Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating range of the motion sensor?

The sensor can detect motion up to 10 feet (3m) away, and its field of view is 90 degrees.

How does the unit behave after motion detection ceases?

Following motion detection, the unit maintains a higher speed for an adjustable duration ranging from 0.5 to 60 minutes before lowering speed or switching off (depending on manual settings).

Are there specific mounting requirements for the sensor unit?

For joists spaced 16 inches apart, use suspension bracket I; for 19.2 inches, use bracket III; and if spacing exceeds 19.2 inches, use a combination of brackets II & III.

Where should insulation be applied during attic installation?

The proper insulation measures include placing loose fill or batt insulation directly over the fan housing in the attic and caulking box joints to drywall.
