Plug the VacPod module into a wall outlet with the
proper rating. Plug the vacuum you would like to
activate into the VacPod outlet.
Plug the ToolPod module into a different wall
outlet than the one with the VacPod to avoid too
much current being drawn on one circuit. Plug the
tool that will wirelessly activate the VacPod into
the ToolPod outlet. When current flow is sensed
through the ToolPod, a signal will be sent to the
VacPod to power the attached vacuum. Make sure
the plug has the proper rating for the tool used.
If you would like
more than one
ToolPod to
activate a single
VacPod, see the
training instruc-
tions below. One
ToolPod can also
activate multiple
VacPods.
Multiple ToolPod (or AirPod) modules
controlling one VacPod:
After the VacPod has been reset, the first time it
receives a wireless signal from a ToolPod, it will
automatically recognize that and only that ToolPod
that sent the signal. Each VacPod has the ability to
learn to operate with a specific set of wireless
ToolPod transmitters (up to 16).
For a VacPod to recognize multiple wireless
ToolPod transmitters, the following training
procedure must be followed. The training/reset
button is found on the face of the VacPod module
and must be depressed as instructed below.
Wireless training procedure:
1. Plug the VacPod 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 ToolPod transmitter by activating an
attached tool.
4. Once the VacPod is activated by allowing
electricity to pass, it is permanently trained to
that transmitting ToolPod. Note: A small click
should be heard when the VacPod activates.
5. As long as the button on the VacPod is
pressed, up to 16 transmitting ToolPods can be
associated with the VacPod. Release the train-
ing/reset button when training is completed.
Resetting VacPod:
The VacPod can be reset back to factory defaults
by executing the following reset procedure. In
factory default mode, the VacPod does not
recognize any wireless start modules. The first
time the VacPod receives a wireless signal, it
will automatically recognize that and only that
transmitting ToolPod.
Wireless reset procedure:
1. Without plugging the VacPod in, press in
the reset/training button until a small detent
is felt.
2. While still pressing in on the reset button,
plug the VacPod into the wall outlet.
3. The VacPod will now be in the factory shipped
state with no training, all previously recognized
devices will need to be retrained according to
the above training procedure.
One Wireless transmitter (ToolPod or AirPod)
controlling multiple VacPod modules:
It is possible for one ToolPod to control multiple
VacPods. To do this, reset all VacPods then
activate the ToolPod so it starts transmitting.
When the VacPods are plugged in, they will both
be trained to the first wireless signal received. In
this case, all VacPods will be trained to the single
ToolPod. If this condition is not desired, reset all
VacPods and train them to individual ToolPods.
Multiple transmitters (ToolPods and AirPods)
and Multiple VacPods:
It is possible for each VacPod to recognize 16
unique Transmitters (ToolPods and AirPods). This
can be achieved by systematically training one
VacPod with associated ToolPods, then moving on
to the next VacPod. Care must be taken while
training multiple VacPods to ensure that only one
module is being trained at a time along with only
one wireless transmitting module (ToolPod or
AirPod) being activated at a time.
Special instruction for an AirPod:
Installation:
Attach air hoses such that
air will flow from the in to
the out port as labeled.
Battery replacement:
The AirPod has 2 AAA
batteries installed. These batteries will need to be
replaced occasionally. The time between battery
changes will depend on actual use but normally
they should last at least 6 months to a year. When
air flows through the AirPod, the transmit light on
the face of the box will light up. This shows that
the device is transmitting. When this light stops
blinking when air is flowing, remove the 4 screws
on the face of the box and carefully replace the
batteries. Take care to not pull too hard on the
wires connected to the controller board.
