Q: If I disable the CONDENSATION SENSOR, can I still operate the fan manually?
A: Yes. Disabling the sensor effectively turns the CONTROL into a manual on/off
switch that runs and then shuts off on the adjustable timer setting.
Q: I use an air conditioner during the day in the summer, then turn it off at night.
When I do this my fan comes on, what's happening?
A: Sometimes, when the air conditioning is turned off, the house will start to attract
condensation (humidity). The effect is similar to taking a shower or a bath. The
CONTROL senses the increased condensation (humidity) and turns the fan ON. To
avoid this, you can reduce the CONTROL's sensitivity level. See PAGES 16-17 for
instructions on how to do this.
Q: The BLUE LED LIGHT is pulsing, what's that mean?
A: The pulsing is telling you that the CONTROL sees condensation (humidity) and
is running the fan to remove the condensation. When the BLUE LED LIGHT is solid
(not pulsing on/off) the fan is on and either in manual timer mode or in sensor
operated drying mode. Note: When the CONTROL senses condensation, it will run
the fan as long as it takes to dry the room back to the level it saw your room at prior
to the condensation. After a shower or bath, this is typically 25-35 minutes. The
manual timer setting does not change the drying time. It is important that your room
is properly dried. The manual timer is for smell removal time only.
Q: I lost the SETTINGS TOOL that came with the CONTROL SCREW KIT, can I
use a screwdriver to make adjustments?
A: Yes. You can use any small tool, just be careful not to break the small sensitivity
and timer dials. Larger tools especially are more likely to cause damage.
Q: What happens if someone turns the fan off before the room is fully dried?
A: The CONTROL knows when your room needs to be dried. If someone turns the
control off manually, it's alright. The CONTROL will still sense the condensation and
turn on again after 1 minute to finish drying the room.
Q: If I set my countdown timer to 5 minutes, does that mean that the fan will only
run for 5 minutes when condensation is detected?
A: No. The timer is only used with manual operation. Manual operation is meant
only for smell removal, or removing stale air. The CONDENSATION SENSOR in
the CONTROL runs based on condensation detection only and will always run the
fan as long as it takes to return the room back to its original dryness level before
the shower or bath.
Q: I really like the CONTROL, can I order a second one separately?
A: Yes! Visit our website at www.dewstop.com to purchase more DewStop Humidity
