Installation
Make sure that the tubing to the pump intake is fastened
securely so that it cannot come out of the pump intake
port. Check for local code requirements. You must
comply with codes.

discharge to floor drain or laundry tub.
Check local codes for discharge water requirements.
Run the discharge line to a point outside the house if
possible. To do this easily, you may be able to run the
condensate discharge line out through the wall along
the AC freon line. Use the existing line if possible (when
replacing an existing pump).
Clamping the plastic discharge line to the check valve
with a 1/2" hose clamp (purchase separately) will help
to keep it in place, especially with older tubing (plastic
tubing tends to harden as it gets older).
Common locations for the end of the discharge line are:
A. Out a window or along the air conditioner freon
line to the outdoors.
B. To a floor drain (leave an air gap between the end of
the tube and the drain).
C. To a laundry tub or sink (leave an air gap above the
tub drain).
Plug pump into a 115-volt outlet
that carries power that will not be
interrupted. Do not connect pump to
a fan or limit control circuit or the like.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn

With the unit plugged in and the discharge line
installed, fill the pump reservoir until the pump starts.
Allow it to pump down and shut itself off automatically
to verify proper operation through one complete cycle.

Safety Switch

Most models include an automatic safety switch which
should be wired to activate an alarm or to cut off power
in the event of high water in the condensate reservoir.
If you must run additional wire from the low voltage
safety switch to the alarm or to the control wiring of
your furnace/AC unit, use at least 18 gauge (AWG)
copper wire rated at 105° C. Make connections with
wire nuts as shown.
If your installation allows interruption of heating or
cooling, follow procedure 1, below.
If your installation does not allow interruption of heating
or cooling, follow procedure 2, "Safety Switch Sounds
Alarm".
Risk of electric shock . Can shock, burn or
kill. Disconnect power to furnace/AC unit and be sure
condensate pump is unplugged before starting procedure.
1. Safety Switch Shuts Down Furnace/AC
A. Make sure the pump is unplugged.
B. Find the red wire in the bundle from the thermostat
and disconnect it from the furnace/AC unit.
C. Connect the red wire to one of the white wires from
the safety switch as shown in Figure 1.
D. Connect the other white wire from the switch to the
furnace/AC terminal strip where the red wire from
the thermostat was connected.
E. Plug in the pump.
F. The furnace/AC will now operate as long as the
condensate pump empties the reservoir. If the
reservoir overfills, the switch will open and cut off
the power to the furnace/AC.
