IN USE
When in use, the power indicator turns green. The 4 progressive
performance bars will appear. A normal 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:
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 button lining up with the Enter symbol and hold for 10 seconds.
LIFE METER
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 authorized dealer/distributor 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

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.

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.
