Important Notes
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. Controls require separate wires in the wall box for fan and light.
3. For new installations, wire a test switch before installing the control.
4. Set multispeed fans to their highest setting before installing controls.
5. Use SFSQ-LF control with a ceiling paddle fan only. Use only one
ceiling paddle fan per control.
6. Use FS-5E, GFS-5E, SFS-5E and SFS-5EA controls only with fans
marked "Suitable for use with solid-state fan-speed controls."
7. Do not wire an SFSQ-LF in circuit with a GFCI breaker/receptacle.
S. Controls may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
9. If a bare copper or green ground connection is not available in the
wallbox, contact a licensed electrician for installation.
10. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
Multi-Unit Installations
When combining controls in a wall box, remove all inner side sections
before wiring (see below). Use pliers to bend each side section up and
down until it breaks off. SF-5E, GFS-5E, SFS-5E and SFS-5EA controls
require reduction of their capacity. Refer to chart below for maximum
capacity. SFSQ-LF controls do not require capacity reduction.
