4 START-UP OF THE UNIT
4.1 INSTALLATION
RULES
It is necessary to determine the unit location according to certain criteria:
•
The unit must be secured on a hard base (concrete or hard steel frame type) and must be
protected from flood risks.
•
A clear space around the unit of around 0.6 m at the front, adequate room for serviceability,
and a minimum of 0.5 m at the back and sides of the unit must be left.
•
The air flow caused by the helix must be directed away from the limits of the work
environment (windows, doors...).
•
The minimum distance between the dehumidifier and the rim of the swimming pool must be
at least 3.5 m.
(Electrotechnic Regulations for Low Voltage, Supplementary Technical Instructions, Low
Voltage, 31, ITC-BT-31).
•
The electrical and hydraulic connections must be made according to the applicable
regulations (NF C 15 100, EC 1 364). The ducting for the connections must be fixed.
•
During operation of the unit, it is normal that the condensation produced by the evaporation
unit will produce a certain quantity of water which will have to be evacuated. All units have
an adapter at the side of the base which should always be free of any obstruction.
•
It is important to remember that no part of the tubing or hose may be above the level of the
drain hole in the base of the deshumidifier unit.
•
This condensation water does not have to be treated in any special manner.
4.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The power supply for the dehumidifier must come, preferably, from a sole circuit provided with
standard-issue protection components (see above: protection by a 30 mA differential) and a
magnetic circuit breaker.
