Installation instructions
Features
- Silent running centrifugal pump with 1,5m power cord
- Ball bearing drive shaft
- Check valve to prevent back-flow of liquid into the unit
- Overflow safety alarm switch (only EE400
M
)
- Compact size
Application
The Eckerle condensate pumps EE400
M
and EE150 are designed to
automatically remove the liquid from an air-conditioner, evaporator
coil and/or an oil or gas condensing warm air boiler (
only
EE400
M
).
This pump is made from a tough ABS plastic body so it will resist
corrosion, impact and thermical influences.
(pH ≥ 3, max. 70C°).

Installation
1. Carefully unpack the unit Check for damage and make sure that
all of the required parts are included. The unit are thoroughly
tested before packing to insure safe delivery and operation. If
there is any sign of damage due to shipment, return it to the place
of purchase for repair or replacement.
2. Choose a mounting location near the air-conditioner or boiler. The
pump must be mounted level. And the inlet must be below the
lowest drain.
3. The pump should be mounted in a way that the cover (EE400
M
)
and/or the pump unit inside (EE150) can be removed easily for
cleaning purposes. The clearance above the pump should be min.
160 mm (EE400
M
) or 80 mm. (EE150)
Connecting the piping
1. Run flexible tubing or pipe from the condensate drain on the
evaporator pan and/or drain from boiler to the inlet hole on the
pump. This drain line should have a continuous downward slope to
allow gravity flow. Cut the end of the line at an angle so the end
does not close off on the bottom of the pump’s tank.
Note: If there’s an overflow drain from the evaporator pan or from
the boiler, it may be necessary to tee the overflow and the main
drain together before they enter the pump.
2. Connect the discharge line by hand- tighten the cap nut of the
check valve in a clockwise direction. A flexible tubing with a size of
8x2 mm will be suitable. Extend the discharge line straight up from
the pump to the highest point, run the discharge line to a drain with
a downward slope.
For best results, the drain should be below or approx. level with the
bottom of the pump tank. If it is not possible to slope the line the line
downward, make an inverted "U” trap at the highest point of the
discharge line above the pump. If the pumps are used in
combination with an external neutralisation box we strongly
recommend an additional filter at the pump’s intake port.
Note: Although not needed for these pumps, local regulations
may require the use of a condensate neutraliser when using this
pump with a condensate gas boiler. Consult local authorities for
guidelines.
Wiring
Shut off electrical power at the fuse box before making any wiring
connections. All wiring must be done according to local and/or
applicable national codes.
1. Main power: Both pump units are provided with a 1,5 m power cord.
Connect this cord to a constant line voltage source, not a fan or
other device that may run intermittently.
2. Overflow alarm switch: The pump type EE400
M
is equipped with an
overflow alarm switch (NO/NC) that has to be wired in any case.
Max. voltage 230 VAC/VDC, max switching current 8 A admissible
at resistive load.
Testing
1. With the unit plugged in and the discharge line in place, pour water
into the pump reservoir until the unit activates to verify the unit
works properly.
2. To test the overflow alarm circuit (only EE400
M
)
a) Energise the appliance so it is steady.
b) Kink the tube coming from the pump discharge so it cannot pump
out.
c) Pour water into the pump reservoir, filling it completely.
d) As the water level nears the top of the unit the overflow alarm
switch should activate.
e) Un-kink the tube and allow the pump to empty the tank. As the
water level goes down the overflow safety switch will deactivate and
the appliance will energise again (or the alarm will reset).
