Did you have to program a remote to it when you bought it? I bet they are hard coded so every Ivac remote works with every receiver.
No issues I bet

Dust collection IVAC wiring scenario
Hey guys , as Herb mentioned , it would be a good practice to cut power to my Cyclone dust collector when a persons not in the shop .
I have an IVAC radio controlled system right now ,and it’s been flawless , well other than they only had the 15amp model in stock , and it kept blowing its breaker from inrush current .
I fixed that by adding a relay / contacter. I will have to rewire it for 240v , but no biggy .
Anyways my question is , if I have switched outlet to the IVAC control box , will it work ok after not being powered up for some time ?
If I have a switched outlet to it , then I won’t have to worry about false starts when I’m not home in case it went rogue .
But I’m wondering if anything would go wrong if it didn’t see power for a certain amount of time , as maybe it will do some kind of reset and forget it’s radio links ?
Maybe the best idea is to email the manufacturer of the IVAC .
I could in theory have the 120v trigger from the IVAC wired all the way back to the other end of my shop to a switch , and then go all the way back to the Relay at the IVAC .
This would leave the IVAC module with power all the time , but seems overly complicated.
Here’s the unit pictured here , and my switch with an indicator light to let me know it’s still got power .
I have the switch by my door , this way when I leave , I’ll notice it

I wasn’t going to have a kill switch to the system , but you’ve got me concerned , so I’m going to implement one .
I used this switch previously for my laser engraver , as I was paranoid about power bumps etc , but I’m going to use it for the DC now .
It’s very easy to see that it’s on . I bought the light that fit the plate at a local electrical place here .
