These models kick-up to a maximum level of 80 CFM either when the switch is turned on(FV-08VKSL2)or activated by the A High/Low Delay Timer, Iocated inside the fan body, is utilized to return the fan back to the Pre-set continuous ventilation mode. factors increase static pressure hindering the performance of most ventilation fans. These fans utilize microchip technology that monitors the static pressure in the system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending on the amount of resistance. This allows the fan to perform as rated, whether facing 0. 1, 0. 2 or even 0. 25 inches water gauge. The bottom line is that it makes for easier installation. The installer no longer has to worry about compromising the fan's performance. technology. The new DC motor is 30%-70%more energy efficient than the minimum ENERGY STAR requirements.
