THANKYOU! | It is important that you read these instructions carefully before installing and using your new dehumidier. Please keep them in a safe place for future reference. 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 dehumidier 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 dehumidiers rated at double the capacity at normal room conditions. Using DryFan

technology these dehumidiers will out-perform compressor dehumidiers by 3–4 times below 50 ºF. Where compressor dehumidiers stop working at 41 ºF these units using DryFan

technology will continue to dry spaces even continuing to work to -4 ºF making them ideal for unheated rooms and out-buildings. 40% RH - 60% RH We feel comfortable within these settings.5

technology and uses a continuously rotating moisture absorbing patented wheel termed a “Rotor”. A highly ecient 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 t waste water connectors. Water is not drained away as a liquid, it is vented away similar to a tumble dryer.

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 ecient moisture collector.

PATENTED REGEN HEATER

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

FAN SYSTEM All models use specialized fan technology to give quiet performance but type of fan will dier by model capacity. Note: External ductwork will reduce restrict airow and therefore the amount of water the dehumidiers will extract. To maximize airow and water extraction always keep any ducting to minimum. Maximum lengths in feet of any ducts are outlined in the table. Model Maximum damp air in duct length Maximum wet air out duct length Maximum dry filtered air out duct length EPD30 & EPD30 PRO

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 tted) to direct the drying to specic areas. The ‘Wet Air Out’ MUST be ducted outside the room.

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 eect. 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 EPD50/EPD50 PRO |

• for more than one room

NOTE: As the Wet-Air-Out discharge is warm and very humid ensure it is directed where it will have no adverse eect on the immediate environment. NOTE: Wet-air-out should be declined from the dehumidier where possible if there is a risk of any condensation build up in the exhaust duct running back into the dehumidier. 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 dehumidier switch o 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 ange outlet is 1.5 inch. This is the standard size of push t 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 dehumidier supplier. POSITIONING (3) |

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

Auto reset. If there is a power out, the dehumidier will automatically restart when the mains power is reconnected. MOUNTING The dehumidier 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 xings (not provided) to oor, wall or ceiling. STAND-ALONE OPERATION 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 |

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 dehumidier 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 dehumidier has an inlet air lter. 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 lters are available from your supplier. ATTENTION: Do not run the unit without a lter tted as dust will impair the performance of the Rotor.
