Overview

The Dri-Eaz® BD2500 LGR Dehumidifier is designed to reduce humidity in enclosed environments by removing water vapor from the air. It is suitable for various applications including water damage restoration, structural drying, construction, and other scenarios requiring temporary, high-performance dehumidification.

Function Description:

The BD2500 LGR Dehumidifier operates by drawing in humid air, cooling it to condense the water vapor, and then expelling drier air. The collected water is automatically pumped out through a quick-connect drain hose. The unit features a control panel with a display and touchpad for monitoring and adjusting settings. It includes self-diagnosis procedures and error messaging to alert users to potential issues. The dehumidifier is designed for continuous operation and includes features to manage defrost cycles and pump purging automatically.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model: BD2500 LGR Dehumidifier (Model F413-230V EU/UK)
  • Dimensions (W x H x D): 31.8 x 45.7 × 54.6 cm
  • Weight (w/ cord & hose): 28.6 kg
  • Refrigerant: 410A
  • Amps: 3.5 amps at 26.7°C/60% RH
  • Power: .81kW / 230V / 50Hz
  • Compressor Rating: 7050 BTU
  • Air Movement: 285 CMH
  • Water Removal: 38 L/day at 26.7°C/60% RH
  • Operating Temperature Range: 1–38°C
  • Sound Level: Does not exceed 70 dB
  • Safety: CE certified
  • Electrical Requirements: Operates on a 230V/50 Hz circuit protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) device.
  • Included Parts: 12 m drain hose with quick-connect fitting, 7.6 m power cord, 1 air filter.
  • Optional Accessories: Duct Attachment Kit (F530).

Usage Features:

  • Setup: The unit should always be stored, transported, and used in a horizontal position. If placed vertically, it must be returned to horizontal and allowed to stand for at least 30 minutes before operation. For optimal results, it should be operated in an enclosed area with doors and windows closed to maximize water removal. The dehumidifier should be placed away from obstructions that could block airflow.
  • Drainage: Equipped with a 12 m quick-connect drain hose for automatic water removal. The entire hose must be uncoiled and straightened, with the open end placed in a sink, drain, bucket, or outdoors. The end of the hose should not be higher than 6 m above the bottom of the unit to prevent water backup.
  • Control Panel: Features a display and a touchpad with four keys: ON/OFF, DISPLAY MENU, MENU SELECTION/UP KEY, and PURGE PUMP.
    • ON/OFF: Turns the unit on or off. Upon startup, it undergoes a compressor delay countdown (up to 60 seconds) and self-diagnostics.
    • DISPLAY MENU: Cycles through various dehumidifier conditions and user settings.
    • MENU SELECTION/UP KEY: Used to change values for "User Defined" settings and adjust the setpoint for Humidistat mode.
    • PURGE PUMP: Initiates a manual purge of the condensate pump reservoir. The pump purges automatically during normal operation.
  • Display Modes:
    • Normal Display: Shows total operating hours and alternates between inlet temperature and inlet humidity.
    • User Settings Menu: Allows adjustment of parameters such as job hours reset, filter hours reset, coil hours reset, Humidistat mode (ON/OFF), Humidistat setpoint (40%-90% in 5% increments), language (English, Español, Deutsch, Français), and temperature units (°F or °C).
    • System Information: Displays firmware version, model number, compressor current, and life hours.
  • Error Messages: The unit displays "ER" messages for detected problems, such as sensor connection issues, current sensor failure, invalid model settings, stuck buttons, or pump blockages. Initial troubleshooting involves unplugging and re-plugging the unit.
  • End of Job Procedure: To minimize water drips during movement, the unit should complete its defrost and drying cycles. The user should gently rock the machine to ensure water falls into the sump, press the PURGE key, and then turn off the unit before removing and coiling the drain hose.
  • Transportation and Storage: The unit should be purged, and the hose and power cord stowed before moving. It should be handled carefully, stored, and transported securely to prevent damage. It should not be transported or stored on its front, sides, or back to prevent moisture from escaping.

Maintenance Features:

  • Safety Precautions: Always unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing. Be aware of electric shock, rotating fan, and hot surface hazards. Use a respirator mask and gloves if the unit has been exposed to contaminants.
  • Before Each Use:
    • Power Cord Inspection: Check for fraying, cuts, or other damage. Replace if damaged.
    • Filter Inspection: Check for dust and debris accumulation. Replace if visible.
  • Monthly Maintenance:
    • Coil Inspection: Inspect coils for dust accumulation. Clean with a vacuum cleaner (brush tool) and a soft cloth to prevent airflow restriction and overheating.
  • As Needed Maintenance:
    • Pump Check Valve and Basin Cleaning: If the unit displays "ER9 PUMP BLOCKED PUMP & HOSE," the pump check valve and basin need cleaning. This involves removing the grills and cover, unscrewing the pump base, lifting out the pump, wiping the basin with a damp cloth, unthreading the barbed fitting with the check valve, rinsing both with clean water, and then reassembling.
    • Coil Cleaning: With the cover removed, inspect both coils. If excessive dust and debris are present, vacuum thoroughly and/or clean with coil cleaner.
  • Filter Replacement: Replace used filters only with a new Dri-Eaz filter part no. F583 (24-pack). Filters should be replaced whenever dust or debris is visible and after every mold job.
  • Appearance Maintenance: Wipe interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning, an automotive interior cleaner can be used.

The BD2500 LGR Dehumidifier is intended for both household and commercial use. Users are advised to register their product for warranty and safety information. For parts and service, contact the local distributor or Dri-Eaz directly.
