Automatically senses airflow and turns booster fan ON/OFF. The Duct Stat automatically turns an attached duct booster (see above) on when the flow of heated air is sensed (in heat mode) or the flow of cold air is sensed in (cool mode). Automatically turns the duct booster off when the flow of air stops.Installs on the outside of the duct downstream of the duct booster. The Duct Stat must be manually switched between heat/cool modes in the winter and in the summer. Works with any of the duct booster fans above. FAQ: What will a DuctStat do for me The DuctStat Line Voltage Thermostat greatly simplifies the installation of the power supply to any of our Inductor In-Line Duct Booster Fans. Tell me how it simplifies the installation: When you install an Inductor, it often happens to be in a location far from your furnace system. Air has a long run to those areas and loses much of its volume and heat (cool in the summer) along the way. This also means that the wire you must run has to go a long distance. Perhaps you have drywalled ceiling in you basement, making it difficult if not impossible to run a wire from the Inductor to the furnace for operating power. No matter what reason, the DuctStat allows you to control the automatic ON/OFF function of your Inductor locally, both for winter heating and summer cooling. Where do I install the DuctStat The preferred location of the DuctStat is just ahead (downstream) from the Inductor fan but not closer than 8 inches. Otherwise, anywhere on a duct where it can sense heated or cooled air. How do I install the DuctStat The DuctStat is an electronic temperature sensitive line voltage thermostat, meaning it switches a 110-120 Volt AC outlet on the front panel ON and OFF depending on the user preset temperature. It mounts on the duct in which your Inductor is installed with 2 or 4 sheet metal screws. You will make a small '' hole in the metal duct before installing the DuctStat. The DuctStat has a corresponding hole in the back of the housing. This allows a small amount of air to flow through the DuctStat over the temperature-sensing element, thus sensing if your furnace is running (heated air) or if your air conditioner is running (cooled air). Can I build a DuctStat into a wall, i.e. drywall or panel over it No. The DuctStat must remain accessible. You will have to switch the function switch to HEAT for the winter and COOL for the summer. You may also need access for service, cleaning or to replace the front panel fuse. Can I use it to control other stuff depending on temperature Yes. Simply mounted on a wall, the DuctStat will sense ambient temperature and turn device ON or Off at a user selected temperature. You may control any device with a 5 Amp maximum load such as: a warning siren or light, electric operated vent louver, the Suncourt ThruWall Fan, Airiva Heat Recovery Ventilators, solar panel fans, greenhouse louvers or fans, etc. How many Inductor fans can I control with the DuctStat The maximum lo
