Water Drainage Methods; Condensation Handling - Friedrich ZoneAire P09A Installation And Operation Manual

Condensation Handling

Your ZoneAire Portable Air Conditioner is designed to evapo-
®
rate the condensation removed from the interior space through
the exhaust hose. Under certain conditions it is possible that
the unit will not evaporate 100% of the removed moisture.
The unit is designed with a built-in reservoir to accumulate
excess condensate and help dispose of it.
Internal Water Level
1. Under any mode if the water level is in the "low" area the
unit will function normally.
2. If the water level is in the "normal" area the unit will con-
tinue to function normally while internally evaporating the
condensate.
3. If the unit cannot evaporate all of the condensate internally,
the tank may become full. If the tank becomes full, the unit
will turn off, and the Water Full light will illuminate.
Drain Valve
Draining Water
The water can be drained from the unit by removing the base
stopper and letting the water drain by gravity.
1. When the WATER FULL lamp is on unplug the unit and move
the unit to a suitable location for draining the condensation.
2. Using the gravity drain method, ensure that the base stop-
per is located above a suitable area for draining the conden-
sate and remove the stopper. Re-install the stopper once all
water has drained.
3. Return the unit to the original location and restore power
and duct connections.
4. The WATER FULL indicator should be off and the unit will
return to normal operating mode.
Permanent Drainage
For permanent and continuous drainage, a 1/2" hose may be
attached to the unit and led down a drain.
