iVAC Automated Switch Box SB-NA Safe Plug-and-Play Tool and Vacuum Control

The iVAC Automated Switch Box SB-NA is a compact, safety-forward solution for workshops that run power tools alongside dust collection. It sits between the tool and the vacuum, coordinating both loads with a simple plug-and-play design. The result is a cleaner setup, reliable startup behavior, and a clearer path to safer workflows without reconfiguring existing cords or outlets.

Key benefits at a glance

• Three operating modes Auto Off On for flexible control
• Deliberate start with a 0.5 to 2 second turn-on delay to reduce startup surges
• Deliberate stop with a ~6 second turn-off delay to help clear lingering dust
• Dual circuit option supports two 15A circuits when tool and vacuum exceed a single 15A load
• Built-in 15A circuit breakers on both tool and vacuum cords for added protection
• Plug-and-play setup with no tools or wiring required
• Turn-on delay and turn-off delay are adjustable within specified ranges for tailored control
• Certified safety with TUV approval and UL 244A and CSA STDC22.2 No 14 compliance
• Helps reduce nuisance trips and manage dust more effectively in busy shops

Real-world use in your shop

In practical woodworking or metalworking environments, Auto mode lets your vacuum start automatically as soon as the tool powers up, while the stop delay gives dust a moment to settle before everything powers down. The option to run two 15A circuits ensures you can manage higher combined loads without overloading a single line. The plug-and-play design means you can improve power coordination without rewiring outlets or running new cords, helping keep work zones tidy and focused.

No tools are required for setup, so you can move between projects with minimal downtime. A clean, organized layout reduces cable clutter and supports safer, more predictable tool usage and dust control routines.

Safety, certifications, and practical notes

The SB-NA carries important safety certifications that are relevant for US and Canadian markets. With built-in protection for both tool and vacuum cords and the option to run two 15A circuits, the device is designed to add a layer of electrical reliability to your workflow while keeping the setup straightforward.

What you can expect in everyday use

Think smoother startup sequences, fewer nuisance trips, and better dust management when the switch box sits between your tool and vacuum. These potential improvements are driven by coordinated power delivery, controlled startup and shutdown, and practical safety features.

Note that outcomes depend on your specific equipment, wiring, and project demands. The SB-NA is designed to offer meaningful improvements in safety and workflow for compatible tools and vacuums.
