Anyone know if you can use a speed controller with this fan?

I used a popular speed controller on one and it made the fan even louder and 30min later the fan was dead.

Actually, I can use a wall-switch (for previous fan) to turn this fan on and off from a pre-set speed. Works great.

Yes. It has a small button that turns it on and also controls speed of fan.

No it is just an on/off switch. But you can control the speed by buying an speed control rheostat. That is what I did. It costs $50 and amazon has the unit the fan maker recommends.

Yes, that is what I did and it works fine. I have the light on a dimmer switch and the fan is on a separate switch. If I want to change the fan speed I can use the switch on the fan, but so far have not needed it. I love this fan, really moves the air in my sewing room.

Not really... 150 cfm or higher with a speed controller is more what you need.

To my knowledge is it not controlled by any sort of sensor. There is an adjustment dial for fan speed but that's about it. I don't think you can turn it off either.

I asked LEDwholesalers the same question RocPopy, This is there response."Hello:Sorry, our fans are unlikely to work with fan speed controllers.Regards,LEDwholesalers"That should clear things up for everyone.

the fan will run automatically when it is powered on, there is no sensor or speed controller. There is no separate switch for the fan. Cooling is not exceptional but decent enough

The remote control has a timer button, but I haven't tried that function yet. It has 3 speeds but the remote has a another button that serves as a 4th speed. When the button is pressed, the fan blades run faster then slows down during oscillation. Some people might like that feature but for me the regular speeds are good enough. Hope this answers your query.

There is a switch available via Home Depot (and similar stores, I'm sure) that will control fan speed and light dimmer via a wall switch. It is about $50. I'm using it and it works fine.

You know Steve- the manufacturer's website answers your questions :) but here you go. "Q: What fans can I use a fan speed controller with? A: Our fan speed controller (ACSC) will work with brushless motors, such as the ones commonly used with inline centrifugal fans. Do not use with blowers, booster fans, etc." Quiet operation Durable ceramic-coated Metal housing UL-recognized components High quality molded impeller Thermally-protected AC motor Includes mounting brackets and 8 foot pre-wired 120V cord Thermally protected A/C motor :) I have 3 - these things are worth every penny - they are loud if not attached to any duct or filter.

Hello Sir, If I understand your question correctly, your asking if there is a manual mode speed adjustment in which you can control each of the fans speeds without interference from the automatic mode - If so the answer is YES. This unit provides excellent control functionality allowing the user to manipulate the speed of the fan in any configuration. The only exception to this is the 'Aera+ Mode' which can only be leveraged in automatic mode. I hope this helps answer your question. I myself am very pleased with this purchase given the deal I found - It was a 'deal of the day' that also, (if one paid attention), had a coupon to clip for additional savings. By the time I reached checkout, I owed only $109. After using it for sometime now, I would have easily paid what they are asking for today. Anyways, let me know if need any additional information. Regards, -A.Farrow

The answer is, I don't know. This control performs differently with different tools, appliances, etc. It must depend on the type of inner electrical control of each tool, appliance, etc. I bought one to control the speed of a fan but it did not perform, it was either on or off even in the variable mode. I would go to the local electrical parts store and ask some questions before ordering.

You need still need to buy another power connector to make the connection. As for the fan having speed control it does not for that model.

We hard wired it. You can very easily wire an extension into the electrical box on the fan and have it so you can plug it in. The speed control is built in. However we did put a (cool) thermostat with the system so when the room with the thermostat gets above the set temperature (Say 70 Degrees F) that it will automatically turn on and pull warm air into the room that is cooler. Hope this helps if not please leave another question.
