ƒ

Children and physically or mentally impaired persons:

These dehumidifiers may be operated by children at least 8 years old and physically or mentally impaired 

persons if:

• 

they are adequately supervised.

• 

they have been provided with instructions concerning safe operation of the device.

• 

they understand the associated risks.

Neither cleaning nor maintenance may be entrusted to children or physically or mentally impaired persons.
Place the control panel out of the reach of children to prevent them from operating the device.

 

ƒ

Electrical safety:

• 

Install the machine in compliance with the regulations in effect in the country of installation (notably 

electrical regulations), notably, respect safety distances from water.

• 

DH dehumidifiers are not electrically protected against the intrusion of water (rain, splashing).

In France, regulations (standard C 15-100) stipulate the following:

• 

The dehumidifier should be installed at a distance of more than 3 m from a bath, private above-

ground spa or shower stall. 

• 

The dehumidifier should be installed at a distance of more than 3.5 m from an in-ground spa or 

pool.

• 

A means to instantly cut power to the device must be installed at the head of the line (circuit 

breaker or switch).

• 

A thermal magnetic circuit breaker or fuse holder+fuse with a breaking current rated for the 

amperage of the device must be installed at the head of the line. 

• 

We strongly recommend installation of a 30mA (trip current) residual current device upstream from 

their power supply.

• 

Have the device wired in by a qualified professional.

• 

At least once a year, check that electrical wire contacts are correctly tightened. 

• 

Check regularly that the power cable is in good condition, in the event of damage to the cable (cut, 

crushed ,wear, etc.), have it replaced immediately by a qualified professional. 

• 

Always cut the power to the device upstream prior to any technical intervention on the device 

(repair, maintenance).

• 

The heating element (optional) must be installed by a qualified professional. 

 

ƒ

Fire prevention:

• 

Do not use the dehumidifier to extract solvent vapours from the air, more generally, never use the 

device in a inflammable or explosive atmosphere.   

• 

Do not  store inflammable liquids or materials close to the device. 

• 

Do not splash liquids onto the device.

• 

Do not insert objects through the slots in the grate, teach children not to do this either.

• 

Do not obstruct air flow at the intake or exhaust grates by covering the machine with material, or 

a box or by positioning the machine with the front face too close to a partition. 

• 

In the event of abnormal noise, odour or smoke, shut the dehumidifier down immediately and cut 

the power supply. Never attempt to the repair the device yourself, contact your sales agent. 

• 

Leave a gap of at least 80 cm in front of the machine and 30 cm on either side of the machine in 

order to facilitate technical interventions.

Operating principle

FAIRLAND console dehumidifiers are used to limit the relative humidity in an enclosed space containing a 

pool or spa to a value selected by the user (between 30% and 99%). They should be installed inside the 

room to be dehumidified. 

This dehumidifier is designed to operate with an ambient temperature between 10°C and 38°C. Performance 

data is not guaranteed outside this range. 

If the dehumidifier is fitted with the heating option, it may be used to increase the room temperature to a 

value selected by the user (between 18°C and 32°C). As soon as the room temperature drops below this 

value, the heating system will be activated to raise the temperature to the set point. Should the temperature 

spontaneously rise above the set point, heating will remain stopped. 

This paragraph will help explain how a FAIRLAND dehumidifier works and provide a better understanding 

of the importance of the provisions concerning installation, use and maintenance set out in this document. 

• 

A heat transfer fluid travels in a loop in a copper circuit, as it travels it experiences  the following 

cycle:

• 

Step 1: warm, humid ambient air from the room to be dehumidified is drawn at a high flow rate over 

a fin-type radiator in which cold fluid is circulating, this is the evaporator. Upon contact with the 

evaporator, the air temperature falls until it reaches the condensation point of water vapour, which 

causes the water to condense in fine droplets. At the same time, the heat transfer fluid recovers 

the calories given up by the ambient air. 

• 

Step 2: the fluid enters the compressor where it experiences a high increase in pressure and an 

increase in temperature.  

• 

Step  3:  the  cold,  dehumidified  air  then  passes  over  a  second  fin-type  radiator  located  behind 

the evaporator, the condenser, through which the hot heat transfer fluid from the compressor is 

circulating, this heats the cold, dehumidified air before it is returned to the pool room. 

