Safety warnings for devices containing flammable
refrigerants
• Only position the device in rooms where potentially leaking
refrigerant cannot accumulate. Unventilated rooms, in
which the device is installed, operated or stored, must be
built in a way to ensure that potentially leaking refrigerant
cannot accumulate. This serves to avoid fire or explosion
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 in a room
measuring more than 4m2.
• 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.
• R454C comes with a low GWP factor (Global Warning
Potential) of146 and an ODP (ozone depletion potential)
of0.
• 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.
The condensate is discharged through a pressure-resistant pipe
connection by means of a condensation drain hose. For the
collection you can for instance place a sufficiently dimensioned
collection container beside the construction dryer.
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.35%.
Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the
room temperature may rise slightly.
