FEATURES

SINGLE BUTTON OPERATION

Disposer and Waste Xpress are controlled by simple ON/OFF button operation.

AUTOMATIC REVERSE

The disposer motor will reverse its direction of . rotation automatically upon restart. To avoid motor . damage, a delay feature prevents reversing until . the post flush is complete.

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.

AUTOMATIC TIMED DISPOSER SHUTOFF

This water saving feature allows the system to run for 10 minutes before it automatically shuts off and must be manually restarted.

LINE DISCONNECT SWITCH

The 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.

LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL

Control operates on a 24 V solid state control circuit.

ENCLOSURE

Stainless steel NEMA 4 construction.

WX TIMER HOT WATER SPRAY ADJUSTABLE Factory set for 2 minutes off 10 second on controls hot water spray for cleaning of screen.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

•Ensure that Waste Xpress voltage and phase match that of the electrical supply, control center . & disposer. Check nameplate for specification.

•Electrical connections should be made by a . qualified electrician and should comply with all . local codes.

•Turn off electrical supply to Waste Xpress, . control center & disposer before attempting to work on it. Test with a volt meter or circuit tester . to ensure that power is off.

•Do not operate unit with panels removed.

•All components (disposer, WX, control center . and solenoids) must be carefully and permanently grounded.

•A properly fused disconnect must be installed at Waste Xpress, control center & disposer electrical supply source.

•Use only NEMA 4 watertight electrical connectors when connecting to junction box.

MOUNTING THE CONTROL CENTER
