Operating Instructions
Remote Control Functions
The Jupiter Zphyr fan is operated using the included smart remote control. Ensure the remote has working batteries.
Image: The smart remote control for the Jupiter Zphyr fan, detailing its various functions.
- On/Off: Press the power button to turn the fan on or off.
- LED: Toggles the integrated LED light on or off.
- Speed Control: Buttons labeled 1-5 (or similar) adjust the fan speed.
- Boost Speed: Activates maximum fan speed for rapid cooling.
- Sleep Mode: Gradually reduces fan speed by 10 RPM every hour for comfortable sleep.
- Timer Mode: Set the fan to automatically switch off after 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours.
- Reverse Rotation (REV): Changes the direction of blade rotation. Useful for different seasons.
Bi-Directional Rotation
The fan offers bi-directional rotation for year-round comfort:
- Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise): Pushes air downwards, creating a cooling breeze.
- Winter Mode (Clockwise): Draws cool air up, circulating warm air near the ceiling downwards, helping to distribute heat more evenly.
