Location
Features
Leviton's Humidity Sensor and Fan Controller senses the humidity of your bathroom
and turns your bath fan ON when the humidity gets too high. This reduces
condensation in your bathroom and increases ventilation when used in other
household spaces.
Compatible with Incandescent, LED, CFL and ELV/MLV loads when used with
combination fan and light fixtures.
• Sensitivity adjustment.
• Built-in countdown timer feature for manual operation.
Automatic ventilation/air circulation mode for continuous operation, with hourly
preset time-outs.
With Zero Cross turn-ON technology to extend the life of the switching relays.
Advanced sensing enhances detection when room is occupied, and minimizes
false triggers when room is unoccupied.
Color change kits are available in white, light almond, ivory, black, brown,
and gray.
Also available as a Combination Single Pole Humidity Sensor and Fan Controller
with Light Switch (DHD05).
For bathroom applications, the device should be placed at a level that can detect
steam. Placing the detector directly above a heater or near drafts is
NOT recommended.
NOTES:
The Humidity Sensor and Fan Control will not eliminate all condensation and
must be used with a properly sized ventilation fan in an enclosed space.
DO NOT use to control a fan/light combination where the fan/light is the only
means of illumination.

Leviton DHS05-1LW Questions and Answers


#1 If I install the Decora Humidity Sensor and Fan Control, can I manually control my exhaust fan?

Yes, press the fan icon on the face of the device to manually activate the fan. The time that the fan will stay ON is pre set to a default of 20 minutes, but can be adjusted to 10, 20, 30 or 45 minutes.

#2 What does the Air Cycle mode do?

Air Cycle mode automatically turns ON a ventilation fan for a set period and repeats the cycle hourly . Ideal in areas like basements or home spas which require periodic ventilation on a continuous basis.

#3 What does the Humidistat mode do?

This mode turns ON a ventilation fan periodically while the relative humidity level is above the humidistat setting and repeats hourly until the level falls below the setting. Ideal in areas requiring periodic ventilation on a continuous basis.

#4 Can the Leviton Humidity Sensor and Fan Control operate a fan with a light load?

Yes, if the light and fan are on the same “hot” switched leg. It is not recommended in applications where the fan/light combination is the sole light source in the room.

#5 Can the Decora Humidity Sensor and Fan Control be used in applications other than a bathroom?

The device is designed to control bathroom exhaust fans up to ¼ HP. Other applications may include ventilation fans in basements, laundry rooms or home spas.
