- ■Store the atomiser in a stable position without placing loads on the housing or connections. Store the accessories with the device.
- ■Avoid locations exposed to frost, flooding, dust and chemicals.
- ■For extended periods out of use, fit plugs to the inlet and outlet to protect them from dust and dirt.
A device installed outdoors can remain in place during winter, but remove water from the tank and hoses before freezing conditions occur. Check the mounting and ensure that cables, hoses and connections are protected against damage. Before using the device again, check that the hoses are clear, the nozzles are in good condition and the probes operate correctly.
Application
Use the atomiser where conventional condensate drainage into the sewer, a drain or outside the building is difficult or undesirable.
Level sensor probes detect the water level in the tank. P08J operates with a tank inside the device. P15J can operate with an internal or external tank, depending on the installation location.
Installation
Condensate must flow into the P08J atomiser by gravity - route the pipe with a downward slope. For P15J, also route the air conditioner's drain pipe with a downward slope to the internal or external tank.
Positioning and mounting the device
- 01Choose a location that allows condensate to flow into the tank and water to be sprayed. Outdoors, install the atomiser below the air conditioner's outdoor unit, in a location protected against mechanical damage.
- 02Secure the mounting plate with screws and wall plugs. For P08J, drill Ø6 mm holes; for P15J, use the M4 × 20 self-tapping screws shown in figure 6.
- 03When using the internal tank, check that the probes are positioned to the right of the tank filter and that the filter and tank cover are correctly seated. Connect the air vent.
- 04Hang the device on the plate, click it into place and check that it is secure. Level the body using the built-in spirit level.
- 05When using the internal tank, connect the air conditioner's drain pipe to the inlet connection (figure 2, item 4). Connect the Ø8 mm outlet hose to the atomiser's quick-release coupling (figure 1, item 2). Check the connections for leaks.
P15J - installing the tank outside the device
- 01Remove the front housing. Connect the rubber sleeve, condensate hose connector and suction hose as shown in figure 10.
- 02Feed the suction hose and signal cable into the body. Secure them with a cable tie at the point shown in figure 11.
- 03Plug the overflow opening indicated in figure 12.
- 04Connect the air conditioner's drain pipe to the external tank (figure 13). Level the tank and connect the air vent.
- 05Check the connections for leaks and check the routing of the hoses and cables, then refit the front housing.
Installing the nozzles
- 01Choose a location on the outdoor unit for mounting the nozzles.
- 02For P15J and P08J with a metal support bar, secure the support bar with clips, then fit both nozzles into the clips (figures 15 and 16). For P08J without a metal support bar, secure the nozzles in the chosen location.
- 03Connect the outlet hose to the T-fitting or Y-fitting supplied with the kit and connect the nozzles. Set the spray direction.
- 04Check all connections. The hoses must not be kinked, crushed or blocked, and their routing must not restrict the flow.
Connection
Only interrupt the S signal cable between the indoor and outdoor units (figure 18) and supply power to the atomiser from the outdoor unit if the air conditioner's manual permits it.
- 01Connect L - the brown wire - to the live conductor and N - the blue wire - to the neutral conductor.
- 02Connect the NC signal cable (normally closed circuit) to the air conditioner's condensate level protection circuit in accordance with its documentation. The alarm circuit must stop the air conditioner if there is a problem with condensate drainage. The atomiser must remain powered so that it can continue to remove water.
- 03Check the connections before switching on the power supply.
Operation
Test after installation
- 01Switch on the power supply and check that the power indicator (yellow) is lit.
- 02Pour water into the tank until the pump starts.
- 03Check that both nozzles spray. The device should operate steadily, without leaks, excessive vibration or unusual noises.
- 04Check that the pump stops automatically when the water level drops, and check again that the tank, hoses, cables and nozzles are secure.
Automatic operation and indicators
| Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Power indicator (yellow) | The power supply is on. |
| Operating indicator (green) | The pump is running after the start level has been reached. |
| Alarm indicator (red) and audible alarm | The water has reached the alarm level; the buzzer sounds for 3 min. |
The pump stops automatically when the water level drops.
When the signal circuit is connected, the alarm stops the air conditioner. Once normal operation is restored, the alarm indicator goes out and the air conditioner can operate again.
If the alarm persists or the device operates incorrectly, carry out the checks in the ‘TROUBLESHOOTING’ section.
Maintenance
General recommendations
Clean the tank and filter every 3 months, or more often if the device is exposed to greater amounts of dirt. Also inspect the hoses, cables, connectors, probes and nozzles.
Do not use solvents, corrosive agents, alcohol, petrol or sharp tools. Do not change the position of the probes or damage their connections.
Maintenance procedure
- 01Check that the hoses, connectors, tee fitting and nozzles are clear. Remove any kinks and blockages.
- 02Clean deposits from the tank and probe surfaces.
- 03Remove and clean the tank filter, then refit it in the correct position.
- 04Remove and clean the nozzle filter. Check that both nozzles are clear and refit the filters.
- 05Check that the tank, hoses, cables and connections are securely fitted.
- 06Perform the test according to steps 1–4 in the ‘Test after installation’ section.
