Model 5400A COLLECTa n DRAIN™ Owner’s Manual

Model 5400A COLLECTa n DRAIN

™

The Model 5400A COLLECTa n DRAIN™ is a heated and insulated condensate collector and auxiliary drain with water level alarm for dry pipe sprinkler systems. The M5400A is designed for installation in climates where freezing or below freezing temperatures are present and result in the failure of typical collectors. The M5400A maintains a comfortable temperature above freezing while minimizing power consumption.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking:

Unpack the M5400A COLLECT1. a n DRAIN™ unit and carefully inspect for any damages from shipping.

Verify box contents:2.

M5400A COLLECT• a n DRAIN™ unit Four (4) Rubber Mounting Washers• Two (2) Door Keys• Electrical Wiring Schematic• M5400A System Drawing•

Sprinkler System Preparation:

If installing in a new system, proceed to Mounting Instructions below, otherwise continue with Preparation Instructions.

If adding additional installations, see NFPA 13 Chapters 24 and 26, and NFPA 25 Chapter 14.

Isolate the zone where the COLLECT1. a n DRAIN™ will be installed.

Relieve air pressure from the branch line.2.

Remove the existing auxiliary drain.3.

Mounting:

Use the four mounting tabs (3/8” holes x 4) to install the M5400A to a wall or other secure structure.

Place the rubber washers behind the mounting 1. tabs to hold the M5400A off of the wall. Select fasteners suitable for attachment and capable of supporting the 50 lb. weight of the M5400A.

Connect to the 1” NPT Supply Pipe in accor-2. dance with NFPA 13 (8.16.2.5 and 8.16.2.5.3) in regards to low-point drain installations.

Conﬁrm that the Supply Valve (upper valve) is in 3. the open position (vertical) and ready to collect condensation, the Drain Valve (lower valve) is in the closed position (horizontal), and the pipe cap is tight.

Wiring:

The M5400A requires 120VAC power source to function.

Run conduit to the ½” connection on the top of the unit.1.

Open the door using the supplied keys.2.

Loosen the four screws on the front of the M5400A Alarm Panel Box and 3. carefully remove the door.

Run appropriately sized power wires into the Alarm Panel 4. (Refer to the electrical schematic as necessary).

Connect the 120VAC Hot Wire to the circuit breaker.5.

Connect the 120VAC Neutral Wire to one of the three neutral terminals.6.

Connect the ground wire to the green ground terminal.7.

The M5400A can be connected to a Remote Panel. This is accomplished through a set of N.O. (close on alarm) auxiliary contacts.

Run two additional wires into the M5400A Alarm Panel.1.

Connect one wire to the AC1 (auxiliary contact) Terminal.2.

Connect the other wire to the AC2 (auxiliary contact) Terminal.3.

Connect these wires to the appropriate place in the Remote Panel.4.

Model 5400A COLLECTa n DRAIN™ Owner’s Manual

Verify Correct Operation:

Apply power to the M5400A and verify that correct voltage is present.1.

Turn on the circuit breaker inside of the M5400A alarm panel.2.

Push and Hold the “TEST” button on the front of the alarm panel for ﬁve 3. seconds to verify that the alarm horn sounds and the alarm light pulses.

Turn the red Thermostat Set-Point Dial clockwise until the heater turns on.4.

Reset the red Thermostat Set-Point Dial to the factory default of 50º F.5.

NOTE: It is the owner’s responsibility to set the thermostat based upon the climate conditions of the installed location. The default setting of 50º F is adequate for outside temperatures down to 0º F. If operating below this temperature, the set-point should be increased. Consult AGF for set-point guidelines.

Install the M5400A Alarm Panel Cover and tighten 6. the four screws securely.

Close and lock the door using the supplied keys.7.

NOTE: If installation was to an existing system, return the system back to normal operating conditions. If installation was to a new system, activate system for normal operating conditions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The M5400A is equipped with a 150W heater controlled by a user-set thermostat. The factory default setting of 50º F is suitable for conditions down to 0º F. Consult with AGF for recommended settings if operating the M5400A in areas below 0º F. The thermostat controls the heater operation to within approximately ± 10º F of the set-point (i.e. Set-Point=50º F: ON @ 40º F—OFF @ 60º F).

NOTE: AGF does not recommend setting the thermostat below 50º F.

Power Consumption of the M5400A is based on a number of factors including ambient temperature, humidity, installation location and exposure to sunlight. The following graph shows an estimation of the daily energy consumption verses ambient temperature when the set-point is 50º F.

temperature inside the unit. This thermometer is for checking the operating status of the heater.

The M5400A also features a Float-Style Level Switch for monitoring the collected condensate. This switch is tied back to the integrated NEMA 4 Alarm Panel. When enough condensate has accumulated, the Level Switch is activated triggering the alarm horn to sound and pulse the red light mounted on the M5400A alarm panel. The alarm horn and light indicates that the M5400A needs to be emptied. An auxiliary contact is also triggered and is capable of being wired back to a central control panel for remote indication. The Level Alarm is automatically reset when the water level is drained below the switch.

The M5400A is equipped with a “TEST” button to conﬁrm that the water alarm panel is functioning properly. When pressed, the Test Button causes the local alarm horn and light as well as the remote indication to be triggered.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Maintenance is the cornerstone to keeping any system operating correctly and efﬁciently. It is the building owner’s responsibility to ensure that the M5400A has been drained of condensation and that the heater and alarm are working properly. Failure to drain condensation from the system, or conduct regularly scheduled testing and maintenance could result in system failure due to freezing. System must be maintained per NFPA 25 4.6, 4.6A, and 4.1.

It is especially important that functional testing of the heater be performed before the start of the winter season or when temperatures begin to approach freezing conditions.

Verify alarm operation:

Push and Hold the “TEST” button on the Alarm Panel for ﬁve seconds to 1. verify that the alarm horn sounds and the alarm light pulses.

Verify heater operation:

CAUTION: Always take the necessary precautions when entering the alarm panel

when 120V power is present.

Loosen the four screws on the front of the 1. M5400A Alarm Panel Box and carefully remove the door.

Take note of the current thermostat set-point. 2.

Thermostat Set-Point: __________________

Turn the red Thermostat Set-Point dial clockwise 3. until the heater turns on.

Reset the red Thermostat Set-Point dial to the 4. previous setting.

Install the M5400A Alarm Panel Cover and tighten the four screws securely.5.
