The humidity value (14) in the display (2) changes automatically after setting
and shows the currently measured relative humidity again. The device regulates
the humidity of the room to be dehumidified and switches off on reaching the
set humidity. The device switches back on when the room humidity increases.
For continuous operation, set the humidity to < 30 % with the buttons (15) until
"CO" is shown in the humidity display (14). The humidity is not regulated during
continuous operation; the device dehumidifies permanently. When the conden-
sation tank (9) (accessory, Art. No. 132100) is used, the device switches off
when the condensation tank is full. Then the "condensation tank" symbol (6)
and "E4" are shown in the display (2) and an acoustic signal sounds intermit-
tently. Empty the condensation tank and put it back in (Fig. 5). Dehumidification
is continued. There is no need to switch off the device to empty the condensa-
tion tank. When using the condensation tank with pump Secco 80 (accessory
Art. No. 132121), the condensation tank is emptied by the pump.
The memory function of the REMS Secco 80 ensures that the set humidity
value is retained in the event of a power failure. The device then automatically
continues dehumidification/drying with the previously set value. The compressor
switches on with a delay of approx. 3 minutes for protection. The compressor
symbol (16) flashes in the display (2), but the fan starts immediately.
NOTICE
NOTICE
When draining the condensation into an external tank, it must be ensured that
this is emptied regularly and that the hose to the condensation drain (4) is laid
into the tank with a downward gradient. If the condensation is drained directly
into a drain pipe with a hose, this must also be laid with a downward gradient.
Also check whether the hose to the condensation drain (4) is inserted into the
opening of the condensation tank (9). Do not bend the hoses to the conden-
sation drain. If you do, the condensation will overflow over the edge of the
collection tray in the device and spill onto the floor.
The amount of condensation that forms is influenced by the temperature and
humidity of the room air. Recommended values in continuous operation:
30 °C (86 °F): 80 % r. h. = approx. 80 litres/day, 60 % r. h. = approx. 40 litres/day
20 °C (68 °F): 80 % r. h. = approx. 40 litres/day, 60 % r. h. = approx. 22 litres/day
15 °C (59 °F): 80 % r. h. = approx. 28 litres/day, 60 % r. h. = approx. 16 litres/day
10 °C (50 °F): 80 % r. h. = approx. 16 litres/day, 60 % r. h. = approx. 11 litres/day
(r. h. = relative humidity)
Water residue can drip from the condensation drain hose (4) after dehumidifi-
cation.
5. Faults
5.1. Fault: Device does not start.
Cause:
● Power cable defective.
● Device defective.
● The humidity set on the device is higher than the humidity in the room.
● REMS Secco 50: The condensation tank (9) is not pushed in completely.
● REMS Secco 80: 11.5 l condensation tank (9) (accessory, Art. No. 132100)
was inserted incorrectly in the REMS Secco 80.
● REMS Secco 80: Condensation tank switch set incorrectly (5).
5.2. Fault: On reaching the humidity set on the device, the device does not switch on or off.
Cause:
● The controller only switches the device on/off when the humidity exceeds/
drops below the set humidity by 3 % (REMS Secco 80) .
● Continuous operation is set.
5.3. Fault: The device switches off although the humidity set on the device has not yet been reached.
Cause:
● The unit can ice up at cold ambient temperatures and/or in continuous oper-
ation. The icing LED in the REMS Secco 50 lights up (Fig. 6 (18)). In the
REMS Secco 80, the icing symbol (18) appears in the display (2).
● Power cable defective.
● Device defective.

4. Maintenance
Notwithstanding the maintenance described below, it is recommended to send
in the electrical device to an authorised REMS contract customer service
workshop for inspection and periodic testing of electrical devices at least once
a year. In Germany, such periodic testing of electrical devices should be
performed in accordance with DIN VDE 0701-0702 and also prescribed for
mobile electrical equipment according to the accident prevention rules DGUV,
regulation 3 "Electrical Systems and Equipment". In addition, the respective
national safety provisions, rules and regulations valid for the application site
must be considered and observed.
4.1. Maintenance
WARNING
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug before maintenance work!
Clean the device regularly especially when it has not been in use for a long
time. Store the device in a frost-proof location. Empty and clean the conden-
sation tank (9) as well as the condensation tank with pump .
Clean the air filter (Fig. 6 (28)) of REMS Secco 50 regularly. Remove the air
filter in the direction of the arrow. Clean this with a suitable vacuum cleaner or
under running water. Renew the air filter if necessary. Let the air filter dry before
re-installing.
Clean the air filter mat of REMS Secco 80 regularly. To do this, pull the air filter
flap (Fig. 3 (17)) which is fastened by a magnet. Pull out wire rods, clean the
air filter mat and the air filter flap (17) with a suitable vacuum cleaner or under
running water. Renew the air filter mat if necessary.
Clean plastic parts (e.g. housing) only with REMS CleanM machine cleaner
(Art. No. 140119) or a mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not use household
cleaners. These often contain chemicals which can damage the plastic parts.
Never use petrol, turpentine, thinner or similar products for cleaning.
Make sure that liquids never get inside the device.
4.2. Inspection/Repair
WARNING
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out maintenance or repair work!
This work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
Filling as well as inspection and repair work on a refrigerating device with
the inflammable R-290 refrigerant are not permitted. A specially equipped
working environment and special training for the service personnel are required
for filling and for inspection and repair work on refrigerating devices with
inflammable refrigerant. Compliance with this rule reduces property damage
and personal injuries.
Remedy:
● Have the power cable replaced by qualified personnel or an authorised REMS
customer service workshop (REMS Secco 50). Replace power cable. (REMS
Secco 80).
● Have the apparatus checked/repaired by an authorised REMS customer
service workshop.
● No dehumidification necessary or correct the humidity setting on the device,
see 3. Operation
● Push in the condensation tank as far as it will go.
● See 2.4. 2
● See 2.3. 2 and 2.4. 2
Remedy:
● Wait or correct the humidity setting on the device, see 3.
● Change the operating mode, see 3.
Remedy:
● In the REMS Secco 50, the fan continues running, the compressor switches
off. After the ice has thawed, the compressor switches back on, the icing LED
goes out and dehumidification/drying continues. REMS Secco 80 is equipped
with an automatic hot gas thawing system. This is regulated by the device. The
device starts the dehumidification/drying automatically after thawing, the icing
symbol (18) switches off. Switch off the REMS Secco 80 if icing occurs at short
intervals. Wait until the ice has thawed completely. Then continue dehumidifi-
cation/drying.
● Have the power cable replaced by qualified personnel or an authorised REMS
customer service workshop (REMS Secco 50). Replace power cable (REMS
Secco 80).
● Have the device checked/repaired by an authorised REMS customer service
workshop.
