To be installed by a certified electrician or other qualified person.

WARNING – To prevent severe shock or electrocution, always turn power OFF at the

service panel before installing this unit, working on the circuit, or changing a lamp.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other

equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, a fluorescent light, or a

transformer-supplied appliance. Use this control only with fans that are marked

as suitable for use with solid-state fan speed controls.
Any number of fans may be controlled by a single fan speed control provided

the sum amperage rating of the fans does not exceed the amperage rating of

the fan control.
Do not connect fan control to power source other than 120VAC, 60 Hz only.
Use copper wire only.
FOR DUAL DIMMER/FAN SPEED CONTROL – It is necessary to add the

required third wire from the wall box switching location to the fan with the light

kit unit. This is because the fan and light kit are essentially two separate units.

CAUTION – The additional third wire required should not be confused with the

neutral wire, usually WHITE, nor the ground wire, normally GREEN, which

may already be routed through the wall box. Warranty is void when any of the

three wires are attached to the neutral wire or ground wire. This will cause a

direct short and damage the controlʼs circuitry beyond repair.
Use copper wire only.

DIRECTIONS

1. Disconnect power to circuit at the panel by removing fuse or turning circuit

breakers OFF before installing.

2. Remove wall plate and switch mounting screws, pull existing switch from

wall box.

3. Disconnect existing switch from circuit.
4. Connect fan speed control as shown in the installation diagram with wire

connectors provided.

5. Install speed control device in wall box, using mounting screws provided.

Restore power to the circuit.

6. If fan has a multi-speed switch, place switch in the MAXIMUM SPEED

position, then do not change the switch setting.

7. To adjust Anti-Stall feature (if equipped): Set the fan speed control to lowest

speed and turn the power off. To change the minimum speed, adjust the

trimpot through the access opening in the front of the fan speed control,

using a small, insulated, flat-tipped screwdriver.

8. Attach wall plate.
NOTE: A 0.5A minimum load is required. It is normal for the control to feel

warm during operation. Use a separate neutral wire for each phase of a

multiphase system containing a dimmer, and for high power single phase

applications where flickering is present.

• Connect BLACK wire from control to 120VAC hot wire with

provided wire connector.

• Connect GREEN (or uninsulated) wire from control to ground wire

or metal wall box with provided wire connector.

MULTIPLE GANGING OF CONTROLS

Any combination of fan control models may be ganged together. Using vise or

heavy-duty pliers, remove the outer fins on either or both sides, as necessary,

at the break-off points on the thin metal line at the base of the third fin. Fan

controls can be ganged without removing fins by proper selection and

placement of outlet boxes. When fins are removed, de-rate the maximum load

according to the following De-Rating Table:

MAXIMUM

FINS REMOVED

RATED LOAD

ONE SIDE

TWO SIDES

8 AMPS

7 AMPS

6 AMPS

12 AMPS

11 AMPS

10 AMPS

CAUTION : Sharp or jagged metal edges might be exposed where sections

were broken off. Use care when handling the control after this operation.

ILLUSTRATION FOR GANGING

HOW TO CUT PLASTIC FACEPLATE:

If fins are removed for ganging, the faceplate must be adjusted to match.
You may either score the groove on the back of the faceplate thoroughly with a

razor sharp packing knife, or you may partially score the groove, then

complete the break with pliers.

TO CUT THE FACEPLATE WITH KNIFE ONLY:

1. Lay faceplate face down on soft clean cloth,

on a flat solid surface to preserve finish.

2. Run knife vertically throughout groove

repeatedly until plastic separates.

3. Dress rough edges using very fine-grained

sand paper.

TO CUT THE FACEPLATE USING PLIERS AND KNIFE:

1. Lay faceplate face down on soft clean cloth, on a flat solid surface to

preserve finish.

2. Run knife vertically throughout groove

several times.

3. Hold faceplate firmly in one hand and

use pliers to bend the flat edge of the

fin away from the groove. Behind the

opposing ends first, then make a final

break at the middle, separating fin from

faceplate.

4. Dress rough edges using very fine-grained sand paper.
