Condensate
Depending on the air temperature and the relative air
humidity the condensed water drips either continuously
or only during the defrosting phases into the condensate
trap.
The condensate is drained via a connecting branch into
the water container (only in model AMT 60-E) or via a
hose into the discharge pipe installed at a lower level.
Installation
◊
Install the unit in a horizontal position to ensure the
trouble-free drainage of condensate.
◊
Install the unit in the middle of the room, if possible,
to ensure optimal air circulation.
◊
If this is not possible due to the conditions in the
building make sure that the air can be easily sucked
in at the front of the unit and blown off from its rear
part.
◊
Make sure to observe a minimum distance of 50 cm
◊
You can obtain better air circulation if you place the
unit at a height of approx. 1 m.
◊
Make sure that appropriate measures for mainte-
nance and care are taken when the unit is installed
in dusty surroundings as well as in stables with am-
moniacal atmosphere.
See chapter “Maintenance and Care”.
◊
The electrical connection of the unit is to be carried
out according to DIN VDE 0100, part 704. It is to be
connected to service entrances with residual current
operated device.
◊
If the unit is installed in washhouses, showers or
similar wet areas the user has to protect it by an ade-
quate residual current operated device according to
the relevant regulations.
◊
Connection cable extensions may only be used
when they have been completely unrolled.

Working Range
Dehumidification performance depends exclusively
upon the design of the room, the room temperature, the
relative humidity and the correct observance of the
setup instructions.
The dehumidification performance increases with the
room temperature and relative humidity.
For a reliable operation the following working-range is
valid:
◊
Room temperature between 6 °C and 32 °C
◊
Relative humidity between 40% and 100% r. h.
Unit Operation
The unit are equipped with a temperature-controlled hot
gas defrosting system. This system is equipped with a
feeler which has been mounted between the evaporator
lamellas.
When the formation of hair-frost on the evaporator in-
creases, its heat absorption capacity is reduced due to
the insulating characteristics of the hair-frost. Conse-
quently the temperature on the evaporator's surface
falls.
As soon as the temperature has fallen below a defined
minimum value, the refrigeration circulation is reset to
the defrosting position and dehumidification is inter-
rupted for a short time.
As soon as the hair-frost (ice) has been defrosted and
temperature raises again at the sensor, the unit is reset
to the normal dehumidification operation.
When room temperature is high enough, lamella sur-
face never becomes so cold as to allow the formation of
hair-frost; consequently defrosting is not necessary.
REMKO air dehumidifiers operate very economically.
Depending on the room temperature and the air humid-
ity only approx. 30 or 40 % of electric energy are con-
sumed for the cooling capacity of the unit.
The proper functioning of the unit cannot be guar-
anteed at temperatures below 10 °C or a relative
humidity of less than 40% r. h.
◊
Do not install the unit directly near radiators or other
heat sources.
◊
Entering into and going out of the room should be
avoided if possible.
◊
Make sure to keep the room to be dried and
dehumidified closed, so that air from outside cannot
penetrate into it.
