CFM Adjustment Technology

CFM Adjustment Technology (CAT)
Some local codes or regulations have limits on CFMs. FOTILE CAT function of Pixie Air series enables the builders/installers/contractors to set the maximum CFM no more than 400CFM. Or the consumers may prefer to enjoy more effective ventilation with a make-up air system.

Under CAT state and normal state (i.e., ex-factory state), the motor speeds corresponding to the airflow are as follows:

Air Flow Speeds corresponding to different conditions
CAT Status |Normal Status
Boost Function Failure P4
High P2 P3
Medium P2 P2
Low P1 P1

warningAttention:
THE CAT setting is IRREVERSIBLE. DO NOT TRY IF NOT NECESSARY,
