UNPACKING
Carefully remove the CD100 dehumidifier unit from its transit box and visually
check for signs of transit damage. If there is evidence of damage DO NOT
attempt to operate the unit, call your supplier for advice. Do not discard the
packing; it will be useful when transporting the dehumidifier unit in the future.
INTRODUCTION
Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air that is circulating through the unit.
The resulting reduction of relative humidity helps prevent rust, rot, mould,
mildew and condensation within the room, shelter or other enclosed spaces
where the dehumidifier is used.
A dehumidifier consists of a motor-compressor unit, a refrigerant condenser,
an air circulating fan, a refrigerated evaporator, a means for collecting and
disposing of the condensed moisture and a cabinet to house these
components.
The fan draws the moist room air through the cold evaporator coil which cools
the air below its dew point. Moisture forms on the evaporator and is collected
in the condensate tray then lead away to a permanent drain. The cooled air
then passes through the hot condenser, where it is re-heated with the same
energy removed during the cooling phase and the addition heat derived from
the compressor. The air is therefore discharged into the room at a slightly
higher temperature but at a lower relative humidity than that at which it
entered the unit. Continuous circulation of room air through the dehumidifier
gradually reduces the relative humidity of the room.
The CD100 dehumidifier is a rugged reliable drying unit designed to operate
effectively over a broad range of temperature and humidity conditions. A
powerful and reliable active hot gas defrost system, controlled by an
electronic timer, guarantees positive de-icing, thereby optimizing at low
temperatures.
The unit incorporates a welded steel chassis and is finished in vinyl coated
steel covers for resilience to damage caused by rough handling.

INSTALLATION
POSITIONING:
Position the dehumidifier unit in the center of the room to be conditioned if at
all possible. However if a damp patch is particularly apparent the outlet grille
should be pointed towards it.
NOTE: Both inlet grille and outlet grille of the dehumidifier unit must have
clear space around them and not be obstructed in anyway. For correct
installation and operation the unit inlet and outlet must have a clearance of
0.5M from all adjacent surfaces and or structures.
WIRING:
Connect the power cord of the dehumidifier to a suitable single phase, fused
power supply. As follows:-
Brown Live
Blue Neutral
Green/Yellow Earth (ground)
ALARM WIRING:
Plug L (Normally Open Contacts)
Plug N (Close on Humidity Rise)
Plug E (Earth)
DRAINAGE:
Connect a 15mm inside diameter hose to the condensate outlet pipe
(positioned centrally, beneath the air inlet grille). Secure the hose using a
worm drive clip. The hose should at no point be raised higher than the outlet
pipe. The hose should be ran to a permanent drain. Failure to observe this
requirement will result in flooding of the dehumidifier unit. Ensure the drain
tube heater tape is inserted the full length of the drain tube.
OPTIONAL
The CD100 may also be fitted with a water pump capable of discharging the
condensate a vertical height of 30ft. The water can, therefore, be discharged
into a drain some distance away.

OPERATION
The operation of the dehumidifier is to remove moisture from the air by having
it condense on the cool tubes of the evaporator coil. The air then passes over
the hot condenser and returns to the conditioned space slightly warmer and at
reduced moisture content. To concentrate drying all doors and windows
should be kept closed.
AIR MOVING SYSTEM:
Air is drawn in through the inlet grille at the rear of the dehumidifier (below the
handle) and over the two heat exchanges (evaporator/condenser coils) under
the influence of the axial fan, which is driven by the motor. The operation of
the fan motor is to run continuously whenever power is supplied to the
dehumidifier. The fan motor used in the dehumidifier unit is induction
protected i.e. the motor is able to take stalled current without burning out the
motor windings.
TEST FOR CORRECT OPERATION:
1. Set the adjustment humidistat to maximum
2. Switch the machine to the on position; this will result in the compressor
starting to run and the fan blade starting to rotate.
3. When the compressor has been running for twenty minutes the coils
located above the drain tray will be evenly coated in frost. (If the
temperature is above 25ºC the coils will be covered in water).
4. After the machine has been running for approximately fifty minutes the
unit will automatically enter defrost. The defrost cycle lasts for
approximately three minutes; this will result in the frost on the coils
melting and dripping into the drainage tray.
5. After the defrost has finished the machine will return to normal operation.
6. Ensure the condensate drains away from the machine.
WARNING:
DO NOT RUN THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE COVERS IN
PLACE FOR ANY LONGER THAN NECESSARY. DO NOT
REMOVE / REPLACE THE COVERS WITH THE POWER ON

