OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Adding More Water To Toilet Bowl Raise flush handle or press “Add Water” switch until desired water level is attained. To prevent toilet overflow, the control module limits the amount of water that can be added. 2. Flushing The Toilet FLUSH HANDLE REMOTE SWITCH STATUS PANEL ADD WATER TO BOWL OFF When the vacuum status panel’s green “OK to Flush” light is on, and the red “Do Not Flush” light is off, press the handle OFF or “Flush” switch down for a moment, then release it.
Clearing Discharge Lines Sanitation hoses should be cleared if toilet will not be needed for an extended period of time (more than two weeks). 1. Fill toilet bowl with water and add 4 oz. (120 ml) of biodegradable laundry detergent (should not contain bleach). 2. Flush toilet, holding pedal down for about two minutes. Close flush ball. 3. Turn off water supply to toilet. 4. Flush the toilet without water, allowing the vacuum pump to shut off after the flush. Repeat three times.
Sanitation System Components Vacuum Toilet: VacuFlush all-ceramic vacuum toilets with Flush and Forget® technology operate differently compared to other toilets. The vacuum system uses a small amount of water (a little more than a pint or .5 liter) per flush in addition to a simple vacuum. The toilet is connected to a pressurized freshwater system. Fresh water is the key to an odor-free bathroom compartment.
Sanitation system Components (cont’d) TankWatch® Level Indicator (marine option only): The TankWatch unit utilizes micro-float switches which activate an indicator panel. The micro-float switches are installed in the top of the holding tank. The adjustable probe assemblies are flexible polybutylene tubing and are designed to flex when tank contents move. TankWatch Panel and Probes VacuStat™ Indicator Panel: Continuously monitors vacuum status for proper toilet operation.
Marine Sanitation Regulations All boats with fixed toilets in U.S. waters and in the waters of some other countries are required to be equipped with an operable marine sanitation device (MSD). The VacuFlush vacuum sanitation system, when installed in a boat, is a holding tank or Type III system as defined by the U.S. Coast Guard. Type III systems are designed to permit operation of the toilet without the direct discharge of untreated waste after every flush.
Flush Mechanism Components 3. Lift china toilet straight up and set it down close to front of floor flange/adapter assembly. Turn off water to toilet and disconnect flexible water line at rear of base assembly. The toilet is completely disconnected. 2. Remove access cover. Lift up control module. Disconnect power cable and vacuum control cable from control module. Do not disconnect flush handle cable or base assembly cable. 1 .
Manual Flush Operation In the event of an electrical failure, the flush ball can be manually operated to clear the bowl. We recommend using a long-neck screwdriver or 7/16-in. socket for the operation shown below. NEVER PRY OPEN THE FLUSH BALL FROM INSIDE THE TOILET BOWL. Damage to the flush ball and bowl seals may result. 1. Remove PC board access cover. Place Mode Switch in the “Manual Override” position. This disconnects flush valve motor brake from electrical circuit. 3. Insert screwdriver or 7/16-in.
Troubleshooting A volt/ohmmeter (VOM) and the appropriate Toilet Wiring Diagram may be required for this section. Caution: Portions of this section will require that power be applied to the toilet. Keep hands away from the flush ball, motor drive arm and rotor shaft to prevent personal injury during testing and troubleshooting. The control module uses a microprocessor to provide all the automatic and timing functions. The control module is on the right side under the access cover on the top of the toilet.
troubleshooting (cont’d) ERROR CODE CORRECTIVE PROCEDURES Condition Corrective Action Mode Switch in SERVICE position. Return Mode Switch to NORMAL position. Valve Open Limit Switch problem. With the flush valve fully open, check the “Valve Open” status light. If the light is off, then the Valve Open Limit Switch is out of alignment or defective, or related wiring is defective. Valve Closed Limit Switch problem. With flush valve in the fully closed position check the “Valve Closed” status light.
