Exhaust fan AWENTA ESCUDO WEI100H with hygrostato — model KO160-05

AWENTA ESCUDO WEI100H is an exhaust fan with an integrated hygrostat designed to control humidity in bathrooms, toilets and other damp spaces. The unit combines a compact centrifugal impeller and a humidity sensor that automatically starts and stops the fan when the relative humidity level crosses a preset threshold. The fan is suitable for wall or ceiling mounting in residential and light-commercial interiors where reliable humidity-regulated ventilation is required.

Advantages

The fan provides automatic humidity sensing that reduces manual intervention and helps limit condensation and mold growth by extracting moist air as needed. Its compact form factor allows flexible installation on walls or ceilings, while the integrated control reduces the need for separate timers or external humidity controllers. Designed for continuous or intermittent operation, the model delivers stable airflow for small to medium wet rooms with relatively low noise and straightforward electrical connection.

Suitable for

• Bathroom and shower rooms
• Toilets and guest WCs
• Utility rooms and laundry areas
• Small commercial washrooms and service rooms

Key specifications

• Function: humidity-controlled extraction with built-in hygrostat
• Mounting: wall or ceiling
• Intended application: ventilation of damp rooms and sanitary spaces
• Operation modes: automatic start/stop based on relative humidity
• Design features: compact housing and integrated control for simplified installation

How to use

Install the fan in a suitable position on a wall or ceiling where it can effectively extract moist air from the wet-room zone. Connect the unit to the mains supply following local electrical regulations and the manufacturer’s wiring instructions. Set the hygrostat threshold so the fan activates at the desired relative humidity level; after installation, verify correct operation by increasing humidity (for example, during a shower) and observing automatic start and stop cycles. For safety and performance, ensure the extraction ducting is appropriately sized and free from obstructions.

Usage recommendations

For best results, place the fan close to the source of moisture and avoid long, narrow duct runs. Regularly inspect and clean the impeller and inlet grille to maintain airflow. If the room has strong odors or continuous high humidity, verify that the hygrostat threshold is set correctly and consider combined use with periodic manual ventilation.
