I am looking for a thermostat with a quick feature to turn on the fan (not in AC or Heat mode) and run it for a short period of time. Can this??

This thermostat has a circulate function that turns the fan on and off automatically to keep the air fresh in heat and cool modes so the fan will run at least 5 minutes for every 15 minutes or so. This works good for me. You can set the temp higher in cool mode, lower in heat mode and the fan will still turn on and off.

You can do this manually from the touch screen. Might also be able to program one of the periods to just fan without heat or cool but have not tried.

There is an option to run the fan where it is always on. There is an "auto" function when it only runs when the furnace/ac is running. And there is a function where it can be set to run randomly about 35% of the time whether the furnace/ac is running or not.

It will run the fan ONLY in fan mode, however this is supposed to run the fan about 30% of the time. I do not know if there is any way to set specific times for the fan only.

That would be a great idea. I never tried that but don't think it would work. the controls (mine has two) have to be set manually each time to the heat setting you want. They shut off after about 10 -12 hours. They will not come on automatically by adding power. 9

I concur with the others. You cannot. You can program it to turn the heat or cool on or off but no just the fan itself. The heat or cool will cool kicks in as well.

Yes. The thermostat is on a small circuit board -- easily reachable. A pair of wires comes from the solar panel -- cut that. Another pair goes to the fan. Cut that pair and connect to solar pair. Run free. Sam

Not unless you can find a remote thermostat for fan type unit heaters - not sure there is such a thing. Most remote thermostats will cut power to the whole unit without allowing the fan to cool down the element, which will eventually fry the element.

Not sure I understand your question. The fan's on/off is controlled by the thermostat switch which is attached to the fan. You set what temperature you want the fan to turn on/off and it will operate at that temperature.

the fan has one speed.the cord is about a foot long.this unit has a pre-,post-purge fan that has to be left plugged in at all times during use. it can not be used with a thermostat.it heats great ,but is a pain with out a temp.control.

You can set the thermostat so that the fan will automatically turn on (or off) when the room temperature rises above (or below) the set temperature. [It normally displays the current room temperature - except when you are Setting it to a start temperature].

No, the fan operation cannot be programed. It has only two manual settings (slide type switch) - Auto and On; "Auto" turns the fan on and off in conjunction with either heat or cool program; "On" must be selected manually and turns the fan on immediately independent of either the cooling or heating programs. There is no function to program fan only.

The thermostat turns the unit off when the temperature drops below 70F. You would need to decide whether you want the fan to operate in temperatures below 70F (example: sunny day with temperatures in the 50s or 60s)

I used mine as a delayed start for a fan on an offroad vehicle. I believe this also works in a way that you can time how long you want power on then it will shut off. It will adjust from 1 second to hours..... No manual so you will have to do some figuring out yourself.

I wired my fan to a switch and hard wired the humidity sensor. This ensures that the fan will come on when the humidity levels rise (when taking a shower) whether the switch is on or off Yes, the fan could randomly come on in the summer if the humidity levels are higher (you can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor), but isn't that the point of the fan? Plus it costs less than pennies to run.

No!...it's used, in my case, to control an attic fan. It turns on at 85d and and off at 70d. It sounds like you need a heating thermostat.

No the fan on only, has no program available. The Heat or Cool settings are programrable.

I would like to do nearly the same thing. I would like to replace the wall switch with an automated relay switch (on/off)-- then control the fan with a handheld remote. I am trying to find out if this will work. Has anybody tried this?

There is a vacation mode you can trigger by wiring a pair of wires to the thermostat and using a contact switch which can presumably be controlled by the multi-zone system. I ran the wires to control mine but I haven't hooked it up to anything yet.

Sure, it has a thermostat to adjust temp. Or turn it completely off, I usually just run mine on the weekends in my man cave.
