# Can I use my OPI Blue Fan Control System in manual mode with a timer?

## You can set your system to start manually with a timer to run a specified amount of time, however you cannot set your system to start running at a future time.

To set your OPI Blue Fan Control System to run with a timer, you simply need to click on the "Fan Timer" icon for the bin you want to run your fans, configure the amount of time you want your fans to run for, and then click "Start Fan".

As stated above, our system does not currently have the feature to configure your fans to start at a future time in manual mode with a timer. The timer function can only be configured when the fan is turned on in manual mode.
