How to use Sentinel HD55S Dehumidifier

If you want to optimize the efficiency of the sentinel HD 55S Dehumidifier, you need to do the following:

· Place the dehumidifier on a dry level surface. Avoid putting it on a vapor barrier such as a damp basement.
· Consult the manual when installing the unit
· When you want to switch the unit on or off, make use of the remote control.
· Avoid using the power switch to switch it off.
· Use the arrow keys to set your desired humidity level. Choose anything between 50- 55%.
· Even after the unit has been switched off via the remote control, ensure that you allow the fan to continue running until it stops. It helps to remove the dissipated heat.
· The unit drains itself automatically as it operates. However, if you are planning to keep it in-store, you must give an allowance of at least 10 minutes so that it can defrost. You should lean the drain a little bit to ensure that the unit drains completely.  

When you want to store the unit, the following must be observed.

· Turn off the dehumidifier and allow it to dry
· The power code should be wrapped and secured
· The filter mesh should be protected by covering it
· Ensure the unit is stored in a clean dry place

 

Where It Can Be Used Application

The unit finds a lot of applications in warehouses, basement, crawl spaces, and even offices. It is also used in shops, storage areas, apartments, and factories. Other places where the unit is likely to be used are in bars and restaurants and museums. It is also widely used in computer rooms to reduce dampness or dust. Sentinel HD 55 is an energy-efficient product that is, CE, ETL.

It is a whole-house dehumidifier that can be relied on to solve damage to any building. If a building suffers from dampness, Sentinel HD55S can be deployed to provide a solution to the humidity problem. The dehumidifier comes with a filter that makes installing it much easier.  The fact that it features optional duct mounting flanges reduces the time it takes to have it installed.

 

How the Unit Operates

You will select the relative humidity you want. It uses the integral humidistat to monitor the space and conditions. When the humidity level rises beyond the set levels, the unit energizes. When this happens, it draws air across the evaporator coils. Typically, the coils will be cooler than the dew point of the air. Moisture will then condense out of the air.  The remaining air will then be reheated and distributed into the condenser coil. It will then be redistributed in the house.

 

Installing The Unit

Ensure that you use vapor barriers to seal off the areas where you want to control their humidity levels. If it is the crawl spaces, check and ensure that all the vents are sealed.

Also, ensure that the environment in which you want to install the dehumidifier is not corrosive. Notice that we have some liquid barriers that dry through solvent evaporation. So it is your mandate to ensure that the barrier is dry and that the area is sealed.

Before using the dehumidifier, check and ensure that it is placed on a level surface.  Avoid placing it in a vapor barrier.

Set the desired humidity level using the up and down button.  Choose the most comfortable level for you. It should range from 36-90%. Once you set your point, the machine will stop dehumidifying as long as the set point has been reached. When indoor humidity rises above the set level, the machine automatically starts operating.

You can choose to set the machine into continuous mode. This can be done by using the up and down arrow. Check and ensure you see the continuous button illuminate green. It indicates that the unit has been switched to a continuous mode. You will see CO on the display screen.

 

Cleaning the unit

To optimize the use of the dehumidifier, it is necessary that you clean its body.  You need is a soft piece of cloth to do this. Soak it in water without soap or solvent and use it to wipe the dehumidifier. Also, you may unplug and clean the filter by washing it with soap-less water. Alternatively, you may choose to vacuum the unit.  Just try to ensure that it dries before reinstalling it.  Notice that the coil must also be cleaned once a year. You may use an approved coil cleaner to do this job.

 

Precautions

· Before powering the sentinel dehumidifier, ensure that it is connected using a grounded electrical connection.
· When you choose to have the unit repaired or maintained, ensure that you get a competent technician.
· If you choose to move the dehumidifier to another place, unplug it from the power supply.
· If the unit gets flooded with water, it is recommended that you open it so that it can dry before attempting to reconnect it.
· Don't position the discharge and the inlet onto the wall. Ensure that the inlet has a 12" space clearance while the discharge should have a 36" clearance.
· If the unit is close to a wall, ensure that the inlet is parallel to the wall while the discharge should face away from the wall.
· If you choose to clean the unit, ensure that it is unplugged from the power source.
· Don't use the machine as a support when you want to reach items that are high.

 

Why the need for a dehumidifier?
Huge costs are incurred every year through inflated building maintenance costs and damaged inventory as a result of dampness. ALORAIR dehumidifiers are effective solutions to environmental control problems. Excess humidity in your premises results in corrosion, mold growth, and condensation. By installing an ALORAIR dehumidifier controlled humidity conditions can be maintained to provide protection in larger commercial areas and buildings.

