Q: The FAN doesn't come on quickly enough. How do I fix this?
A: If you want the CONTROL to come on faster, rotate the sensitivity dial clockwise
to make the CONTROL more sensitive. Move the dial in small increments until you
find the right setting. See PAGES 22-23 for more details.
Q: Is it possible to disable the humidity sensing?
A: Yes! To disable the humidity sensing, first make sure the FAN is off. Then push
down and hold the button on the CONTROL, releasing the button after 15 seconds.
To enable the sensor again, simply repeat the process.
Q: If I disable the CONDENSATION SENSOR, can I still operate the FAN
manually?
A: Yes, manual and timer operation is not affected.
Q: I use an air conditioner during the day in the summer and turn it off at night.
When I do this my FAN turns on. What's happening?
A: Sometimes, when the air conditioning is turned off, the house will start to attract
condensation (humidity). The effect is similar to taking a shower or a bath. The
CONTROL senses the increased condensation (humidity) and turns the FAN on. To
avoid this, you can reduce the CONTROL's sensitivity level. See PAGES 22-23 for
instructions on how to do this.
Q: The BLUE LED LIGHT is pulsing. What does that mean?
A: The pulsing is telling you that the CONTROL is sensing condensation (humidity)
and is running the FAN to remove the condensation. When the BLUE LED LIGHT is
solid (not pulsing on/off) the FAN is on and either in manual timer mode or in
sensor operated drying mode. Note: When the CONTROL senses condensation, it
will run the FAN as long as it takes to return the room to its normal state. After a
shower or bath, this is typically 25-35 minutes. The manual timer setting does not
change the drying time. The manual timer is for smell removal time only.
Q: I lost the SETTINGS TOOL that came with the CONTROL SCREW KIT, can I
use a screwdriver to make adjustments?
A: Yes. You can use any small tool, just be careful not to break the sensitivity and
timer dials.
Q: What happens if someone turns the FAN off before the room is fully dried?
A: The CONTROL knows when your room needs to be dried. If someone turns the
CONTROL off manually it will still sense the condensation and turn on again after 1
minute to finish drying the room.
Q: If I set my countdown timer to 5 minutes, does that mean that the FAN will only
run for 5 minutes when condensation is detected?
A: No. The timer is only used with manual operation. The CONDENSATION
SENSOR in the CONTROL runs based on condensation detection only and will
always run the fan as long as it takes to return the room back to its original dryness
level before the shower or bath.
Q: When the FAN is on, the CONTROL is clicking and the BLUE LED LIGHT is
turning on and off. How do I fix this?
A: The CONTROL may be wired incorrectly. Check the wiring diagram on PAGES
20-21 and ensure that the power, neutral, fan, and ground wires are connected
correctly.
Q: Can I use the CONTROL in a 3-way wiring configuration?
A: Yes, the CONTROL can be used in multi-switch and/or multi-fan configurations.
The instructions and wiring diagrams for these configurations can be found at
