1)will the firestat shut off feature of this item work with Broan attic fan model #353? And, 2)can this be set to turn fan on &amp; off at diff temp?

This closes the circuit(on) as the temperature rises and will go off when below your set temperature. As a bimetal, it requires no batteries. Place the box where a sample of high temperature would be detected. I wired mine to a plug with a cord for ease of use.

Mine has a pull chain for hi/low/off. However, I leave mine on high and put an inline remote on it so I can turn it on an off from the living room. You will need to wire it with some type cord to a standard 110V power supply. I had a power outlet already in the attic for an attic fan so I simply wired my fan via an extension cord to the power outlet. Easy.

I used mine as a delayed start for a fan on an offroad vehicle. I believe this also works in a way that you can time how long you want power on then it will shut off. It will adjust from 1 second to hours..... No manual so you will have to do some figuring out yourself.

Fan ON is set default by the manufacturer. As per my understanding the factory ON - OFF differential is 8F. In "Plain English", you just set the OFF temperature and the fan will do the rest. If you set your OFF at 90F then fan will automatically turn ON at 98F and turn OFF at 90F. Hope this helps.

Hi. I intend on using this timer with a FV-11VQ5 WhisperCeiling™ 110 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan, in a single pole application.Is this the correct timer switch? Thanks.

OK, first this is a thermostat, it closes relays when the temperature is right and also the fan relay. The battery only powers the display and relay when you hit temperature. Don't worry about the voltage 12, 24. the thermostat connects the + from either the air or heater to the heater wire or the ac wire or the fan. If you go to modmyrv.com they have instructions there are only a few AC and heaters they use. Sorry for the long answer but I'm an HVAC guy, and this is not rocket science.

Sorry I cannot help you there. When I bought mine I am not sure if the fan was defective but when I turned it on it bearly, I mean bearly blew any heat, so I sent it back to Amazon and did not get a new one.

Yes. I can only get mine to run on the high setting. Not sure what the BTU output is ? It starts out wide open then tapers off maybe to the low setting ?It will not function in any other setting. Thinking about tossing it before something bad happens.I also had to move the safety shutoff probe closer to the heat grid to get it to work at all.

To my knowledge is it not controlled by any sort of sensor. There is an adjustment dial for fan speed but that's about it. I don't think you can turn it off either.

Keep the existing gable vent. This is what was done in my attic and it is working fine. Gable at the other end of attic would let in almost same amount of air that fan will expel. My therostat is set at 100. The only thing I noticed is that fan runs even when outside temperature has dropped, because attic is still hotter than 100 degrees. Automatic vent is not going to change that.

Hi Mary, did you already buy this fan? You have to run a 20 amp circuit dedicated just for this unit. In the instructions it tells you. I'm pretty sure if you want, you can go to Broan website and download or view installation instructions that gives you your information you're looking for. Btw, I bought this because of my mother in law who moved in with my wife and I. My wife and I and mother in law love the heater. I turn on exhaust fan and turn on heater and when you get out of shower you're nice and warm and the mirror isn't fogged up! I hope I helped you out with info. Don't forget the switch they recommend as you will need that to operate the fan. It does not come with the fan. Hi Mary, did you already buy this fan?

My brown dome unit came complete. I replaced the same type that lasted 28 years. I just pulled the old one and placed the new one, reconnected the electric, set the thermostat and waited for a warm day to fine tune the thermostat setting. Not all that noisy and it helps keep the attic temperature down.

Given your E-Mail I tried to set the temperature below room temperature and discovered that the fan shuts OFF if the selected temperature is below room temperature. Since it is sold as a heater, I suspect that fan without heat is not possible. However, I bought it as a heater only to begin with and suspect that fan without heat is not possible. As a result of my experiment above I now suspect that the internal thermostat allows the fan to come ON only if heat is required to achieve the selected temperature.

Hi Donna. When it reaches a set temperature, the AC turns off, but the fan stays on. This way, if the temperature goes up again, the AC will turn back on.

Yes. It has a tip-over, air blockage, fan-not-turning feature that shuts it off. I know the tip over works on mine.

yes and it hardly shuts off, even if the temp is set and room temp does get to its number fan keeps going. Also when the one of the heating infra-red bulbs burn out u can't replace them without destroying unit. The fan is somewhat quiet but still hardly ever shuts off. Trust me, I have ceiling heat in a 1960 house and with electric prices through the roof I have tried several style heaters, amazing enough the BEST HEATERS ARE THE UGLY OIL FILLED RADIATOR HEATERS. Hope this helps!!
