Sensaire® technology detects rapid increases in moisture levels at the ceiling, where steam and humidity naturally rise. Regular humidistats located on the wall simply detect absolute humidity levels and are prone to false triggers, or not operating when they should. - An automated solution to fight excess humidity and mold. Our humidity sensing fans turn on and off automatically to help prevent cosmetic and structural problems associated with excess moisture. - Adjust the sensitivity level and run-time. Just beneath the drop-down grille are easy-to-adjust sensitivity and run-time controls. Choose your preference, set with a screwdriver and forget it. Of course, you can always override the sensor at the touch of a switch. - Hands-free operation. Since you never have to worry about turning the fan on, Broan Ultra SilentT is ideal for problem areas in residential, institutional and light-commercial applications. Our exclusive Sensaire® technology is a perfect solution for high-traffic bathrooms, or a kid's bathroom. - It turns off automatically, and that saves money. Humidity sensing fans are ideal for anyone who leaves the house before humidity is properly vented. With a fan this quiet, you can't forget to turn it off when the job is done. That saves energy and money.

Humidity control automatically turns fan ON when either of these conditions is detected: - a rapid to moderate (user adjustable) increase of humidity - humidity above user-adjustable set-point (50%-100% RH) . Two wire manual operation for odor control - Turns fan ON when power line through wall switch is cycled ON, OFF and back ON . Remains ON for a user-adjustable 5 to 60 minutes after humidity has stabilized and is below set-point or after manually initiated through power line cycling .

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
Not as silent as I had hoped but still quiet. Does a good job with a very humid bathroom. Love the automatic feature, and that it can still be turned on by the switch! Great product, I would buy it again.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
I own a 150 year old house. I chose this model because the humidity sensor allows wiring to an existing circuit that was already available in my attic. That circuit is to the attic vent fan, which has a temprature switch and an existing wall switch which is always on. This allows me to run the new fan auto or manual mode,It was a great advantage for me not having to run a new circuit and install a new switch in these ancient walls. It works great. We are more than pleased. The only problem: the fan housing is not designed for easy retrofit installation in an existing ceiling. Since my ceiling consists of 3/4" of plaster over 1/4" lath I was not about to try to cut a large hole and fill it with drywall. So I cut a hole to just fit the unit with extended cuts on one side to allow the mounting flanges to pass through. Then i bent the exhaust extrusions flat in order to be able to push the unit into place. After mounting to the joists I bent the extrusions back with no problem and installed the exhaust fitting. Then I spackled the overcuts and painted the ceiling. Looks great, runs great, and we are very happy. Thanks for a wonderful product.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
My application was a retrofit situation. I bought this unit to replace the original Broan 688J (50 CFM; 2 Sones; 3" Duct) that was undersized (& noisy) for a 7' x 10' bathroom. Installation definitely requires attic access given the upsizing of duct and the mounting option used (screwed directly to adjacent ceiling joist). The supplied hanger bars were not used. Strongly recommend to inspect the fan housing & duct connector prior to install to foil-tape-close all air-leak sources (unused holes & inadvertent openings). Not doing this will result in significant attic-air intrusion into the vented air space. The fan has been installed about 3 weeks as of this writing. The short-term opinion is one of satisfaction all around.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
I INSTALLED THIS PRODUCT IN MY BATHROOM. IT IS SO QUITE, I HAD TO GO INTO THE ACTIC TO MAKE SURE IT WAS WORKING. THE MINUTE IT DETACTS MOISTURE, IT BEGINS TO WORK. AFTER A SHOWER, THE MIRROR CLEARS UP IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. IT ALSO IS GREAT WHEN USED MANUALLY TO REMOVE BATHROOM ORDERS. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, SO I HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING NEGATIVE YET.
