How does the position of the on/off wall switch affect the timer? That is, does the timer kick in when you turn off the wall switch?

Hi. Yes, the timer starts when the switch is turned "off". Make sure it gets wired correctly, though. Power needs to go directly to the fan, and the control lines go to the switch

This fan can be wired in many ways. It was intended to be installed with the fan constantly powered. The switch should boost the speed to get rid of humidity and bathroom smells. This fan is also sold with a built-in motion detector that controls the boost, leading to easier installation.

Had the same issue with mine (I have 2 wall controllers located side by side). I called customer support, and they advised that because of the close proximity of the wall controllers, I would need to turn the sensor switch (located under the swing up cover towards the top middle) off on one of the units- seems when they're close like that they mess with each other. Turned the one off for the far side of the garage and now things are working to my satisfaction. The light does not come on for the one with the sensor turned off (unless you turn it on manually, open or close the door, or walk thru the safety sensors), but I can live with that- beats having the lights on 24-7.

You can leave the wall switch in and use this switch; but the wall switch must be left in the "on" position all the time.

Great question; there's an on/of switch on the bottom of the unit. You have to move the switch to "on" or "off" positions.

The timer is on for four hrs and then it will turn off automatically. The following day if will turn on exactly at the same time you turned it on for another four hrs and so on. I believe if you don't use batteries for the time that might do the trick so that it is turned on all the time, but you will have to test to find out. I haven't tried it myself.

I have not put a timer on mine , but after your question, I tried programming in different cplot,and modes,then cut the power with a wall switch, and it has come back on in the same mode.

It goes off at the time you set. Or close to that that. I didn't notice premature turn off, of that's the questions.

It works both ways. By default it stays on bit if you press the timer button you can set the timer

Yes. When you set the timer switch duration, it will reset every time the power to the switch turns off, in anticipation of the next "on" cycle.

There are two ways this could happen. One is if the power goes out. Then you will need to reset the timer to the correct time. The second is if the timer stops are loose or fall off. The best way to prevent this is to make sure the stops are tightened. I check mine every few weeks as I can, to make sure they haven't loosened over time. So far, no issues.

It should come on if you have the pin pressed all the way in. If the pin is in all the way it "trips" the timer to come on and go off. If electricity goes off you will need to reset the timer to the correct time just like the clocks in your home

It turn off immediately. There is no delay timer in the unit. If you need that you could perhaps get a delay timer switch instead of the normal wall on/off switch.

There is a button on the side - the red one in the photo. If it is flipped in the off position, it will lose time. If you flip it to "timer" (I don't have mine in front of me so I am not certain of the exact indicator) it will time perfectly, and will actually turn on and off. I had a similar problem with mine and discovered that the switch had probably been knocked into the other position. If it's not that, it probably needs to be replaced.

Yes, if it's "Timer," it operates based on the timer you set up. If it's "On," then it stays on constantly

Perhaps, but you only hit the button when you start the timer. It automatically turns off when complete. Then you walk away.

The Timer switch is to set the time to time on and time off. The On button in the on position will automatically turn the device on and off at the times set. I hope this helps. Bob

Hi, we have not had any issues with our timer. Best of luck getting it working correctly.
