is vacuum power switch included?

No. The pump has an internal vacuum regulating switch but to power the pump you can either power it through the ignition switch or a separate switch. Mine is powered by a relay piloted by the ignition switch.

yes the switches are included with the unit. Had mine for a little over a year works great

It has a 3-way rocker switch, Center-OFF, To the Right of Center-Turns on the vacuum ONLY, To the LEFT of Center-Turns on the Vacuum AND the Power Head brush motor & light if connected. (the Left & Right may be opposite in said operations). There is NO Power Lock it is just like a light switch, it could be bumped either into the ON position OR into the OFF position from either state of operation.

Yes there is. I bought a "universal" power supply which could be switched to various voltages, and that had several different plugs for various receptacles. The unit I bought is sold here on Amazon.com and is the Velleman PSSMV1USA 3-12 volt switching power supply.

No-the hose/vacuum port, release valve, and pressure guage are all-in-one...a bit of a design flaw I'm afraid.

Are you referring to the transmission engage pedal on the back of the vacuum?

Yes, the brand does not matter. It simply controls the power with the vaccum switch

Overall, I'm not sure, however, if you have a Radio shack, take it to them, and they may help you find a universal adapter that may work. The main thing is to have the correct jack to go into the vacuum, and the correct power converter. I know this is general, but it will give you a start.

No, this model uses a pail. It turns on either via a button switch on the side of the unit or by a remote switch on the vacuum handle. To use this kind of switch you must have the proper type of central vacuum installation. Basically, there is a set of wires that run through the hose and contact metal plates in the wall plates of the system. The wall plates are connected to wires in the wall that then run to where your central vacuum is located.

The red "on" switch has to be held up the entire time the vacuum services are required. Once released, the vacuum does not continue functioning. I've checked the instruction pamphlet several times but am unable to find anything to the contrary.

Yes, there is a utility port on the right hand side to directly connect a vacuum hose. I use it to with my car kit as the unit is mounted in the garage. As far as the inlet/outlet, they must be behind the unit going into the wall, I don't see any outlets except for the utility one.

Your question spurred me into trying it out. I set up multiple tools on an outlet strip and each one, when powered up, started the vacuum. Looking at the instructions, they hinted at multiple tools. No problems were noted when running multiple tools. Thanks for the question; it has expanded my use of this great switch.

I do not think this version is. Good news is..There is a 240V version offered! I first saw the unit at Lee Valley tools. They offer both the 115 @ 240V versions. Amazon has a better price. I love the device. It functions exactly as described. My Vacuum switch was difficult to get to. Now I don't even have to think about it...automatic, worth every penny. The only critisism I would give is that the mounting tabs are not all to stout. Has not been a problem however because I have it mounted out of harms way. I highly recomend this device :)

The pump has a pressure switch that will automatically turn it on and off as needed to maintain vacuum.

Be sure the vacuum is unplugged. There should be 2 or 4 screws (i forget) in the back. Once removed the switch cover falls forward revealing the switch. The switch just slides out of its channel. Remove the two wires and reconnect to the new switch. Slide the new switch back in the channel and install switch cover back on. Plug in and give it a try!

Probably not. This item is rated only up to 3 amps and any full-sized vacuum cleaner is going to draw considerably more current than that. (The description for this switch should probably say "small appliance" but even that might run afoul of things like coffee pots and toasters.)
