Question about Tamarack HV1000-R Fan

Converting to variable speed

I would like to convert this fan to operate at variable speeds. Installing a 3 wire variable speed ceiling fan switch didn't work. Once the current drops the doors start to close and the motors cut out. Is this possible?

Just do a wall control

    If the motor cuts out and the doors start to close, then the unit is not designed to run on variable current. A "Dimmer Switch" variably changes is amount of resistance, thus supplying a variable amount of current. If the dimmer got warm or hot, then it's rating was the problem. I would call the manufacturer. It is possible that the wrong current can permanently damage the unit, especially if the unit converts AC power to DC, which runs the fans. That would be an expensive mistake.

I have a hampton bay ceiling fan which will only run on the fast speed. I have changed switches but still only the fast speed. I have touched each wire to the load wire to see if it was the swith but no...
Hello Brother,
Installation:
Hang your ceiling fan on the Quick Connect fan bracket and wire the ceiling fan according to the manufacturer's instructions. The three wires coming from your ceiling should match the three wires coming from your ceiling fan: black (positive or hot), white (neutral or negative) and green (ground wire).


Use the high, medium and low keys on the remote to adjust the Hampton Bay fan speed, then use the light key to dim the light and the off key to turn off the fan.


For REMOTE CONTROL FANS you cannot use with any variable speed or slide wall switches. The remote control function must be used with on & off switch outlets only.

Wiring for a 3 speed fan regulator. Previous was a variable controller
Assuming this is not the new electronic signal sendor switch that was made only for the fan and came with the fan; if this is a 3 speed mechanical switch to operate a 3 speed fan, you will need to have 4 wires going to the fan from the switch-----one wire is the common Neutral, the other three are : a single wire for each speed. Good luck, Macgivor

Hunter ceiling fan-just installed -possible speed control problem
Sounds like the fan is defective. All internal wiring from the switch to the motor is factory installed. The fan has power going to it. Just to make sure, double check the wiring from the ceiling fixture to the fan.
Problem could be a faulty switch on the fan or faulty motor(bad winding for med. speed). Try reverse switch on the fan to operate the opposite direction and see if medium speed works. If medium does work in opposite direction, it pretty much points to a defective fan. In any case, unless you discover that the ceiling wires were reversed going into the fan, I'd say new fan to the returns dept.

Need a replacement fan speed potentiometer.
Okay -- first off, I don't know where she got that number from, but that's idiotic.

The variable-speed switch will provide different readings depending on where it's turned to. If the switch is busted ("open), it will typically display a reading of 'infinity' on your ohmmeter.

And yes -- the best place to find a replacement is Radio Shack, since Casablanca discontinued them.

HOWEVER---

Casablanca's variable-speed ceiling fans -- specifically the "SlumberQuiet" ones, which were made from circa 1980 or 1981 to the early/mid 1990s when variable-speed was discontinued -- are well-known for breaking down. The problem is almost never the potentiometer (variable-speed dial). Rather, the problem is almost always the resistor which is mounted in the heat-sink inside the fan's motor housing. There are NO replacements left for these -- so Casablanca makes a "variable-speed to 3-speed conversion kit", which will convert your fan to a more normal 3-speed pull-chain (hi-med-low) setup.

I hope that helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!

Wiring a Hampton Bay ceiling fan
Hi Rexter,

I would pull the cover off of the Light switch and look at the color of the wire leaving the Variable speed device. I only assume the red wire is from that. I do not like to assume anything. So you must verify that a red wire leaves the Variable speed device. If it does, then i am assuming you dim the lights with this Variable device. The fan has its own built in Variable speed setup. In the case that the red wire belongs to the variable device, wire the Red to Blue(light), and Black to Black Whites to white. Green to Ground. bare wires to ground.
