Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a quantity of air to be adjusted to an optimum value in accordance with a distance with a single operation by the user, even when he moves, by additionally providing a remote controller position detecting function in an electric fan. CONSTITUTION:When a normal signal is fed from a remote controller 1, by an operating signal D of the normal signal, a signal from a normal signal detecting light receiving element is output as the normal signal via an amplifying circuit 27, synchronizing detector circuit 28 and a waveform shaping circuit 29. Next, when a position detection signal is fed from the remote controller 1, successively switching remote controller position detection operating signals A-C, a signal from remote controller position detecting light receiving elements 21-23 is output corresponding to the respective operating signals as a remote controller position signal B via the amplifying circuit 27 and the synchronizing detector circuit 28.
