How does this work if occasionally (using toilet) you only want to use the exhaust fan?

just press the button in the middle. If you don't turn it off, it will eventually do it itself unless you have disabled that function.
1016464
if you lay a hot steaming one right under the switch it will work just fine

Basically this switch has 2 ons and offs. One on is moisture. And the second is a switch. So you can just turn it on with a button. The two offs are Time and a switch. So if you hit a button to turn it on, it would shut off when the timer ran out or when you hit the off button.

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

This unit can be used in moisture mode or bypassed and only time controlled, instructions for use came with the control.

There are three sections. Top in sensor, middle is on button, bottom is off button. Any time it is turned on, it will stay on for 30 minutes unless you hit the off button. You can turn it off at any time with the bottom button, but if the sensor determines that it's too humid or moist in the room, it will turn it back on again. If the moisture level is normal, the on and off work the same as any other on/off switch.

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.

You lose the ability to control the fan separately. That is furnace and fun are on at the same time, you can't just turn the fan on.

no. This unit is very good and super quite. you can hardly hear the exhaust fan and the heater does a very good job of heating the bathroom

No, it's a backdraft for the output side of the fan. You put this in line between the output of the fan and the fixture that you are using to mount to the wall or the roof. This unit ensures that the air flow can only go out and not backdraft into your bathroom.

If you already have an exhaust fan in the bathroom that you're replacing, you can install this model from inside the bathroom. Since the unit is vented, it needs to be piped either through the roof or to an exterior wall. So, if it's a new installation, you'll install the fan/light unit from inside AND you'll have to vent it from the attic to the outside (or you'll create an environment in your attic where the moisture disperses and mold will form.)

You must funnel the heat coming out of the rear exhaust to the outside or another unused room, or you are simply moving the air around in the same room using a lot of electricity (With no beneficial cooling). RJK

power is one thing, but if the incoming air doesn't have an exit to move the air through the room the fan doesn't work very well.so remember the airflow through the room is just as helpful as the "power" of the fan

It moves a lot more air than a circular fan and it will get the air around the room. Sounds like you really need and exhaust fan for a bathroom and this will just blow the air around it will not remove it from the space.

I am presently using it to control a 130 cfm bathroom exhaust fan. It works great.

Yes. You need to vent all the exhaust air out of your place or else the hot air will just recirculate in the room preventing it from cooling the room.

because it becomes a self-sustaining system. Once the fan turns on, it will maintain +ve pressure to keep the switch turned. You should install it upstream (suction side of fan that you try to control). Careful to not cock the switch if exposed to hi temp.

There is a delay timer built into the fan so once you turn the switch off the fan will run (anywhere from 30 sec to 60 mins which ever you set it too) if you want to run the fan on a timer you could do so just install the timer make sure it's made for low voltage (because the switch for the fan is low voltage if install properly) and and set the delay on the fan to zero. Personally I'd prefer the use of the built in fan timer because no matter how long you use the bathroom the fan will remain on for a set time after you leave which is ideal for moisture control

Yes, the sensor does run the fan for a short period after the person leaves the restroom. You can't hear it though unless you walk back into the restroom. It is a nice fan. We are very pleased with the operation over all.

The fan on top of ur PSU is actually an intake(usually), not the exhaust. The exhaust is the rear of the PSU. So it will suck cool air from below and exhaust hot air out the back, instead of sucking hot air from the case if it were up. That is y there is a removable filter at the bottom as it collects dust before it's sucked into the PSU

Whether it runs continuously is up to you. There's basically an "idle" speed (can be zero/off) and an "occupied" speed. Setting the idle speed to something more than zero means there is always a small amount of air being pulled out of the room. This is the way most hotel bathroom vents work. Two great things here: 1. This fan is very quiet. 2. This fan uses a tiny amount of electricity.

I believe with this series the fan will only run when it's needed. This conserves power usage and allows the unit to run quieter.
