6. SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your new system is now ready to be used. Here are a few simple guidelines to follow when you are
using your Nadair Central Vacuum S ystem: Insert the wall end of the hose into one of the vacuum
valves installed throughout your home, and you are ready to start, pres s the switch on the hose handle!
NOTE
In regards to the low voltage system: All vacuum inlet valves are fitted with two (2) s pringloaded metal
pins (see inside the valve opening). When the two (2) metal parts of the hose wall end are in contact
with the two (2) pins ins ide the valve, the system is energized. You may now turn it on or off from the
hose handle switch (if this option was selected).
The low voltage cable is connected in parrallel from every valve, it runs all along the pipe network and
brings the power to the the remote switch so to remotely start or stop the power unit in all safety.
A standard flexible hose, not fitted with an interruptor, will start the power unit as soon as it is inserted in
the valve opening.
7. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
F ILT R AT ION S Y S T E M
In order to maintain optimal air
quality in your home, the power unit
comes s upplied with a high efficiency
HY B R ID filtering s ystem.
A permanent polypropylene
washable and reus able filter together
with an optionnal 12,5L dis posable
bag.
The permanent filter must be in place
at all times, the filter securing strap
must be tightened just so as to insure
no fly-by of debris into the motor
housing.
IMP O R TA NT
This Nadair hybrid power unit may
be used with or without a 12,5L
dis posable bag.
3 bags pack #: F D-12.5L -3NA D
The disposable bag installs as
shown here :
1-R emove the debris canister.
2-R emove the dirt filled bag.
3-Install the new bag by twisting it.
4- Verify and clean (if neces sary)
the permanent filter.
5- R eplace the debris canister and
secure the latches .
NOTE
When replacing the dis posable bag, make s ure that the rubber diaphragm is correctly installed onto the
intake P VC pipe. Make sure that the bag is not cut. Make sure that the canister is secured in place prior to
res tarting the power unit. It is rec ommended to replace the dis pos able bag or to empty the debris
canis ter as well as to c lean the permanent filter 3 or 4 times per year. If the sys tem is used more
frequently than normal, repeat the above procedure more often.
IMP O R TA NT
NE VE R US E this system to pick up liquids , mud or combustible materials. To vacuum baking flower, talcum
powder, cement or gypsum dust, will have for effect to obstruct and eventually clog the filter media; you have
to clean the filter s everal time during and after such pick-ups. Otherwise the power unit performances will
be affected, the motor will overheat and may be damaged.
MOTOR
This Nadair power unit is equipped with a soft-s tart controler and a delayed stop. A warning is automatically
programmed after 500 hours of usage. The inspection and the maintenance of this appliance must be done
in an authorized service center. A Mini-breaker s hall cutt-off power to protect the motor in the event of a
power surge which may cause the motor to overheat. The low voltage technology sys tem communicates the
power unit s tatus through a muticolor LE D on the side of the unit. P lease consult the interpretation chart in
section 8.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
GENERAL
The following may cause failure of the power unit:
- Inadequate electrical power (Voltage or Amperage), verify that the electrical power supplied complies with
the power unit’s requirement. or;
- Abnormal performances of the electronic control module or the motor
B efore calling a s ervice technician, in case of a malfunction, please review the following situations by
running the following simple diagnos tics :
S IT UAT ION V E R IF IC AT ION
THE P OWE R
UNIT DOE S
NOT
OP E R ATE
Verify that there is power in the electrical outlet.
Verify the breaker or the fuse in the electrical panel.
Verify that the power cord is adequately plugged in the electrical outlet.
Verify that the mini-breaker button on the side of the unit is pushed-in.
S hort-circuit the low voltage connections on the side of the power unit. If the
power unit s tarts, the problem is somewhere else in the valve network wiring
or on the current carrying hose.
Verify that all low voltage connections are adequate at every valve location.
Open every valve, one at a time, and make contact between the two (2)
small pins with a metal object. If all the valves work properly, take a look at
the low voltage circuit or switch on the hose.
If the power unit s till does not work after the above diagnostic, bring the unit
to the neares t authorized service center.
S IT UAT ION V E R IF IC AT IO N

OR AIR
F L OW AT
AL L
Verify the cleaning tool or the hose for pos sible obstruction. If the hose is
obstructed, try to “mass age” the clog out. T ry to “reverse” the hose by
inserting the cleaning end of the hose in the wall valve and making contact
with the two (2) small metal contact pins, hold your hand around the opening
for air tightness.
Verify if the disposable bag is full, if so replace dispos able bag and/or that
the filter may be clogged, if so clean the permanent filter.
Verify if the debris canis ter is adequately placed on the unit with no air leaks.
.
If one of the vacuum valves has noticeably less power than the others , it is
a
sign of a clog at this particular valve. Write a different number on a few paper
tissues and pick one up in every valve in the home; s ee in the debris
canister which one is missing s o to find which valve is obstructed
If none of the valves function properly and that the power unit is running;
unhook the flexible pipe on the top of the power unit from the debris intake
line. If you have plenty of power there, it is a s ign that the clog is between the
last valve and the power unit.
If the power unit still does not work after the above diagnostic, bring the unit
to the nearest authorized service center.
Verify that all other valves are shut and that there is no air leaks .
