JDS 15001 Dust-Gate Start-Up Kit 220V

by JDS

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The JDS Dust-Gate system is designed to turn on your dust collector when you open the Dust-Gate to a wood-working machine, and turn off your dust collector when the gate is closed. The switches on all Dust-Gates are wired to the Central Control Box in parallel so that when any of your gates are opened, the dust collector turns on. If several gates are open, the dust collector will not turn off until all gates are closed. The low voltage switches in the system activate a Central Control Box that turns on the dust collector. Simply plug the Central Control Box into the proper electrical outlet, and then plug the dust collector into the Control Box.We have a 110V model for up to 1.5 HP Dust Collectors, and a 220V model for up to 3 HP Dust Collectors (single phase only). Our Start-Up Kit includes: 1 Dust-Gate, 1 Central Control Box, and 100 ft. of low voltage wire. Our Expansion Kit includes: 2 Dust-Gates, and 100 ft. of low voltage wire.

This review is from: JDS 15001 Dust-Gate Start-Up Kit 220V (Tools & Home Improvement)

If you have a very limited number of tools hooked up and your ducting is 4" all along, this gadget is for you. It is relatively easy to install despite the poor documentation.

However, If you have a more complex installation, I would not recommend it. There is no bigger diameter blast get avaialble.

It is possible if you have some basic electrical skills to setup the system to work with tools that have more than one blast gate between them and the dust collector but this becomes very clunky to install.

This review is from: JDS 15001 Dust-Gate Start-Up Kit 220V (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have these blast gates hooked up to 6 different tools and I am very pleased how they perform. First off, they are very easy to install. If you can read a diagram you can install this with no problems. I have them hooked up the 3 hp dust force by JDS and together they make and outstanding dust collection system. I used 4" sewer and drain PVC and the connections are very easy. Since I use my dust collector as a central unit it saves me alot of time by not having to walk back and forth from the dust collector to turn it on and off. I would recommend this to anyone.
