ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (Vacuum Pump)
See “How To Proceed When Service Is Needed” (Page 13). If the owner performs the
installation with a non- authorized electrician or technician, Cristófoli will not be responsible
for services done in disagreement with the orientations descibed in this manual.

As shown in the identification label, the SuperGap 2 is a dual voltage device, and it
leaves the factory adjusted for 220 V. For 127 V operation, reposition the selector switch,
placed at the back of the equipment (Fig. 9, page 9). See “How To Identify Your
Vacuum Pump” (Fig. 11, page 10).
For installation, use a grounded outlet (2 Pins + Grounding, 20 A), plugging phase/neutral or
phase/phase at the side pins and grounding at the middle pin: Never plug the grounding
on neutral.
Electrical Grounding is very important for the operator’s safety and for your equipment’s
functionality. Therefore, the center pin (grounding) must never be removed or cut. The
failure to observe this procedure may damage your autoclave. Install the equipment
where the power cord can be easily disconnected.
Never use electric extensions, adapters or voltage transformers.
For the proper functioning of the autoclave, the electrical wire must be stable, in other
words, without oscillations. It is mandatory the use of an exclusive circuit breaker for
the outlet where the autoclave will be installed. If after following all the specifications,
the electrical wire still oscillates, contact the local electricity company.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (suction instruments activation)
See the dental unit or vacuum pump kit manual to find the activation wiring for the
microswitches and instal it to the strip connector of the vacuum pump (Fig. 9, page 9).
White: Micro switch.
Red: 12 V DC (LED). Note: For dental units or vacuum pump kits which has indicating LED at
the sution instruments.
Black: Ground (GND).
HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
Provide, close to the vacuum pump, a water supply with a 3/4" external thread water valve.
The water inlet pressure must be around 3 to 40 wcm (water column meters), above 20 wcm,
it could be possible to hear an acute sound from the flow regulator.
Connect the hose with a 90° angle to the water inlet at the front of the vacuum pump (Fig. 8,
page 9) and the other side to the water valve.
The water flow regulation is automatically done by an internal device (Fig. 8, page 9).
SUCTION
The pipe that connects the dental unit to the vacuum pump must have an inclination level
between 0 and 10 %.
It is recommended that right angle connections at the pipes be avoided, prefer 45°
connections and/or soft curves to optimize vacuum (Fig. 7, page 8).
Connect the residue filter to the suction inlet (Fig. 6, page 8), after that, connect the
corrugated hose to the filter. Remember to put the clamp before fitting the hose, fasten it
firmly.
Fasten the R/L adapter at the dental unit suction inlet, after that, fit the other side of the hose
to the R/L adapter (fit the clamp before, as described above).

DRAINAGE
The one-way noise reducer minimizes the noise produced by the airflow inside the pipe.
The vacuum pump induces air to the plumbing system, so open drains or siphons near will
release air, noise and probably bad smell, therefore, every drain at the establishment must
have a siphon.
Connect the corrugated hose to the drain exit and fasten it with the clamp (Fig. 2).
Cut the hose at the most convenient place (Fig. 2) and install the noise reducer (Fig. 3)
observing the arrow that indicates flow direction (Figs. 3 and 4). Attention!
The incorrect installation of the noise reducer (backwards) will cause damage to the vacuum
pump.
Connect the R/L adapter to the drain exit of the dental unit, after it, connect the hose to the
adapter and fasten it with the clamp. Note: The vacuum pump and the cuspidor may be
connected to the same drain, since that there’s an exclusive siphon for the cuspidor, to avoid
excessive noise.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
For better functioning and durability of your vacuum pump, some procedures are needed.
Preventive maintenance correspond to the accomplishment of all procedures below.
PERIODICITY
MAINTENANCE
DAILY
Vacuum pump internal cleaning:
It is recommended that a specific product for this purpose be used, for example, a
detergent which is suitable to disinfect and dissolve residues inside the vacuum
system, for it will reduce the need of cleaning and keep the suction capacity
through duct clearance. To perform this kind of cleaning, proceed according to the
cleaning product manufacturer’s instructions.
Residue filter cleaning:
Open the filter cover by turning it counterclockwise (Fig. 10, page 9), remove-it and
discard the residue in appropriate place. Wash the cover of the residue filter and
filtering element, verify if the gasket inside the cover is properly placed, and
reposition the residue filter. If the gasket is damaged, replace-it. To buy extra filtering
elements, consult your local Cristófoli authorized dealer. ATTENTION! Never forget to
reposition the filtering element of the residue filter. Small fragments are enough
to damage the internal components of the vacuum pump.
MONTHLY
External cleaning:
Unplug the power cord and perform cleaning with a feather duster or a soft cloth,
slightly moistened with water and biodegradable neutral detergent, after it, clean
with a cloth, moistened with 70% alcohol and 1% peracetic acid. Never use
solvents or petroleum derivatives. Verify the openings at the bottom of the motor, if
there’s dirtiness accumulation on it, perform cleaning.
YEARLY
General revision and flow limiter regulation (we recommend that this procedure
be performed by an authorized technical assistance):
Unplug the power cord and close the water supply valve. Remove the hose
connected to the water supply valve. Remove the filtering screen and take the flow
limiter out of the water inlet with a needle nose plier. Rotate the tip of the flow limiter
counterclockwise, taking care not to damage the internal rubber disc. After
removing, wash the parts below running water. When mounting it, take care not to
press the rubber disc. Reposition the set back to the valve. Reconnect the hose to
the water inlet. Turn on the vacuum pump and make the measuring test again.
Measuring test (water consumption): Disconnect the hose from the drain exit of the
vacuum pump. Use a measuring cup with ml (millilitre) scale and a stopwatch.
Activate the vacuum pump, wait for 3 to 5 minutes, until the flow of expelled water
stay constant. Place the measuring cup at the vacuum pump water exit and collect
the expelled water for 1 minute. After this time, observe if the amount of expelled
water is 160 ml. If the result taken is different from the indicated value, perform the
procedure again.
