MAICO@NFC – optimal indoor climate with maximum comfort thanks to NFC With the new MAICO@NFC app for the ER fan from Maico, configuring your fan is child's play. The app enables quick and easy setup, even when the power is off before actual installation or while still in the sales packaging. You can customise the volume flows, time parameters and interval times. Choose between automatic and manual humidity control and configure the desired humidity values. A configuration lock prevents unauthorised users from making unwanted changes to the device configuration. The parameters programmed on the fan are displayed when you press a button. Support for filter replacement The app shows when a filter replacement is necessary and allows you to set the filter replacement interval. It also offers a direct link to the filter shop, including a convenient filter subscription service. With a corresponding MAICO account, your personal configurations can be securely stored in the MAICO cloud so that you can access them at any time. Specially designed for specialist tradespeople The MAICO@NFC app is specially designed for professional tradespeople. A configuration can be easily transferred to any number of fans.
