The HDFS3P1 is a 3 Amp, single pole Humidity Sensor and Fan Control 

Switch. This sensor helps conserve energy and automates the fan in which 

it is connected, which provides energy savings and reduces the possibility 

of mold and mildew. When the humidity sensor detects excess humidity in 

a room, it automatically turns on the ventilation fan. The sensor continues 

to monitor the air and automatically turns the fan off when the humidity 

level drops below its preset level.

Turn the POWER OFF at the circuit breaker before installing the sensor

Read and understand these instructions before installing. This device is 

intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code 

as well as local regulations. It is recommended that a qualified electrician 

performs this installation. Make sure to turn off the circuit breaker or 

fuse(s) and make sure power is off before wiring the device.

DIRECTIONS

The HDFS3P1 features three adjustable humidity levels for customizable 

control to suit the specific ventilation needs of the room. These humidity 

levels are as follows:

1.

 High Humidity (80% RH)

2. 

Medium Humidity (65% RH) 

*(default)

3. 

Low Humidity (45% RH)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Fan Mode: Manual ON, Auto OFF

a. The manual button is used to turn the fan off after a 20 minute time delay.

b. If the fan is in the ON state, the manual button is used to turn off the 

    fan before the time delay expires, the fan will immediately turn off and 

    the humidity sensor will stop working.

c. Turn ON the manual button and the humidity sensor will be operational 

    after 20 minutes.

Humidity Mode: Auto ON, Auto OFF

a. The Fan will turn ON automatically when preset humidity level is  

    reached and automatically turn OFF when the humidity level drops below 

    the preset.

b. If the humidity level is higher than preset for 3 minutes, then the fan will 

    continue to run for 5 minutes.

c. When the manual button is used to turn OFF the fan before the 20

    minutes is reached, the fan will turn OFF immediately and the humidity 

    sensor will stop detecting. Only when the manual button is set to ON 

    then the humidity sensor will resume operation after 20 minutes. Expect 

    a 3 minute delay for the automatic sensor to turn on the fan.
