Fully variable control delivers smooth, continuous dimming of incandescent and halogen loads, enabling precise airflow management for commercial spaces and light industrial applications. The RFS5-V translates exact voltage adjustments into measurable energy savings and temperature comfort, reducing overspeed and noise. During commissioning, technicians can dial in the ideal fan speed for each zone, boosting occupant satisfaction and reducing energy waste. Power failure memory ensures the last operating setting is retained after an outage, minimizing downtime and the need for manual reconfiguration. This feature improves reliability in critical spaces like data centers or manufacturing floors where consistent fan behavior is essential. Operators experience fewer reset events, and maintenance teams spend less time on recalibration. Wire lead connections using #16 AWG wires with a flush mounting method simplifies installation and reduces panel space requirements. The unit is designed for indoor environments and can be wired as a single-pole control, expediting refurbishment projects and new builds alike. Compact dimensions and lightweight construction help installers achieve clean, code-compliant installations. Designed for HAL INC loads, the RFS5-V operates at 120 V, 60 Hz with a 5 A rating, making it compatible with common ceiling fan and lighting configurations. Its fully variable operation supports precise dimming without flicker or buzzing, while the 60 Hz specification ensures compatibility with standard North American power distribution. Constructed in ivory polycarbonate, this controller is suited for indoor use and blends with typical ceiling fan housings. The flush-mount design reduces visible hardware and provides a clean, professional appearance, especially in commercial interiors or schools. The rugged polycarbonate housing offers durability in busy facilities. cULus Listed certification provides safety compliance in North American markets, easing procurement and installation in regulated environments. This aligns with standard practice for fan controls in commercial installations and makes the RFS5-V a cost-effective solution for replacing legacy dimmers or adding variable speed control to existing fan circuits.

FAQs
The RFS5-V installation starts with powering down the circuit, then mounting flush within the panel or wall cavity. Connect the #16 AWG wires to the wire lead terminals, ensuring secure, code-compliant terminations. Confirm single-pole operation and proper insulation, then test the control at 120 V, 60 Hz to verify smooth, leak-free dimming and reliable power-failure memory.
Yes. The RFS5-V is designed for HAL INC loads and supports fully variable dimming at 120 V and 60 Hz. It provides precise control for incandescent and halogen lighting, helping to achieve desired illumination levels while maintaining safe current draw up to 5 A.
Power failure memory preserves the last-set fan speed after a power interruption, eliminating the need to reconfigure the controller after outages. This improves reliability in environments where continuous ventilation settings are critical, such as server rooms, labs, or manufacturing floors, reducing downtime and maintenance effort.
The RFS5-V carries cULus Listed certification, indicating compliance with North American safety standards for electrical equipment. This simplifies procurement and installation in regulated commercial and industrial environments, ensuring the product meets established safety criteria and reduces regulatory risk during audits and inspections.
By providing fully variable, precise dimming, the RFS5-V minimizes excessive fan speed and reduces electricity consumption. The embedded power-failure memory lowers maintenance time after outages, while the compatibility with standard wiring simplifies installation. Together, these factors shorten payback periods and extend equipment life in office, retail, and light industrial applications.
