Why don't you switch on the power separately to the vacuum pump. This is what I do with all components. I have a roll of switches to turn on ignition, start, Iota's, vacuum pump, A/C if needed, Heaters if needed, and etc.
I do not even have to think what order to turn on the switches, which is left to right for me. I have them mix in with 28 switches which works as a cyber anti theft system. If you push the wrong switch, it will turn on the sound system that will blast you out of the vehicle, activates a siren, flashing lights and contacts a remote alarm.

It's a matter of voltage. The pump will work until the battery is dead. However this doesn't allow enough voltage through to close the contactors. ONce the contactors close the Iota takes over and all is well. Wipers lights vac pump. No porblem. Drawing down the battery takes two months. The battery is an Optima style battery which is plenty tough. I've even increased the charge voltage by inserting the phone plug. Doesn't help much. Could be I just don't use the EV enough as we have a Leaf now. The solution is to simply charge the aux battery once a month.
