► With the MC-10A controller configured to the desired settings, the display screen should now show the current temperature and relative humidity for the fan controller assigned to network channel one. Temperature Display [1] and Humidity Display [12] will show “- -” on the display screen whenever the MC-10A Remote Interface Controller is not able to establish communication with a fan controller on the wireless network.
Automatic Control Mode By default, all fans on the Breeze Mate™ control system network are set to automatic mode off when first installed. Fans may be configured for automatic mode operation either individually if needed, or all at the same time using the network’s global update channel.

Adjusting Temperature & Humidity The Breeze Mate™ control system offers independent control of both temperature and humidity. Based on the control set points selected, your fan will continue operation until both the temperature and humidity set point targets are satisfied. Temperature and humidity set points may be adjusted for each fan controller individually, or all at the same time using the network’s global update channel.
Additionally, the Fan Power LED Indicator [14] on the FC-10A Fan Controller will be illuminated when the selected fan is operating. Operation of your Attic Breeze fan may be configured within the below set point ranges: Temperature 32F° - 122°F (0°C - 50°C)
Setting the Clock The MC-10A Remote Interface Controller features an electronic clock for your convenience. The clock may be configured for either 12 hour or 24 hour time mode display. ► Access the Clock Menu by holding down the Clock Button [7] for 10 seconds.

Testing for Attic Depressurization The Breeze Mate™ solar ventilation system features our proprietary differential pressure sensing technology designed to prevent attic depressurization. When an attic space has insufficient intake ventilation, depressurization of the attic may occur resulting in decreased energy efficiency and poor performance from your solar attic fan.
Page 15
For optimum fan performance, Attic Breeze recommends beginning with a Depressurization Alarm Threshold [27] setting of “2” pressure units. This alarm setting will ensure that your Attic Breeze solar attic fan is supplied with sufficient air intake ventilation to operate at maximum performance.
Page 16
Due to the extreme sensitivity designed into our pressure sensing technology, normal variations in the barometric pressure will be observed during testing. For this reason, Attic Breeze recommends performing the Depressurization Test during clear and sunny weather conditions to minimize interference from changes in barometric pressure.
Page 17
A “passed” test indicates that your attic has the proper amount of intake ventilation to support your ventilation system. Please note that the Breeze Mate™ control system defaults to automatic mode off upon exit of the Depressurization Test. Automatic control must be turned on after testing to resume temperature and humidity control.
