Radio remote control system
Operation of the remote radio control system
may be limited or fully impeded by cellar
floors made of reinforced concrete or if radio-
blocking materials (e.g. metal rib mesh, floor
heating with metal pipes, metal wall or ceiling
cladding) are used.
Remote radio control of the central vacuum
unit can be made possible in buildings with
radio-transmission limiting properties by
carrying out the following measures:
■ Place the radio receiver unit of the central
vacuum unit in the cellar hallway or
stairway. A 5 m connection cable is
available for this purpose.
■ If this is not possible or insufficient on the
customer side, the remote radio control
system can be supported by the use of a
repeater (see Chap. 5.8, Page 27).
The repeater can also be used when
upgrading existing systems.
■ Working frequency: 434 MHz, rolling-code
method
The REHAU-VACUCLEAN central
vacuum cleaner system was designed for
vacuuming household dust in buildings.
When using REHAU-VACUCLEAN in
commercial buildings or multi-family
dwellings with larger areas or several
floors, please contact our applications
department for consultation.
➜ Observe all national regulations when
using the remote radio control system
and the notes in this technical
information.
