CONTROLLER LAYOUT
The fan controller features several components:
- 1. MODE BUTTON: Cycles through the unit's modes: temperature display, cooling trigger, heat trigger, and fan speed.
- 2. UP / DOWN BUTTON: Changes the temperature setting in the cooling trigger, the heating trigger, and the fan speed.
- 3. TEMPERATURE DISPLAY: Displays the current temperature that is measured by the probe. Used as the default display.
- 4. COOLING TRIGGER: Allows you to set a temperature trigger for the fans to run when your air conditioner system is on.
- 5. HEATING TRIGGER: Allows you to set a temperature trigger for the fans to run when your central heating system is on.
- 6. FAN SPEED: Sets the fans' maximum running speed when the cooling or heating triggers are tripped to run.
IMPORTANT NOTES
This product is used to boost your existing AC or heater's airflow. It allows you to set temperature points where the fans will turn on if the airflow's temperature falls below or rises above the cooling or heating trigger's setting, respectively.
This product has 10 fan speeds from 1-10. Use the fan speed setting to set your desired airflow boosting. Keep in mind the faster the fans spin, the louder they will be.
The fans are designed to ramp up or down, instead of quickly turning on or shutting down, to minimize noise and power consumption.
When not changing settings, it is recommended to stay on the temperature display mode to monitor and accurately gauge your airflow's temperature. Do not rely on your AC or heater's thermostat reading, as it does NOT display the airflow's temperature.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY MODE
This mode displays the airflow temperature measured by the probe. While in this mode, the cooling and heating triggers, as well as the max fan speed setting, remain active unless disabled.
[Illustration of the LCD display showing a temperature reading, e.g., "75°F".]CONTROLLER LOCK
To lock the controller, navigate to the temperature display mode and then hold the mode button for three or more seconds. While locked, modes and settings cannot be switched or adjusted, but they will continue to operate in the background. Holding the mode button for three or more seconds will unlock the controller.
[Illustration of the LCD display showing "LC" to indicate the controller is locked.]HIDE DISPLAY
While the controller is locked, you can hide the display and turn off its backlight by pressing the mode button. All programs and settings will continue to operate in the background. Press any button to show the display again.
[Illustration of the LCD display being blank or dark, indicating it is hidden.]NOTE: Only in Temperature Display Mode, holding the mode button will cause the display to lock.
COOLING TRIGGER
Use this mode to set the temperature trigger for your air conditioner. This is NOT your desired temperature setting.
In this mode, the fans will run if the probe temperature meets or falls below the trigger's cold temperature setting. They will not run if the probe temperature is above the trigger's cold temperature setting.
Press the up or down buttons to set the cooling trigger temperature. To calibrate, turn on your AC and wait for a few minutes until the probe temperature stabilizes. Set your cooling trigger to this number or higher.
To avoid confusion, it is recommended to disable the cooling trigger when not using your AC. To disable it, hold the mode button for two seconds; the display will show "OF". Return to the temperature display mode once finished adjusting.
[Illustration of the LCD display showing "70°F" with a snowflake icon, indicating cooling mode.] [Illustration of the LCD display showing "OF" to indicate the cooling trigger is disabled.]COOLING TRIGGER OPERATION
Scenario: Your air conditioner turns on.
Cold air blows through the duct and into your room.
When the probe detects the airflow temperature has fallen below your Cooling Trigger, it will activate the fans.
The fans will pull cold air from your duct to boost your AC output.
If the AC is turned off, the probe will detect a higher temperature than your Cooling Trigger, telling the fans to turn off.
[Diagram illustrating the cooling process: AC on -> cold air -> fan activates below trigger temp -> fan boosts AC output. Also shows a temperature gauge indicating when fans run/don't run relative to the trigger.]HEATING TRIGGER
Use this mode to set the temperature trigger for your heater. This is NOT your desired temperature setting.
In this mode, the fans will run if the probe temperature meets or rises above the trigger's hot temperature setting. They will not run if the probe temperature is below the trigger's hot temperature setting.
Press the up or down buttons to set the heating trigger temperature. To calibrate, turn on your heater and wait for a few minutes until the probe temperature stabilizes. Set your heating trigger to this number or lower.
To avoid confusion, it is recommended to disable the heating trigger when not using your heater. To disable it, hold the mode button for two seconds; the display will show "OF". Return to the temperature display mode once finished adjusting.
[Illustration of the LCD display showing "85°F" with a flame icon, indicating heating mode.] [Illustration of the LCD display showing "OF" to indicate the heating trigger is disabled.]HEATING TRIGGER OPERATION
Scenario: Your central heating system turns on.
Heated air blows through the duct and into your room.
When the probe detects the airflow temperature has risen above your Heating Trigger, it will activate the fans.
The fans will pull heated air from your duct to boost your heater output.
If the heater is turned off, the probe will detect a lower temperature than your Heating Trigger, telling the fans to turn off.
[Diagram illustrating the heating process: Heater on -> heated air -> fan activates above trigger temp -> fan boosts heater output. Also shows a temperature gauge indicating when fans run/don't run relative to the trigger.]FAN SPEED
This mode allows you to set a maximum fan speed (1-10) at which the fans will actively run until you leave this mode. Pressing up or down changes the fan speed and determines the level of airflow boosting. Holding the MODE button sets the fan speed to 0.
Keep in mind the faster the fans spin, the louder they will be.
[Illustration of the LCD display showing fan speed "05".] [Illustration of the LCD display showing fan speed "00".]FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS
To change the temperature scale between Fahrenheit and Celsius, hold the up and down buttons simultaneously until the letters change. All digits displayed will be automatically converted to the designated scale.

- Q: Will I be able to mount this fan on my ceiling?
- A: For safety reasons, we do not recommend mounting the AIRTAP on your ceiling.
- Q: Will I be able to mount this fan on a baseboard style register?
- A: No. Because of the tilted design, the AIRTAP will not have the clearance to be properly mounted.
- Q: My register is bigger than my fan's rear insert. How can I fit this fan onto my register?
- A: We can only recommend using the appropriately sized AIRTAP fan for your register. Contact customer service for fitment issues.
- Q: Does this register booster fan have fittings to use a filter with?
- A: This product is not specifically designed to be used with filters.
- Q: Can I reverse this fan's airflow?
- A: The AIRTAP's boosted airflow cannot be reversed, nor can the fans be flipped.
- Q: What temperature is the register booster fan detecting?
- A: The AIRTAP's backside probe reads the airflow temperature of your register vent. Please note this temperature may vary from your home thermostat's reading.
- Q: My register booster fan is too loud. How do I decrease the fan noise?
- A: To minimize the noise coming from the AIRTAP, decrease the maximum fan speed. Refer to page 19.
- Q: My fan is constantly running when I don't need it to. How do I turn it off?
- A: The heating and cooling triggers may be active at the same time. Disable the trigger you are not using by holding the mode button until the screen displays OF.
