HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

The ProXtrak was designed with a purposely molded bottom for it to sit on the toilet* and to vacuum liquids. The tank never has to be emptied manually because it evacuates the wastewater automatically.
The sensitivity of the electrodes can be modified by the printed circuit board. See Annex for more information.

OPERATION SEQUENCE

The unit can be placed on top of a floor drain, shower or outside (where permitted).

UNIT DESCRIPTION

Your model may vary from the illustrated figure.

OPERATING THE MEMBRANE

As illustrated on pages 6 and 7 of this manual, the ProXtrak system evacuates wastewater automatically when the canister is full. The membrane allows you to adjust the time-lapse during which the unit deactivates and empties its content. The unit also clears out the wastewater once the unit stops.

WHY CHANGE THIS PARAMETER?
Adjusting the flushing time is recommended if large amounts of liquid is vacuumed, such as during floods. Programming a longer time lapse between flushing time allows the toilet to flush all the liquids before the next cycle.

ON/OFF
The first LED will stay lit if the unit is on. Press once to turn it off. It will then start flashing, indicating that power is still running through the system, even though the unit is turned off.
MAINTENANCE
The middle LED will light up after 500 hours of usage. This means maintenance is required and the unit should be taken to a Drainvac retailer to be examined. Maintenance should only be reset by a qualified Drainvac technician.

FLUSHING TIME

• Press once to initiate a short flushing time – LED will flash once.
• Press twice to initiate medium flushing time – LED will flash twice.
• Press three times to initiate a long flushing time – the LED will flash three times.

UNIT INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THE UNIT

The liquid extractor is designed to work at a far distance without having to travel back to the unit to empty the soiled liquids. This unit cleans up liquids and empties itself automatically. Essentially, the unit needs to be located over a suitable dumping point into which liquids can be drained. The most common dumping points are ; toilet bowls,  showers, floor drain, or anywhere outside (where permitted).
Find the most central dumping point related to the entire scope of the job to set up the unit. If the job is on multiple levels find the lowest dumping point available. Open a  window in the room where the unit is located to exhaust excess humidity. If located in a bathroom, start the ceiling fan.

TRUCK MOUNT
Cleaning enterprises are currently using portable tanks by “truck mount” to empty the wastewater elsewhere. Municipalities are increasingly disallowing it! The ProXtrak  V2P552 / DF2P552 allows to recover the liquids and emptying the waste directly on-site in the sanitary sewers via the toilet. It is the ideal model for sinister cleaning enterprises which already own a truck mount because these models do not include any motor!

APPLICATION

Begin work from the closest point to the unit “X”, right or left. Progress away from the unit and add hose lengths as required. When the farthest point is reached, work back towards the unit removing excess hose lengths as you progress back towards the unit. Using this method will keep hoses out of the way. For better hose drainage, lift the hose end and keep it elevated as you walk back towards the joint of the hose to be removed. Once you have finished, rinse the vacuum hose with clean water by vacuuming water from a  filled sink until the unit has filled up and dumped once. While rinsing does not immerge the hose completely. Allow some air in. Let the unit run for 1 to 2 minutes to dry out the accessories and the hose. Stop the unit and leave it in a position to let it drip. After storing the accessories and the hose remove the unit. To avoid dripping on the floor, carry the unit horizontally by tilting it towards you.

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY

The liquid extractor is a plug-in type. Some have up to two (2) motors and each motor has its own electrical plug-in cord. Each motor must be plugged to a separate circuit to prevent breaker overload and power interruption.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

These units must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH THE UNITS.
IF IT DOES NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
These units are for use on a nominal 120V or a 230V circuit and have a grounding attachment plug that looks like the one illustrated below. Make sure that the electrical
the cord is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
NO ADAPTOR SHOULD BE USED WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Each system requires minimum maintenance, without any exception.
MOTOR BRUSHES
Beyond the occasional external cleaning, we recommend that you inspect your motor
brushes after 500 hours of use to check how worn they are and have them replaced if necessary. When the time comes, contact your retailer or distributor for this maintenance
procedure. Take note that the motor brushes are not included in the warranty.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Your Automatik system is very user-friendly and we recommend a visual inspection through the porthole once a year or when needed. If you wish to clean the inside of the unit, refer to the following section “Regular Maintenance”.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance required is cleaning the inside of the unit. 2 To proceed, you just have to remove the porthole glass as illustrated, by pivoting it in an anti-clockwise option using the handles. Use a scouring sponge to especially clean the protective screen, the two electrodes and, if needed, the tank.

A blocked protective screen could reduce the unit’s performance and dirty electrodes could not adequately send a signal to the unit to pass on to the wastewater evacuation ycle. At the same time, it is recommended to visually inspect the water inlet pipe and the rubber hand to make sure that no foreign object is obstructing the water flow.
