Can this run a pair of ceiling fans with full vari control and no humm? Can you get it made to fit a slot in a rec wall plate?

I don't know if it will hadndle more than one fan or not. Depends on how many amps total they draw. It does fit in a wall box.

Howdy, yes, depending on the size of fans you use, it can take up one or two PCI slot spaces. It doesn't use the PCI connector, however. It takes one 3 or 4 pin connector per fan and comes with an adapter for each one. I upgraded the fans to nicer ones with more umph. I'd recommend that, as the fans that come with this are pretty unimpressive overall.

No it would not work with a ceiling fan. And it looks really cheap, so you aren't missing out!

The fan uses a remote control for all functions. Check with an electrician to see if your existing wall control can be used.

YES, the unit will control 12V fans, no modification is necessary. These controls are used in the HVAC industry and many other 12V applications. I use them to control dual 12V cooling fans to cool transmitter heat sinks and power supplies.

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..

Yes it would! I likes this fan so much i bought 2 more for other projects! Running it from a cigarette lighter power you will want to put a 5 amp fuse on it. Also this fan moves alot of air! I also purchased a speed controller for 10 more dollars and im able to fine tune the air output to the exact speed i need and it is a real simple system to hook up in only a fiew minutes. I am very pleased with these great quality fans and i promise you will be thrilled with it! If you have any further questions let me know. dondanielknight@yahoo

This is generic. It will work with any ceiling fan I've ever encountered. Ceiling fans have three active wires going into the fan mechanism: a wire for fan power, a wire for light power, and a neutral (plus a ground wire that attaches to something metal). You set the light(s) on and the fan on high speed. Then you hook up the control unit that comes with the remote--one wire for fan power, one wire for light power, one wire for neutral, and two wires to connect to incoming power. Make sure the remotes and the control unit are all on the same setting, and that normally works. Sometimes something electronic in your home may interfere and cause things to turn on and off at random times. If so, select a different setting for the control unit and the remotes (all still one setting). Not that hard. The hardest part is getting the control unit into the cramped space inside the fan housing.

Not significantly. If you are looking for a quiet solution and are somewhat electrically savvy, try wiring two fans in series and ditch the speed controller. I found this configuration was much quieter (practically silent!) than using the fans on the low setting of the speed controller, and still moved a surprising amount of air. The speed controller is not a very "elegant" design, and causes the fans to emit a buzzing or humming noise at low speed.

This wall control is compatible with a lot of the Minka fans. You can contact us for specifics on fan compatibility with this wall control.

Yes. The fan's speed will not be controlled by the onboard controller, rather the selection made on the switch. I would imagine the function is limited to the fan's controller b/c should the mobo controller drop the speed, while low/silent is selected, the fan may not receive enough juice to turn. If you're using several fans this is nice b/c even on molex the fans will be functioning at similar speeds w/o purchasing a controller, flipping the 5volt to 3volt or howling at higher rpm's.

I think it should work, as each remote should pair with the receiver in the individual fan. Being on the same circuit would just mean that they both are powered, but you leave the main power/wall switch on and control the fans with the remote.

It is rated 13 amps general purpose so it should be able to control a small fan. And is RF.

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.

As long as you can allow air flow for the fan, it should be ok. It is a very nice power supply.

The Answer is no-it cannot...It is DC only...You can Google the Fan/Model #, and it will give you all the specs..It is a great fan

No, but you can buy a fan speed controller at either Lowes or Home Depot that should work. they're about $ 20- 30 bucks and they will fit into most existing outlet boxes. i returned mine and bought a a Hampton Bay 60" industrial, model # 526-012 from Home Depot. It's about 30.00 more, but has reverseable speed and the wall controller fits easily into the outlet box and looks much nicer ( to me ). Both fans look similar and both move a lot of air, run quietly, and are fairly easy to install. The Westinghouse has steel blades and the Hampton Bay has plastic blades but are thick and sturdy.
