Commissioning

• The Draindane is programmed to beep when it is full and needs to be emptied. This is done by the bowl flashing red and a beep every half hour.
• Emptying is done by holding a bowl under the lid of the Draindane. The small part of the lid is then tilted down and the water runs into the bowl
• When the water stops running, the lid is pressed back into place (so that it lies completely level with the rest of the lid) and the alarm stops beeping and flashing.
  When Draindane is ready for removal, the diode flashes green and there are two short beeps at 6 hour intervals. This alarm can be deactivated by pressing the small white button in the lid for approx. 3 seconds. 2 short beeps indicate proper deactivation. If Draindane is not turned down from the ceiling within 7 days, the alarm will sound again.
• Never use a defective Draindane. If there is damage to your Draindane, such as visible cracks in the bowl, the Draindane must be discarded.
• Immediately after installation (the first 7 days), Draindane must not be left unattended for more than 1 day. After the first period, Draindane must not be left unattended for more than 2 days. In case of absence as just described, you must tilt the small lid down and place a bucket on the floor under the Draindane. If this procedure is not followed there is a risk of water damage

 

Setup guide

Before setup

(The following applies specifically to concrete buildings)

• You will need an 8 mm masonry drill bit. If Draindane is installed directly in a concrete element. Always use drill bits and rawl plugs that match the material in which the Draindane is to be installed.
• A minimum of 50 mm is drilled into the ceiling
• The hole should be approx. 8-9 cm from the drain hole. Drilling is done between the ducts (pay attention to the direction of the ducts).

Collection and maintenance of Draindane

1. Print card 1 is placed in the bowl, it is important that the card is printed all the way to the bottom.
2. The two AAA batteries are placed in the battery holder on circuit board 2. The diode flashes green when correctly inserted.
3. Take the screw through the hole from inside the cone. The rubber poking is then pushed down over the thread of the screw all the way down to the cone. The rubber seal MUST sit between the ceiling and the bowl, i.e. NOT inside the cone. In addition to sealing, the rubber gasket helps to hold the screw during installation.
4. The bowl is then screwed up into the ceiling. Important! The bowl MUST be screwed all the way up to the ceiling to ensure tightness.
5. Printed circuit board 2 is pressed firmly into the lid. Button and diode must fit in the two holes in the lid. The printed circuit board MUST be pressed all the way down.
6. The lid with printed circuit board 2 is pushed up into place in the bowl and pressed in with several clicks until it is level with the bowl. For easier assembly, a line marking has been made on the bowl that must be aligned with the line marking on the lid. If installed correctly, two short beeps follow.
7. The draining lid must also be pressed all the way up so that it lies level with the rest of the lid and the bowl. Incorrect installation can be associated with the risk of the bowl leaking and causing water damage.

Please note! The drain lid must make two clicks and must be pressed all the way in so that it lies flush with the rest of the lid and the bowl. Incorrect installation can be associated with the risk of the bowl leaking and causing water damage.

It is important that you carefully follow all the steps in this user manual, as an improperly installed or improperly operated Draindane can potentially cause water damage.