Happy with this purchase!
By 'Virginia', Reviewed on December 09, 2021
I set it up, turned it on, and it worked. The crawlspace humidity is down in the 40s today. When I installed it, we had droplets of water collecting on the duct work, and the insulation on the branch ductwork was soaked in some areas. There were puddles on the plastic covering the floor of the crawl space. Humidity was in the 80 percent relative humidity range at the start. I am happy.
Satisfied with it!
By 'Ava Thomas', Reviewed on September 16, 2021
I bought this dehumidifier one month ago, and I am satisfied with it! 1. Fan switches off when desired humidity 2. It Looks and feels very solid 3. Compact - helps when you are putting it in crawl space 4. I have used several Brands of dehumidifiers, and they have lasted 2-3 years. I have been using it in my basement and crawl space. For some reason, when I have put this dehumidifier, the smell is much less than what I had previously, even though I set it at the same humidity level. There is a noticeable difference.
Works well!
By 'Alice Wilson', Reviewed on September 16, 2021
It was installed in a crawl space 30 ft by 30 ft by 4 ft tall. Humidity was at 95% and causing lots of sweating on pipes and started growing mold. It encapsulated crawl space by sealing off vents and laying nine mil plastic across the floor and walls. It has installed a dehumidifier with condensate line draining into septic line with a P trap. Within moments, it started draining considerable amounts of water into a drain line. Humidity levels dropped consistently over the next three days, stabilizing at the 50% set point. It’s only been running a week, and it is relatively quiet. I can’t hear it upstairs, and the remote unit makes it handy to monitor without crawling into crawl space. It did what it was supposed to do, humidity problem solved.
Efficient and quiet
By 'Dark', Reviewed on September 13, 2021
I ran an Alorair Sentinel HD55 dehumidifier without pipes in my finished basement. The device is robust, efficient, effective and quiet. With a relative humidity of 48%, it runs reliably with a six-point hysteresis, turning on at 51% and turning off at 45%. The separately purchased remote control is located in still air about four feet away from the HD55, and it has a longer and more efficient duty cycle than the onboard hygrostat.
SAVING

This very good machine runs in my basement. It has a small sound and is very quiet. At the same time, it has a high dehumidification efficiency and does not consume too much electricity. It is a very power-saving equipment.
Good job!
By 'Ezra Davies', Reviewed on August 28, 2021
The AlorAir Sentinel HD55 is much more powerful than the dehumidifiers I buy in the local hardware store before, but it's not designed for huge areas either. That makes it perfect for my damp basement (up to 1,300 sq. ft.). It removes nearly seven gallons (55 pints) every day and can be hooked up to a drainage hose for continuous 24-hour operation. It comes with a two-meter drainage hose, but you can buy a longer one if necessary. All Alorair Professional Dehumidifiers come with a remote control system. It lets you set the desired humidity, so the machine turns itself on and off only when it needs.
Love it!
By 'Ivy Lopez', Reviewed on August 27, 2021
I installed it on Sunday evening in a crawl space (about 1400 sq ft) at 99% humidity at 76 degrees. By Monday morning, the humidity sensor I put in said 55% at 77 degrees. The unit itself told 60%. This thing has been trucking along, and the drain is constantly running, so I'm happy for now. We will see how it is over the long term. Smell and miserable humidity is basically gone on crawl space over a single weekend. By the way, If you don't get the remote, I would recommend a remote humidity sensor just to keep an eye on humidity percent. Otherwise, I'm really happy with this dehumidifier, and it was a good investment.
Good job!

Easy to operate and effective! We use this dehumidifier (in our restoration business) along with many others from Alorair and love them. They work well, the quality is good, and they are surprisingly quiet. Great for hard to get to places due to compact size and lightweight, but powerful like a bigger unit.Good job!
Happy with that!

I've got a sealed crawlspace that needs dehumidification. The unit was double boxed (dehumidifier w/ 4 foam corner brackets in a box, then that box was padded and inside another box). The unit itself was in perfect condition and started right up. The unit felt very industrial and was well made. I opened it up and took a quick look around. The components were well made, and electrical connections were solid. The filter is easy to remove and reinstall after cleaning. The controls were intuitive. I also bought the additional remote control and was happy with that.
I highly recommended it!
By 'Maya Burton', Reviewed on August 23, 2021
The Alorair HD55 is one of the smallest crawl space dehumidifiers on the market. And it is a quality design. This unit has a coated coil (in which the aluminum fins and copper tubing are coated). It is held together with stainless steel plates. Secondly, the humidifier sensor is separated from the evaporator coil and is located on the lower end of the unit to minimize triggering by evaporating moisture from the evaporator coil. Additionally, a remote controlling sensor is available with a 25-foot cable to enable complete separation from the sensor from the evaporator coil. The unit has a MERV 8 removable filter to keep the coils clean. It is very quiet when operating. The only way for me to tell if the unit in the crawl space is running is to put my ear against the floor to hear it as the sound is too faint. I highly recommend the hanging unit.
