3 General Description

The ‘iVAC Pro Remote’ operates in conjunction
with an ‘iVAC Pro Switch’ and enables a dust
collector to be controlled remotely, by means of a
manual operation.
When the ON button is pressed, a radio
frequency transmission is sent to the ‘iVAC Pro
Switch’ instructing it to turn on and provide
power to the dust collector. When the OFF button
is pressed, the power will be removed from the
dust collector.
To ensure consistent operation, it is
recommended that the buttons are operated for
one to two seconds.
The ‘iVAC Pro Remote’ can be programmed
by means of an internal DIP Program Switch to

operate on one of four System Addresses and
one of eight Tool Addresses, similar to an ‘iVAC
Pro Tool’. (Refer to iVAC Pro System User Guide

supplied with the iVAC Pro Switch)

The iVAC Pro Remote is housed in a plastic case
90mm x 70mm x 25mm.
An easily attached belt clip is also provided.
The rear cover is attached by three screws.
Removing the cover allows access to the
batteries and the DIP Program Switch.
This allows the batteries to be changed and
also to program address functions of the ‘iVAC
Pro Remote’ by means of the six position DIP
Program Switch.
There are two address functions, System Address
and Tool Address.

4 System Address

A System consists of an’ iVAC Pro Switch’ and
from one to eight iVAC Pro Tools or iVAC Pro
Remotes. There can be any mix of Tools or
Remotes.
By means of positions S1 and S2 of the DIP
Program Switch, the Remote can be assigned to
work on one of four System Addresses, A, B, C
or D.
The System Address enables up to four
Systems to operate independently while within
communication range of each other.

Each iVAC Pro Remote or iVAC Pro Tool must
be assigned an independent one of eight Tool
Addresses. This information is used by the iVAC
Pro Switch to enable it to know the status of each
individual iVAC Pro Tool or iVAC Pro Remote in
the System. The Tool Address is set by means of
positions S3, S4 and S5 of the Program Switch.
S6 is not used.

When replacing CR2032 batteries, both batteries
should be replaced at the same time. The
