Single Pole (One location) or 3-Way (Multi-location)

Fan Speed Control

120VAC, 60Hz

Cat. No. IPFØ5-1L, 5A (Lighted)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Tools needed to install your Fan Speed Control:

Slotted/Philips Screwdriver

Electrical Tape

Pliers

Pencil

Cutters

Ruler

Changing the color of your Fan Speed Control:

Your Fan Speed Control includes two color options. The Control ships with
the White frame attached. To change color of frame, proceed as follows:

Move the slider up or down one full cycle to automatically engage the
slider control mechanism.

Installing Fan Speed Control by itself or with other
devices:

If installing Control in a single device application, proceed with the

INSTALLING YOUR FAN SPEED CONTROL

 section. If installing

Control in a multi-device application, proceed as follows:

MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION:

NOTE: 

You only need to remove side sections if installing with other

controls or if it does not fit in wall box – not when installing with
mechanical switches.

When installing more than one Fan Speed Control in the same
location, the side sections of the mounting strap must be removed.
Use pliers to carefully bend side sections back and forth until they
break off. The side sections dissipate heat, so removing them requires
a derating of the control's capacity 

(refer to chart)

.

3-Way:

Look at the back of your switch.
If there are 3 wires connected to
three screw terminals (not including
a green or bare copper wire used
for grounding), you have a 3-Way
