iVac Pro Switch Wireless Dust Collection Controller-240V 20A

Worked great with my shop equipment, it is nice just flipping the switch on the tablesaw or planer and my dust collector comes on. One of the few solutions I could find for my Grizzly G0548ZP Dust Collector. This is rated for 240 volts.

This item works as advertised. Does the same job as the incredibly more expensive EcoGate system. 1/20th of the cost! Easy to install - works every time with no issues.

I've been using this system for a while now and I am pleased with how it works.I bought a 240/20/switch, a 120/20/tool and 3 240/20/tools. They all work well.Every 240 power tool I've ever bought came with a horizontal straight blade plug. The 240/20/switch came with this type of plug; I plugged it into the wall, then plugged the dust collector into the 240/20/switch; great! I plugged the 120/20/tool into the wall socket, then plugged a tool into it; Bravo! instant dust collection just like you would expect! I was a happy camper.However, installation went downhill from there. When I opened the three 240/20/tool units I discovered that they were fitted with a different type of plug; one blade horizontal and one blade vertical. Although I was able to plug a 240 machine into the 240/20/tool unit, I was unable to plug the 240/20/tool unit into the wall plug. In order to use the three 240/20/tool units I had to have the three wall plugs changed. Those plugs are rather expensive and if you need an electrician to install them, it becomes a considerable cost.I definitely wasn't pleased about this. It seems strange that one unit had the plug I would expect, and the other three didn't. If I hadn't already installed the first two units before I discovered this I would most likely have sent everything back.I realize that there is a huge variety of different plug configurations and that the one on the 240/20/tool unit is opposite to the ones conventionally used for 120/20 amp plugs. I was somewhat shocked though, when on the shelf at Home Depot there were two identical plug socket configurations; one that fit the 240/20/tool switch and an identical looking one for 120/20 amps. The only way to tell the difference was to closely examine the tiny print on the yellow plastic casings. I don't have anything 120 that would plug into my 240 sockets (this would cause some serious damage) but I clearly marked the sockets in the shop for 240 only. I view this as a very serious flaw.Despite my grievances with iVacs choice of plugs, I am very happy with the way the system works. Just be wary of these pitfalls.
