INTRODUCTION:
Drymatic is an intelligent heat drying and air exchange system designed to dry a room as quickly as possi-ble. By
constantly optimising and exchanging moist air with warm dry air in a controlled manner Drymatic greatly speeds up
the drying process whilst making it more e󰀩cient. The addition of heat and controlled air exchanges also increases
the performance of conventional drying equipment.
How it works:
Drymatic has two modes of operation: Recirculation and Exhaust Mode. In recirculation mode air in the room is
continuously heated up until either a temperature or humidity limit is reached. Raising the temper-ature of the air
allows it to hold more water which promotes evaporation. This means that more moisture will be drawn out of the
wet structure/contents of the room and retained in the air. In exhaust mode this now moist and humid air is then
exchanged and replaced with dry air which has been heated before it en-ters the room. By continuously monitoring
the temperature and humidity of the air Drymatic can cycle be-tween these modes to maximise the amount of water
removed from the room.
Features:
• High performance drying with monitoring system to maximise e󰀩ciency.
• Rotomoulded housing that is strong, portable and stackable.
• Quick-x fast and easy ducting system.
• Simple power up and go operation.

To quickly set up Drymatic: (Instructions can also be found on the screen cover).
1. Place the unit at on the oor as close to the centre of the Drying area as possible.
2. Connect at least three quick-x ducts, inserting them into the labelled ports (see below) and rotating clockwise
until tight.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
4. Lift the cover and switch on the machine with the red power switch.
5. Press the green play button on the touch screen.
T he display when running
Drymatic will now run on the default settings. The cover can be closed and the machine left to run on it’s own. Try
to keep the area isolated with all doors and windows shut and take note of the initial relative humidity. Continue to
check the room and humidity values until you consider the room ’dry’ and then use the red power switch to turn o󰀨
the machine.
Note that the reset button should be used before the next job is started, see ‘About the Memory’ in the
‘Advanced Settings’ section for more information.
QUICK SET UP:

**Heater power levels are determined by software and sensors to allow air out to fall between room limits and provide
safe operation. The bars here serve as an indication of how the machine is performing. Conditions such as low room
limits, high ambient temperatures, low fan speed and duct blockage may limit the heaters power level.
EXAMPLE SET UP:
The diagram below shows an example set up for a small room with windows. A wooden panel is used to seal the
window leav-ing the room and all hoses are directed away from one another. Always try to minimise the length of the
heater hose or avoid using it if possible.
ADVANCED SETTINGS:
Drymatic has four control buttons along the bottom of the screen, Play, Stop, Reset and Settings. The top ribbon
shows the machine status, in any situation where the machine is stopped the play button will restart it from where it
previously left o󰀨. Similarly the stop button will put the machine on hold without the need to power it down. In order to
correctly understand how the reset button functions please see ’About the Memory’ below.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL DBK HEAT DRYER
Page 10
Touching the settings button brings you to the advanced menu, here you have complete control of the room conditions,
fan speed, units and language. Once you have nished you will need to press play again to restart the machine
(accessing the settings will cause the machine to stop).
About the Memory - Drymatic has a built in memory allowing it to continue and restart jobs even if power is lost
or re-moved. This ensures that the machine doesn’t forget kWh and hours data and continues on the same point
of it’s drying cy-cle. There are two separate memory banks that can be reset independently.
Job Memory - Keeps track of where the machine is in the drying cycle and all kWh/hours data - This data should
be reset at either the start of the new job or end of the previous job to ensure that the next jobs starts fresh. This
can be reset from the main display, failure to do so will slow the drying time and could cause confusion with data.
Settings Memory - Remembers all of the user settings such as room limits, fan speed, units and language.
These can be reset to the default values via the settings page but will not be reset with the job. If using the
machine after someone else you should always ensure that the appropriate settings have been chosen.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL DBK HEAT DRYER
Page 11
In some situations high temperatures, humidity or even a very low humidity may not be desirable, if this is the case
the room limits can be adjusted manually to suit.
Touching any of the values for the room limits will allow you to change them. An edit box will appear with di󰀨erent
increments that can be pressed to change the value. Once you are happy with the value press the tick button to
conrm, if you wish to cancel the changes press the cross. Remember that the reset button on the settings page will
restore all room limits to the fac-tory defaults. An outline of the variable room limits can be found below.
Cancel changes and
close the window.

