CONTROL OPERATION
HOW SYSTEM WORKS
Broan SmartSense
®
system is design to provide recommended
ventilation for desirable indoor air quality. Related ventilation
requirements of *ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62, “Ventilation for
Acceptable Indoor Air Quality” are fulfilled when this system is
installed accordingly. Ventilation level, which is based on home
square footage and number of bedrooms, is easily set during
installation. Power outages do not affect settings, since they are
stored in power independent (nonvolatile) memory. Energy usage
is optimized by monitoring fan on-time and adjusting automatic
ventilation as needed. Indoor air quality is provided 24-hours a
day, 7-days a week.
A single Broan SmartSense
®
system is powerful enough to fulfill
ventilation rates for larger homes; however, it is recommended
to use multiple installations for homes with multiple bathrooms.
Multiple installations provide distributed ventilation throughout
the home. Multiple installations are linked and communicate
through home’s normal power circuits to form an indoor air quality
network. In typical multiple installations, Master control is located
in master bathroom. Broan and Best by Broan LinkLogic™ enabled
range hoods and LinkLogic™ enabled electric dampers can be
linked with SmartSense
®
so their indoor air quality ventilation
contribution is included.
Additional features, which are turned off at factory, include
Vacation, Disabled, Automatic-Off, and Delayed-Off modes.
Vacation mode temporarily disables system until Master fan is
manually turned on. Disabled mode removes fan from automatic
ventilation usage. Disabled mode does not affect manual operation
and its ventilation is credited toward system level requirement, but
Broan SmartSense
®
will not turn it on for automatic ventilation.
If fan is manually left on, Automatic-Off turns it off after
60-minutes. Delayed-Off turns fan off after 20-minutes from
when Off paddle is pressed. Fan can be immediately turned off by
pressing Off paddle twice.

HOW LED WORKS
LED works differently in Run and Program/Feature Selection
modes.
Run Mode: LED is off when fan is off. LED is on when fan is on
manual ventilation; turned on by pressing On paddle. LED turns
on briefly every second (fast-blink) when fan is on automatic
ventilation; turned on by Broan SmartSense
®
.
Program/Feature Selection Mode: LED turns on and off every second
(slow-blink) when system is in Program or Feature Selection mode.
LED is off when Feature associated with pressed paddle is off.
LED is on when Feature associated with pressed paddle is on.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY NETWORK
A single Broan SmartSense
®
system is powerful enough to fulfill
ventilation rates for larger homes; however, it is recommended
to use multiple installations for homes with multiple bathrooms.
Multiple installations provide distributed ventilation throughout
the home.
Multiple installations communicate through a home’s electrical
power circuits to form an indoor air quality network. Communication
pathways are called links. A phase coupler is required if multiple
installations are connected to both electrical power phases.
If multiple installations are connected to both electrical power
phases, a phase couple is required. Have an electrician install an
SMSCPLR Broan SmartSense
®
Phase Coupler near circuit breaker
panel.
Individual systems in a multiple installation home can operate
independently; although, it is recommended to link multiple
installations as an indoor air quality network. If single system is
installed or independent system operation is desired, proceed with
“How To Set System Level” section.
One Broan SmartSense
®
control is selected as system Master during
set up. Any control can be selected as system Master, but typically
master bathroom control is chosen. All controls are factory set as
system Masters; therefore, installations will operate as independent
systems at factory set system level after installation if following set
up is not done.
One Master control can link up to 10 Broan SmartSense
®
and
LinkLogic™ devices. SmartSense
®
controls that are linked to
Master control are called Slaves.
HOW TO LINK SMARTSENSE
®
SYSTEM
1. Unless another control is designated and clearly marked on
frame, under decorative plate, or documented on this instruction
sheet as Master control, go to master bathroom control.
2. Put Master control in Program mode; press and hold SET button
for 3-seconds and then release it.
Note: In order to help with single person installation, Master
control will wait 6-minutes in Program mode for Slave link.
3. LED should be turning on and off every second (slow-blink); if it
isn’t then repeat step 2.
4. Go to first control to link as a Slave.
5. Press and hold SET button until fan turns on. If fan doesn’t turn
on in less than 5-seconds, make sure Master is still in Program
mode; which is indicated with LED slow-blink.
Note: At same time Slave turns on, Master fan turns on. Master
fan should turn off automatically in less than 15-seconds.
6. Release Slave’s SET button.
7. Press Slave’s Off paddle to manually turn fan off.
8. If there are more Slave installations then go to next control and
repeat steps 5 through 8; otherwise continue with next step.
Note: In order to help with single person installation,
Master control will remain in Program mode for 6-minutes after
last Slave is linked.
9. When all Slaves are linked, exit Master Program mode; go to
Master control, press and release SET button.
10. Master fan and LED turn on for 1 to 2-seconds and then turn
off; this action confirms Program mode exit.
11. If any aforementioned fan and LED actions don’t transpire as
described, repeat process.
