OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The M5450 is equipped with a Drain Trap which provides a controlled and
continuous means of slowly draining the condensate it collects. The Drain
Trap is piped in parallel with the main collection pipe so when the main pipe
is approximately ¾ full any additional condensate is diverted to the Drain Trap.
Once enough condensate accumulates in the Drain Trap its oat opens the Drain
Trap’s discharge port and slowly drains the water without releasing system air.
This continues until enough water has been drained and the oat closes the Drain
Trap’s discharge port. In addition, the Drain Trap is protected from debris and
contamination by a Y-Strainer connected to its inlet.
A 150W heater is also included in the M5450 and is controlled by a user-set
thermostat. The factory default setting of 60° F is suitable for conditions down to
0° F. Consult with AGF for recommended settings if operating the M5450 in an area
below 0° F. The thermostat controls the heater operation to within approximately ±
10° F of the set-point (i.e. Set-Point 60° F: ON @ 50° F, OFF @ 70° F).
NOTE: AGF does not recommend setting the thermostat below 60° F.
Power consumption of the M5450 is based on several factors including ambient
temperature, humidity, installation location, and exposure to sunlight. The
following graph shows an estimation of the daily energy consumption versus
ambient temperature when the set-point is 60° F.

The M5450 features a thermometer on the cabinet door for measuring the ambient
temperature inside the unit. This thermometer is for checking the operating status
of the internal heater. The reading on the thermometer, based on its location in the
cabinet, may range from 40° to 120° F, depending on when in the heater’s cycle
the thermometer is checked.
The system uses a oat-style level switch to monitor the collected condensate.
This Float Switch is tied back to the NEMA 4 Alarm Panel. In the event the Drain
Trap plumbing becomes obstructed and enough condensate accumulates, the
Float Switch will be activated. This will trigger the alarm to sound and the alarm
light to blink. The activation of the alarm and light indicates that the M5450 needs
to be emptied and that there is a possible obstruction in the Drain Trap Y-Strainer
or plumbing that needs to be investigated. A normally open auxiliary contact is
also triggered and is capable of being wired back to a Remote Panel. The Float
Switch is automatically reset when the water level is drained below the switch.
The M5450 is equipped with a “TEST” button to conrm that the Alarm Panel is
functioning properly. When pressed, the “TEST” button causes the local alarm to
sound and the alarm light to blink, and, if utilized, the auxiliary contact to alert the
Remote Panel.
The M5450H is equipped with a Heater Operation Trouble (HOT) Monitor that
veries the performance of the heater. In the event the cabinet door has been
left open or the heater is not keeping up with the temperature demand, the HOT
Monitor will cause the local alarm to sound and the alarm light to blink, and, if
utilized, the auxiliary contact to alert the Remote Panel.
To Collect Condensate per NFPA 25:
1. Open the cabinet door using the supplied keys.
2. Close the Drain Valve (lower valve).
3. Install the 1” Pipe Cap onto the pipe at the bottom of the
cabinet.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Maintenance is the cornerstone to keeping any system operating correctly and
efciently. It is the building owner’s responsibility to ensure that the M5450 has
been drained, that the heater and alarm are working properly, and that the screen
of the Y-Strainer is clean and free of obstructions. Failure to drain condensate from
the system or conduct regular testing and maintenance could result in system
failure due to freezing. System must be maintained per NFPA 25.
It is especially important that functional testing of the heater and inspection of the
Y-Strainer’s screen be performed before the start of the winter season or when
temperatures begin to approach freezing conditions.
Verify Alarm Operation:
Push and hold the “TEST” button on the Alarm Panel for ve seconds to verify that
the alarm sounds and the alarm light blinks.
Inspect the Y-Strainer Screen:
1. Drain condensate from the main collection assembly following steps 1 through
4 in the “TO DRAIN CONDENSATE” section.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT reopen the supply valve until further instructed.
2. Remove the hex cap from the Y-Strainer body using a wrench. A second
wrench may be needed to prevent the Y-Strainer from turning.
NOTE: Have a small cup ready to capture any residual water that may drain from
the Y-Strainer hex cap.
3. Remove the screen from the body of the Y-Strainer. Inspect and clean, as
necessary.
4. Reinstall the screen and tighten the hex cap.
