Eureka Central Vacuum Cleaner manual Power unit electrical wiring

Page 12

To attach the low-voltage wires, strip the wire and crimp the strands into the two “slip-on” terminals provided. Attach the terminals and plug the power unit into the dedicated electrical outlet. The sentry light should come on. Flip the switch and the power unit should come to life. Attach the remaining section of tubing to the power unit with connector/s and clamp/s provided. Caution: Do not glue the

connection because you may need to disconnect

the system at a future date. For added installation convenience, some power units may have inlet connections on either side. If your system came with a muffler, clamp it to the exhaust port.

NOTE: Unit may be exhausted to exterior to expel fumes, germs, and some noise. Use the same tubing and fittings. If vented, the exhaust air should not be vented into a wall, ceiling, or concealed space of a building. Venting over

10 ft. (3m) is not recommended.

Power unit electrical wiring

Check local codes but use not less than #14-3 wire. Plug power unit cord into appropriate 120/220/230/240V

-50/60 cycle electrical outlet. Be sure line voltage is sufficient to handle a 15- or 20-amp load. See your owners guide.

Check your installation—to make sure it works properly.

All that’s left to do is check the quality of your installation. First, check to see if you have a closed system; with no hose or handle attached, and all inlet valves closed, there should be little or no air coming through the exhaust on the power unit when it is turned on. Second, with the system still running, walk through your home. If you hear whistling or hissing, you may have forgotten to glue a connection. Check basement and attic areas, too. Third, have a helper plug the hose into each of the inlet valves to be sure you can turn the power on. Turn off the switch on the hose handle. If it does not shut off, the low- voltage wires are crossed somewhere…usually at

an inlet valve.

That’s it! You’ve just installed your own central vacuum system.

You’ve just made cleaning easier... while improving the air quality in your home. Congratulations!
