1. Carefully unpack the unit, check for damage and make sure that all of the required parts are included. The units
are thoroughly tested before packaging to ensure safe delivery and operation. If there is any sign of damage due to
shipment, return it to the place of purchase for repair or replacement.
2. Choose a mounting location near the air-conditioner or boiler. The pump must be mounted level and the inlet must
be below the lowest drain.
• Fully automatic operation
• Low noise, ball-bearing motor with thermal protector
• Check valve to prevent back-ow of liquid into the unit
• Overow safety alarm switch
• Compact size
The PH-0-8LC condensate pump is designed to automatically remove condensate uid from an air-conditioner,
evaporator coil and/or an oil or gas condensing warm boiler. This pump is made from a tough ABS plastic body to resist
corrosion and impact.

1. Run exible tubing or pipe from the condensate drain on the evaporator pan and/or drain from boiler to the
evaporator pan and/or drain from boiler to the inlet hole on the pump. This drain line should have a continuous
downward slope to allow gravity ow. Cut the end of the line at an angle so the end does not close off on the bottom
of the pump’s tank.
Note: If there’s an overow drain from the evaporator pan or from the boiler, it may be necessary to join the overow
and the main drain together before they enter the pump.
2. Connect the discharge line by hand, tighten the cap nut of the check valve in a clockwise direction. A exible tubing
with an internal diameter of 3/8” will be suitable. Extend the discharge line straight up from the pump to the highest
point, run the discharge line to a drain with a downward slope.
For best results, the drain should be below or approx. level with the bottom of the pump tank. If it is not possible to
slope the line downward, make an inverted “U” trap at the highest point of the discharge line above the pump. If the
pumps are used in combination with an external neutralisation box we strongly recommend an additional lter at the
pump’s intake port.
Note: Although not needed for these pumps, local regulations may require the use of a condensate neutraliser
when using this pump with a condensate gas boiler. Consult local authorities for guidelines.
Shut off electrical power at the fuse box before making any wiring connections. All wiring must be done according to local
and/or applicable national codes.
1. Main power: Connect the power cord to a constant line voltage source, not a fan or other device that may run
intermittently.
2. Overow alarm switch: The pump is equipped with an overow alarm switch (NO) that switches off the boliers
thermostat or air conditioner in the event of pump failure. To handle such high power rates an additional relay must
be wired in the alarm circuit because the max power rating of the integrated switch is limited to 24 V / 6VA. In cases
where heating or cooling requirements are a neccessity, the alarm switch may trigger an optional or acoustic signal
emitter.
1. With the unit plugged in and the discharge line in place, pour water into the pump reservoir until the unit activates to
verify the unit works properly.
2. To test the overow alarm circuit :
• Energise the appliance so it runs.
• Kink the tube coming from the pump discharge, or unplug the power cord, so it cannot pump out.
• Pour water into the pump reservoir, lling it completely
• As the water level nears the top of the unit the overow alarm should activate (e.g. triggering an alarm circuit, if used).
• Un-kink the tube, or plug the cord in, and allow the pump to empty the tank. As the water level goes down the
overow safety switch will deactivate and the appliance will energise again (or the alarm will reset)

If the pump does not function properly, refer to the following:
1. Unit does not run:
• Check the power supply.
• Check the appliance to see if condensation is actually being generated.
• Check to make sure the pump oat mechanism moves freely and clicks the activation switch when moved up and
down.
• Check the drain line(s) into the pump for obstructions. Note: If these lines are clogged and remain clogged, the
appliance may eventually be damaged.
2. Pump makes loud noise when running:
• Check the tank for debris and clean if necessary. Refer to the maintenance section for cleaning instructions.
3. Unit runs but does not pump liquid out:
• Check the oats to be sure that they are not stuck in the up position.
• Check the height of the discharge tubing to be sure it does not exceed the allowed head (see specications)
• Check the discharge tube for obstructions and clear if needed.
• Check the valve for obstructions. Refer to the maintenance section for cleaning instructions.
4. Liquid drains back into pump from discharge line:
• Check valve may have debris in it. Refer to the maintenance section for cleaning instructions.
• If the discharge line is plumbed so the highest point is less than 1m above the pump, the check valve may allow liquid
to drain out of the line. This is normal and will not damage the pump.
5. Liquid leaks from around the check valve
• Check the proper t of the cap nut that holds the discharge tube in place.
• If the check valve is too tight or too loose it may leak around the O-ring. Check that the valve is hand tight, and then
tighten an additional 1/2 turn with a wrench.
• If the O-ring under the check valve is damaged, replace with a new one or purchase a replacement check valve, which
includes an O-ring.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Before attempting to service or remove any component, make sure that the unit is disconnected from the power
source.
2. Unfasten the check valve with a wrench. Clean the check valve and verify its operation.
3. Disassemble the cover and water tank from the main plate.
4. Be sure the oats move freely. Clean as necessary.
5. Clean the tank with warm water and mild soap.
6. Check the inlet and outlet piping. Clean as necessary. Be sure there are no kinks in the line that would inhibit ow.
7. After the servicing, assemble the unit by the reverse order.
8. To re-install the check valve, fasten it manually and tighten a half turn further with a wrench. Be careful not to over-
tighten as this may distort the o-ring seal under the check valve.
9. In case of a long-term break, remove water from the hose and the water tank.
