Is the thermostat really mounted in the airflow inside the fan shroud? Is it hard wired to the motor making it difficult to move?

It is hard wired to the motor, and inside the fan shroud. I suppose you could mount the thermostat at a different location if you really wanted too, since it is in a separate housing with some effort, but why would you want to? Is the fan going to be in a radically different place than the thermostat? If the fan is on the temperature in the attic is going to even out pretty quickly.

First answer - if I remember it was part of the fan unit but not permanently attached. Second- it was not difficult to move. What I decided - I bought an external thermostat and humidistat in one separate unit.I decided not to use the thermostat located with the motor since it had no humidistat.

No and no. It's a plug in transformer box with a wire attached and the end of the wire is split to be put into the respective places in the thermostat wiring.

No it is not. I removed the down rod to prevent the fan from moving in windy weather.

Yes, the way the motors are oriented allows for airflow out toward the walls of the room as opposed to directly down like a standard ceiling fan. Thank you, Michael H. Dan's Fan City

I thought it was better to have it pull the hot air out of the cabinet. But the way this fan is designed, the fancy brushed aluminum face of the fan is made to mount on the inside of the cabinet. When it's mounted inside the cabinet, it actually pulls cooler air into the cabinet. I have it setup this way in my server cabinet running a FiOS router, Ethernet switch, Mac Mini and 5 Bay Synology NAS server and it's keeping the temperature well within spec. Plus the fan wiring is on the back side so it'd have to be on the outside of your cabinet anyway.

Why do people (like the ones below) bother to answer when they don't even understand the question?Anywho, while Ventech doesn't specifically say so on their website I'm fairly positive this is a brushed motor. The reason why is because they also sell a variable speed controller to be used with the fans and it states "This router speed controller works with any universal AC/DC brush-type motor". Since they don't sell any other speed controllers, and due to the price of the fan, I doubt it's brushless.

I have had this installed for 6 months now. It is typically used with a variable speed control in place of an on/off switch. It is an industrial strength fan. When it is running at full speed it is moving a lot of air, making it necessary to raise your voice a bit to talk over the noise. But it really airs out the room in a hurry. At low speeds, it is much quieter. The air noise is just a whisper, but there is still a noticeable hum from the motor.

There is a pull chain that controls the on/off and fan speed. We have our fan mounted in the garage from the ceiling. It is provides a very good airflow and would likely be too strong indoors if run on high speed. I do love the fan. I wish I would have bought it years ago.

Temp sensor isn't part of the fan. Temp sensor was located on the block on my ATV, which is what I used this for. Fan consists of a motor and a lead to connect to your wiring.

The unit is nothing more than a thermostatically controlled relay. The wires hanging off the unit are connected to contact points inside. Just make sure that your fan current pull, does not exceed the current rating of the EL4V's contact points. I assume this is a single speed fan.

I haven't done it yet, but it should not be difficult at all. The fans are mounted to a hinged plate that opens. You can completely remove them from the unit. They are plugged into the power supply, not hard wired. So you simply unplug them, release a couple of latches that secure them to the hinged plate and take them out.

However, the thermostat is used for heating, and the fan is used for cooling so it won't work. Its inverted.

Yes, the temperature sensor is up there somewhere, maybe above the ceiling, not sure. We use it in quite a small room, just to move the air about. For getting hot air right out of the house we have an Air King 9166 20 Inch 3560 CFM Whole House Window Fan with Storm Guard Housing in the window of the third floor hall. It works really well, pulling all the way through the house what starts as cool air from the first floor library and the second floor office's window a/c units; cost $134.00 from www.ventingdirect.com in May this year.

No. It has 3 holes in the base to mount the fan and the fan motor and cage can be repositioned manually about 45 degrees in all directions.

the positive of course is the power I hooked mine to the positive battery cable then to the fuse out of the fuse to the thermostat depends on rotation of the fan that you want suck or blow mine blows out the front of the car one wire goes to ground depends on direction before putting connectors on try it first I do not have a switch in the car to power it. like I said I just hooked to the battery and let it work automatic. the ground wire comes from the fan not the wire from thermostat that is a switch like you have in your house on or off then adjust for temp. hard to explain if I could draw it it would be easier to explain.

I think the auto thermostat just speeds up the fan when under load. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yes, it is attached and wired through the inside of it. That is the problem that initially broke off fan blades (I think) with the wire getting caught up.
