Your power unit does not require the assembly of a muffler. Your CVS has
the muffler installed internally. You may however desire to exhaust the air
outside. In this case you will need to attach the exhaust adapter. This will
convert the size of the exhaust to the diameter of the central vacuum pipe.
Refer to page 27 - Image 5
• Place the power unit in order to make the exhaust pipe as short as
possible. Exhausts should be limited to no longer than 16.5ft (5m).
• Keep in mind that you may need space on the sides of your
central unit to be able to access the dirt receptacle.
Refer to page 27 - Image 6
• Align the power unit intake fitting to the main trunk line projecting from the

wall.
Attach the exhaust pipe to the motor exhaust if
exhausting outdoors. Make sure the exhaust pipe is as short as possible.
NOTE: Mount central power unit at least 12in (30cm) from the ceiling
and any adjacent wall, at least 27.5in (70cm) from the floor and within 6ft
(1.8m) of an electrical outlet. Review any local regulations that may apply.

WARNING
Do not block the hood ventilation openings on the top of the central
power unit. Lack of ventilation will cause the motor to overheat.
WARNING
Do not locate the central power unit in a high temperature area where it
is inaccessible for example, an attic or crawl space.
For the ultimate in air control, you may have purchased the true HEPA
filtration. The True HEPA filter may be simply attached to your power
unit as shown. Wash the removable filters up to 20 times until a new
filter and adapter are required. Note: The filter cartridges and HEPA filter
adapter are recyclable.

SYSTEM TEST
Be certain to comply with local electrical codes and regulations. Plug
the unit into a regular electrical outlet. You are now ready to check the
installation of the unit:
• Be sure the filter is properly installed in the power unit.
• Be sure the dirt receptacle is properly secured to the power unit.
• Plug the hose into each inlet valve to be sure the electrical
contacts operate properly.
• Check each inlet valve for air leaks.
• Check each pipe connection for air leaks.

HOW TO USE CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEM
Your central vacuum system is controlled by a switch on your hose.
Simply insert the hose into the valve and turn the switch to the on position.
This will start the power unit and the flow of air.
When you are finished, turn the switch on the hose to the off position
and remove the hose from the inlet valve. When unplugging the hose,
hold the inlet cover open for a few seconds to allow suction to decrease
thus, protecting the inlet valve seal.
LED INDICATION BUTTONS
Your power unit is equipped with a multi color LED panel. This LED
panel will provide you with necessary information on your power unit's
performance, maintenance and diagnostics.
You machine may be equipped with some or all of the indicators listed below.
Refer to page 27 - Image 9
MODEL EKB550 AND MODEL EAS575
On/Off
Motor Fault
NORMAL OPERATION
When the power unit is OFF and considered to be in standby mode the
LED button will be RED.
When the power unit is ON and in use the LED will be GREEN.
MOTOR FAULT
The central vacuum system employs features that monitor the AC line
voltage, current draw and motor temperature.
Temporary voltage and current problems may prevent the power unit
from starting. The motor fault LED will flash. These conditions will
automatically reset and the LED functions will return to normal.
If conditions persist, contact your authorized dealer or distributor.
In the event of an overheated motor or disconnected internal motor wire,
the power unit will not turn on. The On/Off LED will illuminate both red
and green and the motor fault LED will illuminate amber. Unplug the
power unit for 30 minutes, allowing the motor to cool down. Reconnect
the power cord and check for normal operation. If conditions persist,
contact your authorized dealer or distributor.
MODEL EAS625
On/Off
Motor Fault
Normal Operation and Motor Fault function will be as described above
for EKB550 and EAS575.
EMPTY DIRT RECEPTACLE
Every 25 hours of use (approximately 6 months) the "empty dirt receptacle"
indicator will illuminate. This is an indication to check the dirt receptacle
and empty it.
To manually reset the Empty Dirt Receptacle indicator, simply press
the Reset button, and hold for 10 seconds.
Since this is time based, you may find the dirt receptacle too empty
or too full. If you have pets, a workshop or other factors that cause waste
