solenoids will operate. After the set time has expired, the
flow to the disposer will slow to one gallon per minute if
there is not food waste present in the grinding chamber.
The AS-101K Control Center is UL and CUL approved
for use with InSinkErator Foodservice Disposers. See
Table 1 for approved disposer and control center
combinations. The control center operates the disposer
and control center combinations. Its main functions are:
AUTOMATIC TIMED DISPOSER SHUTOFF
This water saving feature allows the disposer to run for
up to 10 minutes before it automatically shuts off and
must be manually restarted.
• To start and stop the disposer.
• To reverse the direction of the disposer motor
automatically upon restart.
NOTE: This feature is set in the manual position at
the factory. To activate the automatic timed disposer
shutoff, disconnect the electric power to the control
center, then open the control center door. Locate the
Dip Switch Module at the top of the printed circuit board
(see Figure 8). Move the #5 dip switch from MANUAL to
AUTOMATIC. The disposer now automatically shuts off
10 minutes after it starts.
• To start the water flow to the disposer.
• To regulate the amount of water needed for
operation. Two solenoid valves are used to control
high and low water flows.
• To allow water flow for several minutes to flush the
drain line after the disposer is turned off.

FEATURES
AUTOMATIC REVERSE
The disposer motor will reverse its direction of rotation
automatically upon restart. To avoid motor damage, a
five second delay feature prevents reversing while the
motor is coasting.
ENCLOSURE
NEMA 4 construction.
PUSH BUTTON OPERATION
Push Black button to start disposer.
Push Red button to stop disposer.
WATER SHUTOFF DELAY (POST FLUSH)
After the motor is turned off, the water continues to
flow for up to 10 minutes. The length of this post flush
is controlled by the water shutoff delay timer. The post
flush helps ensure that ground food waste is flushed out
of the drain line. Adjust water shutoff delay as described
in the operating instructions on page 8.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Use of more than two solenoid valves will affect the
overall function of the Aqua Saver systems. Extra
solenoid valves will cause a reduction in voltage
and solenoid actuation will not occur.
AUTOMATIC WATER REGULATION
This acts as an on-demand water saving system
for InSinkErator Foodservice Disposers. It senses the
load of the disposer, and regulates the amount of water
necessary for grinding and non-grinding situations.
This uses two solenoid valves.

WATER SHUTOFF DELAY ADJUSTMENT
Locate the water shutoff delay at the top of the printed
circuit board in the AS-101K (See Figure 8). Set the
dip switches for the desired water shut off delay. Use
the guide printed on the circuit board to set minutes of
delay. The dip switches should be moved to match the
filled-in areas of the guide.
1. Adjust the trip delay to mid-setting. This adjusts
the length of the time the water runs at full flow
after grinding is completed. Mid-setting is
approximately 15 seconds.
2. With the disposer running at high water flow:
a. Adjust the trip point control to maximum
position, the light is not illuminated.
b. Turn the trip point control counterclockwise
until the red fault light is illuminated, stop.
c. Turn the trip point control clockwise slowly,
stopping immediately when the red fault light
is no longer illuminated. Turn slightly
counterclockwise incrementally with the light
remaining off to assure you are at the exact set
point. To ensure sensitivity, the trip point must
be set at the exact point the light becomes no
longer illuminated.
NOTE: Water flow will decrease after trip delay time
setting expires.
Figure 8.
Example 1: Dip switches 1, 2, 3, 4 pushed to the down
position will give a 0 minute delay.
Example 2: Dip switches 1, 3, 4 pushed to the up
position; and dip switch 2 pushed to the
down position will give a 10 minute delay.
AUTOMATIC TIMED DISPOSER SHUTOFF
