THE TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

INSTALLING THE UNIT

fIRST THINGS fIRST -

As illustrated on pages 6 and 7 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.

Setting the timing can only be done when the unit is in use (not while it is evacuating the wastewater).

Evacuation Time

Minimum: 5 seconds Maximum: 35 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.

SETTING THE EVACUATION TIMEFRAME

Press on one button only to set the time to 5, 10 or 20 seconds. Or consecutively press on two or three buttons to set the respective timing.

Example:

25 seconds of evacuation time

INSTALLING THE UNIT

STEP SEQUENCE -

WHERE WILL YOU INSTALL THE UNIT?

We recommend installing the system on the lowest level of the building to avoid having to work against gravity. The basement is generally the most ideal location, near the building’s main drainpipe. A cold water pipe must also be available and connected to the unit. Vents are necessary if the unit is further then 6’ (2m) away from the main drain. If there is no basement, the garage or a storage room will do.

MINIMUM DIMENSIONS AND SPACING

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 following is the minimum spacing recommended:

* For models with a standard tank, the bottom of the P-Trap can be installed at 15” (38cm) from the floor. However, we recommend 26” (66 cm), if possible, so that a pail can be placed under the unit, if need be, when removing the P-Trap.

FROM DRY TO WET

If you wish to replace your conventional (dry) vacuum to an Automatik system, please follow the instructions below.

1. The Automatik system must be installed near the sanitary sewer. If your previous unit was placed to one end of the building, but the sewer is to the other end, the unit must be reinstalled at a closer range of the main drain and the pipeline must change its direction as well (Figure E). This will prevent unwanted dust to cling onto the pipe which will eventually clog the duct.

2. The pipes leading upwards must be slightly higher then the main pipeline to prevent liquids from flowing back down (Figure C).

3. If short elbows was used to mount the pipeline, these must be taken off. The minumum cornering pipe must be at least a medium elbow, but an 45

pipe is recommended for all corners for an optimal efficiency.

4. The inclination of the main pipeline must tilt a little more then using an ordinary vacuum to facilitate the flow of the liquids.

INSTALLING THE PIPING SySTEM

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.

If you experience voltage surge problems on your electrical circuit in spite of adequate connections, a high magnetic circuit breaker can be installed on your electrical panel. Contact an electrician for more information.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

These units 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 equipment-grounding 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.

WARNIN G - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified 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 UNITS -

IF IT DOES NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED

BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

These units are for use on a nominal 120V circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the one illus

trated below. Make sure that the electrical cord is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

NO ADAPTOR SHOULD BE USED WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

This unit complies with the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Guidelines, which promote the recycling of this type of waste equipment and en-

courage 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 acquirer of the Automatik system is commited to respect the environmental regula

tions of the liquid and solid waste disposal in the public water system.

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

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

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.

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.

Protective

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.
