conducted away from the unit.
3.1. Collecting the condensate in an external tank
Place a suitably-sized tank (>100 litres) below the water discharge point at the
bottom of the unit
(see fig. C.6)
. Connect one end of the water discharge hose
included in the scope of delivery
(see fig. C.7)
to the water discharge point at
the bottom of the unit and hang the other end of the hose over the tank or place
it in the tank so that the water can drain off from the unit without causing any
damage to the location where the unit has been installed.
Please make sure that the water level in the tank is checked regularly and that
the tank is emptied before the water that has been collected runs over. The
tank will have to be checked and emptied more often when humidity levels in
the room are higher and the dehumidification performance is greater.
3.2. Conducting the condensate into a drain
Connect one end of the water discharge hose included in the scope of delivery
to the water discharge point at the bottom of the unit and connect the other end
of the hose to a drain so that the water can drain off from the unit without
causing any damage to the location where the unit has been installed.
Please make sure that the water discharge hose slopes downwards all the way
to the drain so that the water can drain off properly. You may wish to connect
another hose of the same type depending on the distance to the drain.
3.3. Using an automatic condensate pump to dispose of the condensate
There is an automatic condensate pump available as an optional accessory.
The pump is suitable for use during non-stop operation. When you use a con-
densate pump, please make sure that you follow the separate instructions that
come with the pump.
4. Press the mains switch to mode “I”
(see fig. C.5)
.
5. To start dehumidifying turn the control dial to the desired setting
(see fig. D.5)
.
The unit is now in operation and will now run according to the setting you have
selected. To turn off the unit press the mains switch to mode “0”.
Important information regarding operating the unit
• The unit will not start up again automatically when the power returns
after the power supply has been previously cut or interrupted.
• The fan runs the whole time from the moment the unit is switched on
until it is switched off again. This is so that the built-in sensor can
measure the relative humidity in the room accurately and reliably.
Important information regarding starting up the unit for the
first time and the different operating modes.
When you use your dehumidifier for the first time, set the control dial on the
right-hand side of the unit to the maximum setting
(see fig. D.2)
.
Allow the unit to run in this mode. The dehumidifier will begin by extracting
large amounts of moisture out of the air and will continue to do so until the
relative humidity has decreased. The unit will then continue to extract moisture
out of the air, but less so than was initially the case. This does not mean that
your dehumidifier is not working properly. It means that the relative humidity
is now lower than when the unit was switched on.
The unit is equipped with two different operating modes. As soon as you are
able to perceive that pleasant feeling you experience when the air is dry, and
the unpleasant smell that is a sure sign that humidity levels are too high has
dissipated, you can select one of the two modes and switch to other non-stop
operation or hygrostat-controlled mode.
You can turn the control dial to the setting that best suits your own individual
needs or preference. The variable hygrostat control can be set anywhere between
OFF and non-stop operation
(see fig. D.3)
.
The unit is able to maintain the existing relative humidity, ie. the humidity level
that you consider to be right for you. Turn the control dial slowly towards the
OFF position
(see fig. D.4)
and stop at the position at which the compressor
switches itself off. The hygrostat will now monitor and control the relative
humidity so that it remains at the level you have selected.
The hygrostat saves the relative humidity value that you have selected. It switches
the unit on in order to restore the value you previously selected when the relative
humidity level is too high and off again once this value has been reached.
The unit dehumidifies the surrounding air without interruption in non-stop mode.
The unit does not react to rising or falling humidity levels and will continue to
dehumidify the ambient air until the dial that has been previously set to maximum
position is turned to another position or the unit is switched off
(see fig. D.2)
.