the selected limit.
Accept the changes
limit by the indicated
amount.
Max Temp - This is the maximum temperature the room can reach, higher temperatures should speed up the drying
process. Please note that by default on some machines this is limited to 40°C (104°F) however can be increased to
up to 50°C (140°F) depending on how the machine is used.
Max RH - This is the maximum relative humidity the room can reach, when in recirculation mode the machine will aim
to in- crease the humidity by extracting water from the room and into the air before exhausting it out of the building.
Reducing this limit will cause the machine to switch mode more frequently however may not be extracting as much
moisture as it possibly could each cycle. Higher values will generally correspond to faster drying.
Min RH - This is the minimum relative humidity the room can reach, e󰀨ectively a limit on how ’dry’ you want the room
to get. Once this target has been reached the machine will mainly run in exhaust mode with the aim to keep this hu-
midity constant.
THE MACHINE STATUS RIBBON:
The machine status ribbon shows the machines current operating state, operating mode and the heater power level.
This table shows most possible situations. (note that fans are always running when machine is running).

Set Up Tips:
The following guidelines should be followed to get the most out of your Drymatic. Taking the time to set up the unit correctly will give much
better performance and will reduce drying times.
Hoses -
• Keep hoses clear and as straight or smooth as possible - tight bends or blockages will restrict airow and limit heater.
• If there is space to put Drymatic near the target drying it may be possible to run the unit with only three hoses. This will guarantee the
heater is always on the highest possible power. Ensure that no hoses block the open port if they cross.
• Keep the ends of both the Outside hoses and Room hoses separate. If they are too close the unit will just be cycling round the same
air limiting performance.
• Aim to create a ow of air around the room - ideally the warm air should pass all target drying areas to absorb moisture before been
evacuated.
• Hoses can be moved throughout the cycle to target wetter areas, this is especially useful for larger or complex rooms.
• Hoses can be cut down or they can be extended by using cardboard/duct tape sections to join them - bear in mind that elongating the
hoses will reduce the airow. See the maintenance section if you wish to change the hose entirely.
Drying Area -
• Keep the drying area sealed - any loses of heat will slow performance or allow more moisture to enter the area. In larger/open areas
consider using tenting to isolate target zones. - For more info ask your Drymatic representative about Zip Wall.
• If hoses are running through open windows board the area with a wooden or cardboard panel to keep the room sealed. Cut a 6” hole
in the panel to run the hose through.
• Drymatic can be used in a separate room with hoses feeding in to the drying area - this may be the only option for smaller rooms/
cupboards.
• If the oor under Drymatic is wet consider moving it throughout the job. Always stop the unit before doing this.
• If there is nowhere to vent wet air consider directing it to a sealed shower allowing it to condense and leave via the drain.
Measuring, Monitoring and other Equipment -
• Drymatic’s display gives an outline of relative humidity throughout the room. To optimise the drying process we recom-mend using
moisture meters to map the wet areas and then placing/moving the hoses accordingly. Remote monitoring can be achieved through
the Drymatic Hygronet system. For more information please contact a Drymatic Sales Representative.
• When monitoring energy usage remember to reset and log the kWh and Hours run readings at the start and end of the job.
• Strategically using Drymatic with other equipment can increase performance. For example placing the Heater Outlet hose near an air
mover will mean that warm air is pushed over it’s target area increasing the rate of evaporation.
Alternative Uses -
• Running Drymatic with no ducts will make it function like a fan heater, the settings menu can then be used to control the max temp
and fan speed.
• Setting a high RH target and low temperature limit will make Drymatic run solely as an air exchange machine.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT:
Always use the long handle to pick up the unit using two hands whenever possible. Ensure that safe manual handling
guidelines are followed and request assistance if necessary. The soft handle can be used to pull Dry-matic along with
it’s wheels as you would a suitcase. A case is provided to store four complete hoses
The power cord should always be removed from the electrical outlet when not in use and wrapped anti clock-wise
around the cord wrap as shown. Once fully wrapped the cord can be clipped to the side of the unit. (number of wraps
will vary depending on cord length)
DO NOT PULL ON THE MAINS CORD - this may damage the product and create a risk of electric shock.

Replacing a Hose:
Through misuse or just general wear and tear hoses may become frayed or damaged. Hoses can be replaced by
unscrewing the green tab on the band clamp and pulling the hose o󰀨. To attach a new hose simply slide the hose over
the attachment as far as possible then tighten the band clamp. 6m standard 6” grey PVC ducting is used however
di󰀨erent lengths or colours may be used providing they don’t restrict airow. WARNING: The heater outlet hose must
be rated for at least 100°C/212°F on 230V models and at least 70°C/158°F on 120V models. Hoses are available
through DBK.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
In the event of a fault the rst thing to try is powering down the machine, turning o󰀨 the power at the mains and then
waiting ten seconds. You can then power it up again and see if there are any improvements. If not please refer to this
