Now the unit can be turned on and programmed.
Programming Instructions:
Coin acceptor:
No programming to acceptor needed if unit was purchased with the standard Imonex Z3 acceptor (8149 JEA part number)
as it is built accept US quarters.
If different acceptor was purchased, see additional literature sent along with unit for programming info.
Once unit has been installed use 5871B8 cap plugs (supplied with unit) to seal holes
in canister bottom located in lower cleanout door. Extra cap plugs are included with
the unit in case plug becomes damaged during shipping removal.
To attach hose,
thread into metal hole
counter clockwise.
Edge of
hose will
need to start
here. To insert 5871B8 cap plugs into bottom holes, pinch
cap plug into place using index finger and thumb.
With edges of plug resting against edges of hole,
firmly push down on plug with end of hammer or
other blunt object until plug snaps into place.

REV 4-9-129
Programming:
The below timer pictured is the standard SSAC model that allows the end user to select the "coins to start" and
the "time per coin" by settings series of dip switches. The number of "coins to start" dip switch is how many
quarters are needed to make the machine come on. In the below example, the "one coin" dip is selected which
makes the unit come on with one coin. The "time per coins" will then need to be set, but a good rule of thumb
would be 4 minutes which requires dip switches 3.2 and .8 to be set to on. This scenario means 1 quarter will
provide 4 minutes of vacuum time. The time per coin setting can be modified as desired by simply adding or
subtracting time. If the operator would later decide to increase the cost of the unit to "2" quarters, the 2 dip
switch would need to be in the on position (all other off) and the time dip switches would need to have the 1.6
and 0.4 dips selected. This would allow 2 minutes of time for each quarter for a total of 4 minutes for two
quarters. Time in minutes/per coin dip switch settings:
0.1 = 6 seconds
0.2 = 12 seconds
0.4 = 24 seconds
0.8 = 48 seconds
1.6 = 96 seconds
3.2 = 192 seconds
6.4 = 384 seconds

Operating Instructions:
• Choose function desired and insert payment into that coin mechanism to start function.
• Once service is used, hang up hose.
Maintenance:
•All servicing of machine should be conducted by an authorized service representative!
• Filter bags should be accessed and shaken down weekly. It is recommended to keep a new set of bags on hand
so that once every few months the bags can be replaced and then laundered.
• To maintain performance, empty dirt bin from the canister on a regular basis.
• Periodically inspect wires and connections for wear or fatigue.
• Check door and motor gaskets periodically for signs of wear or damage and replace as needed.
• Check vac hose for cracks on a weekly basis.
• Check water hoses for cracks and fatigue on a weekly basis.
• During cold months, water must be shut off to unit and water line must be purged to prevent line breakage.
• Clean canister with a stainless steel cleaner as needed. Decals can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
• Check motor brushes every month for excessive wear. Motor brushes should be changed immediately if they
are shorter than ¼”. Please disconnect power before doing this!
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING OR TROUBLESHOOTING!

power connection.
Is the incoming power at 120V? Check voltage and monitor while machine runs.
Low voltage can cause erratic behavior.
Are any of the machines wires worn through or connections
not making contact? Inspect wiring and connections. Look for sharp bends in wires and places where wire is against
the metal chassis.
Unit is not powered.
Machine is behaving
erratically.
