Can someone confirm if this has the switch on the connector side for fan control. There is a newer version called SS-850KM3 that would also be printed on the label. I really want the new version with fan control switch based on recent reviews. Newegg...

Yes, this model does have the switch that allows you to toggle between Hybrid Silent Fan Control and Normal modes. I also confirmed on the label that it is the SS-850KM3 version. Enjoy!

Not sure, there is a switch on the fan. We bypassed the remotes. We still have the remote and looked at it and there does not appear to be a switch, I would dig further. Sorry!

If you mean the switch on the top, it is the fan speed control. It works as a slider to increase or decrease the fan speed.

This switch comes with a new receiver for your fan, it should replace the one under the box cover on the ceiling. Theoretically though, if the dip switches on the back of the switch are in the correct configuration, you won't need to change the receiver. So this set will control your current fan, one way or another.

There is a "reverse" symbol at the 6 o'clock position on the control (the two arrows). Unfortunately, it does not work. I tries to cycle the fan, but it will not reverse.

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.

It is a 4 DIP switch and does not work with the fan since the original fan requires 8. I was VERY disappointed, particularly since they are the exact same model number. I sent mine back and requested an 8 DIP switch. I have not heard back from the company yet.

This fan does not come with a switch. If you have a 3 conductor romex cable run to the fan, then you can have separate switches for fan and light.

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.

Hi Liz, Thanks for the question. Usually the reverse function is at its most convenient when it's used with a remote control. Many fans also have a reverse switch on the actual fan, on top of the motor. Not sure if this one does, however. Still, with the remote, you have full reverse capabilities, as well as light-dimming control. We hope this helps. If you need anything else Liz, please call one of our experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

I returned that fan as soon as I got it. It wasn't what I expected at all. Sorry, I know nothing about the switch. It was a long time ago, but if I recall, it was most likely an electronic switch. It was not the best quality fan, somewhat bigger and not very powerful, if I am remembering correctly.

You mean just keep the plate and change the fan? Yes thata basically what this product is , standard fan but with usb power connection. Fairly easy to change out fan just 4 screws look standard to me. I was able to flip the fan it came with, but havent tried a different fan. Issue is the power connection.

I believe there is a switch on top of fan for that function. Might want to confirm with manufacture.

I had the same problem when I ordered mine last year. They said they were out of stock and that I had to keep contacting them to find out when it would be in stock, then they would send me a new one. I really don't have the time in my life to do that. Unfortunately I really really like this fan. It is so quiet and it works way better than any other I have tried. My husband just stole mine fore his computer because he hasn't found one that works as well, so now I am stuck making a decision...buy another one because it is a great product, knowing there is no pass through...or refuse to because of the false advertising about a wire??

Yes, but ... The fan only turns ON via the remote control. The 3-way switches can only turn the fan OFF. To turn the fan ON, you must use the remote. (Mine is wired on a 3-way.)

Black is 0 V (ground or negative), the next to it, yellow, is the + 12 V (positive). Next green = sensor of rotation speed, then blue is the additional, programmable 0-12 V (PWM). 2nd and 4th are sometimes interchangable, but not always. Just sticking a second wire from the system board to the 4th fan's won't activate some of the fans. But putting a PWM into the second wire of a fan is more likely to control it. At fans it's better to look at the position in the connector, rather than colors. 0 V is always the first, edgemost, corresponding to the plastic tooth. The 3rd (sensor) is at the opposite tooth, and the 4th PWM is the pin protruding beyond the plastic tooths to the side. Looking like an additional contact "added later" to the fan standard. And in all computer wire sets, i guess, a black wire is the 0 V, and if there's no black, then a white should exist, and the white is 0 V.

If you are talking about the original switch (don't know the part number), yes. And, yes, there's an "off" position, in addition to a rheostat to vary fan speed (in the application in which I personally am using the part).
