humidistat fan question.

[vw754]

Hi all.......ive purchased a bathroom fan with timer and humidity sensor.

im concerned how to set the humidity,its 60%-90% and with my bathroom being only 6x6 wall to wall.........it gets quite a bit of steam built up before the fan kicks in,by then the tiles are dripping with moisture/condensation

my question is............if i want the fan to come on quicker than it does,do i need to turn the sensor dial towards the 60% or towards the 90% ?

here's what i've had .....................http://www.fantronix.com/acatalog/Shower_Designer_Metal_150mm_6__dia.html

The humidity setting represents the percentage of moisture in the air. So 60% has less moisture in it that 90%. The lower the number, the earlier the fan will cut in.

The average indoor UK humidity is about 50% so if you set it too low, you might find in humid weather it will run continually. It's probably a case of 'suck it and see'. [pun intended ]
