User instructions ES product family 

Intended use 

The adsorption dehumidifiers in the ES range have been developed and designed for drying water 
damage and building moisture. The dehumidifiers can be used freestanding or in combination with 
turbines, for pressure and suction drying of a layered construction for example. 
Via the control panel, the user of K3 ES HP can optimise the operation for the intended job, set the 
capacity and volume, control the fan as well as use integrated or external sensors for temperature 
and relative humidity to achieve the desired effect in combination with the lowest possible energy 
consumption. K3 ES HP can also be used in networks and is prepared for remote monitoring and 
remote control. The unit also has folding handles with holders for the electrical cable and the hose, 
while its light weight means it is easy to carry and install. The durable but flexible feet protect the 
floor surfaces and also make it possible to stack the machines. The dehumidifiers have a naturally 
robust construction that gives a long service life.  

 

 

ES product family, menus and operation 

 

K3 ES HP has an easy-to-use user interface with a display and five buttons. The two larger buttons on 
each side of the display are used to select between different menus. These buttons are only intended 
for navigation and cannot be used to change the settings. 

The three smaller buttons are used for selection and editing and their functions are always presented 
as text at the bottom of the screen. On the upper menus, the left-hand button is called the HOME 
button. One push of this button takes you straight back to the standard view. In many of the views 
there is an Info button that presents information that can be useful for inexperienced users. 

If the display's background lighting goes out after the preset time, the first button push only 
illuminates the display.  

If no button is pushed for ten minutes, a keylock is activated. The machine then must be unlocked by 
pushing the two-upper button simultaneously. This procedure is presented as text and as an image 
on the display.
