Overview
Description
Multi-way Operation
The SDFC-5A Slide Fan Speed Control allows users
to set and maintain the ideal fan speed in any
space. It is comprised of a simple slider for fully
variable speed control, and an on/off switch. The
SDFC-5A replaces a standard switch for ceiling
paddle fans.
The SDFC-5A can be used in three-way or multiway circuits. In three-way applications, a fan speed
control is installed in one location and a three-way
switch is installed in the other location. If an additional control location is required, a four-way switch
is installed in the middle of the circuit. A three-way
or multi-way installation provides the user with on/
off and speed control from the SDFC-5A, and on/off
control from the switch(es).
Operation
The SDFC-5A Slide Fan Speed Control installs easily
into any standard single-or multi-gang wallbox. Once
installed, the device can be easily controlled by the
slider and the switch. To increase or decrease fan
speed, a user simply moves the slider up or down.
The controlled fan is turned on or off by pressing the
switch. When the fan is powered on, it will operate at
the preset speed, as set by the slider position.

Applications
High capacity SDFC-5A Slide Fan Speed Controls
are ideal in either commercial or residential spaces.
Users can control multiple fans with a single
unit. Sometimes, large rooms such as banquet
facilities, restaurants, hotel lobbies and enclosed
patios contain multiple fans. In these types of
spaces, controlling the speed of multiple fans with
one control can effectively ensure even airflow
throughout the room. The installer must verify
that the combined fan load does not exceed the
maximum load rating of the device.
