DESCRIPTION

The EVAP dehumidier utilizes its integral humidistat to monitor the conditioned space. Once conditions

are outside the desired setpoint, the compressor energizes and air is drawn across the evaporator

coil. The evaporator coil is cooler than the dew point of the air so the water vapor will turn into liquid

condensation. The air is then reheated through the condenser coil and distributed back into the room.

AFX Power LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) Commercial Dehumidiers are designed to maximize water

extraction while combining the highest eciency in performance and portability. Latest technology and a

high eciency extraction process ensures peak performance in even the most challenging environments,

such as extreme temperature and low environmental humidity. With high ecient water removal

capacity, the LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) Dehumidier allows an extreme dry zone in the working

area and water migration to the air from all the surfaces. It is ideal for water damage restoration and

industrial applications where maximum air drying performance is needed.

OPERATION

SETUP

! IMPORTANT

Before using the dehumidier, place the unit UPRIGHT for at least 30 minutes before use to allow the

refrigerant to stabilize. If the unit was tilted on its side or upside-down during transportation, set the

unit UPRIGHT for at least 4 hours before use. The dehumidier must be positioned UPRIGHT on a level

surface during use.

Place the dehumidier in the center of the room away from walls and furnishings. DO NOT allow the

airow to be obstructed.

• Enclosed Area: For optimal eciency, the dehumidier must be operated in an enclosed area. Keep

all doors, windows and other outside entrances to the room closed. Turn off the air conditioning.

You may also nd that installing multiple dehumidiers may be required for larger enclosed areas.

For extremely high humidity, use a plastic pipe with diameter larger than 6. in, and tie the pipe to the

Exhaust for faster drying.

• Air Circulation: It’s suggested to have a constant ecient air circulation inside the area that you are

going to work in, for example, setting up a circulation with AFX Power Air Mover combinations.

• Environment Temperature/Humidity: The dehumidier is designed to work in an environment with

a temperature of 33°F to 100°F (1°C to 37°C) and relative humidity level of 20% and higher. The

dehumidier may not function normally or eciently if the room temperature and humidity level

exceed this temperature and humidity level range.

DRAIN HOSE

The dehumidier pump connects to a plastic drainage hose. The hose is stored on the side of the

appliance.

Uncoil the entire hose, ensuring there are no kinks or blockages prior to use.

Attach the drain hose inlet to the drain outlet of the machine.

Place the other end of the hose outside or into any sink, drain, or separate container to collect the

outgoing water. Water vessels must be checked regularly. The position of the drainage hose should not

be placed over 15 feet high to prevent water backup.

POWER

If the unit is plugged in but not in operation, the LED Display will display nothing. Press the POWER key

to turn the unit on. It will begin working automatically. The display will show the desired humidity on the

left and relative humidity on the right.

To turn the unit off, press POWER. The water pump will turn on automatically for 40 seconds to drain in

the remaining water and turn off automatically. Do not switch the power off by disconnecting the Power

Cord from the outlet. To avoid water spillage, do not move the dehumidier for at least three minutes

after turning the power off.

TIME

Press TIME to display current working time in hours and minutes. For example, if it displays “0000:50”,

it means that it has been in operation for 50 minutes. To view the total working time, press “T” once

more within 10s. If “T” is not touched for 10s, the display returns automatically returns to displaying

the humidity. The current working time can be reset by pressing “T” for 5s continuously. Resetting the

current working time will not affect the total working time.

Note: The total working time can not be deleted. If the time is beyond the range of LED showing time, it

will be deleted and recount from the start.

CONTROL PANEL + MAINTENANCE

HUMIDITY CONTROL

The desired humidity could be changed by pressing UP or DOWN keys to set or adjust humidity by 1%

increments in the range between 26% and 90%. When the environmental humidity is below 26% “CO” will

be displayed. Press and hold the UP or DOWN key to increase/decrease the desired humidity level by 5%

per second.

KEY LOCK

If “T” and “P” are pressed simultaneously for 2s, the defrost light will blink and all the keys on the control

panel will lock. Unlock the Control Panel by repeating the same action a second time.

MANUAL DRAINAGE

Press “P” to manually empty water from the pump reservoir before moving the machine to avoid water

spillage. During normal operation the pump purges automatically when the reservoir is full. Manual drain

will last for 3 minutes (180 seconds).

DEFROST INDICATOR

The unit begins to defrost automatically as needed when the defrost indicator lights up; the unit stops

defrosting when the defrost indicator is off. When defrosting nishes, the unit continues to dehumidify

automatically.

MAINTENANCE

Frequent maintenance is recommended on this appliance. Failure to follow the maintenance instructions

may cause failure of the appliance and void the warranty.

Before maintenance or storage, you should always:

10. Process a drainage manually.

11. Disconnect the machine from the power source.

12. Remove the drain hose.

BEFORE USE

1. Check the power cord for signs of damage such as fraying. Repair the cord before use if there is any

damage.
