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)
.
