Warranty
FOODSERVICE DISPOSER CONTROL CENTER LIMITED WARRANTY
InSinkErator Foodservice Disposer Control Centers are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for
one year from the date of installation. The warranty includes parts and labor, provided the service is performed by an
InSinkErator Factory Authorized Service Center. This warranty does not apply if failure is due to: faulty or improper
electrical installation, faulty or improper plumbing installation, product abuse or misuse, or accidental damage.
Foodservice disposer accessories are included in this warranty only if they are included in the original disposer
purchase package.

Introduction/Features
INTRODUCTION
The AS-101K Control Center is UL® and CUL® approved
for use with InSinkErator Foodservice Disposers. See
Table 1 for approved disposer and control center
combinations. The control center operates the disposer
and control center combinations. Its main functions are:
• To start and stop the disposer.
• Toreversethedirectionofthedisposermotor
automaticallyuponrestart.
• To start the water flow to the disposer.
• To regulate the amount of water needed for
operation. Two solenoid valves are used to control
high and low water flows.
• To allow water flow for several minutes to flush the
drain line after the disposer is turned off.

FEATURES
AUTOMATIC REVERSE
The disposer motor will reverse its direction of rotation
automatically upon restart. To avoid motor damage, a
five second delay feature prevents reversing while the
motor is coasting.
WATER SHUTOFF DELAY (POST FLUSH)
After the motor is turned off, the water continues to
flow for up to 10 minutes. The length of this post flush
is controlled by the water shutoff delay timer. The post
flush helps ensure that ground food waste is flushed out
of the drain line. Adjust water shutoff delay as described
in the operating instructions on page 8.
AUTOMATIC WATER REGULATION
This acts as an on-demand water saving system
for InSinkErator Foodservice Disposers. It senses the
load of the disposer, and regulates the amount of water
necessary for grinding and non-grinding situations.
This uses two solenoid valves.
NOTE: When the disposer is first turned on, both
solenoids will operate. After the set time has expired, the
flow to the disposer will slow to one gallon per minute if
there is not food waste present in the grinding chamber.
AUTOMATIC TIMED DISPOSER SHUTOFF
This water saving feature allows the disposer to run for
up to 10 minutes before it automatically shuts off and
must be manually restarted.
NOTE: This feature is set in the manual position at
the factory. To activate the automatic timed disposer
shutoff, disconnect the electric power to the control
center, then open the control center door. Locate the
Dip Switch Module at the top of the printed circuit board
(see Figure 8). Move the #5 dip switch from MANUAL to
AUTOMATIC. The disposer now automatically shuts off
10 minutes after it starts.
EXTERNAL REMOTE CONTROL
One or more remote controls may be connected to
the control center. These enable the operator to start
or stop the disposer from any control station. A 24 V
control circuit provides low voltage push button operation.
ELECTRIC DISCONNECT SWITCH
The lever switch on the front panel of the control center
disconnects the line voltage. It interlocks with the front
cover so that the cover cannot be opened unless the
switch is in the off position.
NOTE: Use of the electrical disconnect switch results
in a 30 second delay before system can be restarted.
You must wait 30 seconds after reactivation of the line
disconnect switch before system will start.
LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL
Controls operate on a 24 V solid state control circuit.
ENCLOSURE
NEMA 4 construction.
PUSH BUTTON OPERATION
Push Black button to start disposer.
Push Red button to stop disposer.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Use of more than two solenoid valves will affect the
overall function of the Aqua Saver systems. Extra
solenoid valves will cause a reduction in voltage
and solenoid actuation will not occur.

Mounting the Control Center/Plumbing Connections
MOUNTING THE CONTROL CENTER
Use the flanges at the back of the control center
enclosure and only mount panel in the upright vertical
position (door hinge is on the left). See Figure 1.
Locate control center within sight of disposer per local
codes. Locate any remote control station within sight of
disposer per local codes.

If box is mounted to the sink table, recess the box so
that the buttons do not extend beyond the table’s edge.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Two solenoid valves with flow control valves
pre-installed (1 GPM and 7 GPM) are packed with the
control center. The syphon breaker is supplied with all
complete disposer packages (packed separately).
The solenoid valve is supplied with a 24 V coil. Make
certain that the valves are plumbed according to the
water flow direction arrows marked on the valve or the
valves will not function properly.
The flow control valve regulates all water flowing into
the disposer. This conserves water and prevents
overloading. Check direction of water flow arrows.
Syphon breaker must be installed above the sink flood
plane per local plumbing codes. Check direction of
water flow arrows.
