can you use this controller to wire up two fans or is a dual controller needed?

You'd have to run a splitter to allow for a brace of fans, but the most important question is, what do both fans combined draw? I'd say the controller is good for 30 amps maximum draw. As long as you do not exceed that, you should be OK.

To be safe I'd wire in a separate relay to the output of the controller and then to the second fan if your amps are going to be more than 30.

No I wired both fans on....it was designedb for one...but I made two work. ..I just put a 20 amp fuse to prevent spikes in voltage

Connect a molex to the fans if you want to use the integrated fan controller. There should be a female molex connector coming for the controller

It's not a good idea, but technically yes. The remotes and the receivers have dip switches on them. As long as the settings on both are the same, the remote will control the fan. Therefore, if you have two fans with two receivers that both have the same settings as a single remote, it would operate both of them. However, I wouldn't assume it will control them in unison, especially if both fans are not perfectly within line of sight of each other. For that reason I would recommend a second remote (you can use the same type; it would just be controlled with a different setting). Regardless of that, will it work? Yes.

The communication to the fan is wireless (effectively the same as using a remote), so I'd think you could add as many controls as you want.

Your chassis fans should connect directly to the controller connectors. If the connections are incompatible you'll need a converter.

Hi, I'm pretty sure you can set the "dip" switches on the 2 fans and the dip switches remote to the same settings to make remote control both fans.

No, this is for manual control (it doesn't use the mobo controllers). Fans get plugged into this, and the round dials control the fan speed. I got this because my (asrock) motherboard didn't have enough controllers and I didn't want to run my fans at 100% power. CPU cooler stays on the motherboard, everything else gets plugged into this.

I am not sure, but I think one remote could work with both fans if you move it into the room where you want it, or at least aim it at the fan you want to control through the doorway. I don't know if it is strong enough to operate both at once or not, or if you would even want it to!

Yes, fans plug directly into controller and then the controller is power by a molex connector from the power supply.

All independent and or add more than one fan on the controller. Yes you can turn it off

This is a fan forced unit, But it is not dual, as the description implies !!!

Yes it can , I have two fans running off of a speed control, and it works great

Should handle it fine considering its power source is a molex connection from you're power supply. So whatever amperage your PSU puts out should carry over to this fan controller..... In theory that is. I like this product only thing I didn't like was trying to hide the mass amount of wires it has.

If you set the transmitter and two fans to the same code the transmitter will work on both fans. However, if the fans are within close proximity to each other you may have a problem with which one you are turning on and off etc.

No - You should not use this to control two lights. Using a Fan Control to dim lights will quickly "burn" up the controls inside the device and it won't dim correctly anymore.

Actually, I believe the question itself is flawed. Why purchase an "extra" transmitter if you want both fans to work on a single remote? Yes, two fans can be operated with a single remote but it will not take long until they are out of sync with each other. Press the light button and one light will come on as the other goes off. If you have at least one on a wall switch then it is relatively easy to get them back into sync. Just change the codes within the fan unit to be the same as within the transmitter. You probably will not like the results because of them getting out of sync often. Actually, I believe the question itself is flawed.

If the controller is made for 12V fans, I don't see why not.. but I can not say for sure.. I don't know how they would fare if the voltage is limited..
