4. Opsætning og installation
4.1 Placering
Position the dehumidifier in a location that allows for adequate airflow around the unit. Ensure there is at least 1 foot (30 cm) of space around the air inlet and outlet. The unit can be placed on the floor or suspended using optional hanging kits (sold separately).
Image 4.1: Compact design allows for flexible installation, including floor and hanging options.
4.2 Dræningsmuligheder
The Sentinel HD55P offers two drainage methods: gravity drain and pump drain.
- Gravity Drain: For gravity drainage, ensure the unit is placed on a raised surface or the drain outlet is positioned lower than the unit's base. Connect a standard garden hose (not included) to the gravity drain port.
- Pump Drain: The built-in pump allows water to be discharged vertically or horizontally up to 19.6 feet (6 meters) away. Connect the provided drain hose to the pump outlet. Ensure the hose is not kinked or blocked.

4.3 Strømtilslutning
Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet. The unit is designed for 115V/60Hz power supply.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Kontrolpanel
The control panel allows you to adjust settings and monitor the unit's operation.
Image 5.1: Control panel and key features.
5.2 Indstilling af ønsket luftfugtighed
Use the control panel to set your desired humidity level between 25% and 80% RH. The unit will automatically turn on or off to maintain the set humidity.

5.3 Automatisk afrimning
The unit features an automatic defrost system. When ambient temperatures are low, the unit will initiate a defrost cycle to prevent ice buildup on the coils. During this cycle, the compressor pauses while the fan continues to run, allowing frost to melt. Normal operation resumes once defrosting is complete.

5.4 Ekstra fjernbetjening
An optional remote control system (sold separately) can be connected via a 25-foot CAT 5 cable, allowing for remote monitoring and control of the dehumidifier without direct access to the unit.

6. Vedligeholdelse
Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer optimal ydeevne og forlænger levetiden på din affugter.
6.1 Rengøring og udskiftning af filter
The MERV-1 filter should be checked and cleaned regularly, typically every 3 months, or more frequently depending on air quality. A clean filter protects internal components from dust and maintains efficiency.
- To access the filter, open the filter cover on the side of the unit.
- Remove the filter and clean it with a vacuum cleaner or rinse it with warm water. Allow it to dry completely before reinserting.
- Replace the filter if it is damaged or cannot be cleaned effectively.

6.2 Rengøring af spole
The dehumidifier's coils are treated with internal corrosion protection. However, periodic inspection and cleaning of the coils may be necessary to ensure efficient heat transfer. Consult a qualified technician for deep coil cleaning if required.
6.3 Drainage System Maintenance
Periodically check the drain hose for kinks, blockages, or debris. Ensure the pump (if used) is functioning correctly and the drain line is clear to prevent water backup.
