loCation for Power Canister
The Power Canister can be mounted in the
basement, utility room, garage or any other
remote area, except where exposed to weather,
and convenient to an electrical outlet. The unit
requires ventilation. DO NOT install in a heat
producing or confined area such as the attic,
furnace room, etc. If desired, the Power Canister
can be exhausted to the outside.
The top of the Power Canister should be no less
than 12" (30.5 cm) from the ceiling, and any corner
wall, to allow proper cooling to the motor. For ease
of removing the dust container, the bottom of the
unit should be at least 18" (46 cm) above the floor.
Central Vacuum Power Canisters require a
separate/dedicated, 120 Volt, 60Hz., 20 Amp, 3
MountinG the Power Canister
1. Determine if the wall you will be mounting the
Power Canister to is block, concrete, or plaster/
drywall.
block or Concrete Wall
You will need (2) 1-1/2" (3.8cm) x 1/4" (.64cm) lead
plugs and (2) 1-1/2" (3.8cm) x 1/4" (.64cm) lag
bolts. Drill a 1/2" (1.3cm) dia. x 1-3/4" (4.4cm) deep
hole with a masonry drill bit. Insert a lead plug into
the hole.
Mount the bracket (Fig. 2.1) from a top hole with a
lag bolt. Mark the other upper hole of the bracket.
Make sure that the bracket is straight. Slide the
bracket away from the mark and drill a hole directly
over the mark.
Insert a lead plug into the hole. Align the bracket
over the hole and tightly fasten with a lag bolt.
Continue to 2.
drywall or Plaster Wall
You will need(2) 1-1/2" (3.8cm) x 1/4" (.64cm) wood
screws. Locate a stud and drill a 1/8" (.32cm) dia. x
1-3/4" (4.4 cm) pilot hole. Mount the bracket from a
top hole with a wood screw. Make sure that the
bracket is straight. Drill a second pilot hole using a
lower hole on the bracket and fasten tightly with the
other wood screw.
2. Mount the Power Power Canister on the bracket
making sure the bar on the back of the machine is
settled to the bottom of the slots on the mounting
bracket. The wall mounting bracket must fit between
the two brackets on the back of the central vacuum.
3. Route the intake tubing to the Power Canister.
4. Insert the tubing into the Power Canister inlet.

wire grounded power circuit, protected by a 120
Volt, 60 Hz., AC, 20 Amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker and a 120 Volt, 60 Hz., 20 Amp grounded
receptacle.
If a 120 volt, 60 Hz., 20 Amp grounded receptacle
is not available, have a qualified electrician install
one for you. The receptacle should be no more
than 5 feet (152 cm) from the Power Canister.

Connect to the exhaust (right hand side near to of
unit). Tighten the exhaust connection with the gear
clamp (included). (Do not cement pipe to plastic
exhaust port.)
7. Connect the 24 Volt wires coming from the wall
