Default DC remote???

I know nothing about electrical loads, etc. so I bring this question to
the forum. Can those christmas light remote controls be used on dust
collectors? Presuming a 15A DC running on a 20A line, what are the
consequesnces of using an 8A remote? Thanks as always.

A fire?

Buy the right equipment for the job. You can get a Long Ranger or you can
get appliance modules from Smart Home. They have 22V modules also.

Early, even instantaneous, failure of the remote and possibly a fire.
False economy to save $50.

You would let the smoke out of it for sure.

Be sure to have a couple of working smoke detectors in the shop before
using those wimpy remotes.

Why not pick up a Shop Fox remote (price), or other remote intended for
the load of a DC?

Marv, that would be the Magic Black Smoke... ;-)

Another important consideration is that most of these Chinese
Christmas Light Remote things use a Triac for switching the lamps.
Not appropriate AT ALL for switching motor loads. They cost about
$3.00 to build, and are not worth every penny... g

FWIW,

X-10 3 prong tranceiver unit and a keychain remote will work great. I
believe the appliance module is the TM765 but not sure anymore.
