INTRODUCTION
Your Little Giant Peristaltic Condensate Pump is designed as a fully automatic
condensate removal system for the water dripping off an air conditioner
evaporator coil. The pump is not for contiuous use applications. This
instruction sheet will provide you with information required to safely own,
operate and service the Little Giant Peristaltic Condensate Pump. The pump
you have purchased is a small but powerful drain pump for the positive
displacement of condensate from fan coils and air conditioners. The design of
this pump allows the air handler to be located away from gravity water drains
since the condensate can be pumped to a common drain a distance away. The
Peristaltic pump is designed to
wall-mount, ceiling and cassette air conditioning equipment.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
SHUT OFF ELECTRICAL POWER AT FUSE BOX BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
SERVICE, DISCONNECT, CONNECT OR REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!
1. This pump is not to be used to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as
gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do n
2. Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet, damp
surface or when standing in water.
3. In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury might result
from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power outages, discharge line
blockage, or any other reason, a backup system(s) and/or alarm
4. Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure to
do so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc; or
may cause the pump to malfunction.
5. Place pump in an area where there is no danger of ingress of water.

PRE-INSTALLATION
1. Check the pump label for proper voltage and frequency required. Do not
connect to voltage and frequency other than that shown.
2. It is recommended to use ¼" I.D. or 6 mm I.D. tubing for both the inlet and
outlet. Inlet tubing is connected to the inlet fitting identified by an upward
arrow. Outlet or discharge tubing is connected to the outlet fitting identified
by a downward arrow.
3. Make sure the transparent cover is closed before operating.
INSTALLATION
Pump Mounting Installation:
The pump can be mounted adjacent, below or above (but not more than 2m
above) the condensate water source.
For best results, mount the pump with the hose connections facing down as
shown in Figure 1. B

The pump may also be positioned on any side, but not placed rotor downward
(Fig.1. C) or upward (Fig.1. A). Connect 6.0mm or 1/4" tubing (not provided) to the
pump intake indicated by the arrow pointing upward on the transparent cover.
Position the other end of the intake tube in the drip tray drain hose and seal it
accordingly or place the intake tube in the drip tray. (as shown in Figure 2). Be
careful not to twist, kink or collapse the tubing. Run a length of 6.0mm or ¼" tubing
(not provided) from the discharge of the pump to a gravity drain. Refer to Figure 2 for
maximum vertical and horizontal discharge capabilities.
CAUTION: Be certain that there are no sharp bends or kinks in the suction and
discharge tubing. Keep all tubing and cables clear of moving parts in the air handler.
If using Ty-raps to secure tubing, be certain the Ty-rap does not collapse tubing.
Collection Reservoir Installation (R Series only):
Locate the float reservoir in a suitable position below the bottom level of the
drip tray of the air
degrees of being level. Optimum performance is achieved when the reservoir
is level. If the reservoir is not mounted properly, the float mechanism may not
function properly and may overflow.
should be used.
Attach the 13mm (1/2") tube (provided) to the reservoir intake and the drip tray
outlet or drain hose. Be certain to support the reservoir when attaching tubing
and make sure the tubing is not twisted, kinked or collapsed when reservoir is
in place. Connect the long 4 x 6 mm (5/32") tubing (provided)to the discharge
of the reservoir marked "PUMP". Connect the other end of the 4 x 6 mm (5/32")
tubing to the provided 4 x 6 mm adapter. Use a short piece of 6 mm or ¼"
tubing (not provided) to connect the 4 x 6 mm adapter to the pump inlet fitting
identified by an upward arrow. Connect the short 4 x 6 mm (5/32") tubing
(provided) to the outlet of the reservoir marked "VENT". The free end of the
tubing must be directed upward above the drip tray to prevent overflow. Be
certain the tubing is not twisted, kinked or collapsed when installed.
SHUT OFF ELECTRICAL POWER AT FUSE BOX BEFORE MAKING ANY
CONNECTIONS. ALL WIRING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL CODES. CHECK THE
PUMP LABEL FOR PROPER VOLTAGE REQUIRED. DO NOT CONNECT TO
VOLTAGE OTHER THAN THAT SHOWN.

main phase (line), the blue wire to the neutral phase
must not be connected to a switched line. Electricity should always be
provided on this line. The orange wire is to be connected to the compressor or
cooling signal (See Figure 3). When the compressor engages, a 230V supply
voltage will be sent to start the pump.
