SOLUTION:
• One VACON®
100 FLOW drive now handles
all the control tasks of the F Series
central vacuum cleaning unit, giving
considerable savings in space
requirements and component costs.
• Minor software changes were made with
Vacon’s Drive Customizer programming
tool to include the functions of the
electrical cabinet in the drive.

TESTIMONIAL:
“It just required some fine-tuning to Vacon’s Standard
Application to make it fully meet the functionality of the
electrical cabinet we used to use. We were able to make the
necessary changes ourselves using the Drive Customizer
programming tool.”
