Vintage Cellars Condensate Pump - Manual

3. Mounting the pump: the tank has two slots provided to mount the unit.
The slots are located on the ends of the tank (Figure 5). The unit should
be mounted either on the side of the air conditioner unit or nearby wall.
Pump must be level and the inlet must be below the coil drain. Conduit
fittings are not compatible with the plastic pump housing.
4. The pump should not be installed in a manner that will subject it to
splashing or spraying.
5. This pump is not intended for use inside air plenums.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Shut off electrical power at fuse box before making any connections. All
wiring must comply with local codes.
2. Line voltage: Connect power cord to line voltage specified on motor and
nameplate. Power cord must be connected to a constant source of power
(not a fan or other device that runs intermittently). If power cord does not
have a plug, wiring is as follows: green (or green/yellow)—ground. Black
(or brown)— line. White (or blue)—neutral.
3. Safety switch: The
safety overflow switch
should be connected
to a class II low volt-
age circuit. To control
a thermostatic circuit
the COM and NO
connections from the
safety switch are to be
wired in series with
the low voltage ther-
mostat circuit to shut
down the heating/AC
circuit. The COM and
NC switch contacts
may be used to actuate a low voltage alarm circuit (connected in series)
if the heating/cooling system can not be disrupted. The safety switch
comes from the factory with leads connected to the COM and NO switch
terminals. Typical hook-up of “NC” circuits would be (Figures 2 & 3).
4. If fused plug is used on 230V units, a 1.0 amp fuse is recommended.
PIPING
1. Run flexible tubing or pipe from evaporator drain into one of the three
pump inlets. Be sure inlet piping is sloped downward to allow gravity
flow (Figure 4). Extend the inlet piping into the tank from 1 to 3 inches to
ensure that it will not interfere with proper float operation. Be sure that
the inlet piping is cut at an angle where it enters the tank.

INTRODUCTION
The condensate pump kit is designed as an automatic condensate removal
pump for water dripping off an air conditioner evaporative coil. The pump is
controlled by a float/switch mechanism that turns the pump on when approxi-
mately 2-1/4” of water collects in the tank, and automatically switches off when
the tank drains to approximately 1-1/4”.
The pumps are carefully packaged, inspected and tested to insure safe
operation and delivery. When you receive your pump, examine it carefully to
determine that there are no broken or damaged parts that may have occurred
during shipment. If damage has occurred, make notation and notify Whis-
perKool. They will assist you in replacement or repair, if required.
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE
OR SERVICE THE LITTLE GIANT PUMP. KNOW THE PUMP APPLICATION, LIMITA-
TIONS AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OB-
SERVING ALL SAFETY INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH INSTRUCTIONS
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE! RETAIN
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
ARE TO BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED PERSON.
SAFETY GUIDELINE
DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASO-
LINE, FUEL OIL, KEROSENE, ETC. DO NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES.
PUMP SHOULD BE USED WITH LIQUIDS COMPATIBLE WITH PUMP COMPONENT
MATERIALS.
DO NOT HANDLE PUMP WITH WET HANDS OR WHEN STANDING ON A WET OR
DAMP SURFACE, OR IN WATER. THIS PUMP IS SUPPLIED WITH A GROUNDING
CONDUCTOR AND/OR GROUNDING TYPE ATTACHMENT PLUG. TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, BE CERTAIN THAT IT IS CONNECTED TO A PROP-
ERLY GROUNDED GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE.
IN ANY INSTALLATIONS WHERE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY MIGHT RESULT FROM AN INOPERATIVE OR
LEAKING PUMP DUE TO POWER OUTAGES, DISCHARGE LINE
BLOCKAGE, OR ANY OTHER REASON, A BACKUP SYSTEM(S) AND/OR ALARM
SHOULD BE USED.
SUPPORT PUMP AND PIPING WHEN ASSEMBLING AND WHEN INSTALLED. FAIL-
URE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE PIPING TO BREAK, PUMP TO FAIL, MOTOR BEARING
FAILURES, ETC.

INSTALLATION
1. Before installing pump,
allow air conditioner
to cycle several times,
collecting condensate in
a separate container to
help flush any residual
oils that may remain in
the system.
2. Carefully unpack the
pump. Remove the
cardboard packing from
the motor cover air
slots. Carefully slide the
packing away from the
pump. This packing is
used to prevent switch
movement during ship-
ment (Figure 1).
Remove cardboard
insert.
Connect here to turn alarm on.
Connect here to turn thermostat off.
NOTE: All wiring to be done by qualified service
technician. Refer to local codes in your area.
