Can someone show me how to hook this up for a radiator fan and also using a toggle switch for on and off? any help would help thanks

The two small terminals are the trigger, or coil wires. When 12V is applied to these, it closes the contact making a connection between the two large terminals. Run a wire from the battery negative, or a chassis ground point to either of the small contacts. You'll need to find a 12V + source that cycles on-off with the ignition switch. Run a wire from this point to one side of the toggle switch. Run a wire from the other terminal on the toggle switch to the remaining small contact on the relay. This will allow you to cycle the fan on & off with the toggle switch but will also cut the fan off automatically when you cut off the car to keep from running down the battery if the toggle switch is left on. Run a wire from the battery negative to the fan negative input side. Next run a wire from the battery positive, using an inline fuse, to either of the large terminals on the relay. Lastly run a wire from the remaining large relay terminal to the positive input wire on the fan. The wire to the relay coil, or trigger can be #16 or even #18 wire and will be fine. Depending on the fan size, the wires to the large terminals, and to the fan will need to be #14, or even #12 to carry the load, if you've got some #10 that would be fine as well, bigger is better up to a point here!

Have a large gauge wire running directly from the battery or alternator to one of the large posts on the relay. Connect the other large post to the radiator fan. Then, run a small gauge wire from your fuse block (usually on a circuit that turns off/on with the ignition switch) to one of the small posts on the relay. Then hook the other small post to ground.

One small and big terminal go to the battery use at least 10GA wire (fused of course). The other big terminal goes to the fans usind the same size wire used from the battery. The other small one goes to the switch using any small wire. The other side of the switch gets grounded using any sized small wire.

Most, if not all, of the thermostats you will encounter have been color coded for commonality. So yes, you should use the RWGY terminals. If it is at all possible, try to verify what those original wires are for. For example, the G wire might be for the fan. Is there anything in the manual that says the G terminal is for the fan? If so, this is the correct terminal.Good luck and enjoy saving $$ with the new timer system!(I apologize for taking so long for this response)

Needs a new control modual. Just pull the fuse for the fan to keep it from running until you get your new modual.

The switch itself is fine.... its the circuit board in the fan that is the problem. If you can avoid it buy a fan that doesn't need a specific/special switch.

For myself, I wired it to have its own switch. But I suppose if you are a savvy enough of an electrician, you can pig tail the connections. The item has instructions for different types of wiring needs, including a situation where you can have separate switches for fan, heat and/or light.

The instructions for wiring are totally inadequate. Google the device and look for a wiring diagram. Once wired correctly, it will switch automatically between heating and cooling (two different outlets).

No, this is a fan switch only. I'd look for a slider switch. This one has to be played with to get the setting. Good luck!

there are better ways to do that because this unit requires a 12v. power source to operate.you could use a 12v.a.c. transformer as the power source and the off timer contacts for the fan motor.i believe this unit requires a 8 pin socket.

K. Baker, did you figure out how to wire the night light. I wanted to buy a fan with a light and night light but didn't think you could use this condensation sensor to do that.

Hi Catalyst God,Thanks for the question. You have to use the wall switch that is provided with the fan. It will not work with a standard switch. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

mine is dc. I had battery drain problem. Wired it from a toggle switch to disconnect neg. batt cable. only energised with engine running problem solved. I don't know why it would't work for a fan

It eventually works man. Mine did the exact same. Have a play with the directions and the plugs. Pull it out and make sure all your connections are connected. I know when I pushed mine into place it often disconnected some wires to the air conditioning climate controls. The directions explain how to set it. Good luck!

Alan,Wish I could help. After spending an hour with my Fluke I wasn't able to figure it out. I spent more than an hour (no joy) searching for the wiring diagram before resorting to the Fluke.I ended up using only the AC IN jack - bypassing both pwr switch and fuse.Kind of a bummer. Good luck, man.Steve

The Westinghouse switch may work in certain situations depending the fan you plan to use it on. Hampton Bay also makes a switch that I am in the process of trying after the Westinghouse failed 2x. I had an electrician trying to install it!

Hello Donna, The switch has a receiver box that goes into the canopy of the fan. You would just hook up the receiver box in your fan as normal. The switch sends a radio signal to the receiver box in the fan to control the light and fan. There will be a black and white wire that will hook to the house wiring on the receiver box and then 3 other wires labeled fan, light and then another white wire labeled fan or something like that. You would hook the white wire from the receiver box to the white wire on your fan and then the wire that is marked fan will go to the fan wire that powers the fan (Black) and then the wire marked light will go to the wire that powers your light or future light on the fan (Blue most of the time on some fans it could be another color). At the switch to you would just install that part like the standard switch you are replacing. Make sure you turn the power off at the breaker panel before you do the hook-up. The switch part will also have a tab at the bottom that can be pulled out this should be pulled out when doing the hook-up and then pushed back in once installed. I also believe that the switch is only rated at 300 watts for light dimming so make sure that when you do get a light it is rated at no more than 300 watts total for all bulbs. Hope this helps Steve S. Master Electrician

First, I would ask my electrician. We have ours to control a fan, heating and light unit. The switch operates heat, bent and light in that order. It's easy enough to turn both on and off at the same time.

I wired this switch to a variable speed fan. I do not know how it would work on a three speed fan. I personally would not try to make it work on a three speed fan.
