[QUOTE="sellers, post: 201804, member: 2357"] Ok firstly, in my limited experience with installing fans with controllers, I fit fans that have matching controllers so there is no confusion and all instructions correspond. Your problem seems to be the fan, does it say it is able to be controlled with a speed controller? Usually, as you say with your connections L1 is a perm to the fan, and L2 is a variable feed, as far as I'm concerned I follow the instructions that come from Vent Axia, and match the L1+L2 to the L1+L2 in the fan and it works as it should. It sounds like your Fan doesnt have the second live connection it needs to be variable. More importantly if your here asking how not to burn the house down you shouldn't be attempting this, especially when the upside down T sounds like your talking about the earth connection. Best to get someone in who knows what they are doing. Theres 100 and 1 reasons why this may be dangerous or even the circuit you are connecting this into may be dangerous. [/QUOTE]
