- Turning the dial towards a lower setting (e.g., 'Min' or a lower percentage) means the fan will activate at lower humidity levels, running more frequently.
- Adjust incrementally and observe fan behavior over a few days to find the optimal setting for your needs.
5.2 Timer Adjustment
The timer controls how long the fan continues to run after the switched live supply is turned off (e.g., after the light is switched off) or after the humidity drops below the set point.
- Locate the timer adjustment dial or screw (often labeled 'Timer' or with time increments).
- The timer can typically be set from a few minutes up to 30 minutes.
- Turn the dial to increase or decrease the run-on time as desired.
