THANKYOU!

Thank you for choosing this exciting innovation in drying using DryFan technology.

A unique product and a revolution to the way we keep living spaces, lofts, basements, boats, holiday homes, garages and storage areas dry all day and every day.

This dehumidifier is a tough and can even be used for industrial processes and applications.

Designed to be used almost anywhere, in any orientation and will even work upside down.

These units will perform similar to compressor dehumidifiers rated at double the capacity at normal room

conditions.

Using DryFan® technology these dehumidifiers will out-perform compressor dehumidifiers by 3-4 times below 50^ . Where compressor dehumidifiers stop working at 41^ these units using DryFan® technology will continue to dry spaces even continuing to work to -4^ making them ideal for unheated rooms and out-buildings.

40% RH - 60% RH
We feel comfortable within these settings.

It is important that you read these instructions carefully before installing and using your new dehumidifier.

Please keep them in a safe place for future reference.

You can take out your unit easily if you open the box from the top side.

HOW OUR UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY WORKS

US

Your dehumidifier uses DryFan technology and uses a continuously rotating moisture absorbing patented wheel termed a "Rotor".

A highly efficient yet low noise fan draws air into the unit (Process Air) and forces it through a section of the rotor. As the air passes through the rotor, the honeycomb, of hygroscopic membranes absorbs almost all of the moisture creating an extremely dry air-stream.

Most of this air-stream (approx 85% is discharged directly through the 'Dry Air Outlet'.

However, a portion (approx 15% ) of this air (Regen Air) is separated and directed through a special heater bank (Regen Heater) where the air's temperature is raised.

This heated air is then channeled back through a section of the Rotor.

As this hot air passes through the membranes, its higher temperature drives out the previously absorbed moisture and discharges it as warm wet air through the 'Wet Air Out' duct.

As the wheel rotates, this process of collecting and discharging moisture is continuous.

The wet air outlet is 1.5 inch in diameter making it easy to vent the moisture away using standard push fit waste water connectors.

Water is not drained away as a liquid, it is vented away similar to a tumble dryer.

HOW OUR UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY WORKS (2)

PATENTED DESICCANT ROTOR

The Desiccant Rotor is the heart of the DryFan® system. It is an array of especially absorbent membranes - patent protected - arranged as a series of corrugations (as shown in the cut-away image) to give a vast surface area that was developed over many years, making it an extremely efficient moisture collector.

PATENTED REGEN HEATER

A patented ceramic PTC Regen Heater. (PTC Positive Temperature Coefficient) is self regulating so never to overheat. However, as triple safety we include a separate overheat smart sensor in the dehumidifier. The patented technology is both safe and energy efficient and can never overheat to hazardous temperatures, even if vents become accidentally blocked.

HOW OUR UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY WORKS (3)

FAN SYSTEM

All models use specialized fan technology to give quiet performance but type of fan will differ by model capacity.

Note: External ductwork will reduce restrict airflow and therefore the amount of water the dehumidifiers will extract. To maximize airflow and water extraction always keep any ducting to minimum. Maximum lengths in feet of any ducts are outlined in the table.

Model Maxim	um damp air in duct length	Maximum wet air out duct length	Maximum dry filtered air out duct length
EPD30 & EPD30 PRO	2 3:3		No duct flange / not applicable
EPD50 & EPD50 PRO	3:3 10 10

POSITIONING EPD30/EPD30 PRO

POSITIONING

The models have been designed for indoor use however, they can be placed inside or outside the room to be dried.

Internal Positioning:

When positioning the unit inside the room, place it centrally, ensuring inlet and outlet ducts are clear of obstruction. If required, ducts can be connected to the outlet and/or inlet (where fitted) to direct the drying to specific areas. The 'Wet Air Out' MUST be ducted outside the room.

in the basement in the gym

POSITIONING EPD50/EPD50 PRO

External Positioning (Models where Outlet Duct Fitted Only):

When positioning the unit outside the room, connect ducting to the outlet to direct the dry air-stream into the room to be dried. Optionally, the inlet may also be ducted to the room to give a re-circulation effect. In this case however, because the unit uses a portion for the inlet air for regeneration. Provision must be made in the inlet duct to draw air also from outside the room.

POSITIONING (3)

NOTE: As the Wet-Air-Out discharge is warm and very humid ensure it is directed where it will have no adverse effect on the immediate environment.
NOTE: Wet-air-out should be declined from the dehumidifier where possible if there is a risk of any condensation build up in the exhaust duct running back into the dehumidifier. This can be avoided either with short wet-air-out duct lengths or adequately insulating the wet-air-duct to prevent condensation. Should water be seen dripping from the dehumidifier switch off the appliance immediately at the wall socket. Allow water in the unit to dry completely. Correct the defect in the wet-air-out ducting and reconnect to the power to start operating again. Do not operate If there is a concern the unit is not thoroughly dry inside.
NOTE: The wet-air-out flange outlet is 1.5 inch. This is the standard size of push fit wasted water pipe connectors and pipes ideal for exhaust ducting. Decreasing the exhaust pipe diameter will decrease performance. Flexible ducting may be used on all inlets and outlets.

All ducting lengths should be kept to a minimum. Longer lengths will reduce performance. For the longest lengths see Fan System Table (page 7). Ducting may be also supplied by your dehumidifier supplier.

OPERATION

US

CONTROLS

The controls are positioned on the front of the unit next to the damp air inlet duct, they are:

1. Humidistat
2. Remote Humidistat Switch
3. Remote Humidistat Jack Plug Socket

Auto reset. If there is a power out, the dehumidifier will automatically restart when the mains power is reconnected.

MOUNTING

The dehumidifier can be mounted in any direction even up-side-down.

Turn the feet out to see the anchoring points. Secure all four feet with suitable fixings (not provided) to floor, wall or ceiling.

Connect the unit to suitable mains supply and connect ducting.

Ensure the 'Remote Humidistat' switch is set to the 'OFF' position (O).

Turn humidistat to lowest humidity level continuation or set the switch to the 'ON' position (I). The fan will start.

Set the humidity level right for the room to be dried.

OPERATION(2)

NOTE: A low setting of say 10% means the room is regulated to a very dry level while a setting of say 90% the room will be maintained at a relatively humid level. The right level for the room may vary with weather, temperature and occupation conditions over time.

- REMOTE OPERATION

For remote operation it is necessary to connect a 24V external humidistat (not provided) via the jack plug connector. The external humidistat may be obtained from your appliance supplier. Ensure the "Remote Humidistat" switch is set to I (ON). The dehumidifier will now be controlled by the remote humidistat that is using low power and only 24V.

CLEANING

Disconnect from the mains before cleaning or servicing the unit or any of its components. Wipe regularly clean with a moist cloth (a soft, damp cloth) and a mild household detergent. Never use chemicals, petrol, aggressive detergents or other cleansing solutions

AIR FILTER

The dehumidifier has an inlet air filter. This should be checked periodically and if necessary cleaned. It can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or hand washed in mild detergent only.

Replacement filters are available from your supplier.

ATTENTION: Do not run the unit without a filter fitted as dust will impair the performance of the Rotor.
