Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. CAUTION: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not
use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, or transformer-supplied
appliances.
2. Set multi-speed fans to their highest setting before installing controls.
3. When no “grounding means” exist within the wallbox then the NEC
®
2008, Article
404.9 allows a dimmer without a grounding connection to be installed as a
replacement, as long as a plastic, noncombustible wallplate is used. For this type
of installation, cap or remove the green ground wire on the dimmer and use an
appropriate wallplate such as Lutron’s Claro
®
or Fassada
®
series wallplates.
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.
12. For indoor use only.
13. Controls must be mounted vertically. See stamp on control for correct positioning.
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.
Important Wiring Information

connector tight.
Be sure no bare
wire is exposed.

for the supplied wire connectors. Note: Wire connectors provided are suitable for copper
wire only. For aluminum wire, consult an electrician.
