Maintenance
Inspect, clean and test this device at least every 30 days and following every cleaning of the drain line. 1. Clear debris or any other obstacles around the
Stem Subassembly. 2. Check for any damage. If damage is observed, replace this product with a new one. 3. Test switch function by following Step 6-7 in the
“AUXILIARY DRAIN PAN INSTALLATION” section below. If this product failed function test, replace it with a new one.
Wiring
1. Disconnect power to A/C unit at the main panel prior to performing electrical work.
2. If not present, it is recommended that an inline fuse be installed to protect 24-volt circuit and
time delay be congured to avoid rapid cycling of equipment. 3. Locate the 24-volt thermostat
cable entering the air handler unit. 4. Disconnect or cut the red wire and connect to switch lead
using wire nut. Connect other switch lead to air handler terminal. Incorporating switch in red circuit
shuts down entire unit. If placed in the yellow circuit, fan continues to run (to inhibit mold growth
during long absences.) 5. Reconnect power to the A/C unit. (Fig. 4)

Installation Instructions:
Notice:Failure to read and comply with all warnings, cautions and instructions prior to starting installation may cause personal injury and/
or property damage and void the warranty.
AUXILIARY DRAINPANINSTALLATION (Works with 1-2” deep drain pans):
1.Disconnect power to air conditioner (A/C) unit at main panel. 2. Clip Bracket onto the side of the auxiliary drain pan at the
lowest end (Fig 1). 3. Secure the Thumb Screw until the Bracket is rmly attached to the pan (Fig 2), ensuring switch wires are
positioned up. Float should move freely. 4. It is recommended to push the Stem to the bottom position for the most sensitive
water detection (Fig 3). Ensure Stem Subassembly is rmly secured to the bracket. 5. Wire the switch per instructions under
WIRING (Fig. 4). 6. Test the switch by lifting the Float while the unit is running. If wired correctly, the A/C unit will stop. 7. Test
switch sensitivity: Fill pan with water. Float should rise and A/C unit should stop before pan overows. If sensitivity needs to
be adjusted, move the Stem Subassembly up or down accordingly. 8. Place the included Warning Sticker on a visible surface,
such as the air handler or condenser unit.
