be separate load wires for the fan and light from the control location. A 

separate Control4 dimmer or switch must be used if the light is to be 

controlled. Do not use the Fan Speed Controller to control the light.

• 

Do not exceed the load capacity requirements of the Fan Speed 

Controller. Refer to the load ratings in the specifications above for details.

• 

Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
