Vacuum System Operation

Operatory waste (air, solids and liquids) is pulled into the separator

through the inlet hose by the rotary claw pump in the vacuum base unit.

Air is separated from liquids and solids. Air then flows into the pump and

out through the exhaust hose.

Fresh air is pumped in through the Vacuum Relief Valve to the pump and

out through the exhaust. (When ports are opened in the operatories the

VRV closes to compensate.)

The check valve connected below the drain port allows the unit to drain

liquids and solids upon removal of vacuum from the chamber when the

pump / motor shuts off.

The fan(s), hour meter and vacuum pump start to run when power is

supplied by the wall switch. The fan(s) and hour meter then begin to cycle

with the vacuum pump / motor. The float switches control the pump motor

by a 24 vac relay via motor contactor.

The upper and lower reed switch floats interact as a latching circuit with

the internal relay to release upon drain below the bottom float.

Power to System

• Power (230 VAC) is on supplying Line Voltage to the Vacuum Pump Electrical System.

• 230 V is applied to the 230 V / 24 V Transformer energizing it.

• 24 V is applied from one side of Transformer, to the Terminal Block.

• From the Terminal Block, 24 V is applied to Terminal 6 of CR1 Relay, thru CR1 normally

closed contacts (6 & 2) to one side of the coil on Contactor “C”, also to J1 & J2 Plug

(pin 1), and thru the Timer to one side of the Wall On / Off Light.

• 24 V is also applied thru the closed Door Limit Switch,Circuit Breaker & Timer to one

side of the Wall On/Off Switch.

Incorrect vacuum line cleaners.

Non-foaming line cleaners and proper line

cleaning procedures are required.

Draining ultrasonic cleaning solutions with the

vacuum is not recommended.

Refer to: B - Pump Testing and Repair.





Timer working properly?

The timer should run the vacuum for approximately

one minute every two hours and should be installed on

all P series vacuums.

P series vacuums should be turned on/off through the

low voltage circuit. Using the main AC power supply to

turn the vacuum on/off does not allow the timer to

work properly.

Timmer dip switches (S2) should be down/off position.

Refer to: B - Pump Testing and Repair.





Moisture in the pump?

Moisture from the exhaust can get into the pump

and cause it not to spin freely.

Verify the exhaust P-trap is installed properly and

the drain tube is not clogged.

Liquid Evac Pump

Electrical

The Liquid Evacuation Pump is an optional accessory for the PowerVac

®

.

• 115 VAC is applied to the 115V / 24V Transformer energizing it.

• 24 VAC is applied from one side of the Transformer to the J3 plug.

• When the water level reaches the

Bottom

float switch, K3 relay contact closes.

• When the water level reaches the

Middle

float switch, K2 & K4 relay contact close.

Power is supplied to J8 and J9 terminals, energizing the Liquid Evacuation Pump.
