CONNECTING THE PIPING
For best results, the drain should be below or approx. level with the bottom of the pump tank. If it is not
possible to slope the line downward, make an inverted “U” trap at the highest point of the discharge line
above the pump.
For further installation advice please call the technical support helpline on +44(0)115 900 5858.
WIRING
Shut off electrical power at the fuse box before making any wiring connections. All wiring must be done
according to local and/or applicable national codes.
1. Main power: Connect the power cord to a constant line voltage source, not a fan or other device that
may run intermittently.
2. Overflow alarm switch: The pump is equipped with an overflow alarm switch (NC) that switches off the
air conditioner in the event of pump failure. Max power rating is limited to 3VA. In cases where cooling
requirements are a necessity, the alarm switch may trigger an optional or acoustic signal emitter.
3. If fused plug is used, a 3 amp fuse is recommended.
TESTING
1. With the unit plugged in and the discharge line in place, pour water into the pump reservoir until the unit
activates to verify the unit works properly.
2. To test the overflow alarm circuit :
• Energise the appliance so it runs.
• Kink the tube coming from the pump discharge, or unplug the power cord, so it cannot pump out.
• Pour water into the pump reservoir, filling it completely
• As the water level nears the top of the unit the overflow alarm should activate (e.g. triggering an
alarm circuit, if used).
• Un-kink the tube, or plug the cord in, and allow the pump to empty the tank. As the water level
goes down the overflow safety switch will deactivate and the appliance will energise again (or the
alarm will reset)
MAINTENANCE
1. Before attempting to service or remove any component, make sure that the unit is disconnected from the
power source, including the overflow switch
2. Unfasten the check valve with a spanner. Clean the check valve and verify it is operation.
3. Disassemble the cover and water tank from the main plate.
4. Be sure the floats move freely. Clean as necessary.
5. Clean the tank with warm water and mild soap.
6. Check the inlet and outlet piping. Clean as necessary. Be sure there are no kinks in the line that would
inhibit flow.
7. After the servicing, assemble the unit by the reverse order.
8. To re-install the check valve, fasten it manually and tight en with a wrench.
9. In case of a long-term break, remove water from the hose an d the water tank.
