Function and Principle
The VAC Controller is programmed to control the following:
● Automatic start and stop of a Vacuumarator™ pump.
● Manual start and stop of a Vacuumarator™ pump.
● Vacuum level monitoring.
● Auto stop after delayed run time (default 10 min).
● Tank level monitoring from a level switch in a tank.
● Activation of an alarm signal.
● Ready signal from a presence sensor (optional). Starts the Vacuumarator™ pump and produces vacuum to a set vacuum level.
Alarm
The VAC Controller is programmed with the following alarm settings:
● Power ON - Engages closed contact at alarm output F.
● Low Vacuum - Engages and activates alarm output G.
● Full Tank - Alarm is based on a level indication from a tank. Requires a level switch (not included).
● Long Running Time - Engages and activates alarm output I.
● Vacuum Transmitter Fault - Alarm is based on vacuum transmitter not connected, connected wrong, not working.
● Full Tank Warning - If the time setting in "runtime after full tank" has been set over 00, a pre-warning alarm will sound. This means that the
pump will run in xx-minutes before the full tank alarm sounds. Start planning to have the tank emptied.
Operation
● AUTO Mode 1.1
When the system is intended to be used as a constant vacuum system (CVS), and the motion/presence sensors are not connected to the
VAC Controller.
● VIP Mode 1.2
When the system is used with motion/presence sensors that are connected to the VAC Controller. Vacuum is produced when activating the
zone of the motion sensor.
● Manual Mode 1.3
Starts and stops the Vacuumarator™ pump via the VAC Controller, regardless of the vacuum transmitter (vacuum level).
WARNING: This can cause the vacuum to reach a very high level in the system and the pump will not stop.
● OFF Mode 1.4
System OFF, the VAC Controller will not start in this mode.

Troubleshooting
Jets Vacuum AS provides the following troubleshooting information to assist in resolving issues that may arise with your installation. For more
detailed information or assistance, please contact Jets Vacuum AS.
Problem Cause Action
Long Running Time If the pump is constantly running, more
than the set maximum running time,
an alarm will activate and the pump
will stop. There is also a limitation on
how long it is possible to run the pump
in manual mode.
The pump will stop when the alarm is activated. The pump/
unit must be restarted. The alarm output long running time
is activated.
Press and hold the return/reset button for 5 seconds to
reset the controller.
Full Tank Warning The full tank warning alarm will
activate when the high level tank
signal/input is active (closed signal).
The pump does not stop immediately,
but a running time count starts
(runtime after full tank alarm). The
runtime time is adjustable in the
settings menu 2.3.3. The counter will
be reset by a power failure.
The full tank alarm is activated. The runtime after full tank
time in alarm setting 2.3.3. can be adjusted.
Start planning to have the tank emptied.
Full Tank Alarm A full tank alarm will show on the
display. The pump will stop
immediately when the runtime after full
tank alarm counts down completely to
0.
The full tank alarm is activated and the pump stops
immediately. Empty the tank.
Low Vacuum Alarm The alarm is only activated in
automode, not in auto VIP or manual
mode. When vacuum in the system is
less than the set value in 2.3.2 for
longer than 1 continuous minute, a low
vacuum alarm will show in the display.
When the vacuum level goes back above the set value in
2.3.2, the alarm will disappear. Adjust the low vacuum
alarm level in 2.3.2
Vacuum Transmitter Fault The vacuum transmitter is not
connected, which will show the level
as 125 on the display. The vacuum
transmitter is connected wrong or is
broken.
Check the vacuum transmitter connections. Replace the
transmitter, if necessary.
