Safety

EN Operating Manual – Dehumidifier TTR 56 E 3

Description of the device

The device operates on the desiccant principle, without

compressor or cooling agent.

The fully automatic control and the condensation tank (6) with

integrated overflow protection ensure fault-free operation.

The fan sucks in damp room air via the air inlet (4) with air

filter (7), the condenser and the desiccant wheel located behind

it.

Within the internal regeneration circuit the air is led via a heating

element, it dries the desiccant wheel and leads the moist, warm

air through the condenser. At the cooler condenser, heat is

withdrawn from the room air and cooled below dew point. The

water vapour contained in the room air precipitates in form of

condensate. The condensate drops into the condensation

tank (6).

The drier air, thus conditioned, is fed back to the room air via the

air outlet (2). The drier air mixes with the air in the room. The

relative humidity in the room where the device is positioned is

reduced by the constant circulation of the room air.

A float is attached inside the condensation tank (6), which in case

of a filled condensation tank interrupts the dehumidification.

When switching off, the device emits a triple acoustic signal and

the condensation tank indicator light on the control panel (1) is

illuminated (see chapter Operating elements). The indicator light

only goes out again once the emptied condensation tank (6) is

reinserted.

The device was designed to reduce the humidity level in living and

working spaces.
