Panasonic fv-wcd01-a Bath Countdown Hourly Timer 120V 15A

Product Description

The PANASONIC fv-wcd01-a WhisperControl is a preset countdown and hourly timer wall control designed for residential bathroom ventilation fans. Operating at 120 VAC and rated for 15 amps, this switch gives installers and homeowners a straightforward way to program fan run time from 5 to 60 minutes using the countdown mode. Once the preset time elapses, the fan shuts off automatically. The unit also includes an adjustable Minutes Per Hour (MPH) timer function, allowing technicians to configure continuous periodic ventilation to support ASHRAE 62.2 compliance. A light almond wall plate is included. The fv-wcd01-a uses standard On/Off operational control and mounts directly to a single-gang wall box via a 6-inch lead terminal connection.

This timer control is suited for residential bathroom exhaust fan installations where occupant-initiated timed ventilation is required. The preset countdown function is well-matched for multi-tenant residential buildings, apartments, or family homes where automatic shutoff prevents unnecessary fan run time. The MPH hourly timer function supports whole-house ventilation strategies governed by ASHRAE 62.2, making this control appropriate for new construction and renovation projects subject to energy code requirements. It pairs with Panasonic WhisperControl-compatible exhaust fans but functions as a general bath fan wall controller in compatible low-voltage or line-voltage fan installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for line-voltage wall controls. Power down the circuit at the breaker panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before making any wire connections.
