August 25, 2021

Eaton’s humidity sensor and fan control device is a single pole humidity sensor for controlling the humidity level in a room. This sensor controls the humidity level by detecting excess humidity in damp areas, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms or spas, then activating the ventilation fan when humidity is present and turning the fan off when the humidity level has dropped. This device helps to prevent mold and mildew by detecting and removing moisture in the air, which in turn provides for a more comfortable and welcoming environment.  The fan also will turn off the exhaust fan after the humidity level drops to a comfortable level which helps to save energy.

Additional features include:

  •    –   Replaces standard single pole switch
  •    –   Turns fan ON/OFF automatically based on present humidity level
  •    –   Includes 3 humidity settings adjustment:High, Medium and Low
  •    –   Humidity range 45%-80% relative humidity
  •    –   Manual ON / automatic OFF for fan
  •    –   Time delay for fan is 30 minutes
  •    –   Fan can be manually controlled for immediate ventilation needs
  •    –   Maximum fan load 1/4HP, 3A
  •    –   Compatible with traditional, decorator or screwless switch wallplate

With the pushbutton unit PITgatebox you can easily and flexibly control safety gate switches and systems. And there’s another added safety factor thanks to the integration of PITreader – user authentication. This enables user permissions to be checked via RFID key before the gates are operated. That way it’s possible to ensure that the right group of people has access to the plant, based on qualifications and the tasks of the relevant personnel.
