Frequently Asked Questions - SD 2 Aerial

How do I set the desired humidity level on the Aerial SD 2?

Turn the humidistat knob to your desired humidity level (typically 40-60% RH). The dehumidifier will run until the room reaches that level, then shut off automatically.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the washable filter every 2 weeks for optimal performance. Remove the filter, wash with water and mild detergent, let dry completely before reinserting.

What does the full tank indicator mean?

When the water tank is full, the indicator light will illuminate and the unit will automatically shut off. Empty the tank and replace it to restart operation.

Can I use a continuous drain hose?

Yes. Connect a standard garden hose (inner diameter 15 mm) to the drain outlet at the back of the unit. Ensure the hose slopes downward for proper drainage.

What is the noise level of the SD 2?

The noise level is approximately 40 dB(A), which is comparable to a quiet conversation. It should not disturb sleep if placed in a bedroom.

The dehumidifier is not collecting water, what could be wrong?

Check that the humidistat is set lower than the current room humidity. Also ensure the filter is clean, the tank is properly inserted, and the room temperature is above 5°C.

How do I defrost the unit in cold weather?

The SD 2 has an automatic defrost function. When frost builds up on the coils, the compressor will stop and the fan will run until defrost is complete. This is normal.

What is the recommended room size for this dehumidifier?

Ideal for rooms up to 20 m² (215 ft²) with standard ceiling height. For larger spaces, performance may be reduced.

How do I clean the water tank?

Empty the tank and rinse with mild soap and warm water. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Clean monthly to prevent mold.

Where can I find spare parts or repair service?

Contact Aerial customer service or authorized service centers. Common spare parts like filters and tanks can be ordered online. For internal repairs, always use a qualified technician.

In this box you find tips and information concerning the use of the device.

Designated use

The sound absorber SD2 is intended to be used as additional equipment to minimise the noise of side channel compressors and noise boxes during drying of the screed insulation layer using a vacuum technique.

The sound absorber SD2 is designed exclusively for use at atmospheric pressure. Operating the adsorption dryers within the limits of designated use also involves observing the specified operating conditions (refer to page66). Any use of the device going beyond the designated use specified above is considered contrary to its designated use.

Misuse is concerned if the sound absorber SD2 is used for purposes not included in designated use. In these cases the manufacturer does not assume any liability for personal and material damage.

2 Safety

5 Operation and operator control

Danger of injury and damage to appliance

Inadmissible ambient conditions and improper operation of the device may constitute a risk.

Read the instruction manual before commissioning the sound absorber SD2.

In the vacuum mode: Connect the pressure connection of the side channel compressor or of a noise box (VP2/VP3) via a hose with the connection on the intake side (see fig. 1.2). Optionally you can insert an active carbon filter into the sound absorber for neutralising the odour.

In the pressure mode: Connect the suction connection of the side channel compressor or of a noise box (VP2/VP3) via a hose with the connection on the outlet side (see fig. 1.1). Optionally you can insert an air filter into the sound absorber to protect the side channel compressor from soiling.

6 Maintenance and service

Filter change

Damage to the device

Cleaning agents can cause damage to surfaces.

→ Use only mild detergents.

The cleaning intervals depend largely on the operating conditions. Therefore check your sound absorber SD2 after each drying operation.

In order to guarantee trouble-free functioning of the device it must be regularly cleaned, and in particular the active carbon filter or air filter must be checked at regular intervals. Proceed as follows:
