Configure a Fan Speed Controller

This applies to next generation lighting (compatible with OS 2.5 and later).

When adding a Fan Speed Controller to your project, a keypad is also added underneath it. Both devices need to be configured.

To configure a Fan Speed Controller:

  1. Add the Fan Speed Controller to your project tree, then identify it. For instructions, see “How to add devices to a project.”
  1. In the System Design view, select Fan Speed Controller. The device’s Properties tab opens.
  1. Configure the settings for the device as described in the following Properties sections.
