Unit Installation
Using the mounting plate provided with your vacuum cleaner, secure the unit to the wall (fi gure 1), at a height allowing easy access for maintenance of the fi lters, dirt receptacle and/or bags (see pages 6 and 7).
fi gure 1
The connections to the piping system will require some basic tools: a mitre box and small saw or a pipe cutter (fi gure 2). See pages 9 and 10 for general instructions pertaining to the preparation of PVC pipes. To simplify matters, installation kits, including necessary fi ttings, pipes, glue and wiring, as well as a detailed instructions booklet, are available from
Cyclo Vac service centers.

Contrary to all other connections in the piping system, do not glue the last fi tting
to your unit. Cyclo Vac central vacuums are equipped with an adjustable air intake valve (fi gure 3), which does not require glue. An air-tight fi t is achieved with the screw-type adjustment on the fi tting itself.

INSTALLING INLETS
When installing your vacuum inlets, we recommend that the principle of electric polarity be taken into account. Ensure that the wire connected onto contact A on inlet 1 is the same as that connected to contact A on inlet 2, and so on. Do not cross, reverse or interchange wires.

Muffler Installation
1. Insert the rubber coupling (A) on the air exhaust (D).
2. Using a Phillips (star shape) screwdriver, tighten the clamp collar on the rubber coupling to ensure adequate sealing.
3. Insert the 90° elbow (B) into the rubber coupling, and tighten the clamp collar.
4. Insert the muffl er (C) on the end of the 90° elbow.

Electric Connections
There should be an electric outlet within 1 meter (3 feet) of your central vacuum unit. Once the appliance is installed in a suitable location, connect your central unit to an electric outlet on an dedicated* grounded circuit. Do not use extension cords or modify the length of your vacuum cleaner’s power cord.
DEDICATED* GROUNDED CIRCUIT
• North America
120 V / 240 V All models: 15 A
• European continent and other
220 V / 240 V Model DL200SV: 10 A
220 V /240 V All other models: 8 A
Your central vacuum cleaner has a thermal safety device or a circuit breaker to protect against any over voltage or electrical defect. If that protection should fail, contact your authorized service center.
*Please reserve a circuit breaker dedicated only to the connections for your central vacuum.
If you fi nd that installing your vacuum cleaner is too diffi cult, ask your service center to install it for you. When in doubt, it is better to have the work done by a professional and ensure that the unit is properly installed. Any installation that does not comply with the specifi ed norms could alter or invalidate the warranty.

Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualifi ed electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fi t the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
120 V MODELS
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounded plug (fi gure 4). Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same confi guration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
fi gure 4
220 V/240 V MODELS
This appliance is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than 120 V and is factory-equipped with a specifi c cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same confi guration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance. If the appliance must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnections should be made by a qualifi ed service personnel.

Low Voltage Connections
Connect the low voltage wires to the low voltage inlet on your unit. To do so, simply terminals from the low voltage inlet on the unit, and proceed according to the types of inlet and wire used.
STANDARD LOW VOLTAGE INLET
All types of wire:
Twist the stranded wire to tighten the loose strands together before proceeding. Insert the wire into the terminal (blue connector).
Using your wire strippers, tighten the terminal at two places: at the front, to hold the wire in place, and at the back to tighten the insulator around the wire (fi gure 5). If the insulator does not completely cover the stripped wire, use electrical tape to insulate the wire adquately, and prevent all contact between the 2 wires. Insert the terminal into the low voltage inlet (fi gure 6).
To disconnect:
Do not pull on wire. Simply remove the terminal from the low voltage inlet.

Installing the Remote Monitor
(Optional — DL300 only)
Having determined the location of both the central vacuum unit and the Remote System Monitor, run low voltage wiring to connect the Monitor to the central vacuum power unit.
Installing the Remote Monitor
1. Insert the low voltage wire into the mounting box through one of the designated openings, and fasten within the wall at the determined location (fi gure 11).
2. Having stripped the exterior casing of the four-stranded wire, strip 0,5 cm (¼") of each color wire.
3. Connect wires to the module connector. Insert each of the 4 color wires in the corresponding color-coded inlet on the connector.
To do so, loosen the screw on the side of each inlet, insert the wire, and tighten screw to ensure a tight connection. Repeat for each of the remaining 3 wires (fi gure 12).
4. Insert the connector to the electronic module and ensure it holds in place (fi gure 13).
5. Screw the electronic module to the mounting box, with the two screws provided (fi gure 14).
6. Complete with the “Decora” fi nishing plate.
