Optional added features 

The AD 1500 iQ can be configured to suit customer 
specification. These optional extras would be discussed, 
arranged and installed prior to delivery.  
(

If unsure what features your iQ system is equipped with 

please contact the seller with the unit serial number, 

(Refer to section 

2

 for location) 

who will be able to advise 

what specification has been supplied.

 

 

Remote Stop/Start feature 

Enables the extraction unit to be remotely turned On / Off 
via an external signal. 
This feature can be configured in 3 ways 

 

DC Voltage input – Range 12-24VDC 

 

Volt free input – Open / Closed contacts 

 

Override – Stop / Start feature switched off 

Note: Care must be taken to ensure that the system is 
correctly wired in order for the extraction unit to function 
correctly. 

DC Voltage input 

This configuration requires the Black & Red cores of the 
signal cable (Refer to section 

1

 

for location) to be connected 

to a known and tested DC power supply, in order to start the 
extractor. 
 
The operating voltage for this signal is between 12 & 
24VDC. Only voltages within this range should be 
connected. Voltages connected outside of this range may 
cause irreversible damage to the internal control PCB. 

Red cable = V+ 
Black cable = V- 

When the extractor is provided with the correct DC voltage 
the motor will start and maintain the set flow rate (Refer to 
section 

5

 for how to set the flow) when the DC voltage is 

removed the motor will slow down and come to a stop. 
 

The extractor will need to be turned on and be out of 
standby mode (See section 

5

 

for turning the extractor on) in 

order for this feature to operate. 

Volt free input 

This configuration requires the Black & Red cores of the 
signal cable (see section 

1

 

for location) to be connected 

together, in order to start the extractor. 

When the 2 cables are connected together the motor will 
start and maintain the set flow rate (see section 

5

 for how to 

set the flow)  
when the 2 cables are disconnected the motor will slow 
down and come to a stop. 

The extractor will need to be turned on and be out of 
standby mode (See section 

5

 

for turning the extractor on) in 

order for this feature to operate. 

Override 

Enables the extractor to operate fully with or without either 
DC voltage input or the Volt free input. 
The override feature can be toggled On / Off by a switch 
mounted on the internal motor access panel (see below for 
switch location)  
 

Switch in “On” position 

In this position the extractor will require a start signal (either 
Voltage input or Volt free, depending on the requested 
specification) to enable the motor within the extraction unit. 

Switch in “Off” position 

In this position the extractor motor will run without the 
requirement for an external start signal. This feature is 
useful for engineers carrying out works/ tests on the 
extractor without the need for the laser / auxiliary signal 
being present.
