2.2 Selecting a location for
the vacuum sockets The vacuum sockets should be located as follows:
– In easily accessible locations
– Near light switches or door frames
– Never behind a door
– At a height of approx. 30-40 cm
– At a height of approx. 90-100 cm
- Beyond the reach of children
- Similar height to sockets and light switches
– As a floor vacuum socket; ensure that the vacuum socket is loca-
ted near the wall in order to minimise the risk of tripping
Take care not to damage electrical cables when drilling the holes
that are required in the wall.
Additional vacuum sockets are always available from your ALTO
dealer if required.
Measure action radius
The suction hose and the telescopic tube are approximately 10m
long when combined. Please assume a working distance of 9 m for
safety.
1. Draw circles to scale on the ground plan of your property with a
compass (radius of 9m), starting at the corners.
Select a location for a vacuum socket in the wall or the floor within
the area inside the arcs.
2. If you have a large property, divide the area of your ground plan
into several sections and use the same method.
When selecting the locations of the vacuum sockets, consider
the fact that furniture or other fixed installations may have a
considerable influence on the distances that the hoses have to
travel!
Tips + Tricks:
• In most cases it is advisable not
to install vacuum sockets in isola-
ted rooms.
Instead, buy a suction hose ex-
tension from the ALTO accessory
range, which will increase your
working range considerably.
• To check your distances cut a
length of thread to scale (hose
length) and place on your plan.
Check whether you can comfor-
tably reach every corner, taking
furniture positions into conside-
ration.
• In existing buildings, cut a piece
of string to the original length and
simulate the hose when selecting
vacuum socket positions.
