Its sleek blue finish complements the modern aesthetic of industrial workstations while providing intuitive control over your cleaning system.

Key Design Features

• Compact Dimensions: Measuring just 2.5 cm by 20.0 cm by 10.0 cm, the remote fits comfortably in any hand and can be easily carried or mounted on a workbench.
• Ergonomic Shape: The rounded edges and lightweight construction reduce fatigue during prolonged use, making it ideal for both short tasks and extended cleaning sessions.
• Blue Color Coding: The distinctive blue color not only enhances visibility in a busy workshop but also aligns with Festool’s product line for easy identification of compatible accessories.

Bluetooth Connectivity

The remote operates via Bluetooth® 4.0, ensuring a stable and low‑latency connection to any Festool dust extractor module that supports Bluetooth connectivity. Pairing is straightforward: activate the remote, enable Bluetooth on the dust extractor, and follow the on‑screen prompts to establish a secure link.

Compatibility Overview

The 202098 Remote Control is engineered to work seamlessly with a range of Festool dust extraction units:

• CT26, CT36, and CT48 mobile dust extractors
• Cleantec mobile dust extractors equipped with Bluetooth modules
• Any other Festool dust extractor that incorporates the CT‑F I Bluetooth module

Because it is a bare unit, no additional hardware is required beyond the standard Bluetooth receiver that comes pre‑installed in compatible models.

Functional Capabilities

• Power On/Off: Toggle the dust extractor’s power state with a single press.
• Speed Control: Adjust fan speed settings (low, medium, high) to match the intensity of your cleaning task.
• Mode Selection: Switch between different operating modes such as “Dust Extraction” or “Air Purification,” depending on the extractor’s firmware options.
• Indicator Lights: The remote features LED indicators that reflect the current status of the dust extractor, providing instant visual feedback without needing to look at the unit itself.

Battery and Power Management

The remote is powered by a built‑in rechargeable lithium‑ion battery. A dedicated charging port allows for quick recharging via USB-C or standard micro‑USB, depending on the model variant. Battery life typically exceeds 30 hours of continuous operation under normal usage conditions, ensuring that you can rely on it throughout your workday.

Installation and Setup

1. Insert the remote’s battery (if not pre‑charged) and power it on.
2. Activate Bluetooth mode on your dust extractor by navigating to its settings menu.
3. Press the pairing button on both devices; a green LED will confirm successful connection.
4. Test each function—power, speed, mode—to ensure responsiveness.

Maintenance Tips

• Keep the remote’s surface clean with a dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation on buttons.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or moisture, which can degrade battery performance.
• If connectivity issues arise, reset both the remote and the dust extractor’s Bluetooth module before attempting reconnection.
