Mini White Best Practices

1. Aspen Mini White installation This pump is designed to be mounted directly below the mini-split

indoor Hi Wall unit to either the left or right side of the unit.

a. Installing the Pump Body

I. Turn off the power to the indoor unit before installing the Aspen Mini White.

II. With the pump cover removed, hold the pump base in the desired location adjacent to the bottom of

the AC unit to either the far left or far right side.

III. Be sure to line up the “knock out panel” on the bottom of the AC cover with the openings on the top of

the Mini White.

IV. The outside edge of the pump housing should be relatively ush with the outside edge of the AC unit.

V. Once you have chosen the desired location and conrmed the alignment, secure the pump base to

the wall using the supplied screws and mollys *DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN - The base unit mounting holes

include rubber dampers that should be snug but not compressed against the wall!

VI. Remove the AC unit’s cover and remove the appropriate knock out panel on the AC unit cover. Removing

the knock out panel allows for the following items to be connected between the pump and the AC unit:

1. OEM Drain line 2. Discharge Tubing 3. Pump Wiring Harness

VII. Position the OEM drain tube with enough slack that it may reach the pump’s reservoir inlet.

VIII. Run your (eld supplied) ¼" id discharge tubing to the appropriate discharge location, leaving enough

tubing to connect to the pump (see “Siphoning” below regarding the installation of the Anti-Siphon

Device).

INTRODUCTION

The following Best Practices are intended to help educate the licensed contractor of Ductless & VRV/VRF

equipment about the proper installation, use and maintenance of Aspen mini pumps. These Best Practices

were created to arm the installing contractor with technical awareness, set better expectations, create

general understanding and drastically reduce installation errors and frustration.

The most commonly asked questions are related to noise, wiring and premature failure. By following these

step-by-step procedures, you can condently perform great Aspen Mini Pump installations and reduce

potential failures.

NOTE: The following Best Practices are intended as a general guide for “typical” installations. Your

installation may vary. Always follow the AC unit & pump manufacturers’ printed recommendations.

IX. Route the wiring harness of the pump to the terminal block inside the indoor AC unit (see wiring instructions below). X. If not already installed, install the cylindrical filter and attach the clear reservoir to the pump base. XI. Once the knock out panel is removed and the three items above are installed and secure and it’s safe to do so, restore power to the indoor unit. XII.

III. Visually inspect the pump for any sings of tampering or malfunction and ensure it is securely installed. IV. Inspect the anti-siphon device to ensure it is installed and is secure. V. Inspect the termination point of the discharge tubing to ensure it is secure in discharging the condensate to the appropriate location. VI. Do not run any coil (or other) cleaning products through Aspen pumps or reservoirs. Disconnect the reservoir prior to cleaning coils. b.
