Information about the device

Description of the device

The device uses the principle of condensation to automatically

dehumidify rooms.

The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet, the air filter,

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 condensation or rime. The dehumidified,

cooled air is slightly warmed at the condenser and blown out

again. 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 constantly circulates through the device.

The condensation is fed from the device through the

condensation drain hose connected to the hose connector into

an external container or drain.

Optionally, the condensed water can also be discharged from

the device by means of a retrofitted condensate pump (see

chapter Installing the condensate pump).

For easy operation and transport, the device is fitted with an

on/ off switch, an operating hours counter, a transport handle

and wheels. Two feet with rubber buffers prevent the device

from rolling away.

The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx.

32 %. Due to the heat radiation generated during operation, the

room temperature may rise by approx. 1–4°C.

The compressor comes with a temperature limitation protecting

the compressor and other components from overheating. The

compressor is automatically switched off when a temperature of

35°C is exceeded.

The device is optionally available with an operating element with

dual counter (see the image at the top right). The dual counter

registers both the operating hours and the energy consumption

and is certified according to the MID (Measuring Instruments

Directive 2004/22/EC). The kWh display is factory-calibrated

and may be used for accounting purposes. Contact your Trotec

customer service.

The Status LED(15) flashes once a second during normal

operation. If it flashes more frequently, lights up permanently or

does not light up at all, there might be a fault, see chapter

Errors and faults.

Switching the device on

Once you have completely installed the device as described in

the Start-up chapter, you can switch it on.

1. Ensure that the condensation drain hose is properly

connected to the device and is free of damage.

2. Position a sufficiently large container (at least 20litres; we

recommend a 60-litre mortar tub) beside the device and

insert the hose end. Check the filling level of the container

regularly.

3. Make sure that the condensation drain hose is installed

with a continuous decline.

4. Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains

socket.

5. Switch on the device at the mains switch (14).

6. Ensure that the mains switch (14) is lit.

7. Adjust the room humidity level with the rotary switch (13).

Info

The compressor always starts with a delay. This

protects the compressor and thus increases its

lifetime. This delay is enabled during optional hygrostat

operation. If the room humidity exceeds the setting of

the selection switch, the compressor will only switch

back on after a delay. The fan keeps running

independently of the compressor.

Continuous operation mode

In continuous operation mode, the device dehumidifies the air

constantly, regardless of the humidity. To start continuous

operation mode, set the rotary switch(13) to Max.

Automatic defrost

If the room temperature is below 11°C, the evaporator will

freeze during dehumidification. The device will then carry out an

automatic defrost. The duration of the defrost process can vary.

• Do not switch off the device during automatic defrost. Do

not remove the mains plug from the mains socket.

10 EN

dehumidifier TTK 655 S

Temperature limitation (overheating protection)

The device comes with a temperature limitation. It serves to

protect e.g. the compressor from overheating.

• Upper temperature limit: +35°C +/- 2°C

• Lower temperature limit: -3°C +/- 2°C

If the ambient temperature exceeds or falls below these limits,

the device automatically switches off the compressor; only the

fan will keep running. This feature protects the device from

overloading since high temperatures and high humidity levels

expose the device to extreme stresses. Moreover, drying is no

longer economical at such high temperatures and also poses

dangers for the inventory of the room to be dried. Please note

that the switch-off function works with a switch-on hysteresis of

-2°C.

Operation with condensate pump (optional)

Note

The connection for the hose adapter is located in the

inside of the device.

Warning of electrical voltage

Always disconnect the condensate pump from the plug

connection before connecting the pump. This process

has to be carried out with the device disconnected

from the mains.

Otherwise there is a risk of an electric shock!

Optionally, the condensed water can also be discharged from

the device by means of a retrofitted condensate pump (see

chapter Available accessories). With a pump performance of up

to 50m and a maximum pump height of 4m, the condensate

can even be continuously discharged across storeys of a

building.

Shutdown

Warning of electrical voltage

Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.

• Switch off the device.

• Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out

of the mains socket.

• Clean the device according to the Maintenance chapter.

• Store the device according to the Storage chapter.
