Electrically, how does the CS-8 connect to the VacPort Sweeper Pan? Does the CS-8 include wiring or wire terminal? FYI: Replacing my not working CS-8

Hey Ron, thanks for reaching out. The InterVac CS8 Vacuum Cleaner # IV88FR is powered by a standard 110/120V connection, either through its power cord or a hardwired connection, depending on the version. However, the VacPort Sweeper Pan is designed to connect to the CS-RM model # IV93FR, which has the remote-control connections needed to activate the vacuum. The CS-8 does not include those low-voltage terminals or the wiring for the VacPort.

For the CS-RM, the connection is pretty simple. A two-wire, 24V low-voltage cable runs from the VacPort's switch terminals to the two yellow pigtail wires on the back of the vacuum, with wire nuts securing the connections. InterVac includes a 6' low-voltage wire with the CS-RM. Since you're replacing an existing CS-8 that was connected to a VacPort, I'd double-check the model number on your original vacuum. If the VacPort automatically turned it on, there's a good chance you actually have a CS-RM or a different remote-compatible version.
