PTC Condensate Pan Assemblies
Note: The amp draw on a PTC heater is not a constant resistance or amp draw
like that of a cal-rod heater. Most pans have at least 2 heaters so you can
compare their amp draws. If they are both close in amp draw, they are likely not
the problem unless neither is drawing any load with the proper voltage applied.
Caution! Hot Gas Loop Condensate Pans with PTC Heater assist may
contain
Wicking material that needs to be changed as necessary due to the growth of
mold and microbial organisms and will fail to efficiently evaporate the water.
Also check the condensate pan float and PTC Heater for proper operation. If the
float is not floating, clean the pan and float of debris to see if it will float, if not,
replace the condensate pan float assembly and / or heater accordingly.
If equipped, check that condensate pan or pump is properly plugged in or
hardwired to power
.
If the pump is running, but cannot evacuate to water, clean
the condensate pump impeller, drain tube and discharge tubing or replace pump
assembly as required.
Note: Owner Responsibility
Pump and deck may be removed from tank by pushing tabs located on tank sides
away from the deck while lifting on pump cover.
Periodically inspect the condensate pump tank to assure it is free of accumulated
dirt or sludge.
DO NOT
use solvent cleaners. Clean tank with soap and warm
water only. Check valve may be removed for cleaning or replacement by
unscrewing with a 9/16” wrench. Clean Inlet and outlet piping. Reassemble
system and check for
correct operation.
