I currently have a 3 function switch and going to a 4 function bathroom fan/heater/light/night light. Do I have to add a wire?

Unfortunately I had my electrician do the install. I can tell you that the Heater should go on the top switch, fan in the middle, and the bottom switch actually is for the Heater/Fan over head light and night lights. You push the switch left for the overhead light, middle is off, right is night light. Hope this Helps...Happy Holidays!

I put in a 4 function switch but only had 3 wires. I left one wire unconnected. [My contractor left my 3 way Nutone switch in place when he replaced the Nutone fixture with Panasonic, and the Panasonic worked for a year (without being able to turn on the night light). When the light switch malfunctioned, I replaced it with the 4 wire switch.]

No. The top toggle operates both the light and night light. Center position is Off.

You should be done but hubby says yes . The positions of what where are a matter of your choice. I have the light up and the vent in the bottom position.

I already had a wall switch, we just replaced the heat bulb/fan. Our switch however, is a double switch one operates the heat lights the other operates the fan. We had it installed by the Handy Man Connection. It took them about an hour.

Not necessarily...but you should. You'll need power to the fan obviously and power to the switch, but you don't need to wire the switch to the fan directly. The switch communicates (light, speed) to the fan wirelessly. The initial setup requires you to sync the switch to the fan which is done at initial power. So if separate circuits they need to come up at the same time.

not an electrician, but that didn't stopme from replacing a standard light switch with motion sensor. HP of fan is not revilement, all the switch does is allow power to go to the the device. If the fans are operated from two separate switches, best use 2 motion sensors.

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.

Yes, I did this just this. Fan, ceiling light and vanity light. However, get a deep box as it is a tight fit with all the wiring.

The light and fan are on separate switches. You'll need a 3rd switch if you want to use the separate night light (optional). It's a great fan, by the way.

Although you can wire the fan and the light separately, it is not necessary. Both can be connected to the same power source.

I suppose but there are other alternatives for that. This is designed for a fan light combo and has 5 wires to operate both fan and light. If you only need a timer switch any home center or hardware store should have that.

The light and fan is wired for two independent switches, but can be wired for one switch. We already had a triple switch box in the room for the fan, ceiling light and over the sink light. I have to say it's a little louder than expected but it is in a very small powder room area which I did not take into consideration when purchasing. I was more interested in appearances.

Absolutely - there are 2 hot wires - one for the fan and one for the light. So, if you have the wiring/switches in place it will work perfectly.

Yes, I have mine wired for one light switch. The fan is controlled by the remote.

No you don't The wiring for your light will work just fine. The only thing is both fan and light come on at the same time but that is what we wanted.

Yes. The one I have has a switch & plate that I ordered seperately. It controls the fan, the light & a night light. So that has to be installed separately to run the fan & adjuncts.

You have to wire the unit to either low or high speed for the fan. It's a series of three wires that have terminals that you need to screw down bare wire. If you have a three way switch in your bathroom you can have it wired to be Off/Low/High. There are no switches or selectors on the unit itself.

You can wire the fan either way. It just depends on what you have for the electrical connection now. The connecting wire is not included with the fan. I used the one that was already installed with my old fan. It has a normal 3 prong plug. Since the plug and wire don't move once the fan is installed, the old wire was like new.

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.
