Works great; Works very silent; electronic timer works just like a switch..

did you end up purchasing this fan for your project? if so, how did it work for you? i have a similar project in mind.

No, but its a great fan and it could easily be set up with a timer. No matter what anyone says, this is a great fan, I have been running it almost non stop for nearly a year!

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.

The answer is, I don't know. This control performs differently with different tools, appliances, etc. It must depend on the type of inner electrical control of each tool, appliance, etc. I bought one to control the speed of a fan but it did not perform, it was either on or off even in the variable mode. I would go to the local electrical parts store and ask some questions before ordering.

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

It doesn't have one you need to have wires run in the wall to an external on off switch. There are other fans that would have one on the unit, not this one. Mine is wired to a timer switch.

You would need to connect the fan to an external motion sensor that would turn off the power to the fan and then turn it back on when sensing motion in the room. It is designed to run at a very low speed at all times and draws an insignificant amiunt of power. It would be less expensive if you purchased a different fan and operated it from the motion sensor, then you would only be paying for one motion sensing circuit.

It should work fine. You will have to keep the power to the timer on all of the time or reset the timer when power is dropped. We use ours to run a fan once a day in a root cellar running off of a deep cycle battery and solar charger.

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.

I have been using it to control a chest freezer compressor, which I believe to be an inductive load, for two months now and it's going strong. Check the current ratings on the fans, but I think you'd be okay.

I don't know about the fan. I set my machine for 12 hours when I go out of town. I haven't had any problems

Yes, I just added this fan to my new master bathroom renovation and wired it for intermittent operation. Very easy to do and directions are included. The continuous operation can be re-activated at any time.

No. It is better to use a countdown timer for bathroom light and fan. Please check this model # for details: HET06

Yes. When you manually press the fan button on the switch, it will behave like a timer switch shutting off after 30 minutes.

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. 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.
