05. Operation

The central control element for operation is the mains switch at the rear
of the appliance.

06. Putting into operation

The intake and exhaust openings must be checked for foreign bodies and the air filter
for contamination each time before putting into operation or as required by local condi-
tions. Blocked or contaminated grilles and filters must be cleaned immediately; see "Care
and maintenance".

Important information before putting into operation

• The cores of extension cables must have an adequate cross-sectional area.
• Extension cables may only be used if they are completely unreeled!

Putting the appliance into operation

1. Observe the safety instructions.
2. Plug the appliance plug into a properly fused mains socket (230 V / 50 Hz / 16 A).
3. Install a condensate drain pipe.
The TTK 400 is not equipped with an internal condensate tank on account
of its high dehumidifying capacity. You should therefore ensure that one
of the following four condensate drain options is installed on site.
3.1. Condensate drainage into an external collecting vessel

emptied regularly in order to avoid overflowing. To this end, the emptying in-
tervals must be adapted to the expected dehumidifying capacity.
B - 3
Place a sufficiently large water collecting
vessel (90 litres) underneath the appli-
ance's water outlet (D.1). Fix one end of the
water drain hose (D.2) supplied with the ap-
pliance to the appliance's water outlet and
hang the free end of the hose into the water
collecting vessel so that the condensate
can collect in it.
Remember that in the case of this conden-
sate drainage option the water level must
be checked and the water collecting vessel

3.2. Condensate drainage into an on-site drain
Fix one end of the water drain hose supplied with the appliance to the
appliance's water outlet and fix the free end of the hose to an on-site drain
so that the condensate can drain off into it. Ensure thereby that the drain
hose has a constant fall. For greater distances a longer hose of the same
type can be used.
3.3. Condensate drainage using an automatic condensate pump
For all applications that usually require continuous operation,
an optional automatic condensate pump is available as an accessory.
If such a condensate pump is used, please observe the instructions
in the separate operating manual for the condensate pump.
4. Turn the mains switch so that it is in the operating mode "I" (ON).
The device is now operating. To switch the appliance off again, turn the mains switch
so that it is in operating mode "0" (OFF).
Information about operating the appliance
with a hygrostat
Besides standard operation, the TTK 400 can also be used in hygrostat-controlled
mode.
The use of a hygrostat enables the individual setting of a target humidity value.
The drying appliance then dehumidifies the room air automatically as long as the
actual humidity lies above the preset value on the hygrostat.
The hygrostat switches off the drying appliance automatically when the preset humidi-
ty value is reached, and switches it on again automatically if the preset humidity value
is exceeded.
Two types of hygrostat can be used with the TTK 400. Firstly, a built-in hygrostat which
is optionally available as an accessory. This hygrostat is installed at the rear of the
appliance below the mains switch.
Secondly, external hygrostats available from Trotec or specialist dealers which can be
installed between the power supply of the drying appliance and the mains socket.
Further information on installation and operation can be found in the separate operat-
ing manuals for the hygrostats.

Information about power consumption

In order to determine the elapsed operating hours the TTK 400 has an operating hour
meter, which is mounted to the right of the mains switch.
As a rule of thumb, the number of operating hours can be multiplied by a consumption
value of one kilowatt per hour, i.e. operating hours = kilowatt hours.
However, since the actual power consumption of the appliance is always dependent
on the room temperature and relative humidity, the aforementioned rule of thumb can
only supply an approximate value. In order to determine the exact power consumption,
an optionally available energy cost meter must be installed between the dehumidifier
and the mains socket.
