PSI Woodworking LR220-3 220-Volt Long Ranger 3 Dust Collector Switch

PSI Woodworking LR220-3 220-Volt Long Ranger 3 Dust Collector Switch Review


Introduction

The PSI Woodworking Long Ranger 3 (LR220-3) is the 220V version of the popular Long Ranger remote switch. If your shop runs on 220V power for your dust collector and larger equipment, this remote gives you the same convenience as the 110V version — control your dust collector from anywhere in your shop without making the long walk.

The Problem (You Probably Know This One)

No matter if you have a small home shop or a full commercial setup, the dust collector switch is always somewhere you aren’t. Quick cuts become a hassle because you have to walk over, turn it on, walk back, make your cut, walk all the way back to turn it off, then walk to your next task.

Most woodworkers end up just leaving their dust collector running all day — wasting energy and money. Or they skip using it altogether for those short cuts, which defeats the whole purpose. Neither option is good.

Pro Tip: This works with powerful dust collectors like the JET DC-1100.


The Solution: Long Ranger 3 Remote

The Long Ranger 3 remote switch solves this in seconds. Clip the remote to your tool belt, and you can turn your dust collector on and off from up to 50 yards away. It works through walls, so you don’t even need a direct line of sight.

✅ Easy installation — no complex wiring required
✅ Helps reduce energy consumption by making it easy to turn off when not in use

❌ Remote requires batteries


110V vs 220V: Which One Do You Need?

This is the big caveat with the LR220-3: it’s wired for 220V circuits. If your shop only has standard 110V outlets, you need the LR110-3 110V version instead.

Here’s the quick breakdown:

  • LR110-3 (110V): For shops with standard 110V dust collectors, up to 1.5 HP
  • LR220-3 (220V): For shops with 220V dust collectors, up to 2.5 HP

Final Verdict

The PSI Woodworking Long Ranger 3 LR220-3 gets 4 out of 5 stars. It loses a point simply because it’s specifically for 220V setups — if your shop isn’t wired for 220V, this isn’t the right unit for you.

But if you do have 220V power, this remote switch is a game-changer. It makes using your dust collector so much easier that you’ll actually use it for every cut, not just the long ones. Your lungs — and your energy bill — will thank you.

Pro Tip: For complete workshop dust control, add an air filtration system.
