Code E4 can be cleared by emptying the water tank. Consult the Alarm entry in the Operation section for details.

For Codes E0, E1, E2, and E3 follow these steps:

  1. Power cycle the unit by unplugging it from the source for 5 minutes.
  2. Plug the unit back in.
  3. Restart the unit.

If the code remains clear, continue to operate the unit as normal. If the code returns, please contact Tripp Lite for further instructions.

dF Code

“dF” will display when the unit detects a condition in which the coil is operating below 33.8^ F ( 1^ C) for more than 15 minutes.

During a dF code event, the unit's fans will run without the compressor to prevent the evaporator from freezing up. Once the coil temperature is above 33.8^ (1^) , the compressor will resume normal operation.

If this condition persists, the unit is operating in an environment that is too cold. Tripp Lite recommends that the unit operate in Dehumidify mode only if operating temperatures are below 68^ F ( 20^ C). See Low Temperature Operation in section 16-3 for more information.

Storage and Service

Storage

Before storing the unit, confirm that the ducts and vents are secured or removed and cared for properly. Also confirm that the unit is drained of condensation.
