1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

p WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:

You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other

connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices.

A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current

Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected

by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.

You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified

electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.

1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances

and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2.

and use a Portable Appliance Tester.

1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all

connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply

to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.

1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty

item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is

damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.

Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).

a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal E.

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal L.

c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal N.

d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation

extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.

Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.

To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In

this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure that a suitably

rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an

industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.

1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before

connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance

plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and

should be at least 1.5mm2, but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of

the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the

other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm2section cable.

3. TRANSPORT & ASSEMBLY

4. INSTALLATION

2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATIONS

The XRC commercial/industrial dehumidfier range is designed to remove moisture from the air in high humidity environments such as cellars,

kitchens, bathrooms etc. The units are designed for continuous operation either manually or automatically if connected to an optional hygrostat

sensor. The internal cooling units use the more environmentally friendly R407C cooling gas. All units have an air filtering system, electronic

control, a defrost system for compressor protection, and an automatic stop when the water collection tank is full. The units are easy to move

and robustly constructed.

3.1 Transit. The unit should be transported in a vertical position or inclined on the handle

side. If it has been transported in a horizontal position allow the unit to stand in the

vertical position for about one hour to allow the lubrication to be rebalanced.

3.2 Check that the unit has not been damaged in any way and that all parts are present. If

there are any problems contact your local Sealey dealer.

3.3 Packaging. Packaging materials such as cartons, polythene bags etc should not be

left within the reach of children as such items could be dangerous to them. Dispose of

all packaging materials in accordance with local authority requirements.

3.4 Assembly. Assemble the main handle to the body of the unit as shown in fig.1 using

the fixing screws provided.

fig.1

fig. 4

4.1 It is important that the air inlet and air outlet remain unobstructed at all times.

4.2 The following minimum safety distances are recommended between the unit and

walls or objects. 

Minimum distance from air inlet - 0.6m.



Minimum distance from air outlet - 3.0m.

4.3 Ideally the unit should be installed in the centre of the room to guarantee the best

possible air circulation.

4.4 DO NOT install the unit near heat sources. Keep windows and doors closed whilst the

unit is operating.

4.5 Dual voltage models (XRC55 & 90). The dual voltage models are designed to run off

either a 230V 50Hz supply or a 110V 50Hz supply. To select the required voltage do

the following:



Remove the two fixing screws holding the voltage selector cover plate.



Move the selector switch to the required voltage. 

Reverse the cover plate and screw it back into position.

4.6 Water drain. Drained water can be collected and eliminated in 2 ways:

A) Using the tank supplied as shown in fig.2. The tank must be emptied when the yelow tank full LED lights up. Switch the unit off

before emptying the tank and disconnect the mains plug. Remove the tank carefully to avoid spills and empty it. Slide the tank back

into the unit ensuring that the level sensor is correctly placed within the tank.

NOTE: When the dehumidifier is switched off and then restarted, the compressor will not start to run immediately but will cut in again

after some minutes. This waiting time protects the compressor from repeated starts at short intervals.

B) Water may be removed by connecting a plastic hose with an internal diameter of 14mm to the hose holder in the drain

compartment. ( Plastic hose not supplied.) See fig.3.

Special attention should be paid not to raise the outlet of the hose over the drain level of the unit. (Max height 1ft, see fig.4) Failure to

do this will result in water spillage and flooding of the unit.

4.7 Connection of a Hygrostat. A hygrostat control is also available as an optional accessory. This enables the unit to function automatically.

The remote hygrostsat will be located near the air inlet and is connected to the unit via a jack plug on the units control panel
