IDENTIFICATION PLATE
For these models, the identification plate is located on
the body of the central power unit as shown in the
figure.
The necessary identification data are:
model, serial number and year of manufacturing.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TUBÒ
VACUUM SYSTEM
The purchased central power unit is the main component
of TUBÒ, AERTECNICA’s advanced vacuum system.
The TUBÒ system consists of the central power unit,
vacuum sockets installed in the building’s walls, the
hose that is inserted in the vacuum sockets based on
the room to be cleaned and a set of cleaning accessories
suitable for all residential needs.
A network of plastic pipes installed under the floor and
in the walls of the building form the dust intake line
that is connected to the central power unit.
The collected dust reaches the central power unit; the
large dust particles fall into the collection container
whereas a filter cartridge retains the suspended dust;
the micro dust (invisible to the eye and not filtered
by the cartridge) is discharged outside through the
air exhaust line, guaranteeing home hygiene and
preventing the dust from recirculating in homes.
The system can reach all areas of the home, both
inside as well as outside depending on the position
of the vacuum sockets installed in the building. The
recommended hose is 9 m. long, which makes it possible
to cover a circular area of approx. 40 m2(a reduction
in the radius of the circumference is due to obstacles in
the room (furniture) that make it necessary for the tube
to follow a curved path).
The dust container must be emptied periodically (approx.
2-3 times a year; see paragraph CONTAINER EMPTYING).
The filter cartridge should be replaced with a new one
every 2-3 years (based on its use; see paragraph FILTER
CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT).
The filter cartridge can be regenerated by washing it
periodically (based on its use; see paragraph FILTER
CARTRIDGE REGENERATION).
These timescales are approximate for normal vacuum
system use. In the case of intense use of the system
and a large amount of vacuumed dust, the timescale
will be shortened.

FORESEEN USE
The central power unit was designed exclusively for
vacuuming dust or small sized solid bodies.
The dust container must be emptied each time that it
is filled.
The filter cartridge must be regenerated periodically
and must be replaced every 2-3 years or immediately
if it breaks.
When replacing spare parts, use original Aertecnica
spare parts.
INCORRECT USE
Use personal protection garments before
carrying out operations such as emptying
the dust container or replacing/cleaning the
ltering cartridge.
In order to guarantee proper operation of the central
power unit and to prevent the relative warranty
coverage from lapsing, follow the instructions provided
below:
Do not vacuum lighted cigarettes, hot embers or
burning material: these materials may cause a fire to
start that would damage the hoses and the central
power unit.
Do not vacuum cloths, rags, fabrics or textile material:
these materials could obstruct the hoses or damage the
central power unit .
Do not vacuum liquids, materials saturated with liquids
or very moist materials: these materials could cause
the electric system to short circuit, prevent the proper
passage of the dust or damage the sockets and the
central power unit.
Liquid can be vacuumed using a special accessory (art.
AP372; art. AP373).
Do not allow children to play with the vacuum sockets,
opening and closing them continuously or inserting
toys or solid items of unsuitable dimensions.
Do not vacuum the dust using multiple sockets at the
same time(Aertecnica produces central power units that
can be used by multiple operators at the same time in
the TRIFASE line).
Do not use the system with the central power unit
turned on without the filter cartridge inserted.
Do not block the air exhaust line.
Do not block the air sockets for electric motor cooling.
Do not use the cleaning accessories to vacuum parts
of the body.
Do not leave the central power unit powered when it is
not used for prolonged periods of time.
TURNING ON/OFF
Turning on the centralised vacuum system depends on
the type of hose and the installed vacuum socket model.
There are two types of hoses:
TYPE 1: hose with an activator union.
The central power unit turns on when the union (B) is
inserted in the vacuum socket (A).
TYPE 2: hose with a switch.
The central power unit is turned on using the switch on
the hose itself.
Insert the hose-socket union with the special plates (D)
in correspondence of the contacts (E) inside the socket.
To turn off the central power unit:

CENTRAL POWER UNIT INSPECTION
The general centralised vacuum system inspection must be done after the final assembly of all vacuum sockets and the selected central power unit.
CHECK 1
Activate the central power unit with all sockets closed, jumpering the 12V socket line.
Inserting the vacuum gauge in the dust inlet that is not used or in any vacuum socket, check the vacuum value obtained by the central power unit,
which will stop automatically after 15 seconds. Note the value that was reached(value 1).
Disconnect the tubing from the central power unit and insert a vacuum gauge in its place. Activate the central power unit jumpering the 12V
socket cable line; check the vacuum value obtained by the central power unit, which will stop automatically after 15 seconds. Note the value that
was reached (value 2).
Check that the difference between values 2 and 1 does not exceed 15 mbar.
If the value is higher, this means that there are leaks that must be found and repaired.
CHECK2
Compare value 2 with the vacuum value indicated in the technical features table for the central power unit model that was purchased.
Check that the difference between the two values does not exceed 10% of the table value.
If the value is higher, contact the Aertecnica Service Centre.

Maintenance
Maintenance
english
16
NOTE
the values indicated in the table refer to a power supply voltage of 240 V at 50 Hz. If the mains voltage is less, use the following formula:
every 10 volt = 10 mbar (example with the TP1 central power unit: 270 mbar at 240 V = 250 mbar at 220 V).
VACUUM TEST - FOR ALL CENTRAL POWER UNITS
1 - Insert the hose in the furthest socket and activate the central power unit.
2 - Insert the vacuum gauge (AT010) in the socket adjacent to the one occupied by the hose; if the vacuum value is correct (RANGE between 100 and
150 mbar) the hand will point to the green zone. In this case, the test is positive. Otherwise, contact the Aertecnica Service Centre.
