Wiring the AquaGuard
ATTENTION:
Work Safe, READ THIS!
ATTENTION: FAILURE TO READ AND COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO STARTING INSTALLATION MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND VOID WARRANTY.
STOP/READ: This device must be installed in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. This unit must be in accordance with all applicable local plumbing, drainage and
electrical codes.
WARNING: Remove electrical shock hazard – DISCONNECT THE POWER BEFORE INSTALLING AQUAGUARD to avoid electrical shock and/or equipment damage.
Do not use on circuits exceeding 24 volts to avoid damage to switch, shock or fire hazard.
CAUTION: In some situations the switch may cause the unit to rapidly cycle on and off as water level rises slowly in pan. After a brief period the unit will turn off completely.
Condensation drain must be serviced if this occurs.
CAUTION: In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative switch due to power outages, a back-up system(s) and or alarm
should be installed.
NOTICE: The AquaGuard AG-1200+ must only be installed by a licensed contractor or under the direct supervision of same. Condensation pan must be properly maintained
after installation and be kept free from foreign objects, rust or other obstructions that might interfere with the proper operation of the AquaGuard float switch.
INSTALLATION OF FLOAT SWITCH ON DRAIN PAN:
(To ensure proper performance of product, instructions must be followed.)
1.
Disconnect power to unit at main panel. Disconnect power to the low voltage thermostat circuit.
2.
Loosen the three thumb screws (fig.1). Unscrew the top thumb screw until the clamp separates.
3.
Slide the float switch onto the side of the pan at the lowest point on the pan.
4.
Finger tighten the top thumb screw first, then the bottom two.
5.
Secure switch wires so they will not affect the operation of the float.
(fig.1)
WIRING THE AG-1200+ in a Conventional HVAC System:
(To ensure proper performance of product, instructions must be followed.)
1.
Ensure the power is disconnected to the unit at the main panel prior to moving to step 2.
Refer to the appliance manufacturer's installation and operating instructions and also review wire layout in their instructions.
2.
Locate the red wire coming from the 24 volt thermostat "R" terminal.
3.
Disconnect or cut red wire. Connect the non-ribbed wire of the switch, using a wire nut, to the thermostat side of the circuit. Connect the ribbed wire of the switch,
using a wire nut, to the air handler side of the circuit or to terminal in unit. Incorporating both switch wires in the red circuit will shut the unit completely off.
4.
Test the switch. (At start-up check initial amperage load.)
A. With unit on, test switch by pulling the float pin up. (fig. 2) Unit should stop running if switch is correctly wired.
B. To test switch responsiveness fill pan with water to ensure that the switch stops the unit before the pan overflows. Remove water.
