Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. CAUTION:
To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not
use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, or transformer-supplied
appliances.
2.
Set multi-speed fans to their highest setting before installing controls.
3.
When no “grounding means” exist within the wallbox then the NEC
®
2008, Article
404.9 allows a dimmer without a grounding connection to be installed as a
replacement, as long as a plastic, noncombustible wallplate is used. For this type
of installation, cap or remove the green ground wire on the dimmer and use an
appropriate wallplate such as Lutron’s Claro
®
or Fassada
®
series wallplates.
4.
Do not use control with a fan and light that operate with the same switch.
5.
For new installations, wire a test switch before installing the control.
6.
Use FSQ-2F and SFSQ-F controls with a ceiling paddle fan only. Use only one ceiling
paddle fan per control.
7.
Use FS-5F controls only with fans marked "Suitable for use with solid-state fan-
speed controls."
8.
Do not wire an FSQ-2F, SFSQ-F or SFSQ-F-HO in a circuit with a GFCI breaker/
receptacle.
9.
Controls may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
10.
Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
11.
Clean control with a
soft damp cloth only
. Do not use any chemical cleaners.
12.
For indoor use only.
13.
Controls must be mounted vertically. See stamp on control for correct positioning.
Multi-Unit Installations
When combining controls in a wallbox, remove all inner side sections before wiring
(see below). Use pliers to bend each side section up and down until it breaks off. FS-5F
controls require reduction of their capacity. Refer to chart below for maximum capacity.
FSQ-2F, SFSQ-F and SFSQ-F-HO controls do not require capacity reduction.
Important Wiring Information

connector tight.
Be sure no bare
wire is exposed.
When making wire connections, follow the recommended strip lengths and combinations
for the supplied wire connectors.
Note:
Wire connectors provided are suitable
for
copper
wire only.
For aluminum wire, consult an electrician.
