4. Орнотуу жана орнотуу
4.1 Насосту орнотуу
The pump features stainless steel multi-slot mounting tabs for secure installation. Ensure the pump is placed on a level surface. Use the integrated bullseye level on the lid to confirm proper horizontal alignment.

4.2 Condensate Inlet Connections
The pump is equipped with four 1-1/8-inch diameter inlet holes for connecting condensate drain lines from your HVAC equipment. Connect the drain line(s) to any available inlet(s).
4.3 Discharge Line Connection
Connect a 3/8" I.D. vinyl tubing (not included) to the 3/8" O.D. barbed check valve. The check valve twists to lock into place on the pump, preventing backflow of discharged water. Route the discharge line to an appropriate drain, ensuring it has a continuous downward slope and is free from kinks or obstructions. The pump can lift water up to 17 feet vertically.
4.4 Электрдик туташуу
Plug the 6-ft grounded power cord into a standard 115V electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded and protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) if required by local codes.
4.5 Safety Switch Wiring
The integrated safety switch is designed to shut down the HVAC equipment or trigger an alarm in case of a pump malfunction or high water level, preventing overflow. Consult your HVAC equipment manual for proper wiring of the safety switch. Typically, the safety switch wires are connected in series with the low-voltage thermostat circuit of the HVAC unit.
5. Операция
5.1 Automatic On/Off Operation
The Beckett BK171UL pump operates automatically. When condensate water in the collection tank reaches a predetermined level, the pump will activate, remove the water, and then shut off once the water level drops. This automatic cycle ensures efficient condensate removal without constant monitoring.

5.2 Lift-to-Test Function
A "lift-to-test" tab is provided on the pump lid. Lifting this tab manually raises the float, simulating a high water level and activating the pump. This feature allows for quick testing of the pump's functionality and can also be used to drain the tank for servicing.
6. Техникалык тейлөө
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your condensate pump.
- Ай сайын текшерүү: Visually inspect the pump, inlet, and discharge lines for any blockages, leaks, or damage. Ensure the discharge line is free of kinks.
- Квартал сайын тазалоо:
- Disconnect power to the pump and the HVAC unit.
- Use the lift-to-test tab to drain the tank, or manually remove any remaining water.
- Carefully remove the pump cover.
- Clean the collection tank, floats, and impeller area to remove any sludge, debris, or mineral deposits. A mild detergent and soft brush can be used.
- Бардык компоненттерди таза суу менен жакшылап чайкаңыз.
- Reassemble the pump, ensuring the cover is securely in place.
- Reconnect power and test the pump using the lift-to-test tab.
