Unit Installation Using the mounting plate provided with your vacuum cleaner, secure the unit to the wall (figure 1), at a height allowing easy access to change the bag or empty the canister. figure 1 Contrary to all other connections in the piping system, do not glue the last fitting to your unit. Cyclo Vac central vacuums are equipped with an adjustable air intake valve (figure 2), which does not require glue. An air-tight fit is obtained with the screw-type adjustment on the fitting itself.
Dos & Don’ts INSTALLING INLETS When installing your vacuum inlets, we recommend that the principle of electric polarity be taken into account. Ensure that the wire connected onto contact A on inlet 1 is the same as that connected to contact A on inlet 2, and so on. Do not cross, reverse or interchange wires.
Muffler Installation 1. Insert the rubber coupling on the vacuum air exhaust. 2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the clamp collar to ensure adequate sealing. 3. Insert the 90° elbow into the rubber coupling, and tighten the clamp collar as per instructions in step 2. 4. Apply ABS glue to the 90° elbow and insert muffler. 215, 615, 715 & 2015 MODELS C B A D Glue not included. 7515 MODEL A C A. B. C. D. A Rubber coupling 90° elbow Muffler Air Exhaust B D Glue not included.
Electric Connections There should be an electric outlet within 1 meter (3 feet) of your central vacuum unit. Once the appliance is installed in a suitable location, connect your central unit to an electric outlet on a dedicated* grounded circuit. Do not use extension cords or modify the length of your vacuum cleaner’s power cord.
Grounding Instructions This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
Low Voltage Connections Connect the low voltage wires to the low voltage inlet on your unit. To do so: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Strip wires over 1 cm (½ inch) (figure 3). Gently press on the toggle to open the connector (figure 4). Insert stripped wire (figure 5). Release toggle to secure wire in connector (figure 6). Repeat steps 2 to 4 for second connector. To disconnect: 1. Gently press on the toggle to open the connector. 2. Remove low voltage wire from connector.
Hose Hook-up & Inlets Before operating your central vacuum… Please verify that your central vacuum is properly connected to the piping system and to a grounded electrical outlet, and that the low voltage wires are connected to the unit (see pages 11 to 16). Then, read the complete owner’s manual and proceed with a quick verification of your unit’s installation : r $IFDL CBH BOE àMUFS UP NBLF TVSF UIFZ BSF QSPQFSMZ JOTUBMMFE BOE OPU damaged.
Progressive Start (HX Series) Each HX model is equipped with a special module allowing for a smooth and gradual start-up of the vacuum system, to prolong motor durability. Automatic Stop (HX Series) In case you’ve forgotten to turn off your vacuum, or it’s been turned on by mistake, your vacuum system wil automatically shut off after one hour of uninterrupted use. The four LEDs on the DataSync hose will flash, indicating an automatic shutoff.
DataSync Monitor (HX Series) Your central vacuum unit is equipped with an electronic timing device that will recommend proper maintenance of your vacuum system. These signals are only suggestions and do not indicate a problem with your vacuum system. They will not stop or hinder the use of the vacuum.
DataSync Hose (HX Series) The light emitting diodes on the DataSync hose will signal, by flashing, that it is time to change the bag or empty the canister, and even when maintenance is required. They do not indicate a problem with the vacuum system, and will not hinder or stop the use of the vacuum power unit. c d e f g 1 Flashing LED over Bag icon Check the bag or the dust canister and change/empty if necessary.
Motor Please note that Cyclo Vac motors do not require lubrication. Each motor contains two carbon brushes that will wear normally, and may eventually require replacement. For warranty purposes, replacement should be done by an authorized dealer. Brush life is affected by hours of use, frequency of start-ups and shut-downs, humidity, altitude, and temperature. In order to avoid damage to the unit’s motor, brushes should be replaced before they are completely worn-out.
H & HX Series - Hybrid Filtration Use with bag Replace the bag when full. Frequency will depend on use of the unit. For the HX series, the DataSync monitor will indicate when to change the bag. These indications are provided by an electronic timing board, only as a reference guide. 1. To access the bag, unlatch the two clips and remove the dust receptacle (figure 11). 2. Remove the used bag and seal bag opening (adhesive seal provided on each bag). Discard used bag. 3.
H & HX Series - Hybrid Filtration Use without bag We recommend you empty the dust receptacle and clean the permanent filter at least each season, depending on use of your central vacuum. 1. To empty the dust receptacle: Disconnect the unit from the electric outlet. Unlatch the two clips, remove the receptacle (figure 14), and empty into an appropriate container. 2.
H & HX Series - Hybrid Filtration CONVERTING THE UNIT Your Cyclo Vac central vacuum unit was designed for use with or without disposable bag. Though it is sold with a bag installed, it can easily be removed, and the unit modified for use without disposable bags. 1. To access the bag, unlatch the two clips and remove the dust receptacle (figure 16). figure 16 2. Remove the used bag (figure 17).
General Information If the vacuum unit does not work, check the fuse or breaker on the unit and/or in the electrical panel of your home, and replace any defective part(s) as deemed necessary. Please verify that the unit has been installed properly, according to the instructions in this manual. Your vacuum cleaning system is designed to collect everyday dry matter (dust). It is approved by authorized testing agencies for dry use only. Do not use on wet surfaces.
Troubleshooting 26 PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Decrease in suction strength Dirt recipient/Bag is full Empty dirt recipient / change bag (see pages 22 - 23). Dirt recipient is not properly attached Check clamps and dirt recipient are aligned. Filters need cleaning / replacing Remove, clean or replace them (depending on model) before reinstalling them in the unit (see page 22).
Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Decrease in suction strength (cont.) Blocked hose Plug the handle end of the hose into the suction inlet, thus reversing the suction in the hose. Cover the gap around the handle, to ensure suitable suction strength, and ensure contact with inlet contacts to start the unit. This should clear the hose Obstruction in the piping system Remove the screw from the air intake connector, to free the central vacuum unit from the piping system.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Vacuum will not start The electrical power is not connected properly Ensure that the power cord is plugged into a dedicated grounded electrical outlet, according to specifications on pages 14 and 15. Low voltage wire is not connected properly Verify the low voltage wires, make sure they are properly inserted into the low voltage inlet, as per instructions on page 16.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Vacuum will not stop Hose improperly inserted Ensure that the hose into vacuum inlet end is properly placed in the vacuum inlet: the tab on the hose should fit into the slots of the inlet, to ensure adequate contacts for the hose switch to function (see page 17).
