Installation
Location
for
power
canister
The Power Canister can be mounted in
the basement, utility room, garage or
any other remote area, except where
exposed to weather, and should be
conveniently located to an electrical
outlet. The unit requires ventilation. DO
NOT install in a heat producing or
confined area such as the attic, furnace
room, etc. If desired, the Power
Canister can be exhausted to the
outside. The top of the Canister should
be no less than 12" (30.5 cm) from the
ceiling to allow proper cooling to the
motor. For ease of removing the dust
container, the bottom of the unit should
be at least 6" (16 cm) above the floor.
Central Vacuum Power Canisters
require a separate/dedicated, 120 Volt,
60Hz., 15 Amp, 3 wire grounded power
circuit, protected by a 120 Volt, 60 Hz.,
AC, 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker and a 120 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp
grounded receptacle. If a 120 volt, 60
Hz., 15 Amp grounded receptacle is not
available, have a qualified electrician
install one for you. The receptacle
should be no more than 5 feet (152 cm)
from the Power Canister.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD AN EXTENSION CORD BE
USED WITH THIS CANISTER.

How
To
Use
To start your Power Canister, simply
plug your hose end into any wall inlet
valve. Both types of wall valves
(Standard (A) - Corded Hose; Electrified
(B) - Cordless Hose) are shown in Fig
3-1.
If you have a hose without switches, the
Power Canister will start as soon as the
hose is inserted into the wall valve.
If you have a hose with a switch, then
the Power Canister can be turned ON or
OFF with the switch.
The Power Canister can also be turned

mounting the Canister to is block,
concrete, or plaster/drywall.
2) Block or Concrete Wall You will need
(2) 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) x 1/4" (.64 cm) lead
plugs and (2) 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) x 1/4" (.64
cm) lag bolts. Drill a 1/2" (1.3 cm) dia. x
1-3/4" (4.4 cm) deep hole with a
masonry drill bit. Insert a lead plug into
the hole. Mount the bracket (Fig. 2-1)
from a top hole with a lag bolt. Mark the
other upper hole of the bracket. Make
sure that the bracket is straight. Slide
the bracket away from the mark and drill
a hole directly over the mark. Insert a
lead plug into the hole. Align the bracket
over the hole and tightly fasten with a
lag bolt. Continue to 4).
3) Drywall or Plaster Wall
You will need(2) 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) x 1/4"
(.64 cm) wood screws. Locate a stud
and drill a 1/8" (.32 cm) dia. x 1-3/4" (4.4
cm) pilot hole. Mount the bracket from a
top hole with a wood screw. Make sure
that the bracket is straight. Drill a
second pilot hole using a lower hole on
the bracket and fasten tightly with the
other wood screw.
4) Mount the Power Canister on the
bracket making sure the bar on the
back of the machine is settled to the
bottom of the slots on the mounting
ON and OFF with the switch found on
the upper section of the motor module
located on the central vacuum unit.

hand side near top of unit) and vent
outside (not necessary if unit is in
garage). Tighten the exhaust connection
with a gear clamp. (Do not
cement pipe to plastic exhaust
Port.)
9) Connect the 24 Volt wires coming
from the wall valves into the 24 Volt
receptacle on the machine.
