can I use a speed controller with this unit?

Yes you can use a speed controller on this blower motor. Use one that is rated for atleast two amps or greater. Do not use a dimmer switch designed for incandescent lighting.

It worked for my Crown Royal furnace with a speed controller. (Though it may take a certain type of controller.)

Hi James H.You can press the SPEED button on the unit to select speed. Thanks. >Joffrey

Absolutely. But only *after* the speed controller. i.e. run 12 volts to speed control input, then run speed control's output to the DPDT switch center two terminals. Then from a pair of outer two terminals (with crossover wires to other two outer terminals) to the motor.

Yes, this unit has externally Accessible Brushes - allows for easy brush changes. Whether you can use a speed controller on it will best be answered by the manufacturer directly at 866-539-1710.

You can control the speed with trigger. With trigger fully depressed speed set by contoller

No problem. Just cut the hot/power side and install the speed controler. I did the same on mine. I use mine as an extractor over my stove. Works great !

I didn't notice a difference. The speed controller kind of seemed pointless. There's only 2 settings low and high. Low is nice and high for me was just too much!!! So I only use it on low haha. I hope I answered your question.

This control will not work with slow statting motor! I believe my answer is no.

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 it is common to purchase a speed controller for a fan such as this.

Yes. I hooked it up to an Arduino that controls the voltage to the motor (using a transistor) to vary its speed.

Not really... 150 cfm or higher with a speed controller is more what you need.

I don't think so. I believe your motor is an AC only motor which wouldn't be compatible with this speed controller designed for an AC/DC brush motor

NO! The variable speed control is not good and I returned this driver Home Depot.

It has a switch on the side that will allow you to choose between 3 different fan speeds. Not sure about the external speed controller though.

I'm sorry Ross, I sold mine because of size and speed. I just don't know, I don't think so because you need the APP to unlock the speed control... Good Luck!

No you would have to have a speed paddle on the transducer. Your unit will give you speed via the gps. It's a more accurate rating than the transducer would give
