2. Enfòmasyon sou Sekirite

AVÈTISMAN: Risk pou chòk elektrik. Dekonekte kouran an anvan ou fè antretyen.

  • Li tout enstriksyon yo ak anpil atansyon anvan enstalasyon ak operasyon.
  • Asire w ke ekipman pou pouvwa a koresponn ak vòltaj ponp lan.tage (115V).
  • Pa fè ponp lan fonksyone si kòd la oswa ploge a domaje.
  • Do not immerse the pump in water.
  • This pump is designed for indoor use only.
  • Kenbe men w lwen pati k ap deplase pandan operasyon an.
  • Asire bon baz dapre kòd elektrik lokal yo.
  • The pump is equipped with a safety switch. Ensure it is correctly wired to prevent overflow.

3. Pake kontni

Verifye ke tout konpozan yo prezan anvan ou kòmanse enstalasyon an:

4. Enstalasyon ak Enstalasyon

4.1 Monte ponp lan

The pump features stainless steel multi-slot mounting tabs for secure installation. Ensure the pump is placed on a level surface. Use the integrated bullseye level on the lid to confirm proper horizontal alignment.

4.2 Condensate Inlet Connections

The pump is equipped with four 1-1/8-inch diameter inlet holes for connecting condensate drain lines from your HVAC equipment. Connect the drain line(s) to any available inlet(s).

4.3 Koneksyon Liy Egzeyat

Connect a 3/8" I.D. vinyl tubing (not included) to the 3/8" O.D. barbed check valve. The check valve twists to lock into place on the pump, preventing backflow of discharged water. Route the discharge line to an appropriate drain, ensuring it has a continuous downward slope and is free from kinks or obstructions. The pump can lift water up to 17 feet vertically.

4.4 Koneksyon elektrik

Plug the 6-ft grounded power cord into a standard 115V electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded and protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) if required by local codes.

4.5 Safety Switch Wiring

The integrated safety switch is designed to shut down the HVAC equipment or trigger an alarm in case of a pump malfunction or high water level, preventing overflow. Consult your HVAC equipment manual for proper wiring of the safety switch. Typically, the safety switch wires are connected in series with the low-voltage thermostat circuit of the HVAC unit.

5. Operasyon

5.1 Automatic On/Off Operation

The Beckett BK171UL pump operates automatically. When condensate water in the collection tank reaches a predetermined level, the pump will activate, remove the water, and then shut off once the water level drops. This automatic cycle ensures efficient condensate removal without constant monitoring.

5.2 Lift-to-Test Function

A "lift-to-test" tab is provided on the pump lid. Lifting this tab manually raises the float, simulating a high water level and activating the pump. This feature allows for quick testing of the pump's functionality and can also be used to drain the tank for servicing.

6. Antretyen

Antretyen regilye asire pèfòmans optimal epi pwolonje lavi ponp kondansasyon ou an.

  • Enspeksyon chak mwa: Visually inspect the pump, inlet, and discharge lines for any blockages, leaks, or damage. Ensure the discharge line is free of kinks.
  • Quarterly Cleaning:
    1. Disconnect power to the pump and the HVAC unit.
    2. Use the lift-to-test tab to drain the tank, or manually remove any remaining water.
    3. Carefully remove the pump cover.
    4. Clean the collection tank, floats, and impeller area to remove any sludge, debris, or mineral deposits. A mild detergent and soft brush can be used.
    5. Rense tout konpozan yo byen avèk dlo pwòp.
    6. Reassemble the pump, ensuring the cover is securely in place.
    7. Reconnect power and test the pump using the lift-to-test tab.
  • Liy Egzeyat: Periodically check the discharge line for algae or mineral buildup, especially if the pump is handling acidic condensate. Clean or replace the tubing as necessary.
