Product Instructions
The dehumidier is used to remove excessive
moisture from the air. The resulting reduction
in relative humidity protects buildings and their
contents from the adverse effects of excess
humidity.
The environmentally friendly R290 is used
as the refrigerant. R290 has no damaging
inuence on the ozone layer (ODP), a negligible
greenhouse effect (GWP) and is available
worldwide. Because of its ecient energy
properties, R290 is highly suitable as a coolant
for this application.
Special precautions must be taken into
consideration due to the coolant’s high
ammability. The dehumidier is CE marked
and approved by TüV according to EN 60335-1,
EN 60335-2-40, EN 62233, EN 55014-1, EN 55014-
2, EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3.

Safety instructions for service
Please follow these warnings when to
undertake the following when servicing a
dehumidier with R290.
Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems containing
ammable refrigerants, safety checks are
necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition
is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating
system, the following precautions shall be
complied with prior to conducting work on the
system.
Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled
procedure so as to minimize the risk of a
ammable gas or vapor being present while the
work is being performed.
General work area
All maintenance staff and others working in
the local area shall be instructed on the nature
of work being carried out. Work in conned
spaces shall be avoided. The area around the
workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that
the conditions within the area have been made
safe by control of ammable material.
Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an appropriate
refrigerant detector prior to and during work,
to ensure the technician is aware of potentially
ammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak
detection equipment being used is suitable
for use with ammable refrigerants, i.e. no
sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the
refrigeration equipment or any associated
parts, appropriate re extinguishing equipment
shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or
CO² re extinguisher adjacent to the charging
area.
No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a
refrigeration system which involves exposing
any pipe work that contains or has contained
ammable refrigerant shall use any sources of
ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the
risk of re or explosion.
All possible ignition sources, including cigarette
smoking, should be kept suciently far away
from the site of installation, repairing, removing
and disposal, during which ammable
refrigerant can possibly be released to the
surrounding space. Prior to work taking
place, the area around the equipment is to
be surveyed to make sure that there are no
ammable hazards or ignition risks. “No
Smoking” signs shall be displayed.
Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is
adequately ventilated before breaking into the
system or conducting any hot work. A degree
of ventilation shall continue during the period
that the work is carried out. The ventilation
should safely disperse any released refrigerant
and preferably expel it externally into the
atmosphere.

Safety instructions for service
Checks to the refrigeration equipment
Where electrical components are being
changed, they shall be t for the purpose
and to the correct specication. At all times
the manufacturer’s maintenance and service
guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult
the manufacturer’s technical department for
assistance.
The following checks shall be applied to
installations using ammable refrigerants:
• The charge size is in accordance with the
room size within which the refrigerant
containing parts are installed;
• The ventilation machinery and outlets
are operating adequately and are not
obstructed;
• If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being
used, the secondary circuit shall be checked
for the presence of refrigerant;
• Marking to the equipment continues to be
visible and legible. Markings and signs that
are illegible shall be corrected;
• Refrigeration pipe or components are
installed in a position where they are
unlikely to be exposed to any substance
which may corrode refrigerant containing
components, unless the components
are constructed of materials which are
inherently resistant to being corroded or
are suitably protected against being so
corroded.
Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical
components shall include initial safety checks
and component inspection procedures. If a
fault exists that could compromise safety, then
no electrical supply shall be connected to the
circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the
fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is
necessary to continue operation, an adequate
temporary solution shall be used. This shall be
reported to the owner of the equipment so all
parties are advised.
Initial safety checks shall include:
• Those capacitors are discharged: this
shall be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking.
• That there no live electrical components
and wiring are exposed while charging,
recovering or purging the system.
• That there is continuity of earth bonding.
Releasing refrigerant into atmosphere is
strictly forbidden!
