2Operating Manual – Dehumidifier TTK 1500 EN
Description of the device
This device uses the principle of condensation to automatically
dehumidify rooms. To do so, the device can be used in continuous
operation.
The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet (5), the air
filter (7), the evaporator and to the condenser located behind it.
The air is cooled at the cold evaporator until it is below the dew
point. Water vapour contained in the room air precipitates on the
evaporator fins as either condensation or frost. The dehumidified,
cooled air is warmed again and blown out from the air outlet (6).
The drier air which is prepared in this way mixes with the air in the
room. The humidity in the room where the device is positioned is
reduced as air constantly circulates through the device.
Depending on the air temperature and the relative humidity, the
condensed water either drops continuously or only during the
defrost phase into the condensation tray. The condensation is fed
through a pressure-resistant pipe connection and out of the device
at a preinstalled condensation drain hose (4).
The condensed water can be diverted by retrofitting a
condensation pump.
For easy operation, the device is fitted with a control panel (2) and
for easy transport, it is fitted with a bar handle (1) and wheels (3).
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room by up to
approx. 35 %. Because of the heat radiation which is tied up in
operation, the room temperature can rise by approx. 1 – 3 °C.

Technical data
Power consumption
The device's power consumption depends on the current room
temperature and relative humidity.
Multiply the operating hours (see operating hours counter (12)) by
a consumption value of one kilowatt per hour to determine the
approximate power consumption.
To determine the precise power consumption, a separate energy
cost gauge can be set between the construction dryer and the
power source. Contact Trotec customer service if you want this
alternative version.

•dry,
• with a roof overhead,
• in an upright position where it is protected from dust and direct
sunlight,
• with a plastic cover to protect it from invasive dust, if
necessary.
• The storage temperature is the same as the range given for the
operating temperature in the chapter "Technical data".
Transport

EN Operating Manual – Dehumidifier TTK 1500 7
• After being switched on, the device operates fully
automatically.
• Avoid open doors and windows.
Positioning
When positioning the device, observe the minimum distance from
walls of other objects as described in chapter "Technical data".
• Set the device in a level and stable position.
• When positioning the device, keep a sufficient distance away
from sources of heat.
• If possible, set the device in the middle of a room. If using
multiple devices, ensure that the spaces between devices is
equal.
• When positioning the device in wet areas, secure the device
locally with an RCD (Residual Current protective Device) which
complies with the appropriate regulations.
• Ensure that extension cords are completely unrolled.
• Ensure that power supply's voltage and current comply with
the specifications on the device's nameplate.
• When using a generator, ensure that the generator supplies at
least 4 kW of power (device starting current can exceed the
nominal current by four or five times. Also note this fact when
using several devices at one generator).
Notes regarding the dehumidifying capacity
The dehumidifying capacity depends on:
• the spatial composition of the room
• the room temperature
• the relative humidity
The higher the room temperature and relative humidity, the higher
the dehumidifying capacity.
For using in living rooms, a relative humidity of approx. 50-60 %
is sufficient. In store rooms and archives, the humidity should not
exceed approx. 50 %.

Positioning the condensation drain hose
Note:
The condensation drain hose is already installed when the device
is delivered.
1. Ensure that the condensation drain hose is properly connected
to the device and is free of damage.
2. Depending on use, position the end of the condensation drain
hose as follows:
– Position a sufficiently large container (at least 90 litres)
beside the device and insert the hose end. Check the fill level
of the container regularly.
– Position the end of the condensation drain hose above a
water drain. For larger distances, a longer hose of the same
type can also be used.

humidity.
If you choose to operate the device with an optional humidistat, set
the desired humidity at the humidistat (see operating manual of
the optional humidistat).
Automatic defrost
Depending on the air temperature and the relative humidity, the
evaporator fins may become covered in frost. The hot gas
automatic defrost which is installed in the device switches back on
as needed. Dehumidify mode is briefly interrupted during
defrosting.
Shut down procedure
1. Switch off the device at the mains switch (13).
2. Empty any condensation from the device by pressing the
button for draining residual water from the condensation pump
(optional).
3. Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.

• Check the mains power (400 V/3~/50 Hz).
• Check the mains plug for damages.
• Check whether the mains switch (13) is in the "ON" position.
• Check the fuse (home).
• If you operate the device with a humidistat, check the desired
humidity. The humidity in the room must be above the selected
range. Reduce that the selected humidity.
• Have the electrics checked by a specialist company for cooling
and air-conditioning or by Trotec.
The device runs but forms no condensation:
• Check the condensation drain hose is positioned correctly.
• Check that the condensation pump functions properly. Check
for abnormal vibrations and sounds. Remove external dirt.
• Check the room temperature. Check the device's permissible
working range complies with the technical data.
• Ensure that the relative humidity complies with the technical
data.
• If you operate the device with a humidistat, check the desired
humidity. The humidity in the room must be above the selected
range. Reduce that the selected humidity.
• Check the air filter is not dirty. If necessary, clean or replace
the air filter.
The device is loud or vibrates; condensation leaks:
• Check whether the device is standing upright and on an even
surface.
The device gets very warm, is loud or is losing performance:
• Check the air inlets and air filter are not dirty. Remove external
dirt.
• Check the inside of the device for dirt (see chapter
"Maintenance"). Clean the inside of the device as described in
the chapter "Cleaning the inside with compressed air".
