In the process of seting up a basement shop and working on laying out dust collection. I have decided on a Grizzly G0440 2hp cyclone and will run duct to it but my question is about remotes.

I plan to build a separate room to hosue the DC and my compressor so there will not be line-of-sight for the sensor to "see" the IR remote. Suggestions?

I have previously used X10 home controllers for my shop vac but this unit will be on 220 switch. Should I try to locate the switch outside the enclosed room so that the remote can see it, or is there another method that works with 220v systems?

Thanks

Joel
