OPERATION

The humidity control and fan can be oper- ated separately. Use a 1- or 2-function wall control. Do not use a dimmer switch to operate the humidity control or light. See “Connect Wiring” for details.

SENSOR OPERATION

The humidity-sensing fan uses a sophis- ticated humidity sensor that responds to:

(a)rapid to moderate (user-adjustable) increases in humidity or (b) humidity above a user-adjustable set-point (50%-100% relative humidity). The humidity sensor may occasionally turn the fan ON when environmental conditions change. If the fan continuously responds to changing environmental conditions, “SENSITIVITY” adjustment may be required.

MANUAL ON WITH TIMED OFF

The humidity sensing fan has an additional operation feature. For odor or vapor con- trol, the fan can be energized by cycling the power switch. Once the fan has been energized in this manner, it will remain on for the user-adjustable “TIMER” period (5 to 60 minutes). This period is factory-set for 20 minutes.

To manually energize the fan:

1.If fan power switch is already ON, proceed to Step 2; otherwise, turn power switch ON for more than 1 second.

2.Turn fan power switch OFF for less than

1 second.

3.Turn fan power switch back ON and fan will turn ON.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

The “SENSITIVITY” has been factory set for most shower applications. However, if the fan is in a tub area or is being used for dampness control, the “SENSITIVITY” may need to be increased toward maximum (“MAX.”). If the control is responding too often to changing environmental conditions, movement toward less (“MIN.”) “SENSITIV- ITY” may be required.

To adjust the “SENSITIVITY”:

1.Disconnect power at service entrance.

2.Through the grille, locate the screwdriver slot marked “SENSITIVITY”.

3.Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, carefully rotate the “SENSITIVITY” adjustment toward “MAX.” or “MIN.”

4.Turn on power and check operation by turning on the shower or other humidity source until the fan turns on.

5.Repeat above steps if necessary.

TIMER ADJUSTMENT

The humidity sensing fan has a “TIMER” that can be adjusted from 5 to 60 minutes (factory-set at 20 minutes). This “TIMER” controls the length of time that the fan re- mains ON (a) after the sensor has stopped sensing a rise in humidity and the humidity level is below the user-adjustable set-point or (b) after being energized by cycling the power switch.

To adjust the “TIMER”:

1.Disconnect power at service entrance.

2.Through the grille, locate the screwdriver slot marked “TIMER”.

3.Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, carefully rotate the “TIMER” adjustment to desired setting (from 5 to 60 minutes).

4.Check operation by cycling the power switch as instructed under “MANUAL ON WITH TIMED OFF” or by turning on a humidity source until the fan turns on.

5.Turn humidity source off and time the unit.

6.Repeat above steps if necessary.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For quiet and efficient operation, long life, and attractive appearance - lower or remove grille and vacuum interior of unit with the dusting brush attachment.

The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings are making excessive or unusual noises, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller should also be replaced.

SENSOR CLEANING

The humidity sensor is mounted in the grille. The sensor will operate most reliably when cleaned occasionally as follows:

1.Disconnect power at service entrance.

2.Remove the grille. Use a dry dustcloth, clean toothbrush, or lightly vacuum to clean sensor and grille. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL PADS, OR SCOURING POWDERS.

3.DO NOT USE cleaning sprays, solvents, or water on or near the sensor!
