2. Condensate Inlet Connection: Connect the condensate drain line from your boiler or HVAC unit to the pump's inlet port. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
3. Discharge Outlet Connection: Attach the clear discharge tubing to the pump's outlet port. Route the tubing to a suitable drain point, ensuring there are no kinks or sharp bends that could impede flow. The recommended maximum discharge height is 10 meters.
4. Electrical Connection: The pump operates on 230V. Connect the pump's electrical wiring to a dedicated power supply in accordance with local electrical regulations. Ensure the power supply is switched off before making connections. The pump includes a 3.0 A safety switch.
5. Testing: Once all connections are made, restore power to the unit. Introduce a small amount of water into the pump's reservoir to verify proper operation and check for any leaks.

Operating Instructions

The Aspen Pumps FP2943 condensate pump is designed for automatic operation. It will activate when the condensate level in its reservoir reaches a predetermined level and will pump the water out until the level drops. The pump is equipped with a thermal protection feature to prevent overheating.

• Ensure the pump is always connected to a continuous power supply.
• The pump's maximum flow rate is 12 liters per hour at 0 meters head.
• The noise level at 1 meter is approximately 21 dB(A), indicating quiet operation.
• The pump can handle water temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your condensate pump. It is recommended to perform these checks periodically, at least once every six months, or more frequently depending on the condensate quality.

1. Power Disconnection: Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before any maintenance.
2. Reservoir Cleaning: Remove the pump cover and clean the inside of the reservoir to remove any sludge, debris, or algae buildup. Use a mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Float Switch Check: Ensure the float switch moves freely and is not obstructed by debris. Clean if necessary.
4. Tubing Inspection: Check the inlet and discharge tubing for any blockages, kinks, or signs of wear. Clear any obstructions.
5. Reassembly and Test: Reassemble the pump components, restore power, and test the pump's operation by manually adding water to the reservoir.
