EVACUATOR+ Blower Control is a uniquely designed control module with Smart Device connectivity to control your boat’s onboard blower motor for customized operation. Using the EVACUATOR+ Mobile App or Bluetooth connection, you can cycle air through your boat’s confined spaces on a daily schedule. Daily use of your onboard blower will reduce: * Fumes/vapors * Humidity * Heat * Mold * Condensation * Odor * Corrosion EVACUATOR+ MOBILE APP SAFETY FEATURES: TIMER MENU: The EVACUATOR+ Mobile App includes a “Run on Demand” single use option, as well as an automated “Run on Connect” and “Run on Disconnect” feature on the Timer menu. When choosing either feature, your EVACUATOR+ App must remain running in the background. The “Run on Demand” option allows for single use of EVACUATOR+ for 15-60 minutes. Turn this option on or off when needed. If “Run on Connect” is enabled on your Mobile App, EVACUATOR+ will automatically run your blower for 15 minutes upon establishing a Bluetooth connection (approx. 30 feet). If “Run on Disconnect” is enabled, EVACUATOR+ will automatically run your blower for 30 minutes when leaving your boat for the day. **For example, the “Run on Connect” feature will automatically run your blower for 15 minutes while you are loading your boating gear (within 30 feet), allowing for a safer, more efficient departure routine. On the other hand, after a long day on the water, the “Run on Disconnect” feature enables blower operation for 30 minutes, even when your wireless connection is lost. You can unload your gear, wash your boat, and leave the dock knowing your onboard blower will be cycling fresh, clean air to your engine room as you walk away.** Scheduling Operation: SCHEDULE MENU: EVACUATOR+ allows for customization of up to five Daily Schedules to run your boat’s onboard blower. Schedule your blower to run up to five times a day in 10-60 minute increments. You will see a noticeable reduction in moisture, odor and corrosion when EVACUATOR+ cycles air through your boat’s confined spaces more frequently.
