Thank you for choosing this exciting innovation in drying using DryFan®technology.
A unique product and a revolution to the way we keep living spaces, lofts, basements, boats, holiday homes,
garages and storage areas dry all day and every day.
This dehumidier is a tough and can even be used for industrial processes and applications.
Designed to be used almost anywhere, in any orientation and will even work upside down.
These units will perform similar to compressor dehumidiers rated at double the capacity at normal room
conditions.
Using DryFan® technology these dehumidiers will out-perform compressor dehumidiers by 3–4 times
below 10 ºC. Where compressor dehumidiers stop working at 5 ºC these units using DryFan®technology will
continue to dry spaces even continuing to work to -20 ºC making them ideal for unheated rooms and
out-buildings.
You can take out your unit easily if
you open the box from the top side.
THANKYOU!
It is important that you read these
instructions carefully before installing and
using your new dehumidier.
Please keep them in a safe place for future
reference.

Your dehumidier uses DryFan®technology and
uses a continuously rotating moisture absorbing
patented wheel termed a “Rotor”.
A highly ecient yet low noise fan draws air into the
unit (Process Air) and forces it through a section of
the rotor. As the air passes through the rotor, the
honeycomb, of hygroscopic membranes absorbs
almost all of the moisture creating an extremely dry
airstream.
Most of this airstream (approx 85%) is discharged
directly through the ‘Dry Air Outlet’.
However, a portion, (approx 15%) of this air (Regen
Air) is separated and directed through a special
heater bank (Regen Heater) where the air’s
temperature is raised.
This heated air is then channelled back through a section of the Rotor.
As this hot air passes through the membranes, its higher temperature drives-out the previously
absorbed moisture and discharges it as warm wet air through the ‘Wet Air Out’ duct.
As the wheel rotates, this process of collecting and discharging moisture is continuous.
The wet air outlet is 41 mm in diameter making it easy to vent the moisture away using standard push t waste
water connectors.
Water is not drained away as a liquid it is vented away similar to a tumble dryer.

PATENTED DESICCANT ROTOR
The Desiccant Rotor is the heart of the DryFan® system. It is an array of
especially absorbent membranes – patent protected– arranged as a series
of corrugations (as shown in the cut-away image) to give a vast surface area
that was developed over many years, making it an extremely ecient mois-
ture collector.
PATENTED REGEN HEATER
A patented ceramic PTC Regen Heater. (PTC Positive Temperature
Coecient) is self regulating so never to overheat. However, as triple safety
we include a separate overheat smart sensor in the dehumidier.
The patented technology is both safe and energy ecient and can never
overheat to hazardous temperatures, even if vents become accidentally
blocked.

FAN SYSTEM
All models use specialised fan technology to give quiet performance but type of fan will dier by model capacity.
Note: External ductwork will reduce restrict airow and therefore the amount of water the dehumidiers will
extract. To maximise airow and water extraction always keep any ducting to minimum.
Maximum lengths of any ducts are outlined in the table.

CONTINUOUS FAN OR
FAN ON WHEN DRYING ONLY MODES
The DryFan®system can be used in two modes:
Mode 1 – The fan is always blowing and circulating air
continuously dehumidifying at the set humidity point by
the humidistat. This has the benet of a faster reaction
time to uctuating humidity levels.
Mode 2 – The fan is working only when needing to dry the
air. The reaction time to humidity level change may be up
to 1 hour in this mode, but it is more energy ecient and of
course quieter working only when needed.
SELECTING FAN MODE
Modes for the fan can changed by disconnecting the
dehumidier from the power supply by unplugging.
Remove the four screws holding the top cover in place
with a screwdriver. On the inside just under the lid is a
switch. Pressing the switch will mean mode change from
one mode to the other.
Replace the cover the right way round (there is only one
way for all screws to align). Put screws back into position
taking care not to overtighten. • switch for selecting

POSITIONING
The models have been designed for indoor use however, they can be placed inside or outside the room to be dried.
Internal Positioning:
When positioning the unit inside the room, place it centrally, ensuring inlet and outlet ducts are clear of
obstruction. If required, ducts can be connected to the outlet and/or inlet (where tted) to direct the drying to
specic areas. The ‘Wet Air Out’ MUST be ducted outside the room.

External Positioning (Models where Outlet Duct Fitted Only):
When positioning the unit outside the room, connect ducting to the outlet to direct the dry airstream into the
room to be dried. Optionally, the inlet may also be ducted to the room to give a re-circulation eect. In this
case however, because the unit uses a portion for the inlet air for regeneration. Provision must be made in the
inlet duct to draw air also from outside the room.

NOTE: As the Wet-Air-Out discharge is warm and very humid ensure it is directed where it will have no
adverse eect on the immediate environment.
NOTE: Wet-air-out should be declined from the dehumidier where possible if there is a risk of any
condensation build up in the exhaust duct running back into the dehumidier.
This can be avoided either with short wet-air-out duct lengths or adequately insulating the wet-air-duct
to prevent condensation. Should water be seen dripping from the dehumidier switch o the appliance
immediately at the wall socket. Allow water in the unit to dry completely.
Correct the defect in the wet-air-out ducting and reconnect to the power to start operating again.
Do not operate If there is a concern the unit is not thoroughly dry inside.
NOTE: The wet-air-out ange outlet is 41 mm. This is the standard size of push t wasted water pipe
connectors and pipes ideal for exhaust ducting. Decreasing the exhaust pipe diameter will decrease
performance. Flexible ducting may be used on all inlets and outlets.
All ducting lengths should be kept to a minimum. Longer lengths will reduce performance. For the longest
lengths see FAN SYSTEM TABLE (page 7). Ducting may be also supplied by your dehumidier supplier.

NOTE: A low setting of say 10% means the room is regulated to a very dry level while a setting of say 90%
the room will be maintained at a relatively humid level. The right level for the room may vary with weather,
temperature and occupation conditions over time.
REMOTE OPERATION
For remote operation it is necessary to connect an 24V external humidistat (not
provided) via the jack plug connector. The external humidistat may be obtained from
your appliance supplier. Ensure the “Remote Humidistat” switch is set to ‘ON’ (O). The
dehumidier will now be controlled by the remote humidistat that is using low power
and only 24V.
CLEANING
Disconnect from the mains before cleaning or servicing the unit or any of its components.
Wipe regularly clean with a moist cloth (a soft, damp cloth) and a mild household de-
tergent, Never use chemicals, petrol, agressive detergents or other cleansing solutions.
AIR FILTER
The dehumidier has an inlet air lter. This should be
checked periodically and if necessary cleaned.
It can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or hand
washed in mild detergent only.
Replacement lters are available from your supplier.
ATTENTION: Do not run the unit without a lter tted
as dust will impair the performance of the Rotor.
