Device description
The device uses the principle of condensation to automatically
dehumidify rooms. It can be used in continuous operation.
The fan sucks in humid room air through the air inlet (2), the air
filter (5), the evaporator and 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 evapo-
rator fins as either condensation or rime. The dehumidified, cooled
air is warmed again and blown out via the air outlet (8). The drier
air thus conditioned mixes with the air in the room. The humidity
in the room where the device is positioned is reduced as air con-
stantly circulates through the device. Depending on the air tem-
perature and the relative humidity, the condensed water either
drops into the condensation tray continuously or only during the
defrost phases. The condensate is fed through a pressure-resist-
ant pipe connection and out of the device via the pre-assembled
condensation drain hose (7).
The condensed water can be discharged using a retrofitted con-
densate pump.
For easy operation and transport, the device is fitted with a mains
switch (10), an operating hours counter (3), a bar handle (1) and
wheels (4). Two rubber feet (6) prevent the device from rolling
away.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx.
35 %. Due to the heat radiation generated during operation, the
room temperature may 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 (3)) by a
consumption value of one kilowatt per hour to determine the
approximate power consumption.
To determine the precise power consumption, an optionally
available energy cost gauge can be connected between the
construction dryer and the power source. Contact your Trotec
customer service.

To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with wheels and
a bar handle. If necessary, transport the device with the help of
another person. To lift the device, use a fork lift or pallet jack.
Before transporting the device, observe the following:
1. Switch off the device at the mains switch (see chapter Operat-
ing elements).
2. Remove the mains plug from the mains socket. Do not use the
power cable to drag the device!
3. Empty the condensation drain hose or the condensate pump
(optional). Check for dripping condensation.
4. Hold the bar handle in both hands and carefully tilt the device.
5. Transport the device on its wheels.
After transporting the device, observe the following:
1. Set up the device in an upright position after transport.
2. Make sure that the two rubber feet are placed level on the
ground. The rubber feet lock the device and prevent it from
rolling away.
Adjusting the bar handle
Depending on your requirements, the bar handle can be installed
horizontally or vertically. To adjust the bar handle, carry out the
following steps on both sides of the device:
1. Loosen screw (15).
2. Remove screws (16) and (17).
3. Turn the bar handle by 90°.
4. Insert screws (16) and (17) in the other position.
5. Tighten all screws (15, 16, 17).
Storage
When out of use, store the device as follows:
•dry,
• under a roof,
• in an upright position where it is protected from dust and direct
sunlight,
• with a plastic cover to protect it from invasive dust, if neces-
sary.
• The storage temperature is the same as the range given for the
operating temperature in the chapter Technical data.

EN Operating Manual – Dehumidifier TTK 400 8
• After being switched on, the device operates fully automatical-
ly.
• Avoid open doors and windows.
Positioning
When positioning the device, observe the minimum distance from
walls and other objects specified in the chapter Technical data.
• Set the device up in a level and stable position.
• When positioning the device, keep a sufficient distance to heat
sources.
• If possible, set up the device in the middle of a room. When us-
ing several devices, make sure that the distance between
them is the same.
• When positioning the device, particularly in wet areas, secure
it locally with an RCD (residual current device) which complies
with the respective regulations.
• Make sure that extension cables are completely unrolled.
• Make sure that the 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 (The device's start-up current can exceed the nom-
inal current by four or five times. Also note this fact when using
several devices at one generator).
Notes regarding the dehumidification performance
The dehumidification performance depends on:
• the layout of the room
• the room temperature
• the relative humidity
The higher the room temperature and relative humidity, the
greater the dehumidification performance.
For operation in living rooms, a relative humidity of approx. 50–
60 % is sufficient. In store rooms and archives, the humidity
should not exceed approx. 50 %.

Start-up
Inserting the air filter
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 the application, position the end of the conden-
sation drain hose as follows:
– Place a sufficiently dimensioned container (at least 90 litres)
beside the device and insert the hose end. Check the filling
level of the container regularly.
– Position the end of the condensation drain hose above a wa-
ter drain. For larger distances, a longer hose of the same
type can also be used.
– The device can also be operated with a condensate pump.
Contact your Trotec customer service.
3. Ensure that the condensation drain hose always descends.
