1 SAFETY INTRODUCTION
1.1 Safety
This series of dehumidifier is in conformance with all provisions of European security requirements
and standards, the safety of worker and equipment are taken into care while in design and
manufacture process. In each section of the manual, there are safety information and explicitly
pointed out operation that may causes danger. And it is mark with "Danger" as a warning sign.
This manual provides information on the appropriate ways of operating the dehumidifier. It
shall serve as a guideline only and are not liable for any personal responsibility or meeting local
safety regulations. During the installation and operation of the equipment, everyone shall bear the
liability as listed below:
• To ensure the equipment in good condition according the description provided in this manual;
• Do care the safety of yourself and others;
• Dehumidifier should be operated and maintenance by related qualification professionals;
• Do not install dehumidifier around the explosive protection devices;
• Cut off the power before open any cover in the housing;
• When the operation ended, please allow the equipment to cool down at least 15 minutes
before begin the maintenance service;
• The machine panel should be closed at all time if maintenance work is not carried out;
• Dehumidifier is limited to atmospheric pressure condition to dehumidify;
• Filter device must be installed before using the dehumidifier;
• Removing or deleting the marks/declares/notes in the dehumidifier is prohibited;
• The manual should be kept well for using in the future;
• Original spare parts should be used for any replacement;
• The written permission from manufacture must be needed before repairing the dehumidifier;
1.2 Applications:
The dehumidifiers are widely used in hotels, office buildings, hospitals, commercial, research
institutions and other applicable places. Its working principle is to remove excess moisture by drying
the air under normal atmospheric pressure. Its working humidity range is from 40%-90% (the
humidity can be reduced to 40% at most), and working temp range is 5 °C to 35 °C. If the ambient
operating temperature is beyond this range, the dehumidify capacity will be affected, this issue
does not reflect on the quality of the equipment itself.
1.3 Manual Content
This manual content includes most info about installation, operation, maintenance, and failure
analysis and others.
Note: this manual is applicable to other precise dehumidifiers of the same range.

2 INTRODUCTIONS OF DEVICE
2.1 Standards
The design meets IEC protection class IP 45 requirements.
2.2 Structure
2.2.1 Housing and body
Adopts steel frame structure, compact, strong, robust, and the defrosting technology effectively
preventing the "frozen" issue;
Easy to open / access panel for replacing filter
Water tray equipped ensures that all condensate water drain out, preventing water stagnation.
2.2.2 Inlet / Outlet Air Panel
Removable filter is equipped in each air inlet;
Centrifugal fan with steel volute and blades, high efficiency and low noise.
2.2.3 Refrigeration system
The design of the dehumidifier uses energy-saving heat exchanger. It can effectively regulate the
fluid flow volume, maximizing freezing capacity, and ensuring compressor operate well.
Meanwhile, dried filter was introduced in this system to prevents clogging/impurities in
expansion valve or capillary
Patented defrosting structure, it brings stable operation of refrigeration system
Hydrophilic membrane fin (heat exchanger), heat transfer efficiency increases by 20%. Good
insulation material also increases insulating effect by 15%
2.2.4 Compressor
Compressor is the core part of this dehumidifier. It directly affects dehumidifier performance. It
is the heart of this dehumidifier, provides powers for whole system. Our dehumidifier is built
with reliable and high efficiency compressors.
2.2.5 Throttling device system
Throttling device system is one of four vital items in the refrigeration systems. It will reduce the
liquid refrigerant (coming from condenser) high pressure, make the refrigerant absorb heat
under low pressure (low temp) while vaporization happen. It’s ensuring high pressure in
condenser and low pressure in evaporator. As a result, the loss of cooling capacity is reduced
thus ensuring higher efficiency. It also prevents over-heating on the compressor.

2.2.6 Protection devices
Dehumidifier controller is specially designed according the operation of the dehumidifier
and it is designed to optimize its performance. Motor overload and short circuit protection is
included as well.
Start-up delay protection: If the dehumidifier is power off during operation, it will take 3
minutes to turn on again. This is a delay protection for protecting the compressor.
Shutdown delay protection: When the dehumidifier is power off, the fans will keep running
for 3 minutes, to cool down the dehumidifier thus reducing the internal heat of the
dehumidifier.
Fans operation mode: The fan will run and stop according to the RH setpoint.
High temperature protection: Prevent the compressor running continuously at high
temperatures;
Low pressure protection: Prevents the dehumidifier running without refrigerant to avoid
compressor from being overload.

3 INSTALLATIONS
3.1 Brief introduction
Ceiling Mounted dehumidifier can be installed in many places, depending on the requirements of
owners. It can also integrate with current ventilation system via duct system. This chapter records
info about preparation work, and installation work and etc. Please serve it as a guide before
installation.
3.2 Delivery and storage
To ensure the quality and reliability of each dehumidifier, it has been thoroughly tested in factory.
If dehumidifier has to be stored for a while prior to installation, please take notes of the following:
①Keeping transport package in good condition;
②Avoiding physical damage;
③Dehumidifier should be stored indoor and covered properly to prevent dust, frost and rain
intrusion.
3.3 Inspection before installation
Unpack package and check machine: If any damage is found, please contact supplier /
manufacturer.
3.4 Moving machine
Please check the dehumidifier weight before any loading / unloading. The dehumidifier is equipped
with caster wheels, it can move on the ground. For moving the unit of a longer distance, it is advice
to use proper equipment (trolley or forklift) to move the goods. It should be take note that the
dehumidifier shall be lifted up properly and the lifting point should be away from the motor, control
system and exposed pipe to avoid any damages onto the equipment.
3.5 Installation Location
For best operation and maintenance service, it is advice to install the dehumidifier indoor / inside of
room with extra space for routine maintenance/checking in order to prevent condensation inside
the dehumidifier, the unit should not be exposed to environment where temperature is below the
process air’s dew point. Please place the device near to power source.
NOTE: Please provide enough space around the dehumidifier for troubleshooting and
maintenance service purpose.

3.6 Ground/Base
Dehumidifier must be installed horizontally with well-balanced level. Please use horizontal ruler to
measure the level during installation.
3.7 Ducting Connection
The dimension of ducting for inlet and outlet air should be in line with ISO7807 recommended
values. Ducting should be connected with the connection part on flange, meanwhile, the screw bolt
is limited to within 20mm. While connecting the ducting, some notes as below:
In order to reduce loss of static pressure, do the best to shorten the length of the ducting;
To ensure performance of machine, all rigid (galvanized) ducting fittings are required to have
air-tightness;
The ducting should have a good capacity of thermal insulation, then the phenomenon of
moisture condensation inside pipe wall will be avoided, and the pipeline won't be corroded;
To reduce noise and vibration transmitted along the pipes, the good quality, soft and strong
airtight adapting pieces should be used in the joint parts;
