TECHNO PRO™5000 OWNER’S MANUAL
1
Congratulations on your purchase of the
Techno Pro™5000. This dehumidifier
has been designed to offer you the
reliability, durability and portability you
need.
Your Techno Pro™5000 removes up to
110 pints per day at saturation and 60
pints per day at AHAM.
The Techno Pro™5000 includes factory-
installed wheels, handle and automatic
pump-out system.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Caution!
Unit operates on alternating
current:
110/120 volt, 60 Hz
Or 230 volt, 50 Hz
Do not operate your Techno Pro™5000
Dehumidifier with a cut or frayed power
cord. Do not unplug your dehumidifier
by pulling on its cord. Grasp the plug
firmly and pull it out of the wall socket.
The plug has a safety ground pin
installed that must not be removed. If
the pin is damaged or missing, have the
power cord replaced at once. Visually
inspect the power cord before each use.
Ignoring these safety precautions may
result in a fire or an electric shock.
Never operate electrical equipment in
standing water. There is a shock hazard.
Never drop the unit. Sudden and severe
impact may result in damage to internal
components.
Your Techno Pro™5000 Dehumidifier
should not be operated with the unit’s
outer cover removed. Personal injury
may result.
Drapes or other loose fabrics can be
drawn against the unit restricting its
airflow. This condition may cause the
unit to overheat. Assure that there is
sufficient space between the back of the
unit and these fabrics to avoid this
condition.
Save the shipping carton in case your
Techno Pro™5000 Dehumidifier must
be returned for repair. But, discard the
plastic bag to prevent children from
using it as a toy. Also, children should
not be allowed to play on or near a
running dehumidifier.
Never operate your Techno Pro™5000
Dehumidifier outside when it is raining
and never store your dehumidifier
outside.
This unit should never be serviced or
cleaned while it is plugged into a live
electrical power source.
Warning!
Ignoring these safety precautions may
result in serious personal injury.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. If your unit is equipped with wheels,
block them to keep the unit from
accidentally rolling. Also, secure the
dehumidifier during transportation to
prevent its toppling over and to keep
it upright. Severe impact may
damage the compressor or electronic
components.
2. In the event that the unit has been
stored or transported on its side, set it
upright for at least one (1) hour
before starting.
3. Operate your Techno Pro™5000 only
on a level surface. This will prevent
the unit from spilling condensate or
flooding the area.

4. Plug the unit into a grounded
alternating current circuit and switch
on the unit.
5. Secure the 40 feet pump hose to a
sink or alternative drain.
6. To use the gravity drain, connect the
hose to the fitting on the back of the
unit under the drip tray. Place the
hose into a suitable receptacle or
drain connection.
7. Residual water left in the collection
tray can be removed by using the
manual purge switch. Continue to
depress switch until all water is
removed.
8. If the unit is shut down for any
reason, allow at least five minutes
before restarting. This will avoid
damage to the compressor.
9. Assure that the fan and compressor
are properly functioning before
leaving a running unit unattended.
MAINTENANCE
Warning!
Disconnect the unit from the power
supply before cleaning or servicing.
Filter Cleaning: The filter shroud must
be cleaned after every job. The filter
itself should be vacuumed frequently to
control the build-up of soil. On a
periodic basis, the filter should be
removed completely from the unit. It
can be washed with water and mild
detergent. Allow the filter to thoroughly
dry before reinstalling it in the unit.
Coil Cleaning: As the coils accumulate
soil, their heat transferring properties are
reduced. This can diminish water
extraction and create undue pressure on
the refrigeration system.
The coils should be cleaned about every
8 to 12 weeks. If the Techno Pro™5000
Dehumidifier is used in a dusty
environment, cleaning may need to be
performed more frequently. The coils
should be dry before the following
cleaning operation is performed.
Dry Method. Inject compressed air
through each coil. Clean the unit’s front
grill with a vacuum equipped with a
brush attachment. After removing the
dry particle contamination, a wet
cleaning process may be used.
Caution!
Do not use a hose to flush the coils
and do not permit water to leak
into the electrical compartment.
Wet method. Use a soft brush and soapy
water. If soils have been allowed to
accumulate over time, they may be dry
and hard. Soak time may be required to
dissolve and release these soils from the
coils. A spray bottle or a syringe can be
used to apply controlled amounts of
cleaning solution. After cleaning, make
sure that the drain port, the condensate
tray and drain tubing are free of any
residual soil.
Electrical Wiring & Cord: Inspect the
power cord periodically to make sure
that the insulation is in good condition.
Replace worn or damaged cords.
Remove the dehumidifier cover to
expose the wiring and terminal block.
Inspect wires to assure that they are
secured away from the fan blade.
Inspect the terminal block connections
and wires for abrasions, nicks or cuts.
Repair or replace as needed.

