1 Notes on the documentation
The following information is intended to help you throughout the entire documentation.
Further documents apply in combination with these operating, installation and maintenance instructions.
We accept no liability for any damage caused by failure
to observe these instructions.
Other applicable documents
When installing the condensed water pump, you must
observe all the installation instructions for the assemblies
and components of the system. These instructions are
enclosed with the various system parts and supplementary
components.
1.1 Attaching and storing documents
Please pass these operating, installation and maintenance
instructions on to the system operator, who is responsible
for storing the instructions so that they are available whenever required.
1.2 Applicability of the instructions
These installation and maintenance instructions apply
exclusively to units with the following article number:
– 0020030797
The article number of the unit can be found on the identification plate.
1.3 CE label
CE labelling shows that the ecoLEVEL condensed water
pump complies with the basic requirements of the following
applicable directives as stated on the identification plate:
> Permissible voltages (Directive EN 60 335-1 and
EN 60 335-2-41)
> Electromagnetic compatibility (Directive EN 55 014-1 and
EN 55 014-2)
1.4 Identification plate
The identification plate with the serial number, the protection rating classification, the supply voltage, the frequency,
and the CE label is situated on the underside of the

2.1 Intended use
The Vaillant condensed water pump is constructed using
state-of-the-art technology in accordance with the recognised safety rules and regulations. Nevertheless, there is
still a risk of injury or death to the user or others or of
damage to the unit and other property in the event of
improper use or use for which it is not intended.
The ecoLEVEL condensed water pump is intended for use
only in conjunction with Vaillant system components in
which the condensed water is produced as a by-product of
operation. This includes all Vaillant condensing boilers.
The ecoLEVEL condensed water pump is only approved for
individual units up to 45 kW. The pump and all of its components are designed for delivering condensed water from
heating installations. The introduction of rainwater into the
system as a result of the flue gas system is taken into
account in terms of the permitted volume, the composition,
and also the content of solids in the condensate.
This unit is not designed to be used by persons (including
children) with limited physical, mental or sensory capabilities or by persons who do not have enough experience and/
or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who
is responsible for their safety or have been instructed by
him/her about how to use the unit.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the unit.
Risk of material or environmental damage
ecoLEVEL installation and maintenance instructions 0020029316_01 3
Safety information and regulations
2
The condensed water pump is not suitable for the pumping
of other fluids or solid media. In particular, waste water of
all types, chemicals and emulsions that contain oil must not
be fed into the condensed water pump. Using the condensed water pump in vehicles is regarded as improper use.
Units that are not classed as vehicles are those that are
installed in a fixed and permanent location (known as "fixed
installation").
Any other use, or use beyond that specified, shall be considered improper use. Any direct commercial or industrial
use is also deemed to be improper. The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for any claims or damage resulting from
improper use. The user alone bears the risk.
Intended use includes observance of the operating and
installation and maintenance instructions and all other
applicable documents, as well as adherence to the maintenance and inspection conditions.
Caution.
Improper use of any kind is prohibited.
2.2 General safety information
Working on the ecoLEVEL condensed water pump
The ecoLEVEL condensed water pump must only be
installed and started up by a competent person. The existing regulations, rules and guidelines must be observed
when doing so. Inspection/maintenance and repairs must
also be carried out by this skilled tradesman.
Only competent persons who have acquainted themselves
with all the safety information provided in these installation
instructions, and the fitting, operating and maintenance
instructions, may work on this unit.
Risk of electric shock when opening the unit and
carrying out maintenance work.
When operating this unit, certain components must inevitably be under dangerous voltages which can lead to severe
bodily injury or to death.
> Ensure that the unit is only opened by a company oper-
ating a recognised competent persons scheme.
> Only open the bottom cover plate if all electrical connec-
tions to the pump have been isolated.
> Before carrying out any visual inspections and mainte-
nance work, ensure that the power supply is switched off
and secured against being switched back on again.
Risk of electric shock when the unit is switched on.
When operating this unit, certain components must inevitably be under dangerous voltages which can lead to severe
bodily injury or to death.
> If measurements need to be made with the power supply
switched on, never touch the electrical connections.
> Remove all jewellery from wrists and fingers.
> Make sure that the test equipment is in a good, safe
operating condition.
> When working on the unit when it is switched on, ensure
that it is standing on an insulated base, in other words
make sure that there is no earth connection.
Risk of burns and explosion when unsuitable
liquids are used.
Pumping out flammable and explosive liquids such as petrol, heating oil, etc., poses a risk of burns and explosions.
> Do not use the pump to pump out flammable or explo-
sive liquids.
Risk of explosions in explosive atmospheres.
Operating the pump in explosive atmospheres could trigger
an explosion.
> Do not use the pump in an explosive atmosphere.
Risk of injury due to condensate.
The condensate pumped by the pump poses a risk to the
eyes if they come into contact with it.
> Avoid any contact of the condensed water with the eyes.
> Make sure that the ecoLEVEL condensed water pump is
only operated out of the reach of children.
> In case of eye contact with the condensate, rinse the
eyes thoroughly with clean water and seek medical
advice.
Danger of poisoning by flue gas leaks.
If you connect the condensate drain hose of the pump with
the waste water piping, the internal siphon of the boiler
may be completely emptied.
> Do not connect the water condensate hose of the pump
with a sealed connection to the waste water piping ('free
outlet').
Malfunctions and material damage due to
instability.
If the pump is not in a stable position during operation, this
can lead to malfunctions of the pump. This may result in
damage to the pump or boiler.
> During operation, ensure that the pump has a stable
base or is attached to the wall.
Risk of damage due to improper modifications.
Modifications to the ecoLEVEL condensed water pump may
damage the unit and are therefore generally prohibited.
> Under no circumstances should you ever attempt to make
alterations to the pump or other parts of the system.
> Consult an approved heating specialist company to make
such alterations.
Material damage caused by leaking condensed
water
In the event of a defect in the condensed water pump, leaking condensed water may cause material damage or damage to the boiler.
> Connect a current interrupter or an alarm to the safety
cut-out switch.
4 ecoLEVEL installation and maintenance instructions 0020029316_01
Material damage caused by unsuitable discharge
pipes
If you use discharge pipes that are not acid-resistant, this
can lead to leaks and damage caused by leaking condensed
water.
> If you need to extend the condensed water discharge
pipe during installation, use only acid-resistant discharge
pipes.
Earthing, conductor dimensioning, short-circuit
protection
> The pump connection has a protective connection. Make
sure that the power supply is earthed in accordance with
legal requirements.
