5. Istruzioni per l'uso
The Broan-NuTone Roomside Series fan features a built-in humidity sensor for automatic operation and an integrated LED light.
5.1 Humidity Sensing Operation
The fan's humidity sensor automatically detects rising humidity levels in the room. When the humidity reaches the user-adjustable set-point, the fan will turn on to exhaust moist air. Once the humidity level drops below the set-point, the fan will automatically turn off after a short delay.
5.2 Adjusting Humidity Sensor Set-Point
The humidity sensor's sensitivity can be adjusted to suit your preferences and bathroom environment. Refer to the diagram below for the location of the adjustment dial. Use a small screwdriver to carefully turn the dial to increase or decrease sensitivity. A higher setting means the fan will activate at lower humidity levels.
