There are four outputs rated at 2A per output.

 Only one ceiling fan can be connected to any given output.

There are four speeds and OFF.

This is a true "quiet" design. It does not use phase-control dimming outputs. You can expect the same performance that you get from Lutron's wallbox quiet fan-speed controls (e.g. NTFSQ, SFSQ-F, etc)

This innovation ensures that the ceiling fan will start quickly and reliably, even at its lowest speed.

This product is in stock now.

It was introduced in version 3.90 of the HWI utility, which was released in January, 2001.

The list price is $600

We have no plans to develop a 220V/240V module at this time. The capacitors required to run at 240V are too large to fit into the RPM case.

This module will not control ceiling fans that have electronic speed controls integrated into them. It is capable of controlling traditional "pull-chain" ceiling fans up to 2.0 Amperes (we are not aware of any fans that are larger than 2 Amps).

Most ventilation fans that we are aware of do not work with a "quiet" speed control (the ones that are speed controllable usually want a phase-control output). The RPM-4FSQ is a not phase-control output - it is capacitive speed control output. Contact your ventilation fan manufacturer to find out if it is compatible with capacitive speed controls.

No. The RPM-4FSQ gets wired the same way that an RPM-4U gets wired. The neutral of the fan gets wired to the "Neutral" block and the "hot" for the fan motor gets wired to the "Dimmed Hot" block.

Fans that have a pull-chain for the motor and the light kit should have the following wires: Fan hot, Light hot, Neutral (for fan and light). You can control the fan with an RPM-4FSQ and the light with an RPM-4U. We recommend the following: If the light is to be controlled by an RPM-4U, put it in the same enclosure as the RPM-4FSQ. Since they share a neutral, make sure you put the RPM-4U and the RPM-4FSQ on the same phase.

The RPM-4FSQ is unaffected by the manual override function. All outputs will stay in their current state when the manual override is turned on or off. If the processor is turned off and the RPM-4FSQ stays powered, it will leave the fan outputs unchanged. However, if power to the RPM-4FSQ is removed and restored, all outputs on the module will be turned off and will remain off until the module begins to get communications from the processor.

Do not connect this unit to lighting loads - the unit will be damaged if you do. Make sure you test all of the circuits with the bypass jumpers installed to verify that the loads are correctly connected. Use the pull-chain on the fan to set the fan on "full speed" after the load has been verified.
