Wiring
Do not use for
- Outlets (receptacles)
- Lights, including fluorescent
- Transformers, motor appliances, or anything supplied by a transformer
- More than one fan
Using it
- Turn the dial about half a turn to start the fan (the motor needs a burst of power to start), then set the speed you want.
- If the speed suddenly drops, the dial is between steps; turn it a little further.
Installation
Turn off the breaker first. Install by a licensed electrician, following the NEC / CEC and local codes. If the wall box has no ground, cap or remove the green wire as the code allows (NEC 404.9(B), formerly 380-9(b)).
