can this fan be used as a variable speed fan with a for example low/med/high switch

Don't believe so, my son used it for a science fair project and there seems to be only one air speed.

It will run continuously if left in the on position on a normal switch. I think you may be inquiring about meeting continuous ventilation requirements, which if so, you would couple this fan with a cvc 100 which will run the fan continuously at 20% power and then when you turn on actually activat e the unit via switch you will move to %100 for 20 min and revert back to 20% after that time period is up.

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.

We are building a house and bought this fan to install in the kitchen and we wired for the fan to be turned off and on via a switch on the wall, so I'm thinking you can do this, but you will have to have it wired to do so. Hope this helps!!

Yes. I use the wall switch to turn the fan on and off and the chain to vary the speed.

Yes, if the motherboard has that feature. This fan has a three wire connector.

Yes. I ordered mine for a whole house fan. It is wired in before the 2 speed fan switch. Works great. Gary.

This is the quietest fan I have ever used. I use it for cooling my Onkyo Home Theater receiver, which runs very warm. I just used a wall wart power supply to power it and haven't tried any speed control. I would think you can vary the speed by using a variable output DC power supply.

I think it could be. This simple unit must in all cases be plugged into the power source and then the item (fan) plugged into it. BUT the fan speed setting MUST be left on high and when started, allowed to get up to full speed before reducing power to slow the fan. This to prevent motor burn out. If you think about all fan on/off switches, they cycle through high when turned off/on. Give it a try, if it doesn't work it can be used to dim/brighten any incandescent lamp bulb, but no fluorescent lamps. I even used one to control an extensive low voltage system in display cabinets because the provided switch only included the typical high/medium/low settings. Good luck. I think it could be.

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, 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.

No, this is a fan switch only. I'd look for a slider switch. This one has to be played with to get the setting. Good luck!

I am using this switch for the fan without heat and it works fine. I would NOT use this for something it's not rated for. For all kinds of reasons.

I don't see why not. Just make sure you use a 4 wire connection to run the fan and light separately from the same single switch(es). Or, if you are using separate individual switches then I guess you'd be alright as well wiring each.

No. It is basically just and on/off switch which is activated by plenum/duct pressure. I also bought a fan that has two speeds so that I could control the air flow in the downstream duct.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

Sorry, but I don't know. It comes stock as a very basic fan with 3 speeds activated by a pull cord. There is probably room in that compartment where the switch is for the internal remote unit, but I think it would probably be better to just buy one that comes complete with a remote.
