3 - DESCRIPTION OF THE CENTRAL SUCTION UNIT
3.1 Operating principles
The central suction system, suitable for any kind of residential building (house,
office, hotels, service building) consists of a net of PVC pipes spreading out in
every room and perfectly chased in walls and false ceilings. The suction pipe
network is equipped with suction inlets where the user fits the suction hose.
The SISTEM-AIR central suction unit must be installed in a separated room (for
example in a storage room, in a garage or in another service room) and is
connected to the suction pipes network.
The user starts the suction unit by simply inserting the fitting of the suction hose
into the suction pipe inlet.
If the pipe network is not equipped with an electric system, it is possible to install
remotely controlled starting and stop functions, controlled by means of a
remote-control device (supplied upon request).
