Page 6: General Description
General Description DO NOT use this product outside the recommended operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges. Improper use may result in CAUTION such hazards as damage to the product or malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted. -
Page 7: Operation
Operation Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from CAUTION the discharge of fluids. (1) When condensate flows from the condensate inlet pipe through the inlet check valve into the body of the unit, the air in the body escapes through the exhaust valve (which equalizes the internal pump pressure to the pressure of the condensate source) and the float rises, as shown in (1) below. -

Page 10: Closed System Piping
NOTE: In closed system applications, the motive medium must be compatible with the liquid being pumped. If a non-condensable gas such as air or nitrogen is used as the motive medium, please consult TLV for assistance.
