Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. CAUTION: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not
use to control receptacles, uorescent lighting xtures, or transformer-supplied
appliances.
2. Set multi-speed fans to their highest setting before installing controls.
3. When no "ground means" exists within the wallbox, then NEC® 2008, 404.9
exception to (b) allows a control without a ground connection, to be installed as a
replacement. For this type of installation, cap or remove the green control ground
wire. A control installed under this exception (NEC 404.9 exception to (b)) must be
provided with a plastic, noncombustible, UL listed wallplate.
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.
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.
