Which electrical connection do I need?

To install a ceiling fan, you need to operate it 220 - 240 volts ~ 50 Hz voltage. But what about the control of the fan? What wires do you need for what?

Because all AC ceiling fans (not ECO models) from CasaFan have separate supply wires for the light and motor, the control is very simple to implement, depending on your needs.

If you have a cable connection with continuous voltage on the ceiling, which is not switched on and off by a (light) switch, you can mount all models with built-in tap changer with or without lamp. For operation, you only need to switch the lamp or the motor on or off at the pull switch. Speed control is also done from here. Alternatively, you can use one of our remote controls to switch the speed and light.

If you have a cable connection on the ceiling that can be switched on and off via a light switch, you can also use any model with a built-in pull switch here. You set the desired speed at the pull switch. The direction of rotation is set via a slide switch on the unit. The fan now starts up at the speed and direction of rotation set on the pull switch when the light switch is actuated. To change the speed, you must change it on the pull switch; to reverse the direction of rotation, change it.

If you want to replace your previous ceiling lamp with a fan with lamp, this is easily possible. If a simple light switch was previously available for this purpose, you can continue to use it. The pull switch of the fan is switched to OFF, that of the lamp to ON. Now you can switch the lamp on or off as before when entering the room with your light switch. If necessary, the fan is switched on via the pull switch. Furthermore, the light switch can be replaced with the SCNR5 (5-step) or ST4/150-400 (4-step) control units.

If you have a series or dual circuit (L1, L2, N, PE), the motor and lamp can be switched independently. This is the ideal case for the operation of a ceiling fan with lamp. The speed controllers SCNRL 5 or ST4/400 with built-in light switch are also suitable for this purpose. The connection of a dimmer for the lamp is always possible with a separate phase in conjunction with one of our speed controllers or step transformers.
