unit will turn off completely. Condensation drain must be serviced if this
occurs.

(To ensure proper performance of product, instructions must be followed.)
- Disconnect power to unit at main panel. Disconnect power to the low voltage thermostat circuit.
- Slide the float switch onto the side of the pan.

Ensure the power is disconnected to the unit at the main panel prior to moving to step 2.
Refer to the appliance manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions and also review wire layout in their instructions. -
Locate the red wire coming from the 24 volt thermostat “R” terminal.

Disconnect or cut red wire. Connect the non-ribbed wire of the switch, using a wire nut, to the thermostat side of the circuit. Connect the ribbed wire of the switch, using a wire nut, to the air handler side of the circuit or to terminal in unit. Incorporating both switch wires in the red circuit will shut the unit completely off.
-
Test the switch. (At start-up check initial amperage load.)
