6. Операция
The Dometic 385310540 Vacuum Switch operates automatically within your VacuFlush system. Its primary function is to monitor the vacuum pressure within the system's vacuum tank. When the pressure drops below a predetermined threshold (indicating a flush or a leak), the switch activates the vacuum pump. Once the desired vacuum level is restored, the switch deactivates the pump, maintaining an efficient and ready-to-flush system.
Proper operation of the vacuum switch is crucial for the VacuFlush system to function correctly, ensuring waste is efficiently removed and odors are contained.
