The Electrically Activated Drip Trap (EADT) consists of three (3) components. The Groth Model 8460 (6 quart capacity) manually operated Drip Trap, an electrically operated Actuator with a special timing unit, and a Coupling Assembly. The Drip Trap is mechanically connected to the Actuator by the Coupling Assembly. The timing unit controls the drain duration and drain cycles of the drip trap. Typically the drip trap is set to drain for about 2 minutes every 12 hours. The drain duration and drain cycles are field adjustable by DIP switches on the timing board. During a power outage an operator may manually operate the Drip Trap by easily removing a coupling collar and turning the handle. A manual test switch permits the operator to test the opertion of the elecrically operated Drip Trap between normal drain cycles.
An optional level sensing switch assembly is available. With this option the Drip Trap will drain automatically whenever it fills to capacity. Consult factory for details.
