DESCRIPTION OF THE TUBÒ

VACUUM SYSTEM

The purchased central power unit is the main component of TUBÒ, AERTECNICA’s advanced vacuum system.

The TUBÒ system consists of the central power unit, vacuum sockets installed in the building’s walls, the hose that is inserted in the vacuum sockets based on the room to be cleaned and a set of cleaning accessories suitable for all residential needs.

A network of plastic pipes installed under the floor and in the walls of the building form the dust intake line that is connected to the central power unit.

The filter cartridge can be regenerated by washing it periodically (based on its use; see paragraph FILTER

CARTRIDGE REGENERATION).

These timescales are approximate for normal vacuum system use. In the case of intense use of the system and a large amount of vacuumed dust, the timescale will be shortened.

The collected dust reaches the central power unit; the large dust particles fall into the collection container whereas a filter cartridge retains the suspended dust; the micro dust (invisible to the eye and not filtered by the cartridge) is discharged outside through the air exhaust line, guaranteeing home hygiene and preventing the dust from recirculating in homes.

The dust container must be emptied periodically (approx.

2-3 times a year; see paragraph CONTAINER EMPTYING).

The filter cartridge should be replaced with a new one every 2-3 years (based on its use; see paragraph FILTER

CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT).

english

The system can reach all areas of the home, both inside as well as outside depending on the position of the vacuum sockets installed in the building. The recommended hose is 9 m. long, which makes it possible to cover a circular area of approx. 40 m

2

(a reduction in the radius of the circumference is due to obstacles in the room (furniture) that make it necessary for the tube to follow a curved path).

CENTRAL POWER UNIT INSPECTION

The general centralised vacuum system inspection must be done after the final assembly of all vacuum sockets and the selected central power unit.

CHECK 1

Activate the central power unit with all sockets closed, jumpering the 12V socket line.

Inserting the vacuum gauge in the dust inlet that is not used or in any vacuum socket, check the vacuum value obtained by the central power unit, which will stop automatically after 15 seconds. Note the value that was reached (value 1) .

Disconnect the tubing from the central power unit and insert a vacuum gauge in its place. Activate the central power unit jumpering the 12V socket cable line; check the vacuum value obtained by the central power unit, which will stop automatically after 15 seconds. Note the value that was reached (value 2) .

Check that the difference between values 2 and 1 does not exceed 15 mbar.

If the value is higher, this means that there are leaks that must be found and repaired.

CHECK 2

Compare value 2 with the vacuum value indicated in the technical features table for the central power unit model that was purchased.

Check that the difference between the two values does not exceed 10% of the table value.

If the value is higher, contact the Aertecnica Service Centre.

15 User and maintenance manual

NOTE the values indicated in the table refer to a power supply voltage of 240 V at 50 Hz. If the mains voltage is less, use the following formula: every 10 volt = 10 mbar (example with the TP1 central power unit: 270 mbar at 240 V = 250 mbar at 220 V).

VACUUM TEST - FOR ALL CENTRAL POWER UNITS

1 -Insert the hose in the furthest socket and activate the central power unit.

2 -Insert the vacuum gauge (AT010) in the socket adjacent to the one occupied by the hose; if the vacuum value is correct (RANGE between 100 and

150 mbar) the hand will point to the green zone. In this case, the test is positive. Otherwise, contact the Aertecnica Service Centre.
