iVAC Pro Switch, 115Vac, 20A
The heart of the iVAC Pro automated dust control system. Automatically turns on your shop vacuum or dust collector when you turn on a tool that is connected to the iVAC system via an iVAC Pro Tool Plus, or an iVAC Pro Remote. Each iVAC Pro Switch can accept signals from up to 8 different tools to form a system. Up to 4 iVAC Pro systems can operate independently in the same workshop. 115V/20A.
Automated Dust Control for the Most Demanding Workshops
Each iVAC Pro Switch can accept signals from up to 8 different tools to form a system – more than enough for the typical workshop. And up to 4 iVAC Pro systems can operate independently in the same workshop. Tools can be stationary, such as a cabinet saw, or hand held, such as a sander or router. In fact any tool that has a dust collection port can be used with an iVAC system.
Installation is simple and involves plugging the unit into an outlet and connecting the shop vacuum or dust collector to the iVAC Pro Switch. Each power tool requires an IVAC Pro Tool or iVAC Pro Tool Plus automatic sensor to communicate with the iVAC Pro Switch.
Each iVAC Switch can be controlled by up to 8 power tools (iVAC interface required for each power tool)
iVAC Pro Switch Features
Variable Turn Off time, by means of a Program Switch that can be set to 5 seconds, 15 seconds, or 45 seconds. Allows surface debris to be cleared once the tool is turned off by leaving the vacuum on.
Turn On Delay of 1.5 seconds to avoid power surges and tripped breakers.
Multi-Switch Capability allows up to four independent iVAC Pro switches to operate in the same or adjacent workshops. This feature has proved valuable in wood working school environments and professional shops.
Available in several power variants to accommodate 115V-15A, 115V-20A and 240V-20A circuits and shop vacuums up to 2 horsepower (hp). For applications requiring vacuums with higher hp up (to 10 hp), an iVAC Contactor unit is available.
