3 Tool Plus (TP) / Tool Advantage (TA)
TP/TA is used to identify the powered on state of it’s associated power tool.
TP/TA is physically clamped to the power cord of the power tool.
The method of detecting the status of the power tool is by means of sensing the
magnetic field around the power cord when the power tool is turned on or off.
TP/TA is powered by +5VDC. This power is obtained from either a UL FCC ap-
proved AC to DC 5volt USB adaptor, or an associated ‘iVAC Pro System’ unit.
If a TP/TA is in the Auto Mode when the associated power tool is powered on, the
TP/TA will transmit an instruction, by means of a digital wireless signal, to the
‘iVAC Pro Switch’, “iVAC Pro MSC” or “iVAC Pro MSC Advantage” instructing
it to turn on and apply power to the Dust Collector.
When the power tool has been turned off, TP/TA will transmit an instruction to the
‘iVAC Pro Switch’, “iVAC Pro MSC” or “iVAC Pro MSC Advantage” telling it
to turn off.
The range for radio communications between the TP/TA and the ‘iVAC Pro
Switch’, “iVAC Pro MSC” or “iVAC Pro MSC Advantage” is forty feet.
When mounting the ‘iVAC Pro units’ they should not be mounted on large metal
objects, since this can affect the communication range.
