Can this be used to control the speed of a fan? http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-1820-Perf...

I don't think there were any specific prohibitions on it but I wouldn't do it. You could damage the motor on the fan. It's like trying to use a rheostat on a ceiling fan motor. Only Casablanca motors will work correctly.

With a speed controller it can. http://www.amazon.com/SE-Electronic-Stepless-Speed-Controller/dp/B000HQAVNI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353407444&sr=8-1&keywords=fan+speed+controller

Yes you can use a speed controller on this blower motor. Use one that is rated for atleast two amps or greater. Do not use a dimmer switch designed for incandescent lighting.

No, I actually came across doing this and a these "speed controller" control current where as a variac (which controls voltage) is what you need to control heat. I wound up using my router speed controller for a shop fan. And got a variac for my heater.

Yes but they are low to medium at most RPM so you don't really need a fan controller and actually if you plan to use one, you ought to get different fans capable of higher RPM so you have the ability to do both higher airflow if needed and low airflow when you don't.

No, but of course the fan will only run a one speed. And BTW, I'm very happy with this fan. It draws very little power. The pricing is the problem here, I believe I could sell tons of these fans if the price was lowered to about $125...

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.

It depends... as long as the current requirements don't exceed the rating of the relay contacts... you can control anything. Generally speaking if you are interfacing to the low voltage side of the HVAC control, you will 'likely' be in good shape. If you are trying to directly control the fan motor and have a need for a much higher current loads, then you will need to use a different relay, or a down-stream relay with higher current rated contacts.

I used mine to interface to a zone controller so that would not be available as an option. I did not see any options on the programming of the stat. to control speed any way. My best guess from not seeing that option is that the thermostat would not control the speed but cant say for sure, I am not sure if your air handler has any sensors in it to detect if it needs to change fan speeds without a signal to do so from the thermostat, you could check on what actually controls the speed of the fan your equipment. This thermostat has tons of programming options and is the very best I have ever had or seen, but again I did not see programming options for speed control.

it has a off/on and rheostat. but wont control my fan speed. on high all the time. the one I bought was the kbmc-13bv. the one I need is the kbmc-13bvns. they said the 13bv would work but it does not

although I am using it for a whole house fan. It is a normal "timer" wall switch and can't see any reason it would not work for both. Hope it helps since I can't give you a definite.

No, it has no speed control built into it. I haven't added any control to the fans that I run, I figure one more thing to break. I do have a control on a shop vac that works well that is made by VenTech, sold by Amazon believe it or not. It is rated for the amperage you are dealing with and it works very well. I would consider it, but there are very many options. Hope this helps. Dan

If these things use mechanical relays you could, but unless that's known for certain, it wouldn't be advisible.If you hear a click when it switches on it's probably a mechanical relay, if not, it's probably solid state, which you wouldn't want to cross connect to avoid damage.You could do some custom configuration such as using the switched outputs of the sensors to control AC relays, which could then be wired in parallel to drive your fan.

You would need to connect the fan to an external motion sensor that would turn off the power to the fan and then turn it back on when sensing motion in the room. It is designed to run at a very low speed at all times and draws an insignificant amiunt of power. It would be less expensive if you purchased a different fan and operated it from the motion sensor, then you would only be paying for one motion sensing circuit.

Yeah I had that in my fan info too. But the info with this control says not to use it with a solid state fan. Who even knows what these "solid state" things are. You should be fine.

Yes, as long as your fan is a 2 speed fan to begin with it's a generic speed switch. You can also wire it through a timer too.

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.
