ATE LC15: five checks before choosing a wall drying device

ATE LC30 PULSE: a discreet mains-powered option for damp walls
October 20, 2026
Floor area alone is not enough to choose a device for rising damp. The ATE LC30 has an advertised coverage diameter of 30 metres. Start with the layout of your building and the position where the device can be installed, then compare the relevant distances.
Compare a distance, not square metres
A 30 m diameter corresponds to a radius of 15 m; it does not mean 30 square metres. Locate the affected walls on a plan and check the installation conditions. The ATE LC30 is an electromagnetic, mains-powered device. The LC15 advertises 15 m, LC30 and LC30 PULSE 30 m, and ATE MAX 60 m: select the coverage that fits the building rather than simply the largest number.
Start with the cause of the damp
These devices are intended for walls affected by rising damp. They do not treat plumbing leaks, penetrating damp or condensation. Identifying the cause before ordering helps you choose the appropriate response and compare devices on a sound basis.
Allow for gradual drying
Wall drying is progressive and depends on the building, materials, wall coverings, ventilation and installation conditions. The indicative period of 18–24 months is not a guarantee of complete drying. A larger coverage diameter does not, by itself, mean faster results.
Prepare your purchase with the right information
The product pages contain the current price, installation video and manual. Compare the coverage with your layout and read the instructions before choosing a position. If your building has an unusual shape or several connected spaces, our team can help you compare the options.
