2
Connect the tubing from the vacuum control valve-and-gauge assembly (1) to the
open three-way connector tubing on the pinch-valve module assembly (2).
If you are installing the control valve-and-gauge assembly with the optional on/off
toggle switch, ensure that the toggle switch is in the on position (handle in line with
valve body), as the following figure shows.
Note: The remaining tubing from the three-way connector is pre-assembled: One
tube connects to the vent port, and the second tube connects through the valve
port.

Connect the open end of the pinch-valve tubing from the valve port (2) to a port on
the waste bottle (3).
4
Connect tubing between the second port of the waste bottle (3) and an in-line filter
(4).
5
Connect the tubing between the in-line filter and the vacuum source (5).

Connect the power cable (6) from the pinch-valve module to an AC outlet.
7
Connect the communications cable (7) from the pinch-valve module to a com port
on the controlling computer.
