5. Operation
The fan features a smart thermostat and 8-speed control for customized ventilation.
5.1 Thermostat Control
The intelligent probe (3ft wire) allows the fan to activate automatically when the ambient temperature reaches your preset level. Use the 'TEMP +' and 'TEMP -' buttons on the controller to adjust the desired temperature threshold.
5.2 Speed Adjustment
The fan offers 8 adjustable speeds. Use the 'SPEED +' and 'SPEED -' buttons to select the desired airflow intensity. The fan will operate at the chosen speed when activated by the thermostat or manually.
5.3 Power-Off Memory
The built-in Power-Off Memory function automatically saves your preferred temperature and speed settings, restoring them after a power interruption.
5.4 Automatic Gravity Shutters
The fan is equipped with automatic gravity louvers. These shutters open when the fan is operating to allow air exhaust and close tightly when the fan is off, preventing drafts, rain, and insects from entering the space.
