INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

MODEL COND-1 Condensate Pump

PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS

NOTICE TO INSTALLER: Instructions must remain with installation.

1. To help reduce the risk of electrical shock, a properly

grounded receptacle or control box of grounding type must

be installed and protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) in accordance with the National Electrical Code and

applicable local codes. If pump is wired direct, a GFCI must

be installed in the control box. (SEE WARNING BELOW)

2. Make certain that the ground fault interrupter protected recep-

tacle or control box is within reach of the pump’s power supply

cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords

that are too long or too light do not deliver sufcient voltage

to the pump motor. But more important, they could present a

safety hazard if the insulation were to become damaged or

the connection end were to fall into a damp or wet area.

3. Make sure the pump's electrical supply circuit is equipped

with fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate

branch circuit, sized according to the National Electrical Code

Ten Helpful Hints For Easy Installation 1. Read all instructions before beginning installation. 2. Be sure the installation does not exceed a maximum of 15 feet of vertical lift. 3. Be sure the pump is level within 1/8" for the length of the condensate pump. 4. Use soapy water when cleaning unit. Refer to maintenance guidelines. 5. For best results, drain and discharge lines should have a continuous downward slope. 6. Test operation of pump per STEP 5. 7.

STEP 3 Installation of Discharge Line Note: Do not use flexible tubing larger than 3/8” ID. A hose clamp (not included) is recommended. 3.1) Extend the discharge pipe, from the barbed check valve, to the highest point possible. Refer to Figure 3.1 3.2) From this point, direct the discharge line to the location of the main drain, maintain a continuous downward slope. Note: If a continuous downward slope is not possible, then make an inverted “U” at the highest point of the discharge line.

STEP 5 Testing of Pump Operation 5.1) Testing of Pump (Main Switch) 1) With the discharge line in place, plug in the pump. 2) Pour water into the pump reservoir, through one of the inlets, until the pump activates to verify that the unit works. Note: If both inlets are plumbed, then it will be necessary to temporarily remove one of the pipes in order to pour water into the reservoir. Replace pipe once testing is complete. 5.
