SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNING
Under normal use this equipment requires no user intervention. Installation, both fixing
and electrical, and maintenance work shall be carried out only by the manufacturer or
by its service center or in any case by a person having similar skills, so as to prevent
any risk. Electrical installation of equipment shall be in compliance with these
installation instructions and with all National and Local Regulations for Electrical Safety.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, the following safety
instructions shall be used:
This pump is intended for indoor use with water only (max 25°C).
This pump is NOT SUBMERSIBLE.
Disconnect ALL power supplies before starting installation, connection or
maintenance work.
This pump is provided with a grounding conductor. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding type
receptacle.
All interconnecting tubes and cables should be confined within the air conditioning
unit, or enclosed in any way
During electrical installation, make sure this condensate pump is connected to a
circuit having switch with contact separation in all poles that provide full
disconnection from the power supply under over-voltage categories III
During electrical installation, a fuse non-time delay (rated 250V 1A), shall be fitted
into the line, supply side, see electrical installation section.
The power cord is not replaceable. If the power cord is damaged then the entire
pump must be replaced.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they are not left unattended in the
area where the pump is in use.
Children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities which
limits their ability to use the appliance should have a responsible person to instruct
them in its use.
Do not allow any chemicals to come into contact with this pump. Remove the pump
from the system before using cleaning fluid or any other chemicals. Flush the system
with clean water before re-connecting the pump.
All fittings on this pump are designed to be finger-tight. The use of tools to attach
pipework may result in damage to the pump.
In any installations where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an
inoperative or leaking pump, it is strongly recommended that the alarm relay should be
used to operate an alarm and/or switch off the air conditioning unit.

Operation
The PANTHER sensor will automatically start the pump when condensate is detected and
stop the pump when the condensate has been removed. The PANTHER sensor is also
fitted with a high water level alarm that will operate the alarm relay if the water level rises
to abnormal levels. The pump will continue to run until the minimum water level is reached
and then the alarm will reset.
The PANTHER sensor can be positioned in any suitable location within the equipment
below the level of the collection tray. The top of the breather tube should be positioned
above the highest level that the condensate may reach. Three typical installations are
shown below. (Fig.4) Horizontal mounting, typical of high wall mounted fan units. (Fig.5)
Angled, typical of direct mounting to collection tray. (Fig.6) Vertical, typical of cassette unit
mounting.

Sensor installation
The PANTHER sensor can be installed at any angle between horizontal and vertical so
long as the breather tube inlet is above the condensate inlet (Fig. 3). The PANTHER
sensor can also be tilted sideways up to 30° from horizontal (Fig. 2).

Wiring Connections
Connect the ground, live and neutral wire from the supply cable of the PANTHER pump
to the supply terminals (see Fig.6)
This product must be connected using a switch with contact separation in all poles that
provide full disconnection from the power supply under over-voltage categories III. A
fuse non time delay (rated 250V 1A), shall be fitted into the line, supply side (see
Fig.10).
Pump installation
The PANTHER pump can be installed in any convenient space inside the equipment,
trunking or voids up to 1 metre above the sensor. Typical installations are shown below.
(Fig.7) Inside the air handler. (Fig.8) In a false ceiling above the air handler. (Fig.9)
Inside trunking or false wall.
Where possible the pump should be placed on or wrapped in foam insulation
and cables and tubes should be secured to reduce vibration and noise.

WARRANTY
This product is guaranteed for two years to be free from manufacturing defects or faulty
materials. If it should fail for either of these reasons within two years from the date of
manufacture it will be repaired or replaced free of charge, at the option of EDC
International Limited.
EDC International Limited can accept no liability whatsoever for any loss or damage
arising from the use of this product, however caused. Before using this product the user
should satisfy himself that it is suitable for use in the intended application and for the
manner in which it is intended that it be used.
This product is subject to continuous development and improvement and EDC
International Limited reserves the right to alter the specification or design without prior
notice.
Testing
Before testing, ensure that the collection tray and drain hose is free of dirt and debris.
Pour clean tap water into the collection tray until the pump starts. Pump operation may
be noisy initially until any air has been purged from the system.
Continue to add water and the pump should switch to full power and the alarm contacts
should open. Do not continue to add water if it becomes visible in the breather tube.
Allow the PANTHER to clear the water. The pump should switch off and the alarm relay
should reset.
Pump is pumping air:
Check that the sensor is in the correct
orientation.
Check the tube between sensor and
pump.
Check that the pump outlet tube is not
syphoning.
Check sensor for dirt or mould.
Trouble Shooting
Pump does not run:
Check fuse and electrical supply connections.
Check that water is reaching the pump sensor
in sufficient quantities to start the pump.
Check the sensor connector is plugged into the
pump.
Pump is noisy:
Check that the , mains cable and
outlet tube are not vibrating against the sides of
the equipment.
Pump continues to run with no water:
The water sensor can become over sensitive if
contaminated by dirt or certain cleaning
chemicals. If this occurs the pump may
continue to run with no water. Disconnect the
sensor from the pump and flush the
sensor by pouring clean tap water into the inlet
for around 30 seconds (Fig. 11).
If the problem persists, flush with methylated
spirit and then rinse with water.
In dirty environments an in-line filter is
recommended to avoid pump and sensor
damage.
