TP1 condensate pump installation and operating instructions GB
8.2 8.2 Alarm connection
The TP1 condensate pump is equipped with an alarm connection (switching with a 15 sec delay). This allows
the condensing or air conditioning system to be switched off to prevent more condensate being fed and the
tank overflowing. If the alarm connection is to be used, the 2 m alarm connection cable must be connected as
shown in the illustration. If the cable is not long enough, we recommend that you connect a distribution box.
The alarm cable is permanently connected to the pump and cannot be removed. If the alarm connection is
not used, the alarm cable can be cut off directly at the pump. In order to prevent moisture penetrating into the
pump electronics, replace the original rubber cap with the hole with the closed rubber cap provided.
8.3 Testing for function
After installing the condensate pump, we recommend that you test it to ensure that it functions correctly. To
test the function, pour water (approx. 0.3 l) into the tank – via the secondary inlet opening if possible, until the
activation level is reached and the pump starts. If air in the pump causes the integrated dry-run protection to
actuate (pump deactivates, green and red operating lamp flash), add a further 0.2 l of water and wait for one
minute. The pump restarts automatically after one minute.
The TP1 condensate pump is now functional.
The condensate supply hose must be routed with a downward slope to the TP1. It must be inserted deep
enough into the tank inlet so that it cannot slip out unintentionally. (An additional hose – e.g. for draining leaking
water drops from the boiler safety valve – can be inserted into the second inlet opening.)
The pressure hose for draining the condensate must be inserted as far as possible onto the non-return valve.
We recommend that you also secure the hoses using hose clamps. Afterwards lock the non-return valve by
rotating it one quarter turn clockwise. See item 7 of the installation sequence on the remaining procedure for
laying the pressure hose.
9 Maintenance / Disassembly
The TP1 condensate pump must be disconnected from the mains power supply before maintenance
or disassembly!
The TP1 pump does not require special maintenance. However, we recommend that you remove encrustation
and rinse with clear water regularly in accordance with the occurrence of soiling.
When you press in the clip, the TP1 can be removed by pulling it upwards away from the
mounting bracket (see exploded view illustration).
Disassembly of the condensate pump: Remove the pressure hose and non-return valve from
the pump housing by turning them one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
Pull the condensate supply hose carefully out of the tank.
Condensate from condensing systems is aggressive. Avoid contact with residual condensate in the
tank, in the condensate supply hose or in the pressure hose!

WARNING
8.1 Electrical connection
The TP1 has a 2.0 m long mains cable with a shock-proof plug. If the cable is not long enough, we recommend
that you use an extension lead or connect a distribution box. The mains cable is permanently connected to the
pump and cannot be removed and replaced with a longer mains cable.
The electrical connection used must comply with the applicable standards. In particular, it must be properly
earthed and fused.
Electrical work may only be performed by qualified staff! !