Warning!
The fan blade is sharp! Do not
touch the edges with your hands,
serious personal injury may result.
Fan Motor: Carefully remove dust and
debris from the fan motor and blade
assembly whenever you remove the
unit’s cover for interior cleaning.
Drain Hose: Inspect the gravity drain
hose to make sure it is in good condition.
The hose should be checked before your
Techno Pro™5000 Dehumidifier leaves
the shop and again before the unit is left
on the job.
Make sure that the drain hose is not
kinked or cracked. Avoid leaving the
drain hose in a folded position during
transport and storage.
Techno Pro™5000
FEATURES
The Techno Pro™5000 utilizes a 5,595
BTU rotary compressor and “hot gas”
defrost.
The Techno Pro™5000’s temperature
sensitive, intelligent “hot gas” defrost
not only activates only when
environmental conditions dictate but,
once engaged, gets the coils defrosted
and back into action much faster. This
means that the Techno Pro™5000 is
pulling water out of the air while other
units are defrosting.
The evaporator coils on the Techno
Pro™5000 feature an epoxy-phenolic
coating most often used in heavily
corrosive and grueling marine
environments. This coating prevents
corrosion and aluminum oxide build-up
on the coils that can dramatically reduce
a dehumidifier’s performance. A
washable Quadrafoam Filter with a
special Uni-Grid support and aluminum
frame provides even more coil
protection by cleaning the air before it
enters the unit.
The Techno Pro™5000 is stackable for
storage or for operation in the field. The
unit also features two molded in handles
mounted on either end of the unit. This
makes transport much safer. Back strain
and stress is reduced during handling so
there is less chance of the unit being
damaged.
Techno Pro™5000 Dehumidifier also
has a 200-CFM fan and the unit only
draws 5.3 amps. Several units can be
operated on the same circuit. An
aluminum space chassis with roto-
molded polyethylene exterior protects
the unit and will keep it looking great for
years.

Sequence of Operations for Techno Pro 5000
The On/Off switch (Sw1) in the ON position will energize the humidity control Power Module
(PM) that supplies power to the Humidity Control module (HC). When ambient conditions rise above
the factory (adjustable) setting of 40% RH (+4% dif) on the HC module the unit will start operations.
The HC normally open (NO) contact will close and the Compressor; Fan; Defrost Control (DC); and
Hour Meter (Hm) will all be energized.
The compressor circulates refrigerant (R-22) through the coils. The Evaporator coil becomes
cold and causes warm wet ambient air to condense when blown across the cold coil. The Defrost Control
(DC) will initiate a preset (30min) time interval after the remote sensing bulb senses 28 ºF at the
evaporator outlet. When the timer reaches this 30 minute limit it will initiate the timed 10 minute defrost
cycle. When defrost is initiated the DC normally open and normally closed contacts will change
positions. The NO contact will close allowing the Hot Gas solenoid (HG) to be energized, and the NC
contact will open, de-energizing the fan. With the fan off and the HG solenoid energized, hot gas from
the compressor will be circulated through the evaporator coil causing a temperature rise to defrost the
coil. The defrost cycle will continue for the timed 10 minute period or until the suction line at the
evaporator outlet reaches 55 ºF. After the defrost cycle is complete the NO and NC contacts will switch
back to their original positions and the unit will continue with its normal operation. The condensate
pump will collect the condensed moisture in a reservoir for pump out. When the condensate reservoir
fills, an internal float switch will automatically energize the pump for self purge. The condensate pump
can also be energized via the Pump switch (Ps) located next to the ON/OFF Sw1 switch. The condensate
pump can only be energized manually or automatically if the ON/OFF Sw1 switch is in the ON position.
When the HC remote sensor indicates that the conditioned ambient air has reached 40% RH the
HC module is de-energized. The HC-NO contact opens and the compressor; fan; DC; and hour meter are
all de-energized.
