Do not remove outer side
sections.
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. 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 ground wire on the control. A control installed under this exception (NEC®2008 404.9
exception to (b)) must be provided with a plastic, noncombustible, UL listed wallplate.
3. Set multi-speed fans to their highest setting before installing controls.
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 or SFSQ-F 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.
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 and SFSQ-F controls do not require
capacity reduction.
Fan-Speed Controls
FS-5F: 5 A maximum 120 V~ 60 Hz
FSQ-2F: 1.5 A maximum 120 V~ 60 Hz
SFSQ-F: 1.5 A maximum 120 V~ 60 Hz
