Preparing The Condensate Discharge - Olimpia splendid UNICO Tower Instrucciones Para La Instalación, Uso Y El Mantenimiento

• When installing models equipped with heating pump, if no condensate discharge was built into the wall
(see paragraph 2.4.2), in order to drain the condensate it will be necessary to drill a hole through the
wall in the position shown on the template.

2.4.2 - Preparing the condensate discharge

• For the machines with heat pump, the condensate drain pipe must be connected to the air conditioner
(fig. 1 - ref. I) (supplied).
The condensate drain pipe (I) can be connected to the fitting (6), which is accessed after having opened
the door under the unit and having removed the cap (6a). (fig.7)
Alternatively, the condensate drain pipe (I) can be connected directly to the internal fitting (11) after
having removed the rear panel.
in this case, operate as follows:
- loosen the screws on the rear panel and remove it (fig.36)
- Remove the condensate drain pipe (10) from the internal fitting (11). (Fig. 37)
- Connect the condensate drain pipe (I) supplied to the internal fitting (11). (Fig. 38)
- remove the insulation in correspondence with hole a present in the rear panel. (fig. 39)
- insert the condensate drain pipe (i) in the hole of the rear panel. (fig.40-41)
- tighten the rear panel screws and re-mount it. (fig.42)
Check that the cap (6a) in the drain nipple is inserted. (fig.42)
When the max level is reached, a solenoid valve ensures the condensate will flow out from the internal
tray.
• For cold-only machines, connect the condensate discharge pipe if you intend running the unit at low
outdoor temperatures (lower than 23°C).
• Since condensate drains by gravity, there must be a minimum slope of at least 3% at every point of the
discharge line. Use a rigid or flexible tube having an inside diameter of at least 16 mm.
• If the line empties into a sewerage system, install a siphon before the point in which the pipe reaches
the main discharge, at least 300 mm below the inlet from the unit (fig. 8).
• If the drainpipe drains into a vessel (tank or other container), this container should not be sealed and
the drainpipe should not remain immersed in the water (see fig. 9).
• The hole through which the condensate pipe passes should always slope towards the outside (see fig.
10).
the exact position in which to place the pipe inlet, as compared to the machine, is shown on the drilling
template.
Make sure, in this case, that the water expelled outward does not damage or
disturb persons or property.
During the winter this type of drainage may cause sheets of ice to form.
When the condensate drainage is fitted, pay much attention not to compress
the rubber hose.
In the event of operation during the winter with temperatures equal to or lower than 0° C, make
sure that the condensate drain pipe is protected from freezing in order to ensure draining.
In the event of prolonged operation during the winter with temperatures below 5°C, install the
optional basin heater kit.
