Rectorseal AquaGuard 1200+ Magnetisk Flydeafbryder Brugsanvisning

1. Introduktion

The Rectorseal AquaGuard 1200+ (Model 96106) is a magnetic float switch designed to prevent property damage caused by condensate overflow in HVAC systems. This device detects rising water levels in secondary drain pans, interrupting the HVAC unit's operation to prevent leaks and potential water damage. It is suitable for both residential and commercial applications.

2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger

• Always disconnect power to the HVAC unit before installation or servicing.
• Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.
• Sørg for, at alle ledningsforbindelser er sikre og korrekt isolerede.
• Do not bypass safety features of the HVAC system.
• Keep the device clear of obstructions that could impede float movement.

3. Pakkens indhold

• 1 x Rectorseal AquaGuard 1200+ Magnetic Float Switch (Model 96106)

4. Specifikationer

5. Opsætning og installation

The AquaGuard 1200+ is designed for easy, drill-free installation in both metal and plastic secondary drain pans. It functions by detecting rising water levels and interrupting the low-voltage control circuit of the HVAC system.

Installationstrin:

1. Strømafbrydelse: Ensure the power to the HVAC unit is completely disconnected at the breaker.
2. Valg af sted: Identify a suitable location on the secondary drain pan where the switch can be securely mounted and the float can move freely. The switch should be positioned to detect water before it overflows the pan.
3. Montering: The AquaGuard 1200+ features a magnetic base for attachment to metal pans or can be secured to plastic pans using appropriate fasteners (not included). Ensure the switch is level.
4. Ledningsføring: Integrate the switch into the low-voltage (24V AC) control circuit of the HVAC system. Typically, the switch is wired in series with the thermostat's 'R' (power) and 'Y' (cooling) or 'G' (fan) terminals, or directly into the furnace/air handler control board, to interrupt operation when water is detected. Consult your HVAC unit's wiring diagram for specific connection points.
5. Test: After installation, restore power and perform a functional test by manually lifting the float pin test knob to simulate a high water level. The HVAC unit should cease operation.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

The AquaGuard 1200+ operates automatically. When water accumulates in the secondary drain pan to a level that lifts the internal float, the magnetic switch activates, opening the electrical circuit and shutting down the HVAC system. This prevents further condensate production and potential overflow.

Test af switch:

To verify proper operation, locate the lift float pin test knob on the device. Gently lift this knob to raise the internal float. The HVAC unit should immediately shut down. Release the knob, and the unit should resume normal operation (assuming no actual water is present).

7. Vedligeholdelse

• Årlig inspektion: It is recommended to inspect the AquaGuard 1200+ annually, preferably during routine HVAC system maintenance.
• Renhed: Ensure the drain pan and the area around the float switch are free of debris, sludge, or anything that could obstruct the float's movement.
• Funktionstjek: Periodically test the switch using the lift float pin test knob as described in the Operating Instructions section.

8. Fejlfinding

• HVAC Unit Not Shutting Down:
  • Check wiring connections for looseness or corrosion.
  • Ensure the float is not obstructed and can move freely.
  • Verify the switch is correctly wired into the low-voltage styrekredsløb.
  • Test the switch manually using the test knob. If it still fails, the switch may need replacement.
• False Alarms (HVAC Unit Shuts Down Without Water):
  • Check if the switch is level. An unlevel installation can cause premature activation.
  • Inspect for any external factors pushing the float up.
  • Ensure wiring is not shorted or damaged.
• Water Overflow Despite Switch:
  • Verify the switch is installed at an appropriate height to detect water before overflow.
  • Check for blockages in the primary drain line, which could cause rapid overflow before the secondary pan fills sufficiently.
  • Ensure the switch is functioning correctly by performing a manual test.

Hvis fejlfindingstrinene ikke løser problemet, skal du kontakte en kvalificeret HVAC-tekniker.
