CENTIX 60 english 1) New buildings Tips + Tricks: • Do not glue the vertical suction tube to the horizontal suction tubes in the ceiling immediately. • When the piece of tube is being sealed into the ceiling it must be protected with a casing so that the tube can be replaced with a longer one after the ceiling has been cast if necessary. • Create slits for the suction tubes in the finished wall. This makes the masonry work easier.
CENTIX 60 2b) Existing houses, surface installation english The suction tubes can also be surface mounted. Experience has shown the following to be advisable: I. Properties with cellar, single storey II. Properties with cellar, multiple storeys III. Properties without cellar I. Route tubes along cellar ceiling. Makes holes in the ceiling at the locations in which the vacuum sockets will subsequently be fitted. The vacuum sockets can be conveniently installed as floor vacuum sockets in the first storey.
CENTIX 60 english 2c) Use of empty shafts or unused chimneys In a property with an unused chimney or empty shafts, the tubes can be vertically routed from the vacuum sockets to the vacuum unit inside the chimney through the floors. 1. Determine the positions of the vacuum sockets. Ensure that the vacuum sockets are not directly opposite each other but have a height difference of at least 17 cm. 2. Then draw a diagram showing the socket arrangement with exact distances and lengths. 3.
CENTIX 60 3.2 Installing the control cable You can route and connect the control cables yourself, since the control signals are transferred with a low voltage of 12V. english 1. The two-wire control cable (7) must be routed from each vacuum socket along the tubes to the vacuum unit. The control cable is attached to the tubes using the supplied cable ties (8). 2. The cable is connected to the branching point using a connector block (14).
