IN USE
When in use the power indicator turns green. The 4 progressive performance
bars will appear. A normally functioning unit should have all 4 performance
bars lit. If there are consistently less than 2 bars, you should check for the
problem. Possible issues causing the performance bars to lessen could be:
SCROLLING YOUR LCD
When not in use, you can scroll through the features of your LCD to
observe the dirt receptacle status, life monitor measure or most recent
recorded power level.
To scroll through these features simply push the button corresponding
with the right pointing arrow symbol.
1. Blocked suction at the hose end
2. Clogged pipe in system
3. Air restrictive tool being used, such as a crevice tool
4. Full dirt receptacle
5. Clogged fi ltration system
EMPTY DIRT RECEPTACLE
Every 25 hours of use (approximately 6 months) the empty dirt receptacle
indicator will fl ash on the screen. This is an indication to check the dirt
receptacle and empty it. Since this is time based, you may fi nd the dirt
receptacle too empty or too full. If you have pets, a workshop or other
factors that cause waste more frequently, you may wish to check the
dirt receptacle more frequently.
Once the dirt receptacle is emptied, you push the return button to reset
the 25 hours timer. If your power supply is interrupted, or otherwise
unplugged, the empty dirt receptacle indicator will keep a memory of its
previous status and continue life measure.
To manually reset the Empty Dirt Receptacle indicator, simply press the

backwards through the screens.
BAG ADAPTOR
Your power unit can all be fi tted with a convenient paper bag for more
convenient dirt disposal. For maintenance of the paper bag, please see
the Paper Bag Filter section, under Filter Maintenance.
Refer to page 8 - Image 10
UTILITY VALVE
The utility valve is similar to an Inlet valve, but is located near the power
unit. This valve is present for your convenience, as it can help clean up
any dirt spilled close to the central vacuum.
OVERHEATING PROTECTION
If the circuit board reaches an elevated temperature, the power unit will
not operate and the LED will be off or on the LCD model the screen
will be fl ashing. In the event of these problems, press the On/Off button,
unplug hose or wait for temperature to lower. If problems persist;
contact your authorized dealer or distributor.
The life meter has 8 bars on it. Once these bars are depleted your unit will
continue to run, although it is strongly recommended to take it to your local
service center to be inspected and serviced. A life bar will deplete every
65 hours of vacuum use, meaning your central vacuum will have a long life
of service to you. The life meter can be reset only by your service technician.
If your power supply is interrupted, or otherwise unplugged, the life meter
will keep a memory of its previous status and continue life measure.
SERVICE INDICATOR
If there is a system fault, or malfunction with your power unit, the service indicator
will fl ash. Upon seeing this symbol, we recommend that you turn the power
unit off, unplug the power supply for 10 seconds and then plug it back in. If the
service symbol is still on the screen, we recommend that you call for service.
This symbol may appear due to the following faults:
• Motor problem
• Electronic problem
• Voltage or current problem (too high or too low)
• Power unit not responding to electronics
Refer to page 8 - Image 9
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The central vacuum system employs features that monitor the following operating
levels: AC voltage, and current draw. If the voltage is below or above standard
operating voltage, high current draw or locked rotor, the power unit will not
operate. In this case the On/Off button will blink until the problem ceases or on
the LCD model the screen will fl ash. If problems persist; contact your authorized
dealer or distributor. The power unit requires 30 minutes to cool down.
Refer to page 8 - Image 9
DIAGNOSTICS AND MAINTENANCE
Reduced airfl ow or suction indicates the central vacuum system is not
operating at maximum effi ciency. If the dirt receptacle is full and the fi lter
is clogged, no air can pass through the unit and no cleaning can take place.
Instructions provided in the booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance.
Proper airfl ow or suction can be maintained by keeping the dirt receptacle
and fi lter clean and the plastic tubing and hose free from clogs.
EMPTYING THE DIRT RECEPTACLE
Most models feature dirt receptacles with windows to tell at a glance when
the dirt receptacle should be emptied. In most cases, the dirt receptacle
only needs to be emptied two to three (2-3) times a year. To remove the dirt
5
receptacle, press the buttons on the receptacle handles. Remove and empty
the contents. Return the receptacle by attaching the bucket to the power
unit. To avoid suction loss make sure the receptacle is securely attached.
CLEAR BLOCKAGE IN PIPES
Blockage in the hose
Refer to page 8 - Image 11
FILTER MAINTENANCE
The internal fi lter is permanent and self cleaning. However, if you have
questions about your permanent self-cleaning fi lter, please contact your
local authorized dealer/distributor.
PAPER BAG FILTERS - OPTIONAL
The volume of the paper bag is 22 liters (5 gallons). A full dust bag reduces
the systems performance. Depending on how often you use your central
vacuum system, the dust bag may need to be changed 2-3 times
per year – and can be obtained at your local dealer/distributor.
Instructions for changing the dust bag:
1. Remove the power unit dirt receptacle.
2. Loosen the dust bag from the intake tube, remove and dispose.
3. Place and press the new dust bag fi rmly into the tube.
Turn the dust bag’s opening to make it fasten fi rmly on the tube.
4. Put the dirt receptacle back on the central power unit.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE TROUBLE WITH YOUR
CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEM, FOLLOW THE
SUGGESTIONS BELOW BEFORE CALLING
FOR SERVICE.
Plug hose into any inlet valve. If there is no suction through the hose after
connecting at a couple of inlets, the blockage is in the hose. To clear the
hose obstruction, insert a blunt instrument into the hose (garden hose,
wood dowel). You can also attempt to reverse the suction through the
hose to dislodge the blockage.
Refer to page 8 - Image 12 and 13
If there is one inlet valve without normal suction and you have checked
for hose blockage, then the blockage is in the pipe system between the
blocked inlet valve and the power unit (see instructions below).
Insert the hose into the inlet valve where there is no suction; hold your
hand over the hose end. Release hand quickly. Repeat several times.
If blockage does not clear, contact your nearest dealer/distributor.
POWER UNIT WILL NOT START
• Check for blown fuse or circuit breaker in main house electric supply box.
• Unplug and check all wall inlet and low voltage connections for loose wires.
• If unit still will not start, contact your nearest authorized service
station/dealer.
POWER UNIT WILL NOT STOP
• Check inside each inlet valve for obstruction of low-voltage contacts.
If no visual obstruction can be detected, disconnect the cleaner from
the power receptacle and contact your nearest service station/dealer.
PARTIAL/TOTAL LOSS OF SUCTION POWER
• Be sure dirt receptacle is on properly.
• Empty dirt receptacle.
• Remove debris from fi lter.
• Be sure each inlet valve is properly closed.
