Can this be set up with a 2 switch system? One switch for the light and the other for the fan, or is it configured that the fan ALWAYS comes on?

Yes, you can use the two switch system, in fact this is the way I hooked it up, a 5/10/20/30 minute timer (http://tinyurl.com/kjsfa97) on the fan and a regular switch on the light.

Yes, it is possible to have a switch for the light and another switch for the fan.

You can split the wiring - both the fan and the light unit are on plugs inside the fan box - makes it easy to take the light unit off and it seems like you could pull the fan if it ever fails for repairs

If you want to control the fan and light separately then you will need a switch for each. If the night light is to be constantly on, then you will need a separate non-switched power source for that light. If you want to control the night light also you will need a third switch. In my installation I had one switch and no non-switched power since I was replacing a simple fan and I did not want to rewire the bathroom. The light and fan come on together when the switch is turned on. I didn't use the night light since I had no always-on source of power. For each thing (fan, light, night light) that you wish to turn on and off separately you will need a switch.

Hi TiffanyYes you can use heater, fan and light at the same time . You should order a 3 switch plate or it comes with it

I believe that you will need two wall switches --- one for turning the fan on/off and one for turning the light on/off.

No, it does not. You have to install a switch (where your light switch is) and you can control the fan and light separately.

The switch comes with a matching transmitter that connects to the fan. You need two separate switch and transmitters to control two fans.

If your power source is connected to only one switch the fixture must be wired so the fan and light are wired togther. Fan and light will power on/off togther.

Yes. It can be, if you wire it that way. There are 3 individual feed wires, for, (1)the fan, (2)the main light and (3)the night light, so that you could connect the fan and the main light to one switch, and the night light to a second switch. The combined current(amps) of the fan and the main light is very low, and is well within the capability of a standard light switch.

The fan and lights are on different circuits. The lights are not automatic, and will require switches.The fan is automatic. I used a two pole motion sensing switch that turns the night light on when some enters the room, and the regular light has to be manually activated. Both lights turn off when the room is vacant for ten minutes . You could use a similar setup, and add the fan.

First of all, I'm not an electrician. Secondly, it was not designed to control two fans. With that said, I don't see any reason why it would not be able to control two fans. Be advised that one side of the switch has four settings for the fan - low, medium, high and very high. The other side is a true "slide" from zero to 100. I hope this helps. Good luck.

No. We have one switch. What this means is that the fan and light are either both on or both off. This is ok for our small bathroom.

Yes a single pole switch will work.The wall switch will send the power to the the light and fan, the pull chains will turn the light and fan on as well as control the fan speed.If you choose to set the pull chains to the on positions, then you can turn the light and fan on and off using the wall switch.With you use this switch you will need 14/3 wire to control the fan and light separately .

This switch doesn't directly control power to the fan/light -- it's simply a remote control that is powered by wire rather than battery. If you want to be able to control the fan from two doorway areas, you could certainly buy two controllers and just set both of the signal switches to the same code. I'm not sure I've answered your question but hope it helps.

No, you will need a separate switch to control the light function. In one of my bathrooms I have a light built into the fan and I have a separate switch to control the light along side this fan control. This is a very good fan control switch and I think you will like the features and functionality. The only issue that some don't like is the green LEDs that are illuminated (one is always on. if the unit is off, the main buttonLED is on and the last default time LED is also on. If the unit is on then the button time that is selected is on. Some are concern about this at night, but it's kind of a night light for me. I hope this helps.

I used two single pole switches. I wired the light and fan on one and the night light on the other. If you need one that's on a timer or humidity sensing I'd go to Panasonic Web sight and see what they would suggest.

Yes, if I read your intention correctly. There are dip switches that pairs the remotes with the fans. When I installed my fan, the remote operated two fans, the new fan and another fan in a bedroom. Both operated the same way. I turned one light on, and the fan in another room would also turn on. Likewise with the fan and fan speeds. If two fans were in the same room, this could be good, and it sounds as if this is what you hope for, but wasn't what I wanted. The dip switches are too hard to get to to throw them to operate the fans independently with one remote. Btw, I changed one dip switch setting and my problem was fixed. You also may have two remotes in different areas of a room such as by two entryways, and both operate both fans.
