What speed controller works with this fan or what is working for you? The only controller recommended is titan controls but want opinions. Thank you

Do not use a light dimmer it will make an ungodly suffering machine noise like all the overpriced chinese fans. At least mine did.

The Titans Control Mercury 2 - Fan Speed Controller works great at any speed you put it at. The SE Electronic Stepless Speed Controller didn't work at all (either full on or off)

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.

I do have the remote and it works really well for changing the speed. The different speeds are great, with very smooth operations. I am extremely happy with this ceiling fan.

did you end up purchasing this fan for your project? if so, how did it work for you? i have a similar project in mind.

The Duct Fan Speed Controller Adjuster by Active Air will work with this fan. Also, The Speedster - Variable Fan Speed Control from Sunlight Supply will as well.

I asked LEDwholesalers the same question RocPopy, This is there response. "Hello: Sorry, our fans are unlikely to work with fan speed controllers. Regards, LEDwholesalers" That should clear things up for everyone.

The easiest answer is that it has to be hard wired to be installed properly and "Yes" is does have the controller built in. An external controller can be used, such as a fan-rated timer or single-pole thermostat. You'd leave the existing control knob "on" and set to the right speed and the external control simply has to start or stop power (good for me since my fan is installed 9' high on the wall).

I used mine to interface to a zone controller so that would not be available as an option. I did not see any options on the programming of the stat. to control speed any way. My best guess from not seeing that option is that the thermostat would not control the speed but cant say for sure, I am not sure if your air handler has any sensors in it to detect if it needs to change fan speeds without a signal to do so from the thermostat, you could check on what actually controls the speed of the fan your equipment. This thermostat has tons of programming options and is the very best I have ever had or seen, but again I did not see programming options for speed control.

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.

it has a off/on and rheostat. but wont control my fan speed. on high all the time. the one I bought was the kbmc-13bv. the one I need is the kbmc-13bvns. they said the 13bv would work but it does not

CFM is the best on the market. The problem is that the speed control is LOW quality. You will need to cut off the speed control, and add a cig. lighter plug with fuse. I had 3 fans-speed control broke on ALL of them in just a few months!

I don't use a speed controller for my setup, but I can tell you that this broke down on me in less than 2 months. If there's a way to check without buying anything new, just tell me and I'll respond back.

No, this is for manual control (it doesn't use the mobo controllers). Fans get plugged into this, and the round dials control the fan speed. I got this because my (asrock) motherboard didn't have enough controllers and I didn't want to run my fans at 100% power. CPU cooler stays on the motherboard, everything else gets plugged into this.

It's 400cfm.And yes it works with adjustable controller. I have mine hooked up to a stepless controller.SE Electronic Stepless Speed ControllerDuring ssummer it runs 24/7 on max. During winter I was using a lower speed and timer but didn't had to use it much because upstairs was nice and warm without it. It really pays for its self in summer by pushing cold air up. I have it installed in the attic main which feeds the entire second floor. 400cfm x 24 hours = 5706000 cubic feet of air movement in one day.

Yes. I use the SE-Electronic-Stepless-Speed-Controller available on amazon as well. The speed is fully controllable, I run it at about 2/3 speed, perhaps 100-120 cfm, I did have to replace my filter with a "Mountain Fresh" brand I purchased separately to get full odor protection. The fan has run constantly for close to a year with the speed-controller and I have been very satisfied with its performance thus far.

No, but you can buy a fan speed controller at either Lowes or Home Depot that should work. they're about $ 20- 30 bucks and they will fit into most existing outlet boxes. i returned mine and bought a a Hampton Bay 60" industrial, model # 526-012 from Home Depot. It's about 30.00 more, but has reverseable speed and the wall controller fits easily into the outlet box and looks much nicer ( to me ). Both fans look similar and both move a lot of air, run quietly, and are fairly easy to install. The Westinghouse has steel blades and the Hampton Bay has plastic blades but are thick and sturdy.
