Has anyone had experience in wiring this to 2 humidity switches? Basically want to connect duct work to 2 inlets and have either switch turn on fan

Yes it can be wired to these type switches provided they are three way switches. The switches are more commercially used and are more expensive.

Make sure it is a 5 wire for 5 wire swap. It will change the fan speed. I would be concerned going from 2.5 uf to 6 uf. Don't think I would do it.

Yes you can connect it to a switch, however you will need to order the correct wall switch that is compatitable with that fan! Contact us for that part number! :)

I found that the W-32 switch did not work on the old fan I had. I have a CB2104616T serial FU30197 built in 1986 and needed a W-11 switch which is only sold at fixmycasabalancafan.com and is too expensive.

You need a electrician to look at your fan. The switch is designed to work with Panasonic exhaust fan. Not sure what fan you have

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.

No. The humidistat is "just a switch." Activated by humidity rather than your finger. So if you install it where the single switch is now, it will "work" but the light and fan will BOTH come on when the room steams up and go off when the air dries out. You would have to pull a second set of wires to switch the fan and light independently.

Yes, it will work just fine. Multi vs. single speed does not matter. If you have a fan/light combo that runs from one switch then one of these will work. If you have separate toggles for the fan and light then you'll need two. Hope this helps.

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

Yes separate switches. Fan is not worth it if it's over 80 degrees out. Buy an a.c. unit instead.

This switch will not support 8 fans, I think you need at least a 10AMP but you should check with the fan manufactured first

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.

Yes it only goes on with the fan running.... providing you install a "sail" switch in the return duct. The unit I purchased had the sail switch included. It should provide enough moisture for all 4 zones but, look on the specs for the square footage. I believe it should give the square foot capacity. It is important to note that you will need a cold water line connected to the unit and that this unit incorporates a low voltage solenoid valve that requires an 110v ac outlet for the transformer to plug into. This unit works great and it also comes with a humidistat that must be installed in the return duct or in a main room. I also installed a UV light from Honeywell that kills airborne germs and virus. These are available on Amazon and are easily installed. Also one more thing.... do not throw away a used humidifier pad with the cage that holds it. The cage is separate from the pad. I made this mistake and I had to purchase another one.... which was very expensive. One more thing I forgot to mention.... you will need a place to drain the water from the unit as it is working. This could be a floor drain, sump pump, or possibly a sink. Good luck!

Richard, as far as the wiring goes there is no problem. What you need to be concerned about is running too much power though the switch which could cause an electrical fire. your fans are rated at 31 watts for the fan and two 40-watt light bulbs, therefore with two fans you will have a demand of 62 watts on the fan control and 160 watts on the light control. the switch is rated for 143 watts on the fan and 300 watts on the light, so you should be OK. You should still check with a local electrician that is familiar with electrical codes in your area to make sure you're safe. Good Luck!

Hi Topgear88, Check with your local inspection department because some say it's ok but I don't reccomend installing it directly above the shower. I would recommend installing the fan just outside the shower. If your trying to remove the humidity, Instead of a switch I would install a adjustable dehumidistat and set arround 45% to 50% then the fan will turn on & shut off automaticly. Also make sure to correctly size the fan so it will remove the humidity.MarkInnovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

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.

Negative. This is a hard wired sensor. It mounts to the wall in a regular or shallor receptacle box and is hard wired to your fan. I has slots in the side of the housing that allow air to circulate and when the humidity level exceeds the level set by the dial, it just acts like a light switch and turns on the fan. Easy to do and works great, just put in place of the switch that controls the fan (just be warned, if your fan is a fan light combo, the light should be wired on its own switch)
