- User Manual (this document)
Setup Instructions
1. Controller Installation
- Power Off: Before any wiring, ensure the power supply to the fan circuit is completely turned off at the circuit breaker.
- Mounting: Securely mount the Wireless Ventilation Controller unit near your exhaust fan. Ensure it is in a location that allows for proper wiring and sensor placement.
- Wiring: Connect the controller to your exhaust fan's wiring. The controller uses UL1015 standard electronic wires. Follow the clear markings on the installation lines for correct connections (e.g., input power, fan output). This system is compatible with single-line, double-line, and triple-line exhaust fans.
- Sensor Connection: Connect the temperature and humidity sensor to the designated port on the controller. Position the sensor in the area where you wish to monitor temperature and humidity (e.g., attic).
2. Remote Display Setup
- Power On: Once the controller is wired and mounted, restore power to the circuit.
- Pairing: To pair the remote display with the controller, press and hold the pairing button on the controller for 3 seconds. A steady light on the controller will indicate successful pairing. The remote display should then show readings.
- Placement: Place the portable remote display in a convenient location within your living space. It can be placed on a table or mounted on a wall using the provided mounting method (screws or adhesive).

Operating Instructions
Remote Display Overview
The remote display provides real-time information and control options. It shows attic temperature, attic humidity, room temperature, room humidity, fan timer settings, and current fan speed.
Image: Detailed view of the remote display screen with labels indicating attic temperature, attic humidity, room temperature, indoor humidity, 'Keep on/Keep off' status, timing (1-12 hours), and wind speed adjustable in 3 gears. Buttons for 'SET', 'TIME', and 'FAN' are also labeled.
Button Functions
- SET Button: Used for complete setup and configuration of the system, including setting desired temperature/humidity thresholds.
- TIME Button: Adjusts the fan timer. The timer can be set from 1 to 12 hours. Repeated presses cycle through available time settings and an 'OFF' option.
- FAN Button: Controls the fan speed. Cycles through Low, Medium, High, and Off settings.
Power Failure Memory
The system is equipped with a power failure memory function. In the event of a sudden power outage, the device will retain its last active settings and resume normal operation automatically once power is restored, eliminating the need for manual re-configuration.

Remote Control Range
The remote control operates effectively up to 200 feet in open spaces, allowing for flexible placement of the remote display within your home.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the remote display and controller with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Sensor Care: Ensure the temperature and humidity sensor remains free of dust and debris for accurate readings.
- Connection Check: Occasionally inspect all wiring connections to the controller to ensure they remain secure.
- Battery Replacement: (If applicable, though product states "Batteries required: No") If your model uses batteries for the remote display, replace them as needed when the low battery indicator appears.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Remote display not showing readings or not responding. | Not paired with controller; out of range; power issue to controller. | Ensure controller has power. Re-attempt pairing process (press and hold pairing button on controller for 3 seconds). Move remote display closer to the controller. |
| Fan not responding to remote commands. | Controller not receiving power; wiring issue; fan malfunction. | Check circuit breaker and controller power indicator. Verify all wiring connections are secure. Test the fan directly if possible. |
| Inaccurate temperature/humidity readings. | Sensor obstructed or dirty; sensor damaged; improper sensor placement. | Clean the sensor. Ensure the sensor is placed in an area representative of the environment you wish to monitor, away from direct heat sources or drafts. |
| Remote display screen cracked. | Physical impact. | Handle the remote display with care. Contact customer support for replacement options if necessary. |
| Multiple units in one house cause cross-talk. | RF interference between identical units. | This system may not be suitable for environments requiring multiple independent fan controls using identical units due to potential RF interference. Consider alternative solutions if this issue persists. |
