Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. CAUTION: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not
use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, or transformer-supplied
appliances.
2. Controls require separate wires in the wallbox for fan and light.
3. For new installations, wire a test switch before installing the control.
4. Set multispeed fans to their highest setting before installing controls.
5. Use SFSQ-LF control with a ceiling paddle fan only. Use only one ceiling paddle fan
per control.
6. Use FS-5E, GFS-5E, SFS-5E, and SFS-5EA controls only with fans marked "Suitable
for use with solid-state fan-speed controls."
7. Do not wire an SFSQ-LF in circuit with a GFCI or AFCI breaker/receptacle.
8. Controls may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
9. When no "ground means" exists within the wallbox, then NEC® 2008 404.9
exception to (b) allows a control without a ground connection, to be installed as a
replacement. For this type of installation, cap or remove the green control ground
wire. A control installed under this exception (NEC® 2008 404.9 exception to (b))
must be provided with a plastic, noncombustible, UL listed wallplate.
10. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
11. Clean control with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners.
Multi-Unit Installations
When combining controls in a wallbox, remove all inner side sections before wiring (see
below). Use pliers to bend each side section up and down until it breaks off. FS-5E,
GFS-5E, SFS-5E, and SFS-5EA controls require reduction of their capacity. Refer to chart
below for maximum capacity. SFSQ-LF controls do not require capacity reduction.
Step 5 Wire the control.

Step 7 Turn power ON.
Remove all inner side
sections (shaded).
Installation
For installations involving more than one control in a wallbox, refer to Multi-Unit
Installations before beginning.
Step 1 WARNING: Turn power OFF at circuit breaker or remove fuse.
Tag the wire that is connected to the feed side of
the switch (the side with the break-off fin).
