Operating Guide
Ventilation Mode
- When selecting ventilation mode, only the fan will operate, and the compressor will not run. In this mode, the dehumidification function is disabled.
- This mode helps circulate air in the room without changing the humidity level.
Dehumidification Mode
- When selecting dehumidification mode, the display will indicate that this mode is active.
- If the room humidity is greater than or equal to the set humidity + 5%, the compressor will start operating to remove moisture.
- When the set humidity is 5% higher than the actual room humidity, the compressor will automatically stop, but the fan will continue to run to keep the air circulating.
- The fan always operates continuously to ensure even air circulation in the room whenever the device is turned on.
Automatic Defrost
- When the compressor operates continuously for 25 minutes and the evaporator coil temperature falls to –1°C or below for 30 seconds, the unit will automatically activate defrost mode.
- During defrosting, the compressor will pause while the fan continues to run, helping to melt any frost or ice.
Defrost mode will end when either: - The defrosting period reaches 8 minutes, or The evaporator coil temperature rises to 7°C or higher for 30 seconds. After that, the unit will return to normal dehumidification mode.
- If the evaporator coil encounters an error or damage, the unit will automatically repeat the cycle:
25 minutes of dehumidification → 8 minutes of defrosting → continue operation.
Memory Function
- In the event of a sudden power outage, the device will automatically remember the last selected settings and modes.
- When power is restored, the unit will resume operation with the previous settings without requiring manual reconfiguration.
Maintenance and Repair Instructions
Air Filter Maintenance
The unit is equipped with an independent air filtration system, with the filter installed at the air intake to clean the return airflow before it enters the machine.
Important Notes:
- Never operate the unit without the air filter. Doing so may allow dust and debris to enter the equipment, reducing dehumidification efficiency and causing frequent compressor defrost cycles.
- Inspect the air filter at least once a month. Depending on the air quality in the installation area, adjust the cleaning or replacement schedule accordingly.
Motor Maintenance
The machine's motor uses pre-lubricated bearings and is designed for low-maintenance operation. However, to ensure stable performance, it is recommended to perform a periodic inspection once a year to detect any early signs of abnormal operation.
Safety Precautions Before Inspection and Troubleshooting
- High voltage is present inside the unit. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any inspection or repair.
- The unit contains heat-generating components (compressor) that must be allowed to cool completely before performing maintenance.
- All inspections, adjustments, or repairs should be carried out by qualified technicians to ensure safety and prevent accidental contact with live components or hot parts.
Periodic Inspection and Maintenance
Component | Inspection & Maintenance Tasks | Every 3–6 Months | Every 12 Months |
Air Filter | Clean and replace when necessary | Clean the filter and replace if necessary | Clean the filter and replace if it is dirty or clogged |
Compressor | Check operation and electrical wiring | Check that the compressor operates normally and runs smoothly without abnormal vibration | Inspect the compressor wiring to ensure connections are secure; check for damage or overheating |
Condenser | Clean | Remove surface dust and debris | Clean debris and dirt from the surface and base of the heat exchanger |
Defrost Valve | Inspect | — | Check for signs of overheating or blockage. Replace if defective |
Seals | Inspect for damage or displacement | Check for damage or displacement; replace if necessary | Inspect for damage or wear; replace if worn or defective |
Important Notes – Read Carefully Before Use
Electrical Installation
Note: Electrical connections must be performed by a qualified technician in compliance with local electrical standards.
- The unit operates on a single-phase AC power supply. Verify that the voltage and frequency match the specifications listed on the machine.
- The power supply must be equipped with a leakage protection device, properly grounded, and connected through an isolation switch for maintenance purposes.
- Fuses and power cables must be rated to match the unit’s power requirements.
- Ensure that the input voltage does not exceed ±10% of the rated value indicated on the unit, especially when the electrical system is heavily loaded.
Choosing an Installation Location
To ensure optimal performance and ease of maintenance:
- The unit should be installed indoors, away from areas with excessive humidity or temperatures below the dew point.
- Leave sufficient clearance behind the unit to facilitate routine inspection and maintenance.
- Install the unit close to a power outlet for easy connection.
- Avoid installing the unit in locations where airflow may be obstructed or where cleaning is difficult.
- The dehumidifier must be installed perfectly level. Use a spirit level to check for balance. This prevents condensate from overflowing, which can affect performance and the surrounding environment.
Installation Clearance
When installing and operating the machine, make sure there is enough clearance around the unit to avoid affecting its performance and to make maintenance easier.
To ensure efficient operation, proper airflow circulation, and convenient maintenance, observe the following clearances during installation:
- Machine body width: 85 cm
- Minimum distance from walls or other equipment on both sides: 50 cm
Notes for Using the Kosmen KM-66E Ceiling-Mounted Dehumidifier
Air Duct Connection
When connecting to air ducts:
- Follow ISO 7807 standards regarding duct dimensions and design.
- Ensure all duct connections are airtight, especially at rigid (galvanized) duct joints.
- Insulate the ductwork to prevent condensation and energy loss.
- Minimize duct length to reduce pressure loss.
- The air intake must be placed high and away from sources of pollution such as dust, steam, or toxic gases.
- The outlet duct should be supported independently to avoid putting pressure on the unit.
- The unit can be installed directly in the room requiring dehumidification or in a separate technical room.
- The fan outlet should be equipped with a diffuser to ensure efficient air distribution.
External Sensor Connection
The unit can be connected to an external control system through the pre-installed wiring.
Important notes when installing a humidity detector:
- Position it away from abnormal airflows (not near windows, water sources, heaters, or direct sunlight).
- Install at a height of 1–1.5 m for accurate humidity measurement.
- Avoid locations that are excessively dry or humid, as this can cause inaccurate readings.
- The external control system must be compatible with the low-voltage circuit of the unit.
Compliance and Safety Guidelines
- Do not use flammable chemicals or spray water on the unit.
- Do not place the unit in areas prone to excessive moisture or flooding.
- Never operate the unit without the air filter installed. Missing filters may cause dirt or corrosion on the heat exchanger, reduce dehumidification efficiency, or severely damage the unit.
- Do not remove or alter labels and technical information on the unit.
- Use only genuine replacement parts designed and manufactured by Kosmen.
- Only qualified personnel are allowed to operate or maintain the unit.
- Electrical components must only be serviced by certified electrical technicians.
- Do not install the unit in areas that require explosion-proof equipment.
- Always disconnect power before opening any maintenance panels.
- After stopping the unit, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before performing maintenance.
- If no maintenance is being carried out, the maintenance panel must remain securely closed.
Humidity Control Range
The unit operates effectively in environments with humidity levels up to 100% RH and ambient temperatures from 5°C to 38°C.
