What is the maximum operating temperature? I want to use it in an attic application. I live in Phx. Attic temp will exceed 125 degrees in summer.

The efficiency of the heat sink depends on the ambient temperature. The high attic temperature will make the heat sink less effective from getting rid of heat. In my opinion the high attic temperature will limit the rated current of the power supply.

It should be fine Just make it sit on like a ceramic dinner plate so heat cannot transfer down

The operating temperature for that unit is 34-114 degrees. Anything more or less will affect the performance of the unit.

I'm not exactly sure. I had it controlling a fan in a green house that was getting way too warm. However, once I got this wired up and working the green house never got over 100 F. On the low end, I'm not at all sure since I only used it in the summer. It's fairly sturdy in the construction and uses some old school tech. I'd be surprised if it would stop working at a high temperature unless it started to melt the plastic.

Not sure how cold your attic gets. But it shouldn't be subjected to freezing temps, it will void your warranty if the pipes freeze. The heater or outlet pipe should be at least 24" from any combustable materials, and should not be installed under any water pipes or A/C lines. Required clearances are 12" above and below the heater, and 6" from either side. I was confused about the required 3/4" water feed line. When I called customer service about the size of the feed line. They told me it reguires 3/4" in and out for at least 1 foot. I went with a water feed line of 3/4" copper tubing for 5 feet in and out. My unit works great, and happy I went with the Ecosmart. I didn't see anyone else with a Lifetime Warranty, and made in USA to boot...

This unit is designed for crawlspace installation rather than attic installation. I no longer own the property where I installed the unit, so I don't have the manufacturer's documentation, but I would assume it is not certified for attic use. The controller is a humidistat, not a thermostat, so this is not the unit for your application.

We use it at 425 - 450. It's stone/ceramic, so I think it would be OK since it was probably fired at a way higher temp than 600 when it was manufactured.

Thomas, That is exactly what my husband is doing with this fan. The max temp is up to 140° F (60° C). It works great, better than expected. He is also using a speed controller on it. It is really quiet too.

the unit has a heat source so it doesn't seem to matter the temp of the room (above freezing). I have it in my garage and it is often in the 40 degree range. The unit does put out heat when operating (when removing humidity--if humidity is at or lower than your setting the heat turns off but fan continues to operate). You should be fine. I love this thing. I moved from Eastern WA where humidity is hardly ever above 50%, to Western Wa where it is in the 80-99% most of the time. I am allergic to mildew/molds etc and this unit keeps my home dry and no musty scents. I was prepared to purchase a second one for the upstairs but this dandy unit keeps both floors perfect.

If the cord is rated at 105c, that is the maximum temperature that the jacket and inner conductor compounds can be exposed to. I am not sure what you mean by what is the maximum temperature that the cord that be operated at? can you be more specific? what is your application?

Depending on your climate you may be able to. Note if you are below freezing often you may run into problems. You will need power and network in the attic. I checked the company'd website and here are the "Environmental" specs. Operating Temperature: 0&#8451;~40&#8451; (32&#8457;~104&#8457;) Storage Temperature: -40&#8451;~70&#8451; (-40&#8457;~158&#8457;) Operating Humidity: 10%~90% non-condensing Storage Humidity: 5%~90% non-condensing http://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/details/?model=TL-WA901ND#spec

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41º F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

You may want to contact Panasonic on that one. The housing has no contact with the motor and the motor is designed for continuous duty so I doubt the heat is that extreme. Also the fact it is designed for attic installation would make me think that would not be an issue. There are always exceptions. I would not recommend stuffing it in and around fan to "insulate". Best bet would be to contact the manufacturer.

I've taken it up to 450 degrees without any problems. I'm sure you can take it to a higher temperate. Great product.

I would guess "yes". The EIM is not measuring temperature, and I would suppose that this sort of solid state equipment should be able to handle attic summer temps

I am in Wisconsin. These fans are excellent. The bug/animal infiltration prevention screen is well installed and made of some very durable hardware cloth. Most attics are meant to be open to the outside all year round. They are meant to keep the air space between the house and roof vented. That is the purpose of an attic. The biggest concern you should have with an attic is whether or not you are getting proper ventilation. For those of us in the cold climates, condensation and humidity in winter in the attic can be a concern. I have found that these attic fans work better even in passive mode during the winter much better than a static vent. I always get the thermostat unit so the fan only runs when the temp in the attic is 70F or higher. I have three of these fans, and have had them for many years. They are excellent.

mine is slightly warm the attic is not a good place to put electronic equipment.too hot!!!

This thermostat has no range as most attic thermostats do. For example, if you set the temperature at 90 degrees, a desired thermostat would come on at 105 degrees and turn off at 90 degrees. This thermostat turns on when the temperature reaches your setting and cuts off when it cools below your setting. It will control the cooling of your attic, but with no range it cuts on and off very much. I have been unable to find a thermostat with a 10 to 15 degree range, so I am faced with the fan turning on and off constantly. My attic is cooled to the temperature I selected.