WARNING:
•Due to the high pressures within the refrigeration circuit, under no
circumstances must direct heat be applied to the evaporator coil in an
attempt to remove the build up of ice.
•No attempt should be made to cut open any part of the refrigeration circuit
due to high pressures and gas involved. If the unit is switched off at the
mains power supply for any reason, the unit must be allowed to stand at
rest for at least three minutes before restarting. Failure to do so may cause
the unit to blow the fuses owing to the compressor due to there being a
refrigerant imbalance.

SPECIAL FEATURES
HEATED CONDENSATE DRAINAGE TUBE:
The CD100E dehumidifier is fitted with a heater tape which runs the length of
the condensate tube. The effect of this heated condensate drainage tube will
ensure that the drainage point for the dehumidifier is kept free from ice when
operated in low ambients.
CONTROL AND ALARM HUMIDISTAT:
The CD100E has 2 Humidistats Fitted:
Adjustable Humidistat
This humidistat incorporates a knob / pointer and a graduated scale which
gives the customer the facility to select the desired humidity level within the
room being dried. The humidistat is positioned behind the front cover; this
removes the Humidistat from normal view and therefore reduces the
possibility of being mistakenly adjusted.
Factory Pre-Set Humidistat
The humidistat is factory pre-set at 70%. A Voltage free set of Normally Open
contacts are available at the Alarm Plug situated on the control panel. This
facility allows the customer to connect to an external Alarm Monitoring
System. The contacts will close on High RH.

ROUTINE SERVICE
To ensure continued full efficiency of the dehumidifier, maintenance
procedures should be performed as follows:
1. Clean the surface of the evaporator and condenser coils by blowing
the dirt out from behind the fins with compressed air. Hold the
nozzle of the air hose away from the coil (approx 6”) to avoid
damaging the fins. Alternatively, vacuum clean the coils.
2. Check that the fan is firmly secured to the motor shaft and that the
fan rotates freely. The fan motor is sealed for life and therefore
does not need oiling.
3. To check the refrigerant charge, run the unit for 15 minutes and
briefly remove the cover. The evaporator coil should be evenly frost
coated across its surface. At temperatures above 25°C, the coil
may be covered with droplets of water rather than frost. Partial
frosting accompanied by frosting of the thin capillary tubes,
indicates loss of refrigerant gas or low charge.
4. Check all wiring connections.
5. To check the operation of the defrost system, switch the machine
on and leave it running for approximately 45 minutes. The machine
will then enter “Hot Gas” defrost mode for approximately 4 minutes
before returning to normal operation. If the unit will not defrost, the
printed circuit timer board may be defective or the by-pass valve
may be inoperable.

REPAIRS
1. Should an electrical component fail, consult the Factory Service
Center to obtain the proper replacement part.
2. If refrigerant gas is lost from the machine, it will be necessary to use
a refrigeration technician to correct the fault. Contact the Factory
Service Center prior to initiating this action.
Any competent refrigeration technician will be able to service the
equipment. The following procedure must be used:
a. The source of the leak must be determined and corrected.
b. The machine should be thoroughly evacuated before
recharging.
c. The unit must be recharged with refrigerant measured
accurately by weight.
d. For evacuation and recharging of the machine, use the crimped
and brazed charging stub attached to the side of the refrigerant
compressor.
The charging stub should be crimped and rebrazed after
servicing. N EVER allow permanent service valves to be fitted to
any part of the circuit. Service valves may leak causing further
loss of refrigerant gas.
3. The refrigerant compressor fitted to the dehumidifier is a durable
unit that should give many years of service. Compressor failure can
result from the machine losing its refrigerant gas. The compressor
can be replaced by a competent refrigeration technician.
Failure of the compressor can be confirmed by the following
procedure:
a. Establish that power is present at the compressor terminals
using a voltmeter.
b. With the power disconnected, check the continuity of the internal
winding by using meter across the compressor terminals. An
open circuit indicates that the compressor should be replaced.
c. Check that the compressor is not grounded by establishing that
a circuit does not exist between the compressor terminals and
the shell of the compressor.
