W1816 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 10/09)
OPERATIONS
Basic Controls
Magnetic Switch
Refer to Figure 32 and the descriptions below to become
familiar with the operation of the magnetic switch.
A. Timer Indicator Lights: Turns ON when that timer
setting is selected.
B. Infrared Port: Receives infrared communication from
the remote control.
C. ON/OFF Button: Starts/stops the dust collector
motor.
D. Timer Button: Cycles through the available timer
settings.
E. Power Light: Indicates when there is power flowing
to the magnetic switch.
F. Run Light: Illuminates when the dust collector motor
is operating.
G. Start Switch: Enables/disables the power flow to the
magnetic switch and must turned ON before using
ON/OFF button.
H. Overload Light: Turns ON when the dust collector is
overloaded and the motor has stopped.
Note: If the overload light illuminates and the motor
stops, you must disconnect the machine from power
and allow the motor to cool. The overload relay
should reset automatically and the light will go out.
If this is a persistent problem, open the magnetic
switch and make sure the amperage dial on the face
of the overload relay is set at 25 (refer the Wiring
Diagram illustration on Page 41 for location). If
necessary, resolve any other cause of the problem
(refer to the Troubleshooting section on Page 39 for
additional help).

Remote Control
The remote control for the Model W1816
(see Figure 33) uses infrared (IR) to
communicate with the magnetic switch
rather than radio frequency (RF). This
prevents accidental startup of the dust
collector by other common devices that
use radio frequencies, such as garage door
openers. Because the remote control must
have a direct line-of-sight path between
the devices, you must point the remote
control directly at the switch to make it
operate.
If you plan on placing your dust collector
in a different room or outside of your
shop, you must mount the switch in the
shop and wire it through the wall to the
dust collector to make use of the remote
control.
Note: The remote control requires two AA
batteries for operation.
