Is the fan controlled by a temperature sensor, or must you turn it off and on manually?

Not sure if it is temperature sensed, but there is NO external ON/OFF switch for the fan (only the unit as a whole). My guess is it is a low RPM fan that runs continuously. I will tell you the fan is so quiet that you have to take a flashlight and look to see if it is actually running.

There are two controls. One is off, fan only, fan with heat. The other is a thermostat that controls whe. The heat cycles on and off.

The fan only runs when the system is actively cooling to whatever temperature it is programmed to achieve. Once it hits the programmed temp, the fan kicks off, until the temp hits the upper limits of the parameter programmed. It should go off and on, as needed.

No, only the fan has sensors. Light remains manual. I have all three features (main light, night light, and fan) switched for easier control. The night light is enough light to prevent trips but not overly bright.

The system functions are heat. cool. off. The fan is auto or off. I am very pleased with my thermostats.

I think it's just a matter of semantics, like the "foul pole" on a baseball field actually being in fair territory. The fan is "off" until the temperature rises to the point set on the dial. Be sure to provide shade for the sensor, or the fan will come on prematurely.

Fan ON is set default by the manufacturer. As per my understanding the factory ON - OFF differential is 8F. In "Plain English", you just set the OFF temperature and the fan will do the rest. If you set your OFF at 90F then fan will automatically turn ON at 98F and turn OFF at 90F. Hope this helps.

While running on the automatic thermostat feature, does the fan stay running constantly? Will it shut itself off at a time setting? Can you set it shut itself off after four hours of run time?

Not sure if I understand the question correctly. I live in the tropics with tenperatures between 72 F at night and 94 F in the day. The fan has never given me any trouble. I turn it on and it works every time until I turn it off.

Yes, you can set it on "heat" and set a minimum set point for the fan to come on. I use the low speed for winter heat. I have the fan come on when the duct temp reaches 68 degrees. It runs until the furnace cycles off and the duct cools down below 68 degrees. Then it automatically shuts off. In the summer I set it on the cool mode and have the fan on high. I also use a different set point for that. The sensor works well. My only MAJOR complaint is that the summer fan is tooooooooo small. With all this technology the summer fan dosen't have enough guts to cool my bedroom. The winter is good, the summer leaves me complaining. So, it all depends on what season you really want this for the most. Good luck. Yes, you can set it on "heat" and set a minimum set point for the fan to come on. I use the low speed for winter heat.

There is a dial that adjusts the rpms of the fan. It is manual and analog. There is not a sensor. I just manually set it to what feels right, it's in the basement so noise is not an issue for me. It's not that loud anyway...

I disabled the motion sensor by removing the grill, removing the motion sensor from the grill, placing a piece of tape over the sensor, and then reinstalling the sensor in the grill. This allowed me to operate the fan continuously at low speed, using the RPM control to set it as desired.

do I have to buy a remote for this fan or can be controlled manually like most of the ceiling fans?

This switch is a thermostat that turns on the fan at a set temperature and turns it off at another set temperature. Very simple hookup with clear wiring diagram.

I didn't see anything in the manual about just programming the fan - you have and 'auto' and 'manual' setting on the fan switch - auto has the fan come on only when the heat or cooling comes on - manual has the fan run constantly with or without heat or cooling until you turn it off -

The fan has four settings...Off..low speed...medium speed...and high speed. It doesn't turn on or off automatically. Hope this helps
