Keep for later reference. 7 Product description The adsorption-dehumidifier controls the air humidity in the room. The moist room air (also called ‘process air’) is drawn into the process air inlet and led through a turning rotor. The rotor fea- tures a metal silicate coating which serves to absorb the moisture from the process air. The moisture absorbed by the rotor is driven out again by a heated air current, the so-called regeneration air. A built-in, self-regulating heating ele- ment heats the regeneration air. The moist, warm air current exits the unit at the regeneration outlet and must be directed out of the room by an exhaust hose or air duct. The dry air is emitted into the room through the dry air outlet. The ASE 400 can be used to dehumidify and ventilate or only to ventilate a room. Package contents

Identification plate The identification plate is on the hous- ing. 8 Safety Intended use and conditions of use The ASE series adsorption-dehumidifier is used to remove humidity from air where there is atmospheric pressure in closed indoor rooms, such as base- ments, garages or warehouses. The ASE 400 can also be used as a fan without dehumidifying. The ASE 200/300 can be used in combi- nation with a side channel blower or a noise box. The adsorption-dehumidifier must only be used in compliance with the Tech- nical Data (see last page). During operation, the adsorption-dehu- midifier creates negative pressure in the room, drawing in air, particles, smoke and gas from the outside or from adja- cent rooms, which may present a haz- ard. The unit may only be operated in rooms in which it is easily possible to draw in air and in which no gas, smoke or similar and no objects such as paper may be drawn in and in which operation of the unit does not negatively impact chimneys, ovens or other equipment. Prior to using the adsorption-dehumidi- fier, take stock of these situations and17

implement appropriate preventative measures such as switching off devices or sealing off dangerous rooms. Persons with physical, sensory or mental restrictions and children are not permit- ted to use the adsorption-dehumidifier. Every user must have read and under- stood the operating instructions. Foreseeable misuse The adsorption-dehumidifier must not be used:

• In environments in which particles, gas, smoke or similar could be drawn in by the negative pressure created, negatively impacting chim- neys, ovens or other similar equip- ment.

• In rooms with potentially explosive atmospheres.

• In rooms with an aggressive atmos- phere (e.g. caused by chemicals).

• In rooms with water with a pH value below 7.0 or above 7.4.

• In rooms with salt or liquids with a salt content > 1 %, e.g. brine baths.

• In moist areas of indoor swimming pools.

• In rooms with ozone-treated air, high solvent concentrations or high dust pollution. General safety information WARNING! Electrocution! Working on live components or water on live components can cause life-threaten- ing electrocution. Avoid contact between water and live components. Always switch off and unplug the adsorption-dehumidifier and drain away any water before moving it to another location. Only allow the manufacturer or au- thorised personnel to carry out work on electric components. WARNING! Risk of burn! Only allow the manufacturer or au- thorised personnel to carry out work on internal components. Do not reach into the regeneration air. CAUTION! Cutting and crushing haz- ard! Do not reach into the safety guard openings. 9 Unpacking Procedure

1. Check that the package contents

are complete. Contact your stockist in the event of damage or missing contents.

2. Remove the packaging and dispose

of it in accordance with local regula- tions. 10 Transport and connection Transport WARNING! Crushing as a result of in- stability! Transport the adsorption-dehumidi- fier in an upright position and secure it so that it cannot tip over or slip. Position the adsorption-dehumidi- fier on a stable, even surface. When stored up high, secure the ad- sorption-dehumidifier so it cannot fall down. WARNING! Crushing or cutting risk from reaching into the safety guard openings! Use the handles to transport the ad- sorption-dehumidifier.18 Do not reach into the safety guard openings. CAUTION! Crushing or ergonomic damage when transporting the ad- sorption-dehumidifier! Use the handles to transport the ad- sorption-dehumidifier. ASE 400 should always be trans- ported by two people. Procedure

1. Make sure that the hoses (optional

accessory) are removed from the regeneration air outlet and the dry air outlet and that the power cable is disconnected from the unit.

2. Make sure that no particles or

smoke, gas or similar may be drawn in and that the negative pressure created does not have a negative impact on safety or on the unit.

3. Transport the adsorption-dehumidi-

fier to the place of use. ATTENTION! Damage to the device! During operation, suction is created at the process air inlet. This suction may draw in paper or other light objects. When the process air inlet is covered, the unit may be damaged. Make sure that no objects may be drawn in. The air must circulate freely. Do not cover the air openings. ASE 400: Connecting the external control system If required, the ASE 400 may be con- trolled externally. The external control system must be suitable for at least 10 A. Procedure

1. Connect the external control system

to the port for the external control system.

2. Follow the operating instructions for

the external control system. Connecting the hoses/air ducts In order to operate properly, a hose or air duct must be used to drive the re- generation air out of the room (e.g. through a window). To do this, a suita- ble hose/air duct must be connected to the regeneration air outlet. If required, a hose can be used to guide the dry air to the place of use. To do this, connect a suitable hose to the dry air out- let. ATTENTION! Inadequate appliance output! Do not bend the hose. Do not place any objects on the hose. Procedure for regeneration air

1. Connect hose/air duct (DN 80 mm)

to the regeneration air outlet and secure with a clamp, for example. ASE 200/300: Regeneration air outlet on the front ASE 400: Regeneration air outlet on the back.

2. Lay the hose/air duct so the regen-

eration air is directed out of the room. Make sure that the hose slopes away from the adsorption- dehumidifier so that no condensate can get into the unit. If it is not possible to create a slope, bend the hose/air duct down slightly. Drill a hole (D=4 mm) at the lowest point of the bend so the condensate can drain. Procedure for dry air

1. ASE 200/300 only: The dry air out-

let is on the back. The connection plate can be turned, depending on the type of hose (ASE 200: 2 x DN 50 mm or 1 x DN 80 mm ASE 300: 2 x DN 50 mm or 1 x DN19

100 mm). To do this, undo the screws (1) and align the desired opening so it is in front of the grille. Secure the con- nection plate using the screws.

2. If required, connect the hose to the

dry air outlet and secure. ASE 400: Dry air outlet on the front (DN 100 mm).

3. Position the end of the hose at the

place of use. Electrical connection Procedure

1. Make sure that the supply voltage

is the same as the connection volt- age in the technical data.

2. Provide an adequate fuse for the

socket and the power supply.

3. Install an earth leakage circuit

breaker in damp rooms and build- ing sites.

4. Make sure that the mains plug is

suitable for the socket of the build- ing.

5. Make sure that the socket used is

6. Plug the mains plug into the socket.

11 Operation WARNING! Negative effects caused by negative pressure. Make sure that no particles or smoke, gas or similar may be drawn in. Make sure that the negative pres- sure created has no negative effect on safety or on the unit. CAUTION! Risk of burns due to hot regeneration air. Do not reach into the regeneration air. Make sure there is a hose/air duct attached to the regeneration air outlet. ASE 200/300: Dehumidifying the room ATTENTION! Damage to the device! When using the device in combina- tion with a side channel blower/noise box: Always put the humidity switch to the ‘I’ position. NOTE: The ASE 200 must stand up- right and may not be tilted, otherwise it does not function properly. Procedure

1. Make sure that the regeneration air

is directed out of the room via a hose.

2. Set on/off button to “I”.

3. Turn the humidity switch from “0” to

“I”. Set the desired humidity, e.g. 20%, at the humidity switch. The device will only start if the actual room humidity is higher than the target room humidity. The dehumidifier will start operating. The adsorption-dehumidifier runs until the target room humidity has been reached, then it will stop running. If the humidity switch is at “I”, the adsorption-dehumidi- fier will run continuously.