• 

Step 4: the heat transfer fluid passes into the expansion chamber where it is returned to its initial 

temperature and pressure, before returning to step 1 to restart the cycle.

Thus, the compressor and the expansion chamber is composed of two half-loops:

• 

the half-loop on the condenser side is called the HP (High Pressure) loop.

• 

the half-loop on the evaporator side is called the LP (Low Pressure) loop.

Start up of the compressor is slaved to the dehumidification demand. 

The  user  may  choose  to  allow  the  fan  to  run  continuously  or  for  the  fan  to  stop  when  there  is  no 

dehumidification or heating demand (refer to setting of parameter C8 in paragraph VI.11). Running the fan 

at low speed in the absence of a dehumidification or heating demand creates continuous movement that 

homogenises the air in the room and allows more precise control of these two parameters.

The machine is fitted with HP and LP safety mechanisms controlled by a pressure switch. 

The LP pressure switch stops the compressor if the pressure drops below 0.05 MPa and automatically 

resets when the pressure rises above 0.15 MPa.
OFF : 0.05 MPa
ON : 0.15 MPa

The HP pressure switch stops the compressor when the pressure rises above 4.2 MPa, and automatically 

resets when the pressure drops below 3.6 MPa.
OFF : 4.2 MPa
ON : 3.6 MPa

The machine is fitted with a n air circulation defrosting function.

 

„

Installation 

Take into account the minimum distance limitations between the dehumidifier and the water body, 

specified in the regulations in effect, when selecting the installation site.

If the machine is free-standing, it must be set on solid, stable and horizontal surface. 

The dehumidifier is delivered with 4 height adjustable, vibration damping pads to be 

screwed into place beneath the machine. 

A  flexible,  translucent  condensate  drainage  tube  (length  2  m)  is 

also supplied. This should be connected to the machine under the 

power cable connection.

The dehumidifier may also be mounted on 

a wall using the two slots located on the 

rear panel. Before mounting the device on 

a wall, verify that the wall, and the means 

of anchoring it to the wall, will support the 

weight of the machine.

The remote installed control pad is fitted with a 10 m cable attached by a 

quick disconnect fitting. The control pad is not watertight so it should be 

protected from the elements

The control panel is delivered with a wall mounting bracket.

1. 

Remove the 2 screws from the mounting bracket.

2. 

Mount the bracket on the wall in the desired position (out of the reach of children) using the 2 central 

slots or the 4 peripheral slots (screws and bushings are not supplied).

3. 

The cut out for the cable should face down

 (to avoid streaming of condensates inside the control 

panel).

4. 

Unclip the rear casing of the control panel.

5. 

Fix the rear casing of the control panel to the bracket using the 2 screws previously removed from 

the mounting bracket.  

6. 

Clip the control panel onto its rear face.

 

„

Electrical wiring

The power cable is comprised of three strands (live =  brown ; neutral = 

blue ; earth = green and yellow), it is 1.5 m long. 
To extend the power cable, use a cable with strands of the same cross section 

if the total length of the cable will not exceed 10 m. If the cable in longer than 

10 m, use an extension cable with strands that have a wider cross section.
Solder the wires together, use heat shrink tubing to insulate the soldered 

connections. 

The power cable must be connected to a thermal 

magnetic protection device or a fuse holder + fuse, 

rated fro the machine’s power consumption. 

We strongly recommend that the machine’s power 

line be protected by a 30 mA RCD. 

Even with an extension, the control cable may not be longer than 50 meters. To extend the cable, use 

cable with the same cross sections and connect the wires as described previously.

ƒ

Automatic defrosting:

When the ambient temperature is low (around 10°C), the surface temperature of the fins and 

evaporator tubes could be below 0°C while the machine is running in dehumidification mode. 

This can lead to freezing of the condensates on the evaporator.  
Accumulated frost will obstruct the air flow and hinder the refrigeration cycle. Before this phenomenon 

becomes too pronounced, the machine is programmed to automatically trigger a defrosting cycle by 

stopping the compressor and the circulation of air.

The symbol 

 will appear on the control panel screen. 

The air will gradually melt the frost, the compressor will restart automatically once the frost is completely 

melted.
