Locate the two low-voltage wires near the main 
pipe. Remove the insulation from the low-volt 
wire. Insert the low-volt wire into the spring-
loaded low-volt connectors (refer to figure 3). 

Be certain you comply with your local electrical 
codes and regulations. 

The power cable has a three prong style 
connector on one end. This connector must be 
plugged into the matching connector on the 
power unit. Plug the other end of the power 
cable into the wall electrical outlet.

You are now ready to check the installation of 
the unit:

Plug the hose into each inlet valve to 

• 

be sure the electrical contacts operate 
properly.
Check the inlet valve for air leaks.

• 

Check each pipe connection for air leaks.

• 

Be sure the dirt receptacle is properly 

• 

secured to the power unit.
Be sure the filter is properly installed in the 

• 

power unit.

Your cleaning system is ready to use.

Your central vacuum 
system starts and 
stops automatically. 
To turn the system on, 
plug the hose into a 
wall inlet valve. To turn 
it off, remove the hose 
from the valve (refer to 
figure 4).

Electrical Fault Protection

The central vacuum system employs features 
that monitor the following operating levels: 
AC voltage, current draw and circuit board 
temperature. 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 LED next to the On/
Off button will blink or go out until the problem 
ceases. In the event any one of these problems 
happening, make sure all low-volt switches 
are in the OFF position, then press the on/off 
button, unplug hose, or wait for temperature 
to lower. If problems persist, contact the 
authorized service center nearest you.

In the case of power failure, the power unit 
will return to its previous state when power 
returns. For example, if a hose is plugged in 
with the hose switch on, or a straight air hose 
is plugged into a wall valve, then the power unit 
will turn back on. If the power unit was turned 
on at the unit prior to power loss then the unit 
will not turn back on.

Inlet valves

Plugging the hose into an inlet valve complete 
a low-voltage electrical circuit which activates 
a relay and turns on the power unit. To turn off 
the power unit, unplug the hose from the inlet. 
When unplugging the hose, hold the inlet cover 
open for a few seconds to allow suction to 
decrease and protect the inner seal. 

An obstruction in the inlet valve may cause the 
power unit to continue to run after the hose 
has been removed from the inlet. To shut down
