This document describes the Moen ARC-4200 Garbage Disposal Air Switch Controller, an air-actuated on/off control system designed for use with food waste disposers.

Function Description:

The ARC-4200 system provides a convenient and safe way to control a garbage disposal. It consists of a control module, an air switch button, and air tubing. The control module plugs into a standard 120V household wall receptacle, and the garbage disposal then plugs into the receptacle provided on the control module. The air switch button, which can be mounted up to 10 feet away from the control module, uses air pressure transmitted through the air tubing to activate and deactivate the disposal. When the button is pressed, it sends an air pulse to the control module, which then toggles the power to the connected garbage disposal. This air-actuated design eliminates the need for electrical wiring near the sink, enhancing safety.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Electrical Rating: 120V/12 AMPS (1 HP) maximum.
  • Power Source: Plugs into a grounded 120V household wall receptacle.
  • Air Tubing Length: Includes 10 feet of 1/8-inch air tubing, allowing flexible placement of the air switch button.
  • Air Switch Button Hole Diameter: Requires a 1-3/8 inch diameter hole for mounting the air switch button in a standard sink hole or countertop.
  • Compatibility: Designed for use with food waste disposers.
  • Air Switch Button Models (Sold Separately): AS-4201-CH, AS-4201-SN, AS-4201-BR, AS-4201-WH, AS-4201-AL, AS401-BIS.

Usage Features:

  • Easy Installation: The system is designed for straightforward installation. The control module plugs directly into a wall outlet, and the disposal plugs into the module. The air switch button is mounted in a standard countertop or sinkhole, and the air tubing connects it to the control module.
  • Remote Operation: The air switch button can be mounted up to 10 feet away from the control module, offering flexibility in kitchen design and placement.
  • Safety: The air-actuated design means there are no electrical components directly at the sink or countertop, reducing the risk of electrical shock in wet environments. This is a key safety feature, especially compared to traditional electrical switches.
  • Simple Operation: To operate, simply press and release the air switch button to turn the disposal on, and press and release it again to turn the disposal off.
  • Button Finish Options: The air switch buttons are available in various finishes (e.g., Chrome, Spot Resist Nickel, Bronze, White, Aluminum, Biscuit) to match different kitchen decors. The button's ring can be reversed to change its finish if desired.
  • Drainage Orientation: The controller must be oriented to provide drainage of the electrical component compartment, which is a critical safety and longevity feature.

Maintenance Features:

  • Warranty: Moen warrants all parts of this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for one year from the date of purchase. A replacement for any defective part will be supplied free of charge. This warranty covers defects in material and workmanship but excludes damage due to installation error, product abuse, or misuse. It also does not cover labor charges or incidental/consequential damages.
  • Customer Support: Moen provides customer support for installation help, missing, or replacement parts. Contact information for USA, Mexico, and Canada is provided in the manual, including toll-free phone numbers and website addresses. For warranty claims, customers are advised to write to Moen, explaining the defect and including proof of purchase, name, address, and telephone number.

Safety Instructions Summary:

  • Installation must comply with national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Consulting a local code professional is recommended.
  • Do not exceed the electrical rating of the controller (120V/12 AMPS/1 HP) or the electrical supply.
  • Children should not use the product without close supervision.
  • Ensure the controller is oriented to allow drainage from the electrical component compartment.
  • A caution is noted that the disposal may start when the controller base is plugged in, so users should be aware of this during installation.
  • The garbage disposal and air switch button are sold separately from the ARC-4200 controller base.
