Plug the Wireless ToolSync W Receiver
module into a wall outlet with the proper
rating. Plug the tool you would like to activate
into the outlet on the ToolSync W Receiver
module. If more than one transmitter
module is part of the system, see the
training instructions below.
Wireless Remote Start Operation:
There are several types of wireless start
modules available. The pneumatic wireless start
module (ToolSync A) is plugged inline with the
air hose supplying air to a tool. When air flows,
a wireless signal is transmitted to the vacuum to
signal it to turn on. When the air flow stops, the
vacuum is signaled to turn off after about a 6
second delay. The Electric wireless start module
(ToolSync E) works in the same way as the
ToolSync A module except it plugs into a power
outlet and measures current flow to signal the
vacuum to operate. There is also a hand-held
remote transmitter that will alternately activate
and deactivate the receiver module. All remote
start modules have a red blinking light that
signals the unit is transmitting.
Note for ToolSync E electric
wireless start modules:
When using large amperage devices and the
ToolSync E modules, it is important to plug
the tool into a different circuit than that of the
vacuum to avoid tripping a circuit breaker.
Note for ToolSync A Pneumatic wireless
start modules:
The ToolSync A module can send false signals
if excessively jarred. It is best to mount the
module on a wall or onto the hard lines. All
ToolSync A modules are shipped without air
fittings. The fittings on the module are a 3/8”
FNPT tapered. Any fitting desired can be
attached with pressures up to 150 psi. The
ToolSync A module requires 2 AAA batteries.
The module is shipped with these batteries
installed and should last many months with
normal use. When the transmit light stops
blinking when air is flowing, remove the 4
screws on the module case to open the unit
and replace the batteries.
Multiple wireless start modules:
The first time the ToolSync W module
receives a wireless signal, it will
automatically recognize that and only that
device that send the signal. Each ToolSync W
has the ability to learn to operate on a
specific set of wireless start modules (up to
16). For a ToolSync W to recognize multiple
wireless start modules, the following training
procedure must be followed. The
training/reset button is found on the face of
the ToolSync W module and must be
depressed as instructed below.
Wireless training procedure:
1. Plug the ToolSync W module into the wall.
2. Press the training/reset button until a
small detent is felt. Hold the switch in the
depressed position for the next step.
3. Send a wireless signal to the unit from a
remote ToolSync device.
4. Once the vacuum turns on, it is
permanently trained to that device.
5. As long as the button is pressed, up to
16 devices can be associated with the
vacuum. Release button when training
is completed
The ToolSync W module can also be reset
back to factory defaults by executing the
following reset procedure. In factory default
mode, the module does not recognize any
wireless start modules. The first time the
module receives a wireless signal, it will
automatically recognize that and only
that device.
Wireless reset procedure:
1. Without plugging the device in, press in
the reset/training button until a small
detent is felt.
2. While still pressing in on the reset button,
plug the module into the wall.
3. The unit will now be in the factory
shipped state with no trained devices,
all previously recognized devices will need
to be retrained according to the above
training procedure.
One Wireless Start module controlling
multiple ToolSync W receiver modules:
It is possible for one wireless start module
to control multiple ToolSync W modules. To
do this, reset both ToolSync W modules,
activate the remote start module so it starts
transmitting, then turn the ToolSync W
modules on. They will be trained to the first
wireless signal received. If this condition is
not desired, reset both modules and train
them to individual wireless start modules.
Multiple ToodSync W Receiver and
Multiple Wireless Start Modules:
It is possible for each ToolSync W module to
recognize 16 unique Start modules. This can
be achieved by systematically training one
ToolSync W receiver with associated wireless
start modules, then moving on to the next
ToolSync W Receiver. Care must be taken
when training multiple ToolSync W Receivers
to ensure that only one Receiver is being
trained at a time along with only one wireless
start module being activated at a time.
