hazards resulting from an ignition of the refrigerant by an
electric furnace, cooking stove or another ignition source.
• Only position the device in rooms where there is no source
of ignition (e.g. open flames, an active gas appliance or an
electric heater).
• Please note that the refrigerant is odourless.
• Only install the device in compliance with the national
installation regulations.
• Please observe the local regulations.
• Observe the national gas regulations.
• Only install, operate and store the device TTK 75 E in a
room measuring more than 4m2.
• Store the device in a way that no mechanical damage can
occur.
• Please note that the connected pipelines must not contain
any sources of ignition.
• R290 is a refrigerant that complies with European
environmental regulations. No part of the cooling circuit
may be perforated.
• Observe the maximum refrigerant capacity in the technical
data.
• Do not drill through or burn.
• Do not use any means other than those recommended by
the manufacturer for accelerating the defrosting process.
• Every person working with or at the refrigerant circuit must
be able to provide a certificate of qualification issued by a
body accredited by the industry, demonstrating their
competence in the safe use of refrigerants based on a
procedure well-known in the industry.
• Service work may only be carried out in accordance with
the manufacturer's specifications. If maintenance and
repair work require the support of additional persons, the
person trained in handling flammable refrigerants shall
continuously supervise the work carried out.
• The entire refrigerant circuit is a maintenance-free,
hermetically sealed system and may only be maintained or
repaired by specialist companies for cooling and air-
conditioning or by Trotec.

Information about the device
Device description
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.
Depending on the air temperature and the relative humidity, the
condensed water either drops continuously or only during the
defrost phase through the integrated drain nozzle into the
condensation tank below. It is fitted with a float to measure the
filling level.
The device has a control panel for operating and controlling the
functions.
Once the maximum filling level of the condensation tank is
reached or in case the condensation tank is not installed
correctly, the condensation tank indicator light (see chapter
Operation) on the control panel is illuminated. The device
switches off. The condensation tank indicator light only goes out
again once the emptied condensation tank is reinserted.
Optionally, the condensed water can be drained by attaching a
hose at the condensation connection.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx.
30%.
In addition, the device may also be used as a kind of clothes
dryer to dry wet laundry in living or working spaces.
Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the
room temperature may rise slightly.
