OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Touch screen controls are installed on this unit. All of the unit’s functions can be
operated by lightly touching the desired function on the control panel.

NOTE: When rst connected to power, all of the LED lights should turn on for
2 seconds and be accompanied by 2 BEEP sounds. This signals the unit is
correctly assembled and ready for operation. The LED lights will then turn off,
leaving the unit in Standby mode. In this mode only the ON/OFF button will be
responsive. (Two BEEPs means: “connected to power”; one BEEP will sound
when using the touch screen functions; and one BEEP means “power off”.)

Oscillation

Press the POWER button to turn the Intellifan on. You must turn the Intellifan on
before selecting any additional wind speeds or modes.

Press the POWER button again to turn the Intellifan off and put it into STANDBY mode.

The wind SPEED and OSCILLATION settings will be saved from the last time it
was used providing that the Intellifan has remained in STANDBY mode power (by
leaving the Intellifan plugged in and switched on at the wall).

The previous MODES (NATURAL, SLEEP and ECO) and TIMER settings will not
be saved and the default setting will be OFF.

2. Mode

The default mode is NORMAL. Press the MODE button to switch between
“NATURAL BREEZE”, “SLEEP”, “ECO TEMPERATURE SENSOR” and “NORMAL”.
The LED panel will display the changes accordingly.

Each mode can be used in high, medium or low. The relevant wind speed will light
up next to the following icons on the LED display.

High
Medium
Low

9

• NORMAL – provides a constant wind speed. Select either, high, medium or

low wind speed.

NOTE: The NORMAL mode is not displayed on the LED panel. All three LED

MODE indicators will turn off in normal mode.

• NATURAL BREEZE – for the feeling of a natural breeze, this mode

provides a uctuating wind speed. This mode will also uctuate on high,
medium or low levels.

• SLEEP – this mode provides a natural breeze that gets softer. Perfect

to help you cool down quickly as you get to sleep and then keep you cool as
night temperatures descend.

- HIGH: First 30 minutes HIGH/NATURAL wind speed; next 30 minutes

MEDIUM/NATURAL wind speed; remaining time LOW/NATURAL

wind speed

- MED: First 30 minutes MEDIUM/NATURAL wind speed; remaining time

LOW/NATURAL wind speed

- LOW: Remaining time LOW/NATURAL wind speed

• ECO TEMPERATURE SENSOR – This mode adjusts the wind speed

depending on the room temperature. The Intellifan will automatically set the
wind speed to:

- HIGH, when the room temperature is greater than 29°C

- MEDIUM, when temperatures are between 25°C and 29°C

- LOW, in temperatures less than 25°C

Wind speed controlled with Smart sensor

3. TIMER

To activate, press the TIMER button, which will allow you to set the Intellifan’s
running time (either 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours or 8 hours). All four timer LED
indicators will turn off when TIMER is not activated.

4. SPEED

When the Intellifan is in operation, pressing the SPEED button will cycle through
the settings for LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH speed selections, which will be
displayed accordingly. These speed settings can be used in NORMAL, NATURAL
BREEZE, SLEEP AND ECO TEMPERATURE SENSOR modes.

5. HORIZONTAL OSCILLATION & BODY SENSOR

Select the angle you would like the Intellifan to turn horizontally. Choose from:

1. No horizontal oscillation (none of the horizontal oscillation LEDs will light up)

2. 60°

3. 90°

4. 180°

5. 360°

6. BODY SENSOR function (all the horizontal oscillation LEDs will light up in

turn). See “Body Sensor Function” section for further instructions.

6. 90° VERTICAL OSCILLATION

Set the vertical oscillation angle by pressing this button. Press once to start the
90° vertical oscillation and press again to stop it. The default setting for the 90°
VERTICAL OSCILLATION function is OFF.

EXTRA FEATURES

SAVED FUNCTIONS

When in STANDBY mode, the previous SPEED and OSCILLATION settings will
be saved.

The previous MODES (NATURAL BREEZE, SLEEP and ECO TEMPERATURE
SENSOR) and TIMER settings will not be saved and the default setting will be OFF.

AUTO DIMMING FUNCTION

The LED indicators will dim automatically if the control panel has not been
touched for more than 1 minute.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

One button celllithium battery (CR2032 3V) is used in the remote control.
Please insert the battery into the remote control tightly in line with the direction
of polarity. (See diagram below) If you do not plan to use the remote control for a
long time, please remove the battery.

12

BODY SENSOR FUNCTION

OPERATING THE BODY SENSOR

The body sensor function will be the default setting when turning on the Intellifan
if there is no pre-saved function from last use (see “Extra Features / Saved
Functions” section for more information about “SAVED FUNCTIONS”).

To manually activate the body sensor function, press and hold (for approx.
3 seconds) the HORIZONTAL OSCILLATION button until it BEEPs twice. All four
horizontal oscillation LED indicators will light up in turn.

The Intellifan will now rotate 360° to detect people within 2 meters of the Intellifan
and determine the suitable rotational arc. The Intellifan will BEEP when it detects
people. It may also perform an additional 360° degree turn to verify the location
of the people in the room. The Intellifan will then adjust its rotation to only the

area where people are located.

If no one is detected, the Intellifan will oscillate through 360° again searching
for people.

The Intellifan will recalibrate its rotation if people move from their original

locations.

Note that the Intellifan will not track people as they move around the room.
If people move frequently around the room, consider using one of the
pre-programmed angles of rotation.

To turn off the body sensor, press the HORIZONTAL OSCILLATION button.

BODY SENSOR TROUBLEShOOTING:

Why does the Intellifan BEEP multiple times at a person?

This is normal. The Intellifan may BEEP as it detects where a person’s body
starts and/or ends.

After the Intellifan has locked in its rotational arc, why does it rotate
past a person that it detected?

The Intellifan is designed to rotate up to 30° past a person to ensure the whole

person is cooled.

Why does the Intellifan sometimes BEEP and detect people who
aren’t there?

The body sensor’s accuracy is affected by multiple factors. One of the main
factors is the distance of people from the Intellifan. The further away people are
from the Intellifan, the less accurate the sensor will be. This can make the sensor
other objects and incorrectly classify them as people.

How does the Intellifan work?

The infrared body detector classies objects that are 37°C as being human.

There are many features I don’t use. How can I simplify its operation?

The easiest solution is to restrict the Intellifan’s cooling to a single wind speed
and oscillation angle. Whenever you press the Intellifan POWER button, it will
enter standby mode and save this setting until you press the POWER button
again to turn it back on (assuming the Intellifan remains plugged in and turned
on at the wall).

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Dust may accumulate on the Intellifan’s grill and can affect performance of the
appliance. It is recommended that the Intellifan be cleaned at least once per month.

Directions for cleaning exterior of the appliance:

Always remember to turn off the Intellifan and disconnect from the power source
before cleaning. Failing to do so may damage the product and risk electric shock.

Wipe down all parts of the Intellifan with a soft cloth. Do not use water to clean the
exterior or allow water to be sprayed or dripped onto any part of the appliance.

Do not use corrosive cleansers or detergents.

Do not use petroleum-based products such as gasoline, paint thinner or benzene
or any other chemical cleansers to wipe down the Intellifan.

Directions for storage:

It is recommended that during times of prolonged low use that the Intellifan be
returned to its packaging for storage to prevent accumulation of dust.

After repackaging, the appliance should be stored in a dry, well ventilated place.
