Our Contact Details

Before starting to design the Beam Central Vacuum system into your home, it is

important that you understand all the implications on HOW it can be installed.

Refreshingly,itisfairlysimpletoinstall.

The most popular locations for the appliance to be mounted are on a wall in a:

!garage

!utility room

!under the stairs

!loft

!basement

!plant room

!cupboard (the smallest being a 500mm kitchen unit).

A bucket model, (dirt collects at the bottom of the appliance) should be fixed at

elbowheight so thatyou can emptyit easily withthe top ofthe appliance noless than

30cm from the ceiling. If it is a bag model, it should be no less than 30cm from the

floor and there will need to be enough space above the appliance to remove the bag

alongtheentiretyofitslength(about75cm).

Becausethefilterswithintheappliancearetoahighstandard,(98.3%filtrationat0.3

microns) the exhaust doesn’t always need to be vented to the outside, especially if it

is located in a garage, plant room or basement. However, if the appliance is in a

popular area of the property and it is convenient to do so, venting to an internal void

(egunderthefloor)orexternally,isquiteusefulinreducingexhaustnoiseaswell.

ChoosethelocationoftheBeamCentralVacuumAppliance

IFYOU PLAN TO VENT THE EXHAUST, THE LENGTH OF PIPE SHOULD BE NO

LONGER THAN 3MAWAY, WITH AN EXHAUST VENT-FLAP FITTED TO THE

OUTSIDE, TO STOP WATER AND VERMIN FROM GETTING INTO THE EXHAUST

MUFFLER. (SEE OUR PRICE LIST).

Themainaimhere is tocoverasmuch of the housefromeachpoint, so youdon’thave

to keep going back to the inlet in the wall and unplugging it to reach all the rooms.

Equally, youdon’twant to haveexcesshose for halfthetimethat you arevacuuming-

you therefore need to get a happy medium between not having too-long-a hose and

not having to unplug it too often from the inlet - the property DOES NOT need an inlet

ineveryroom!

!Youmay need two people towork thisout as youhave tomeasure how faryou can

reach with the hose all round the house. The most popular length of hose is 8m

and it is good to start with this length, although the hose can be shorter or longer

asrequired-seeourpricelistfordetailsonthelengthsavailabletoyou.

!Start with an 8m (29’3”) piece of string, wool, rope or a measuring tape. One of

you will need to stand at a fixed point in the hall way, (the inlet end) about ½ a

metre off the ground. The other person will see how far the 9m “hose” reaches

into every room from that point.You may need to move the person in the hallway

slightly, have a longer hose or have more than one inlet/socket downstairs.

Always try to have an inlet in a hallway as you can access several rooms from this

point. Sometimes there may be a need to have an inlet in a room, if you have a

room-off-a-roomsituation,ieaconservatoryoren-suitebathroom,orifthereisa

!Find what scale they are at and measure from the furthest point of the furthest

room downstairs, back into the hall. (Hopefully this will be under 8m - if not see

ourpricelistforotherlengthsofhosesavailable).

!Mark the point you get to and measure how many metres it was with the ruler to

the furthest point of the furthest room - you are measuring what hose length is

required.

Move to each further room downstairs to see if they can all be reached from the

point you marked - if not you may need to move your mark slightly, lengthen the

hose or have more than one inlet downstairs. Always try to have an inlet in a

hallway as several rooms can be accessed from this point. Sometimes you may

need to have an inlet in a room if there is a room-off-a-room situation, ie a

TIP:MAKE SURE THAT YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHERE FURNITURE IS LIKELY TO

BE,AS AHOSE CAN’TBE STRETCHED OVER THE TOP OF ADINING ROOM TABLE!

TIP: ITIS WISE TO HAVE AN INLET NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS SO THAT

YOU CAN VACUUM ALL THE WAY UP THE STAIRS BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF HOSE.

3 Planwherethepipe/ductworkcanbehidden

Obviously, if at all possible, all the pipe work that joins the appliance to the inlets in

the wall, should be hidden. Ultimately, you may now need to change the location of

the actual appliance and/or inlets, if the route is too long and complicated to get

there.

will have the pipe exposed in the corner of the room behind a door - just paint it the

NEWBUILDPROPERTY

Normally all the 52mm(2”) pipe will go in at the first-fix stage of the project, so it is

therefore very easy to conceal. The locations shown above are all options, but

Utilise the voids within any partition walls - holes can be cut through any noggins

RUN THE PIPE WITH THE JOISTS -

THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE JOIST AND THEREFORE IT’SSUPPORT PROPERTIES MAY

BE AFFECTED. IFIN DOUBT - SPEAK TO ABUILDING SURVEYOR OR BUILDER FIRST!

VacPan Installation

Personal Clothes Brush Installation

Clothes brush connector must have LV cable

connected to it and must be hung far enough

above the inlet so that the hose of the Clothes

Brush hangs naturally. Ensure wires are insulated

from each other.

Low voltage cable running to clothes brush

connector NOT to the dedicated wall inlet.

A dedicated inlet must be used and it is

important to run the low voltage cable past the

inlet itself, up to the clothes brush connector.

Wiring the Inlets & the Appliance

WALL INLET: Slot cable through the special hole in the mounting

plate. Cut back the outer and the inner blue and brown sleevings

2cm from the end. Loosen the two screws on the contacts and

make sure each wire is twisted to create a solid contact. Wind 1

wire (2 if 2 cables) around each contact screw and tighten.

Attach to wall mounting plate using screws included. On metal

inlets use 4mm prong crimps to insulate wires from inlet.

For picture clarity in the diagrams, we have only shown one cable with a blue and a

brown sleeved wire within it. However, as mentioned on page 14, if the inlet isn’t

on the end of the run, then you will actually have two cables in a loop going to the

inlet. This is to ensure that there are no breaks in the wire, where you can’t get to

them at a later date should a connection become loosened. This will mean both

blue sleeved wires will be fitted underneath the screw of one contact and both

brown tightened by the other. Make sure that the opposing colour wires do not

touch, as you will create a short and the appliance cannot be activated remotely.

VACPAN AUTOMATIC DUSTPAN: Do as above, cutting back the

sleeving. Loosen the two screws on the contacts towards the

back of the VacPan and wind one wire around each

contact screw and tighten again. Ensure that you have enough

length/ play in the cable to match the flexible pipe. This allows

the plinth of the kitchen unit to be removed if required. Details

of the size hole to cut in the plinth are included with the VacPan.

(2 if 2 cables)

PERSONAL CLOTHES BRUSH: Placed permanently above a wall inlet

where the cable needs to run up to the clothes brush connector

instead of the inlet. Drill a hole large enough to accommodate the

cable on the surface the clothes brush is to be mounted. Cut back

the sleeving and twist the 2 wires onto the 2 wires

on the back of the assembly. Insulate them with electrical tape

and screw assembly to the permanent surface.

(4 if 2 cables)

LOW VOLTAGE CABLE CONNECTION TO BEAM SPECIFIER APPLIANCE:

the low voltage terminals can be found to the rear left-hand side

of the appliance when it is mounted on the wall. Cut the tip of

the rubber boot with scissors, large enough to pass the cable

through. Cut back the sleevings as above. Crimp the terminals to

the stripped wires and push them into the appliance. Slide the

boot over the terminals onto the ring for a snug fit.

LOW VOLTAGE CABLE CONNECTION TO BEAM PLATINUM APPLIANCES:

Cut back the sleevings as mentioned above. Locate the speaker-

style low voltage terminals to the rear left-hand side of the

appliance. Hold-down the lever of each terminal and ensure that

each wire is inserted deep enough to be held firmly in place.
