Fan controller

Abstract

A fan control system includes a main fan controller and at least one auxiliary fan controller. The main fan controller has circuitry for running a fan on a preset cycle, the preset cycle having a preset speed for a preset time. The main fan controller is associated with a first space having a first ventilation port in communication with the fan. The at least one auxiliary fan controller is associated with a second space having a second ventilation port in communication with the fan. Each of the main fan controller and at least one auxiliary fan controller has circuitry for activating the fan to run on a temporary cycle having a temporary speed for a preset time. Each of the main fan controller and at least one auxiliary fan controller further includes an indicator for displaying activation status of the temporary cycle.
