ENGLISH
Only connect the pump to electri-
cal circuits that have been in-
stalled properly in accordance with
the regulations and are fitted with
at least a 10 A (delay) fuse and an
FI circuit breaker (≤30 mA).
Check the plug and the mains cable
for signs of mechanical and chemi-
cal damage. Damaged or kinked
hoses must be replaced.
Condensates from condensing boil-
ers contain acids! These can cause
irreparable damage if they come
into contact with skin or eyes.
USE
The K2 plus condensate pump was
specially developed for removing ag-
gressive condensate from condensing
boilers (up to 100 kW), refrigerated and
freezer display cases, air conditioning
systems and air dehumidifiers.
ATTENTION! The maximum admissible
temperature of the pumped media is
40°C. In the event of higher media inlet
temperatures, even for a short time, the
inlet hose must be laid in the form of
several cooling loops.
Provided that regular maintenance is
performed, the pump unit can convey
condensate with a pH value of ≥ 2.7. If
lower pH values are present, even if only
intermittently, then a neutralisation sys-
tem must be fitted upstream.
In addition, local conditions or par-
ticular technical or legal requirements
(such as local drainage bye-laws) may
require the use of a neutralisation sys-
tem.
ATTENTION! Admixtures of oils, par-
ticularly essential oils, are not permit-
ted.
The use of the K2 plus is not permissi-
ble for removing waste water, such as
from washbasins.
Condensate from condensing
boilers contains aggressive ac-
ids.
ATTENTION! The maximum influx is 14
l/h. The temporary peak influx, such as
when defrosting must not exceed 70 l/h.
ATTENTION! The maximum delivery
head of 3.5 metres must not be exceed-
ed in order to prevent deposits from
forming and keep the pump in good
working order.
ATTENTION! It is not permitted to use
the K2 plus outdoors.
When installed in bath and
shower rooms, the applicable
electrical regulations must be
observed (in Germany VDE 0100 part
701)!
You will find further information in the
DWA working paper "Condensates from
condensing boilers",(ATV-DVWL-A 251).
If installed in compliance with the reg-
ulations and used properly, then this
pump unit meets the protective require-
ments of the EMC Directive 2004/108/
EC and is suitable for domestic use and
connection to a power supply from the
grid.
Storage
The K2 plus is frost-free if stored in a
dry place at up to -20°C. The conden-
sate in the system must not freeze how-
ever in its built-in state.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
Only qualified electricians may
carry out electrical work on the
pump, plug or the control unit.
Before carrying out any work,
unplug the pump unit from the
mains socket and ensure that
the power supply to the pump unit cannot
be switched on again by anyone else.
ATTENTION!
Never put the mains plug in
water! If water gets into the plug, this can
cause malfunctions and damage.
Current applicable standards (such as
EN standards), national regulations
(such as VDE in Germany), and the reg-
ulations of the local power supply com-
panies must be complied with.
Observe the operating voltage (see type
plate)!
Only connect the pump to safety sock-
ets that have been installed properly
in accordance with the regulations. No
additional motor protection is required,
since the system has an integrated
winding thermostat.
Unacceptably high temperatures cause
the thermostat to shut down the motor.
After the thermostat has
switched the system off, un-
plug the mains cable before
remedying the fault, since the pump
unit can switch itself on again automat-
ically if the power is still connected!
Level control
The pump is switched on and off au-
tomatically depending on the level of
water in the collecting tank. A mul-
ti-coloured display in the lid indicates
the current operating status of the unit:
∙ Green - Standby
∙ Green flashing - Pump in operation
∙Green/orange - Alarm, pump is run-
ning
∙ Red - Alarm, pump switched off
Alarm
①The first alert level is for early
reporting of faults (such as kinked pip-
ing, inadequate pump performance) be-
fore more serious failure can occur.
If the condensate pump runs but does
not reach the switch-off point within ap-
proximately 60 seconds, then the alarm
will sound. A loud alarm tone sounds,
the display on the top flashes green/
orange, the potential-free contact is
switched, but the pumps carries on
running.
If the K2 plus reaches the switch-off
point within the 60 seconds that follow,
it will revert to "standby" mode and the
alarm will stop.
②If the switch-off level is not
reached within a total of 120 seconds,
then the condensate pump will shut
down for safety reasons to prevent
damage from occurring as a result.
The alarm continues to sound as a con-
tinuous tone, the display in the lid will
light up red, and the potential-free fault
indicator contact will remain activated.
To turn off the continuous alarm tone,
briefly interrupt the power supply (un-
plug it from the mains, remove the fuse,
...).
Remote alarm indication
The standard fault indicator contact
(change-over contact 0.5A/230V) is de-
signed for connecting an external alarm
device or for the fault indicator input of
the heating control system). When rest-
ing, contacts 40/42 are closed, and if the
alarm sounds in a continuous tone then
contacts 40/41 are closed.
