New Broan and NuTone ULTRA Ventilation Fans Feature ULTRA Sense Humidity- or Motion-sensing Technology

Continuing in the tradition of best-in-class ventilation products, Broan-NuTone® has expanded its revolutionary line of BROAN® and NuTone®ULTRA™ Fans and Fan/Lights with the addition of 16 models with ULTRA Sense™. The new ULTRA Fans and Fan/Lights provide humidity- or motion-sensing capabilities while featuring the fastest, easiest, most universal installation to save contractors time and help meet stringent green building and ventilation codes. Available in single- and multi-speed models (motion-sensing capability featured in multi-speed models only), ULTRA Fans and Fan/Lights with ULTRA Sense operate at less than 0.3 Sones — the lowest sound rating possible — while operating or adjusting fan speed based on changes in humidity or motion.

Major benefits of the new ULTRA Fans and Fan/Lights include the following:

• ULTRA Sense™ H Humidity Sensing Technology:ULTRA Sense H (Fan/Light, pictured below right) detects a rapid rise in humidity to turn single-speed fans ON and multi-speed fans from LOW to HIGH. This means that they will react to shower humidity much faster than other competitive fans and wall controls that wait for a relative humidity set point to be reached. Users can enjoy a humidity free, comfortable environment much more quickly when taking a bath or shower. After a user-adjustable time delay, ULTRA Sense turns the fan OFF for single-speed fans and reduces the speed to the LOW continuous setting for multi-speed fans. ULTRA Sense offers an easily accessible humidity sensitivity adjustment to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment based on the user’s climate.
• ULTRA Sense™ M Motion Sensing Technology (multi-speed only):ULTRA Sense M is equipped with a sensor that turns multi-speed fans to HIGH when someone walks into the room and reduces fan speed to LOW after a user-adjustable time delay.
