As illustrated on pages 4 and 5 of this manual, the Automatik system evacuates its wastewater automatically after approximately 10 minutes. The membrane allows you to adjust the time lapse during which the unit will deactivate before restarting its cycle; the default time lapse is 20 seconds.

WHY CHANGE THIS PARAMETER?

• With a lower tank model, the unit can reactivate as soon as there is no wastewater left to flow through the rubber hand (in other words when all the wastewater is in the lower tank).

• If the unit’s drain is located very close to the pipe leading to the sewer and that there is less restriction to the amount of wastewater that can be evacuated, the evacuation time could only take 15 seconds.

• On the other hand, if the diameter of the pipe leading to the sewer is smaller and restrains the amount of water that can be evacuated, increasing the evacuation time to over 20 seconds could be necessary.

• Connect the components of the wastewater piping system as illustrated, securing the system with the clamps supplied with your unit.

The following pages illustrate piping diagrams, typical installations and the parts that we recommend for the optimum performance of your central vacuum system.

GENERAL INFORMATION

An air outlet leading to outside must always be installed on your unit. Make sure that the evacuated

air does not lead under a carport.

• If your unit includes two motors, it is important to use metal piping and couplings for the air outlet.

• To determine where to locate the wall inlets, use the length of the vacuum hose as a basis, measuring the furthest point from the wall where the wall inlets are to be installed. Do the same for all the wall inlets until all areas of the house or building can be reached with the vacuum hose, by moving it from one wall inlet to another; don’t forget to install one in the garage or outside to vacuum your car.

• If your walls are made of gypsum board, never install a wall inlet in the center of the wall. Drill the holes for the wall inlets close to a wall stud or a door frame.

• Any screw length can be used if you install the piping as illustrated in Figure A.

• If you install the piping as illustrated in Figure B, make sure to position the small screw in the right place to avoid that a longer screw goes through the piping.

• Always use a short elbow when connecting the wall inlets (Figures A and B) to prevent long objects (for example, a pencil) that may have been vacuumed by mistake from blocking the piping further on.

6) ADD THE AUDIOPROTEK

MUFFLERS

• Instructions on how to assemble the Audioprotek mufflers are included in a leaflet inside the packaging.

* N.B. All models equipped with only one motor include only one muffler centered on the top of the unit.

EXAMPLES OF PROPER AND IMPROPER INSTALLATIONS

All the central vacuum system models in this manual are equipped with an electrical cord. An adequately powered electrical outlet must be installed near the unit. A dedicated electrical circuit must

be used for the unit and one for each booster head. Please refer to page 32 for a detailed diagram of the appropriate connections for your model.

CONNECTION PROCEDURE

• Install the 24-volt wires from the network (each wall inlet) to the unit.

• If your unit includes one or several booster heads,

24-volt wires must be connected to each head as illustrated on the following page (refer to the diagram of your particular model).

• Connect the unit to the electrical outlet with the power-supply cord.

• The vacuum cleaner is now ready to be put to use.

VISUAL INSPECTION

Your Automatik system is very user friendly and we recommend a visual inspection through the porthole

once a year or when needed. If you wish to clean the inside of the unit, refer to the following section “Regular

Maintenance”.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Except for removing objects that could remain at the bottom of your tank

(for lower tank models), the only maintenance required is cleaning the inside of the unit.

To proceed, you just have to remove the porthole glass as illustrated, by pivoting it in an anti-clockwise motion using the handles.

2

Electrode

Water Inlet

Use a scouring sponge to especially clean the protective

screen, the two electrodes and, if needed, the tank.

A blocked protective screen could reduce the unit’s performance and dirty electrodes could not adequately send a signal to the unit to pass on to the wastewater evacuation cycle.

At the same time, it is recommended to visually inspect the water inlet pipe and the rubber hand to make sure that no foreign object is obstructing the water flow.

Protective

Screen

34

MOTOR BRUSHES

Any mechanical system requires a minimum of maintenance and your system is no exception to the rule. We therefore recommend that you inspect your motor brushes after 500 hours of use to check how worn they are and replace them if need be.

On average, this inspection should occur:

• For residential applications: once every 3 to 5 years

• For commercial applications: once or twice a year

When the time comes, contact your retailer or distributor for this maintenance procedure.

WEEE GUIDELINES

This unit complies with the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Guidelines, which promote the recycling of this type of waste equipment and encourage the development of products that are adapted to efficient waste reclamation at the end of their life cycle.

The WEEE Guidelines stipulate that the original supplier should agree to reclaim any obsolete equipment free of charge. We recommend that you advise your supplier that you would like him to reclaim your unit when you order and replace it with a new one.

Do not discard the unit with your regular garbage. The symbol representing a garbage bin on wheels on the unit’s label (Figure C) attests to this requirement. You must ensure that, at the end of its life cycle, your unit is reclaimed, treated and recycled by an authorized firm.

For more information, contact your municipal waste management department.

THE UNIT WON’T START UP...

SOLUTION :

1) Check the circuit breaker in your electrical panel.

2) Check the unit’s circuit fuse/breaker.

3) Check the 24-volt circuit, as follows:

Try to establish electrical contact in a wall inlet with a metal object (for example, a coin).

--> If the unit starts up, the suction hose is defective.

--> If the unit doesn’t start up, check to see if the 24-volt wires are properly connected to the unit.

Try to establish an electrical contact between the two terminals of the 24-volt circuit on the unit with a metal object (for example, a screwdriver).

--> If the unit starts up, a 24-volt wire is either cut or disconnected from one of the wall inlets.

--> If the unit won’t start up after these steps, the printed circuit is defective.

THE UNIT WON’T SHUT DOWN…

SOLUTION :

Check the 24-volt circuit as follows:

Disconnect one of the two wires on the unit’s 24-volt circuit.

--> If the unit shuts down, the problem could be that two 24-volt wires are touching themselves somewhere or that the wall inlet is defective.

--> If the unit doesn’t shut down, the printed circuit is defective. Unplug the power cord.

Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the main drainpipe?
The main drainpipe is the pipe that carries wastewater away from your house or building to the sewer.
How often should I inspect the motor brushes?
We recommend that you inspect your motor brushes after 500 hours of use to check how worn they are and replace them if need be.
Where should I install the unit?
It is important to install the unit in a location where it will be easily accessible for maintenance and to effectively evacuate the waste. The basement is generally the most ideal location, near the building’s main drainpipe.
