Ceiling fan speed controller
Product description
The ECAN1-10-AC is a 4-speed ceiling fan controller with two OFF positions. It is a capacitor-based controller designed for single-phase motors and provides four speed settings for manual control of ceiling fan speed.
The controller has a maximum current rating of 1 A or a maximum power rating of 150 W. It operates on a 230 VAC supply voltage.
The controller is suitable for both inset mounting (IP44) and surface mounting (IP54).
Additional specifications and description
What are ceiling fans and how do they work?
Ceiling fans are a useful addition to any enclosed space. They help cool down rooms during the warm months and circulate warm air during the cold months, which makes them energy-efficient and cost-effective. The principle behind the operation of a ceiling fan is based on the concept of air movement.
When the ceiling fan is switched on, the motor powers the blades to rotate in a circular motion. As the blades rotate, they create a flow of air that goes downwards to the floor. This flow of air creates a cooling effect on the skin, helping to lower the perceived temperature in the room.
The motor is the heart of the ceiling fan and is responsible for driving the rotation of the fan blades, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. These manually operated wall-mounted switches are a practical and reliable way to control your ceiling fan without the need for a remote control or pull chains. They are especially useful when you want a fixed and easily accessible control point for the settings of your fan.
Why use a controller for ceiling fans?
A controller for ceiling fans allows you to control a ceiling fan's operation. These controllers can enhance the convenience and functionality of ceiling fans in your home or office. The purpose of such a controller is to extend the service life of the fan while providing comfort.

How does the 4-speed control switch change a ceiling fan’s speed?
This 4-speed control switch (controller) is designed for ceiling fans. By changing the position of the knob, the internal capacitance changes. When the capacitance increases, the voltage across the capacitor decreases, but the voltage across the fan motor increases. As a result, the speed of the fan increases.
What makes installing ECAN1-10-AC easy?
Our wall-mounted controllers are typically installed on the wall just like a standard light switch. They are manually operated and extremely easy to connect.
What is the area of use?
The series is developed to control fans with AC motors via reducing the motor voltage. An AC fans run on an alternating current and convert alternating current into mechanical power. These controllers reduce the voltage to the motor via phase angle control. Therefore, the ECAN1 controllers are suitable only for voltage-controllable motors. Several motors can be connected to the controller as long as the current limit is not exceeded. In this case, all motors will run at the same speed. If you are not sure about your motor type, we strongly advise you to read carefully its accompanying documentation or contact the motor manufacturer.
What makes the enclosure reliable?
The enclosure of the controller is made of high-quality white ASA plastic. This material is UV resistant and protects the electronics against ingress of dust, dirt and water splashes. In addition, the controller supports both inset mounting and surface mounting, allowing it to be installed on different types of walls. The protection class is IP44 for inset mounting and IP54 for surface mounting. If you opt for the inset-mounted option, the mounting holes fit perfectly the standard European wall boxes. The controller is easy to clean using only a damp cloth.
