WX-101A Control Features/Mounting Control Center The WX-101A Control Center is UL® approved for use with InSinkErator Waste Xpress food waste reduction systems. The control center operates the disposer and Waste Xpress. Its main functions are: • To start and stop the disposer/Waste Xpress system. • To reverse the direction of the disposer motor automatically upon restart. • To start the water flow to the disposer. • To allow water flow for several minutes to flush the drain line after the disposer is turned off.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK • Ensure that Waste Xpress voltage and phase match that of the electrical supply, control center & disposer. Check nameplate for specification. • Electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician and should comply with all local codes. • Turn off electrical supply to Waste Xpress, control center & disposer before attempting to work on it. Test with a volt meter or circuit tester to ensure that power is off. • Do not operate unit with panels removed. • All components (disposer, WX, control center and solenoids) must be carefully and permanently grounded. • A properly fused disconnect must be installed at Waste Xpress, control center & disposer electrical supply source. • Use only NEMA 4 watertight electrical connectors when connecting to junction box. MOUNTING THE CONTROL CENTER Use the flanges at the back of the control center enclosure and only mount panel in the upright vertical position (door hinge is on the left). See Figure 4. Locate control center within sight of disposer per local codes. If box is mounted to the sink table, recess the box so that the buttons do not extend beyond the table's edge (see Figure 4). 9 7/8" 8 1/4" 5 1/4" 15 1/8" 15 3/4" 14" Figure 4.
