Anyone use this fan with electronic timer?

Yes, I tried, but it didn't work. According to tech support at Delta and Lutron, the electronic switch manufacturer, the fan's current draw is way too low for the switch circuit design. I substituted an old-style (30 min) spring timer and it works fine. In another bathroom with a higher-amperage fan motor (Nutone, still a very quiet fan) I was able to use the Lutron electronic timer b/c the fan's current draw was slightly above the minimum needed to operate the switch.

I did not put the unit on a timer, but is is on a switch. However due to the low power usage, I just leave it running all the time, to keep fresh air in the laundry room.

Yes. There is some rationale behind what you've read, fans are motors, inductive motors. I use two of these in my house, both on bath fans, both work just fine. The timer is rated for a 1/6th HP load, that's a pretty big bathroom fan, roughly 124 watts. you should be fine, but if you really want to make sure, check to see your fan is < 1/6th HP.

I'm not sure this is the timer for you. It sounds like you are looking for a count-down type timer and this really isn't designed for that. This is made to turn things on and off at certain times and I really don't think you will be happy trying to use it as a count-down. I don't know mutch about the digital timers but believe a digital might be your best bet.

We love ours, since our bedroom is in the basement. If you use the timer it does shut down the fan and it sits in "wait" mode until the time you have it set to turn back on. You do need to be certain it is hooked up to a hose to drain continuously or this feature will not work. We use our for mostly heat in the winter and the a/c in the summer. But you do have the option of treating like a fan, although I'm not sure why you would want to...I believe a regular fan would e cheaper on your electric bill.

yes. a timer can be used. typically, the timer would be used to control just the fan motor if you have separate switching for light, but I suppose you could time out both at same time if a light is included.

Yes, I have it plugged in, runs all night, just don't use any timer settings. It hasn't given me any problems at all, still running strong, no stops like 2 different Homedics ones that I had in the past. The white noise isn't quite as loud as the Homedics ones, it's sufficient.

Yes, as long as your fan is a 2 speed fan to begin with it's a generic speed switch. You can also wire it through a timer too.

Yes, it's exactly as Amanda Hubner said. Timer can be set up to 7.5 hrs. Three speeds with sleep mode and nature mode, both modes circulate through the three different speeds (we don't use either of those options). Low speed is plenty for what we want, but it's nice to have options. The remote control is a great option, it's very simple and easy to use. Oh, and you can turn the oscillation on and off with the remote. We are very pleased with this fan.

Hi. I intend on using this timer with a FV-11VQ5 WhisperCeiling™ 110 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan, in a single pole application.Is this the correct timer switch? Thanks.

Not sure about the timer, but when the room reaches temperature, the fan continuities to work when on auto.

you don't need a humidity sensing switch, you might want to go with a timer that keeps the fan running for a certain time after manually initiated

the timer can be set for 1/2 hour 1 2 and 4 hours..so 30 minutes is the minimum..but its a great fan if that works for you

I guess you could wire the fan and the light to the fan side of the switch. When you switched the switch off, it would seem like nothing is happening, but it would just activate the timer.

Sorry, I hit yes accidentally. It should be NO. This switch simply replaces a switch that has 3 selections (off, low, high). It is specially designed to allow for high amperage which is needed for a whole house fan. It would replace an older high-low switch but would not work with timer.

Mine works great. You must have already tried adjusting the thermostat on the small electrical box that is attached to the fan. Actually my fan turns on at the right time, but fails to turn off soon enough for my taste. This is because the hysteresis is a bit much. I hope this helps, stay cool.

There is not a timer installed, or any way to do it at the fan. You could always use an external timer and leave the fan on the speed you'd like to use.

It should work with a bathroom fan, but will shut off shortly after any motion stops. I agree that a timer would be a better choice.
