6.4 Troubleshooting the Self contained compressed Air and Suction Systems
Self-Contained – top four avoidable ServiCe iSSueS:
check these on your system to avoid future problems
#1 Over-filling the canister when flushing at end of day and pulling debris into the vacuum pump.
Always follow instructions for cleaning the system and use limited quantities of water to flush the system appropriately.
Do not flood it.
#2 Using bleach in the system to clean.
Bleach will corrode internal parts of vacuum pump and requires rebuild kit (P/N 95-0068). Do not use bleach to
clean the system. Only Use an Enzyme based suction line cleaner (P/N 95-0278).
#3 Odor build-up from not purging the suction canister daily or using enzyme based cleaner.
(P/N 95-0278). Clean daily and follow instructions.
#4 low Voltage Power Source.
If operating at 120Volts/60Hz, the unit requires 115 - 125 volts for operation. Voltage levels below 115 will cause the
motors to work harder, overheat, and may shut off temporarily until they cool down sufficiently.
Vacuum is low
- Replace solids trap screens (P/N 95-0088 see section for complete list of part numbers available).
- Crack in tubing or solids trap collector housing. Replace the housing if required. (P/N95-0247 or 95-0175 see section
for complete list of part numbers available).
- Piston cups in vacuum pump are worn. Use the Rebuild Kit to replace. (P/N95-0068)
Vacuum Motor will not Start
- The suction canister is full and the overflow switch is engaged. Purge the suction canister completely.
- The autoholder for the suction handpiece may be locked out. Remove the suction handpiece from the holder and
ensure the lever is pointing down to the floor.
- Start up capacitor may need replacement (P/N 95-0064 see section for full list of available part numbers).
- Motor overload protection switch may have tripped. Let motor cool off for two hours and the compressor will
automatically restart.
- Low voltage power input. Verify 120 Volts or 230 Volts with multimeter. Correct lower voltage situation or switch to a
dedicated outlet. For 120 Volts use optional power conditioner.
Suction canister will not Purge or empty Out
- The pick-up tube in the canister is clogged. Remove and clean amalgam sediment bowl per instructions.
- Peristaltic purge hose tubing is clogged or misaligned in the pump. Try massaging tubing to clear or adjust tubing in
the pump. Replace tubing if necessary (P/N 95-0205).
