How To
Turn it On/Off
Use the switch labelled as such on the wall of the furnace room by the ShopBot.
There is also a wireless remote. It's yellow and is usually near the ShopBot. The SawStop has a switch box as well.
Hey, it won't turn off!
As of 5-26-15 this has occurred twice. Toggling the switch on the control box seems to get it working. Please notify the mail list if this happens.
The Ivac switch box that is located on the SawStop has a three position switch. Auto/Off/On. If it is in the on position the the dust collector cannot be turned off by the remote control or the wall switch. If the dust collector is running, switching to the off position is subject to the same off time delay (7 seconds as of 5/26/15) as the automatic setting or remote control off.
Make sure the Sawstop isn't running then make sure the switch is set to auto or off, wait 7 seconds. Still running? Try the wall switch by the ShopBot. Still running? Set the switch on the Ivac control box (above the DC) to off. Notify the mailing list.
Empty It
Follow the instructions printed on stickers on the lid of the waste bin.

Wiring
The wall switch near the boiler room is SPDT. It is wired to alternately energize either the magnetic starter directly or energize the outlet that the IVac control box is plugged into. Both are located on the wall above the collector.
The magnetic starter is wired in an unconventional manner. It does not provide protection from over heating or protection from motor automatic restart following power loss and restoration. In addition only 2 of the 3 fuse positions have fuses, the third is bypassed.
The Dust Monitor
Due to excess dust being a health issue, there is a Dust Monitoring project that should be pursued.
