Ceiling Fan/Light Controller
Most ceiling fans are installed at locations where only lights existed before. Consequently, there is only one wall switch and one 120 VAC line available to power your fan and light (in some cases there are three way switches which have the same problem.) To turn your fan and light on independently you have to use those cumbersome pull chains or add another wall switch and run a new wire between the switch and the fan. The FAN
LIGHT CONTROLLER gives you independent control of the fan switch in a simple "off" and "on" 3-Stage sequence. The FAN
LIGHT CONTROLLER is easily installed in the decorative ceiling canopy of the fan.
- Easy Installation
- Control fan and light independently from one wall switch
- Eliminates use of pull chains
- Installs easily in canopy of ceiling fan
- Requires no extra wiring between switch and ceiling fan and light
- Cannot be lost like a remote control unit
- 120 Vac
- Made in USA

Specifications
|
- If fan has already been installed, lower ceiling canopy. For fans similar to figure 2 below, the fan blades may have to be removed.
- Make electrical connections as shown in figure 1.
ATTENTION: follow fan/light installation instruction for a two switch hook-up. - If fan motor is in ceiling canopy, fasten the FL101 with screws & anchors (fig. 2). Drill 3/16 ̋ holes for anchors. If fan motor is not in ceiling canopy, mount as in fig. 3.
CAUTION: diameter of canopy must be 5.2 ̋ or greater. - Wires and splices from FL101 must be put inside outlet box. In fig. 2 make sure that FL101 and its wires do not interfere with the rotation of the fan motor.
- Sequence wall switch to cause fan & light to be on, then pull chains to turn on light and obtain desired fan speed.
