Introducció
This user manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of your SFA Sanicondens Clim mini S condensate pump. Please read these instructions carefully before installation and keep them for future reference. This pump is designed to remove condensate from air conditioning units with a capacity of up to 8 kW (27,000 BTU).
Informació de seguretat
- Desconnecteu sempre l'alimentació abans de realitzar qualsevol treball d'instal·lació, manteniment o reparació.
- Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical and plumbing codes.
- Do not operate the pump if it is damaged or if any electrical components are exposed.
- Ensure the pump is installed in a location where it is protected from freezing temperatures.
- This pump is designed for condensate removal from air conditioning units only. Do not use it for other liquids or applications.
Configuració i instal·lació
The SFA Sanicondens Clim mini S pump is designed for discreet installation, typically within the air conditioning unit or a nearby conduit. Follow these steps for proper setup:
1. Desembalatge i inspecció
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the pump and accessories for any signs of damage. Do not install if damaged.

2. Component Identification and Dimensions
Familiarize yourself with the pump components and their dimensions to ensure proper fit and installation space.
Figura 2: Technical drawing showing the dimensions of the pump and reservoir unit in millimeters.
3. Col·locació i connexió
The pump consists of two main parts: the detection unit (reservoir) and the pump unit. The detection unit should be placed to collect condensate directly from the air conditioning unit's drain pan. The pump unit can be installed remotely, connected to the detection unit via a small tube and electrical cable.

- Connect the condensate drain hose from the air conditioning unit to the inlet of the detection unit.
- Connect the small tube and electrical cable from the detection unit to the pump unit.
- Attach the discharge pipe to the pump unit's outlet. Ensure a check valve is installed to prevent backflow.
- Route the discharge pipe to a suitable drain point, ensuring it has a continuous downward slope after reaching its maximum lift height. The pump can lift water up to 78.74 inches (approximately 2 meters).
- Connect the pump to a 230 Volt electrical supply.

Instruccions de funcionament
The SFA Sanicondens Clim mini S condensate pump operates automatically. Once properly installed and connected to power, it will activate when the condensate level in the detection unit reaches a predetermined level, pumping the water away. It will then switch off once the level drops.
- Ensure the air conditioning unit is producing condensate for the pump to operate.
- Listen for the pump's operation. It is designed to be quiet (21 dB).
- El cabal màxim és de 9 litres per hora.

Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your condensate pump.
- Neteja anual: At least once a year, clean the filter screen in the detection unit to prevent blockages.
- Inspecció: Periodically check all connections for leaks and ensure the discharge pipe is free from kinks or obstructions.
- Desconnexió d'alimentació: Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before performing any cleaning or inspection.
