CONDITION
Water On The Floor
Caution!
Water on flooring can not only cause damage, but can also
create a slip hazard. Until properly diagnosed and repaired, be sure to
follow these procedures:
•
Use of a wet-dry shop vacuum is recommended to remove excess water from both
the floor and condensate pan as well as the interior of the unit’s base.
•
Water in the condensate pan may be extremely hot if the pan is working properly and cannot keep
up.
Personal Protection Equipment such as gloves and long
sleeves must be used when emptying the condensate pan to avoid injury.
Caution!
During a power failure, the condensate pan may overflow and
cause damage
and a slip hazard! Restore power as soon as possible. Until such time that
power is restored, follow the steps above.
Open Air Display Cases
are subject to air disturbance and due to direct
sunlight and close proximity of heating ducts, grills, radiators, ceiling fans
or main doors. Also avoid locations where the unit is subject to high
humidity such as near cases
with water misting or fogging devices.
Check Ambient Conditions of the Location
Most of our cases require a maximum ambient of 75°Farenheit / 55% RH
(Relative Humidity) Exceeding either or both can result in the condensate
pan overflowing.
Check that the drain trap assembly did not become dislodged during
shipment or installation and that it is correctly positioned over condensate
pan, pump, or floor drain.
Check that the drain trap is free of debris such as algae, food product and
packaging.
Check that condensate pan or pump is properly plugged in or hardwired
to power.
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.
