Would the 110V Shop Fox or the PSI Long Ranger remote work with the Harbor
Freight 100VAC Dust Collector? Each remote states 1.5hp and the Long Ranger
states 20amp peak.
Any experience using one of these (or another) with the Harbor Freight DC?

HF published specs are below.
Motor: 2 HP, 110V, 14 amps, single phase
Peak Current: 20amp
RPM = 3450
Air flow: 1600 CFM

These specs are often overstated and at least the PSI unit matches the 20amp
surge. I was wondering if anyone had hooked one up with no problems.

thanks!

Calling it 2hp doesn't make it 2hp. A cheap 14a motor is something less
than 1.5hp; so you ought to be fine.

Been using a Long Ranger on my HF DC for more than three years. Seems
to work fine.

Check out the X10 controller. It might be cheaper and more flexible.

I use mine for the DC, compressor, and various overhead lights.

The AM466 module is rated 15A 1/3 HP, but I have them
controlling a Jet DC1100C and a Sears 1/2 HP compressor.
No problems for a year. I keep wireless remotes at the
table saw and workbench by the shop door.

You are on borrowed time; it will go eventually.
Which is fine, if they are not too expensive; just regard them as
consumables.

I have been using my Long Ranger with my 1.5 HP Penn State DC for over
10 years and it is still going strong. I bought the Long Ranger after
converting the DC over to 240 volts. The Long Ranger comes in 120 or
240 volts, but not all DCs are convertable.
