DESCRIPTION

These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414.
These products use a sirocco fan driven by a DC motor powered by an integral transformer. The motor is
designed to have long operating life, high dynamic response, higher speed ranges with saving energy.
The grille covering the fan body is a spring-loaded, quick remove type. A damper for preventing air counter
flow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level.

This Panasonic ventilating fan model is equipped with a motion sensor and a humidity sensor that turn
on automatically when motion is detected, when humidity increases rapidly, or when humidity rises above
a 30% ~ 80% relative humidity set-point. It is user-adjustable to operate 0.5 ~ 60 minutes after the sensors
are no longer detected.
