I have a condensate pump that I'm going to try to install today. It has a couple of wires that can attach to a unit to make it turn off in the event of overflow or failure of the pump. Is there a place on the Nyletherm to connect these wires? The manual shows High Pressure Switch and Defrost Thermostat connections on the System Controller Relay Unit. I imagine the defrost thermostat causes the unit to go into heat mode, or whatever, but would shorting the high pressure switch contacts cause it to turn it off?
 
Everything (controls etc.) in the Nyletherm is 240vac. The High Pressure switch is normally closed.
If you want to go to that level of complexity of shutting the unit down, you probably need a relay to interrupt the power.
