DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
We, Steelpumps, declare that our pumps AAD, AAR & AAT with pump type and
serial number as shown on the nameplate are constructed in accordante with
Directives 2006/95/EC and 89/336/EEC and assume full responsibility for
conformity with the standards laid down therein.
DESCRIPTION
Your Steelpumps peristaltic condensate pump is desi ned as a fully automatic
condensate removal system for the water drippin off an air conditioner
evaporator coil. The pump is not for contiuous use applications. The pump you
have purchased is a small but powerful drain pump for the positive displace-
ment of condensate from fan coils and air conditioners. The desi n of this pump
allows the air handler to be located away from ravity water drains since the
condensate can be pumped to a common drain a distance away. The peristaltic
pump is desi ned to remove condensation from fan coil, wall-mount, ceilin and
cassette air conditionin equipment.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
SHUT OFF ELE CTRICAL POWER AT FUSE BOX BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO SER ICE, DISCONNECT, CONNECT OR REMO E ANY COMPONENT!

PRE-INSTALL ATION
1. Check the pump label for proper volta e and frequency required. Do not
connect to volta e and frequency other than that shown.
2. It is recommended to use ¼” I.D. or 6 mm I.D. tubin for both the inlet
and outlet. Inlet tubin is connected to the inlet fittin identified by an
upward arrow. Outlet or dischar e tubin is connected to the outlet fittin
identified by a downward arrow.
3. Make sure the transparent cover is closed before operatin .
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 facin down as
shown in Fi ure 1B
The pump may also be positioned on any side, but not placed rotor downward
(Fi ure 1C) or upward (Fi ure 1A). Connect 6.0mm or 1/4” tubin (not
provided) to the pump intake indicated by the arrow pointin upward on the
transparent cover. Position the other end of the intake tube in the drip tray
drain hose and seal it accordin ly or place the intake tube in the drip tray
(Fi ure 2). Be careful not to twist, kink, or collapse the tubin . Run a len th of
6.0mm or ¼” tubin (not provided) from the dischar e of the pump to a ravity
drain. Refer to Fi ure 2 for maximum vertical and horizontal dischar e
capabilities.
FIGURE 2
CAUTION: Be certain that there are no sharp bends or kinks in the suction and
dischar e tubin . Keep all tubin and cables clear of movin parts in the air
handler. If usin Ty-raps to secure tubin , be certain the Ty-rap does not
collapse tubin .
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 conditioner. Be certain that the reservoir is within (+/-) 15
de rees of bein 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.
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 attachin tubin
and make sure the tubin is not twisted, kinked or collapsed when reservoir is in
place. Connect the lon 4 x 6 mm (5/32”) tubin (provided)to the dischar e of
the reservoir marked “PUMP”. Connect the other end of the 4 x 6 mm (5/32”)
tubin to the provided 4 x 6 mm adapter. Use a short piece of 6 mm or ¼”
tubin (not provided) to connect the 4 x 6 mm adapter to the pump inlet fittin
identified by an upward arrow. Connect the short 4 x 6 mm (5/32”) tubin
(provided) to the outlet of the reservoir marked “VENT”. The free end of the
tubin must be directed upward above the drip tray to prevent overflow. Be
certain the tubin is not twisted, kinked or collapsed when installed.
ELE CTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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.
AAD Series (compressor or coolin si nal) - Connect the brown wire to the
main phase (line), the blue wire to the neutral phase (common). The pump
must not be connected to a switched line. Electricity should always be provided
on this line. Connect the oran e wire to the compressor or coolin si nal (Fi ure
3). When the compressor en a es, a 230V supply volta e will be sent to start
the pump. When the compressor stops operatin , the pump will not stop. The
pump is pro rammed to continue operatin for another 5 minutes to collect any
residual condensate before stoppin .
Note: The compressor or coolin si nal neutral phase (common) needs to be
the same neutral phase (common) that is used to supply power to the
controller.
AAT Series (temperature si nal) FOR PROPER PUMP OPERATION, PLEASE
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: Connect the brown wire to the main phase
(line) and the blue wire to the neutral phase (common) (Fi ure 2). Make sure
power is off when connectin the temperature sensor to the pump. Connect the
sensor cable to the pump by connectin the 4-pron plu to the correspondin
FIGURE 1

cable on the pump. There are 2 lead wires with sensors at the ends; one lead
has a blue end and the other has a a red end. Affix the wire with the blue sen-
sor to the “cold” or “air out” side of the evaporator coil and the wire with the
red sensor to the “hot” or “air in” side of the evaporator coil (Fi ure 2).
FIGURE 3
The pump will start when a temperature difference of 5°C (9°F) is reached
between the blue and red sensor. As lon as the difference in temperature is
more than 5°C (9°F), the pump will operate. When the difference in temperatu-
re is less than 5°C (9°F), the current cuts off and the pump will continue to
operate for 5 minutesthen stop. NOTE: Never put the sensors directly into
water or condensate. Do not attach the sensors to the refri eration pipin . Do
not leave the sensors loose in the open air.
AAR Series (reservoir control tank) - Connect the brown wire to the main
phase (line) and the blue wire to the neutral phase (common) (Fi ure 4). Make
sure power is off when connectin the reservoir to the pump. Connect the cable
from the reservoir tank to the pump by connectin the 4-pron plu to the
correspondin cable on the pump.
FIGURE 4
AAR Series (overflow/alarm connection) - Connect the cables as described
below to obtain the desired response:
C and NC – When water rises, the circuit opens to turn off the compressor and
prevents overflow by connectin the ray with the blue stripe wire and the
yellow with the blue stripe wire. (Fi ure 4)
C and NO – When water rises, the circuit closes to activate a bell or alarm (not
provided) by connectin the ray with the blue stripe wire and the purple with
theyellow stripe wire (Fi ure 4).
The ratin for the alarm circuit is 200VDC, 1 amp max., and 15 watts max.
Pump to Power Supply:
Brown – main phase (line)
Blue – neutral phase (common)
After electrical connections have been made, check the pump for proper
operation. Press the test switch to determine if pump operates properly.
SER ICE INSTRUCTIONS
DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING
OR REMOVING ANY COMPONENTS.
Inspect and clean the reservoir tank whenever the air conditioner is
serviced or at the beginning of the season.
Reservoir: Carefully remove the reservoir cover by ently flexin the lockin
tab.
Be careful not to dama e the o-rin . Remove the mesh screen and rinse it
under runnin water. Remove any debris that may block the mesh. Use a damp
cloth to remove dust or debris from the reservoir. When re-installin the float/
ma net, be certain that the beveled ed e of the float is up and the ma net is
properly seated before reassemblin the reservoir. Carefully hook the cover and
then press it onto the tank until the sprin tab snaps in place. Use care to make
sure the o-rin is properly installed (that is, not twisted, torn, or otherwise out
of its track.)
FIGURE 5
Pump Tubing Replacement:
1. Disconnect the pump from the power source.
2. Open the transparent cover.
3. To remove the pump tube, put the rotor in a vertical position, and remove
the inlet side tubin from its left seat. Pull the tubin upward while ma-
nually rotatin the rotor clockwise. Fully remove the tube from the ri ht
seat.
4. Apply a small amount of silicone rease to the new tube before installin it;
this will help lubricate the tube. No other lubrication is required.
5. To install the pump tube, put the rotor in a horizontal position. Push the
inlet side tube connector into the left seat, makin sure it is fully inserted.
While rotatin the rotor clockwise, push the tubin into place. Once the
tubin is moved into position, insert the outlet connector into the seat of
the ri ht side.
