Sauermann SI-50 Peristaltic Condensate Pump | SI50CE01UN23
The Sauermann SI-50 is a peristaltic condensate pump designed for all types of air conditioning units up to 8kW: wall units, air conditioning cabinets, ceiling units, and ducted units. Controlled by the air conditioner compressor power signal (cooling signal), it activates when the compressor runs and continues operating for 4 minutes after the compressor stops to clear residual condensate.
⚠️ Important: The SI-50 is not compatible with reversible or inverter systems as it must not be used in continuous operation. For inverter or reversible systems, see the Sauermann SI-52.
Key Features
- Peristaltic pump — quiet, vibration-free, self-priming operation
- Compressor live signal detection — wired directly to compressor line

- 12m maximum discharge head | 2m maximum suction head
- 6 L/h constant flow rate (regardless of discharge or suction head)
- IP55 protection — suitable for unventilated areas
- ≤30 dBA — quiet, vibration-free operation
- Thick, reinforced tube for longer service life
- Resistance to contaminated condensate (particles and chemicals)
- Easy-open front panel — tool-free tube replacement
- Glass fuse replaceable in one step (standard 5×20 cartridge)
- Compact: L85 × W108 × H122mm
- CE & UKCA certified | RoHS & WEEE compliant | Made in France

SI-50 vs SI-51 vs SI-52 — Which Do I Need?
| Model | Detection | Inverter/Reversible? |
| SI-50 | Compressor live signal | ❌ Not compatible |
| SI-51 | Thermal probes (temp differential) | ❌ Not compatible |
| SI-52 | Float switch | ✅ Compatible |
Replaces PE5000
The SI-50 is the direct successor to the discontinued Sauermann PE5000. Note: replacement heads (PE5001) and tubes (PE5002) for the old PE series are not compatible with the SI-50. Use ACC00954 (head) and ACC00953 (hose) for SI-50 servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the SI-50 know when to run?
- The SI-50 is wired directly to the air conditioner compressor line. It activates when the compressor runs and continues for 4 minutes after the compressor stops to clear any remaining condensate.
- Can the SI-50 be used with inverter or reversible AC systems?
- No. The SI-50 must not be used in continuous operation and is incompatible with reversible and inverter systems. For these systems, use the Sauermann SI-52 instead.
- What is the difference between the SI-50, SI-51, and SI-52?
- The SI-50 uses compressor live signal detection. The SI-51 uses thermal probes (temperature differential). The SI-52 uses a float switch and is the only model compatible with inverter and reversible systems.
- Can I use PE5000 spare parts (PE5001 head, PE5002 tube) on the SI-50?
- No. PE series spare parts are not compatible with the SI-50/51/52. Use ACC00954 (replacement head) and ACC00953 (replacement hose) for SI series servicing.
- Does the SI-50 work on UK 230V supply?
- Yes. The SI-50 runs on 230V~ 50/60Hz standard UK mains supply.
