Can several of these be wired in parallel (one in each of 3 bathrooms) to run a remote fan unit that exhausts all three bathrooms?

If these things use mechanical relays you could, but unless that's known for certain, it wouldn't be advisible.If you hear a click when it switches on it's probably a mechanical relay, if not, it's probably solid state, which you wouldn't want to cross connect to avoid damage.You could do some custom configuration such as using the switched outputs of the sensors to control AC relays, which could then be wired in parallel to drive your fan.

If both fan wall controllers and the remote have the same dip switch settings they should operate "as one".. however I would recommend a remote for each fan so they can run independently. I have three fans on our porch and having them independent of each other is well worth the price of the extra remote.

Try the fan manufacturer, or just duplicate the wiring of the existing fan switch.

Yes, it can. The black box slides into the fan mounting bracket, under the ceiling bezile. Then, it's a matter of connecting all of the wires together, as explained in the instructions that come with the unit. really quitte simple. Just make sure that the code on the black box (4 position) matches the remote controls that you are using with that fan. If they do not match, the remote will not work.

there are different power feed wires required for each element in the fan (fan, main light, night light) so you can control each independently

No it not possible unless get somebody rewire fan so plugs in device. Does not have to be pluged in same room fan is in.

I have no idea but, I did call customer service regarding my wiring situation, and they gave me a configuration which made the device work perfectly. My guess, the Fan only feature would not work.

Probably couldn't hurt if you have the room, I thought about doing the same. The fan is decent for what it is, but doesn't push all that much air. You could wire both fans to operate on the same switch. I have noticed that the fan does help the performance of the unit in hot temps. Good luck dude.

I currently have the unit hooked up separate. One switch to operate the heat lamp and a separate to operate the fan. There are instructions to wire on the same switch as well.

If there are two wires coming out of the fan then yes. If there are three then you will need to build a pwm controller. If there are four wires, you will still need to build the controller.

No, it can be wired to one switch, but that means the fan will be on whenever the light is. I wired mine with a single switch that EFI makes that has a timer that keeps the fan running after the switch is turned off. The timer is adjustable.

If you only have 1 hot wire, this switch won't help you. You'll either need to buy a fan with a remote or buy a separate unit and remote for your fan.

Heat bulb and fan have separate wires so they can be connected to separate switches---just connect only the one you want to use--

The specification states that it will control up to a 3 Amp fan. Check the amperage of the fan motors and add them, if the total is under 3 amps you should be OK. Most bathroom fans are well under one amp so it should run 2 or 3 without an issue.

don't know ...... i have 6 fans ....... one can be operated on wall or remote, 2 are operated on wall switch, but my three canarm ltd's are operational by remote ...... so i don't know if they can be operated by a wall switch

You can get remote seperate. I caution you this fan is nice looking but a bit noisey

As Ray said, the intake duct to the fan would need a Y connection, and both bathroom ducts would connect to that. When the fan runs, it would draw air from both bathrooms at the same time.
