3 General Description
The ‘Tool HP’ has been designed to enable high powered
tools to be interfaced into the ‘iVAC Pro System’.
High power tools are those power tools that have high start up
surge currents or require more than 20Amps operating
current. It also includes power tools that operate at voltages
above 230Vac or are wired for three phase operation.
There are three main items to the ‘Tool HP’.
‘Tool HP’ module.
Clip On Current Transformer and cable.
AC Adaptor. 115Vac to 23Vac 0.2A UL/CSA Approved
In order to detect when a power tool is in operation the Clip
On Current Transformer is clipped onto one of the current
carrying power leads to the power tool. There is no electrical
connection; it is purely a magnetic pick up. This may require
access to a distribution box. (As shown in Fig. 3)
When the power tool is turned on or off, the ‘Tool HP’ will
transmit an On or Off signal to the ‘iVAC Pro Switch’, which
in turn controls a dust collector.
Active Current threshold; this is the level of current to the
power tool that will cause the ‘Tool HP’ to identify that the
power tool is active. This threshold is adjustable from 0.5
Amps to 3.5 Amps.

4 Set Up
The ‘Tool HP’ is powered from a 115Vac AC Adaptor. The
output from the adaptor plugs into the power jack on the
top surface of the ‘Tool HP’.
The Clip On Current Transformer should be clipped
around ONE of the current carrying conductors that
powers the power tool. (Live or Neutral but not Ground).
Care should be taken to ensure that there is no dirt or
foreign material on the two polished surfaces of the Clip
On Current Transformer as it is closed. The clip should be
fully closed and then latched.
The plug from the Clip On Current Transformer plugs into
the Current Transformer jack of the ‘Tool HP’.

5 Modes of Operation

7 System Address
A System consists of an ‘iVAC Pro Switch’ and up to eight
‘iVAC Pro Tools’ that are intended to work together.
By means of the Program Switch, the ‘iVAC Pro Tool’ can
be assigned to work on one of four System Addresses,
A, B, C or D. The System Address is to enable up to
four systems to operate independently while within
communication range of each other.

9 Tool Address
Each ‘iVAC Pro Tool’ must be assigned an independent

used by the ‘iVAC Pro Switch’ to enable it to know the
status of each individual tool in a system. The Tool
Address is set by means of the Program Switch

10 Active Current Threshold
Active Current is that current at which the ‘Tool HP’
identifies that the power tool has been turned on. The
Active Current can be set by means of an adjustment
between 0.5Amps to 3.5 Amps
In some power tools there is a standing current to power
such items as an on board computer. A rear panel
adjustment on the ‘Tool HP’ allows the Active Current
Threshold to be set above that of the standing current.
Access to a sensitivity adjustment is available through the
base of the unit.
11 Active Current LED Indicator
An LED indicator identifies when an active current is being
detected.
This indicator is for use in the Auto Mode only.
Set Mode Switch to Auto. With the power tool not
operating, set the adjustment fully counter clockwise and
then adjust clockwise until the LED indicator just turns off.
Note, the LED may already be off in the fully counter
clockwise position.
When the power tool is turned on the LED should turn on.
