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 device comes with a hot gas automatic defrost system.
Here, the hot gas of the refrigerant circuit is used actively for
fast and effective defrosting. This makes the device operate
effectively even at temperatures below 15°C.
The comfort function allows the device to operate particularly
quietly and thus makes it suitable for the use in inhabited
surroundings.
To discharge the condensate, the device is equipped with an
integrated condensate pump with automatic switch-off function
that is able to operate up to a height of max.10m.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to
approx. 30%.
The device has a control panel for operating and controlling the
functions.

Inserting the air filter
Note
Do not operate the device without an air filter inserted
into the air inlet!
Without the air filter, the inside of the device will be
heavily contaminated. This could reduce the
performance and result in damage to the device.
• Make sure that the air filter is installed before switching
the device on.
Positioning the condensation drain hose
Note
Do not use the device without the condensation drain
hose connected!
üA suitable hose (diameter: 8mm) is ready for use.
üThe device is switched off.
1. Connect the condensation drain hose to the hose
connection.
2. Make sure that the condensation drain hose is properly
connected to the device and free of damage.
3. Depending on the application, position the end of the
condensation drain hose as follows:
ðPlace a sufficiently dimensioned container (at least
90litres) near the device and insert the hose end. The
device is equipped with a pump and is able to pump the
water up to a height of10m. Check the filling level of
the container regularly.
ðCompletely unwind the hose and guide the hose end to
a water drain. Avoid kinking or pinching the hose. The
hose end must not lay in the water!
Connecting the power cable
• Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains
socket.

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.
Switching the device on
Once you have completely installed the device as described in
the chapter Assembly and start-up, you can switch it on.
1. Switch the device on by setting the mains switch(11) to
positionI.
2. Make sure that the mains switch button(11) is illuminated
and that the status lamp(12) flashes slowly.
3. Adjust the room humidity level with the rotary switch (10).
4. Once condensate forms, the condensate pump is activated
automatically. To activate the condensate pump manually,
press the condensate outlet button(13). When the
condensate pump is activated, the condensate outlet
button(13) is illuminated.
Continuous operation
In continuous operation mode, the device dehumidifies the air
constantly, regardless of the humidity. To start continuous
operation mode, set the rotary switch(10) to Max.
Adjusting the room humidity level
1. Set the desired humidity level via the rotary switch(10) of
the hygrostat.
2. After approx. 24hours, check the humidity with a
thermohygrometer.
ðIf the air is too dry (insufficient humidity level), turn the
rotary switch (10) slightly towards MIN.
ðIf the air is too humid, turn the rotary switch (10) slightly
towards MAX.
3. Wait 24hours every time you have changed the hygrostat
setting and repeat the process until the desired room
humidity is reached.
ðOnce the set room humidity is reached, the compressor
and the fan of the device switch off automatically.
ðIf the set room humidity is exceeded, the compressor
and the fan switch back on automatically. The room air
is dehumidified.

dehumidifier TTK Qube
Comfort function
The device operates particularly quietly in comfort mode. To
activate the comfort function, set the FUNCTION flip switch(14)
to I. To return to the power function, set the FUNCTION flip
switch(14) to II.
Automatic defrost
At low ambient temperatures, ice may form at the evaporator
during dehumidification. The device carries out an automatic
defrost by means of the hot gas feed. Here, a hot cooling agent
is led into the iced evaporator for its surfaces to defrost.
The hot gas automatic defrost system integrated in the device
automatically switches on the defrost cycle at regular intervals.
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.
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.
Info
The compressor always starts with a delay. This
protects the compressor and thus increases its
lifetime. When you switch on the device, the
compressor will switch on with a delay of
approx.3min. This delay is also enabled in hygrostat
operation. If the room humidity exceeds the setting of
the selection switch, the compressor will only switch
back on after a delay.
Shutdown
Warning of electrical voltage
Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.
• Press the condensate outlet button(13) to drain the
residual water.
• Switch the device off by setting the mains switch to
position0.
• Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
• If necessary, remove the condensation drain hose and any
residual fluid from it.
• Clean the device according to the Maintenance chapter.
• Store the device according to the Transport and storage
chapter.
Available accessories
Warning
Only use accessories and additional equipment
specified in the instructions.
Using insertion tools or accessories other than those
specified in the instructions may cause a risk of injury.
