Information about the device
Device description
The device HG 135 permits humidity regulation in combination
with dehumidifiers or humidifiers between 40%RH and
90%RH.
For this purpose, the mains plug of the dehumidifier or
humidifier is connected to the device’s safety socket and the
desired humidity level is set.
With its integrated sensors the device measures the actual
relative humidity and switches the dehumidifier or humidifier on
or off correspondingly.

Disposal
Always dispose of packing materials in an environmentally
friendly manner and in accordance with the applicable local
disposal regulations.
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste
electrical or electronic equipment is taken from Directive
2012/19/EU. It states that this device must not be disposed of
with the household waste at the end of its life. You will find
collection points for free return of waste electrical and electronic
equipment in your vicinity. The addresses can be obtained from
your municipality or local administration. You can also find out
about other return options that apply for many EU countries on
the website https://hub.trotec.com/?id=45090. Otherwise,
please contact an official recycling centre for electronic and
electrical equipment authorised for your country.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms
of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative
effects for the environment and human health caused by the
disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
Only for United Kingdom
According to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Regulations 2013 (SI2013/3113) (as amended) devices that are
no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of
in an environmentally friendly manner.
