Feature → Business Impact → Application: The RFS15-LA provides a 3-Speed control with power failure memory, ensuring the last selected speed recovers after a power outage, reducing random temperature fluctuations and improving process stability in control panels and enclosure cooling. This translates to tangible maintenance savings and longer life for fans and drives in automated systems. Application: Ideal for industrial automation cabinets and equipment enclosures where reliable, repeatable cooling is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 120 V, 60 Hz operation supports standard US electrical infrastructure (1.5 A load), simplifying panel design and integration with existing wiring methods while reducing the need for additional transformers or power conditioning. Application: Suitable for retrofits and new installations in manufacturing lines with tight space constraints. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wire lead termination using #16 AWG wires enables fast, low-component wiring with robust connections, cutting installation time and minimizing field error. Application: Great for retrofit projects in legacy systems and new builds alike. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Flush mounting and a polycarbonate housing in light almond color deliver a compact, durable, and aesthetically unobtrusive solution for indoor control panels. Application: Enclosures requiring clean appearance and rugged performance in high-traffic manufacturing environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Incandescent and halogen load compatibility (Load type INC HAL) ensures versatile control for mixed lighting and small fans, reducing the need for separate controllers. Application: Lighting and cooling control in machine enclosures and process panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: cULus Listed certification provides formal safety compliance, easing approvals and reducing commissioning risk in US and Canadian facilities. Application: Electrical installers and procurement teams can specify with confidence for regulated environments. Support and long-term value: The controller's compact dimensions and weight make stocking and field service straightforward, while the maintained closure and durable polycarbonate construction support continuous operation with minimal downtime in industrial settings.

FAQs
The RFS15-LA uses a wire lead connection with #16 AWG wiring, designed for flush mounting in indoor control panels. Begin by selecting a suitable knockout, mount the device flush against the panel, and route all leads per the enclosure wiring diagram. Ensure 120 V supply and 60 Hz operation are confirmed, and secure connections to minimize vibration. This approach reduces installation time and supports reliable long-term operation in industrial cabinets.
The unit is rated for 120 V at 60 Hz with a 1.5 A load, suitable for incandescent or halogen load types. It offers a 3-Speed control with power failure memory to restore the previous setting after outages. The device uses a 16 AWG wire lead, compatible with standard control circuits, enabling straightforward integration into existing automation systems without extra transformers or adapters.
Yes. The RFS15-LA is designed for indoor environments and control panels, providing controlled cooling for fans and related loads. Its compact flush-mount form factor, light almond polycarbonate housing, and 3-Speed operation make it ideal for panel builders seeking reliable, low-profile fan control that reduces energy use and equipment wear while simplifying installation.
The RFS15-LA is cULus Listed, ensuring safety compliance for indoor electrical installations in the US and Canada. This certification supports smoother regulatory approvals, reduces risk during commissioning, and aligns with standard safety practices for control devices. No other certifications are specified in the current data set, but the cULus listing provides a strong baseline for reliability in industrial environments.
Using the RFS15-LA can lower energy waste through precise three-speed control and memory after power outages, reducing unnecessary fan operation. The simplified wiring with #16 AWG leads shortens install time, while flush mounting minimizes panel space constraints. Over time this translates to lower energy costs, reduced maintenance due to stabilized temperatures, and faster project commissioning in manufacturing lines.
