Does this unit have to be used with a booster fan

I have mine without and It has worked flawless. It would seem depending on the distance to the out side. My vent is through the wall directly behind my dryer.

I can't answer that question, but it really is only a sending unit that is installed between the fan's power source and the your power feed. I would say it would work as long as you have room to install the sending unit in your fan assembly. See the black box in the photo. The instructions say to set the fan speed on high and don't manually change the speed setting. To me the unit acts like a light dimmer.

It depends on the AMPS of the fan. It is RF so line of site is not necessary.

This has to be purchased with a hunter fan that has remote capabilities. In my case the fan was remote capable so there is no further installation needed.

Yes it will cause the fan motor to run slower than it should , which will burn out the motor.

Yes. You have to remove the fan to install the unit. Look on YOUTUBE, you should be able to find a installation video.

Yes the unit that I bought came with a fan. There are 2 pictures for this unit. You can see the fan in the second picture.

It worked with mine . I did not have to change the unit that was installed with the fan . I put batteries in it and it worked the fan controls

The booster is placed on top of any floor register to pull in more air flow. So you can place as many boosters as needed for the upstairs registers so to pull more cold air to the entire floor.

What would be my option if I only have the laundry room to install a dryer booster fan? The home I just purchased has a layout that discharges from the dryer to the wall (2'), up to the ceiling vertically (9'), and then 20' horizontally outside. Thanks.

No. Please don't waste your time and money on this fan. The output is pitiful. I returned it.

The system is a standalone unit with no built-in fan. You can purchase the fan option separately. I have installed both and the unit works great!

no. It will not, that is your power source the fan modulator is where you plug your USB cord in which in return gives you power when the unit is hot enough to covert heat into power If your fan isn't running when you have a fire or its not charged you will run the risk of internal damage to the unit if you have charged the unit and it still doesn't work you have a problem and you need to send its entire unit back to biolite for repair or exchange

It is part of the purifier system. Blue light on left front of unit indicates it is on, however you will not hear the fan run just as you do not hear it until the thermostat kicks in on the heater. If you want to stricktly run it as an air circulation device (room fan) I don't think you'll have much luck. It is tied to the air purifier so may work for circulation as well. Just as a comment, I am more than happy with my unit. It works very well and is safe around my baby grandson.

No. It uses the fan to move the air over the heating elemens to blow warn air, and beleive it or not, to also cool the heating coils so they don't over heat and cause the unit to shut down because of it getting to hot.

This would only work with a fan controlled by a Minka-Aire controller. Its is highly unlikely this is the unit you want.

You know Steve- the manufacturer's website answers your questions :) but here you go. "Q: What fans can I use a fan speed controller with? A: Our fan speed controller (ACSC) will work with brushless motors, such as the ones commonly used with inline centrifugal fans. Do not use with blowers, booster fans, etc." Quiet operation Durable ceramic-coated Metal housing UL-recognized components High quality molded impeller Thermally-protected AC motor Includes mounting brackets and 8 foot pre-wired 120V cord Thermally protected A/C motor :) I have 3 - these things are worth every penny - they are loud if not attached to any duct or filter.
