Does this switch use a mechanical fan? Or is a fanless design?

Fanless design--runs relatively cool. I've had no problems with this compared to Netgear & D-Link models.

While it is recommended that you use the included switch these fan can be wired manually according to the manufacture instructions.Thanks,-PasuTech

yes it has a 3 speed switch built into it that also can turn off without upluging or i have mine hooked up to a timer to come on and off at certain times. Good luck, great powerful fan.

Actually, I can use a wall-switch (for previous fan) to turn this fan on and off from a pre-set speed. Works great.

This fan only has an on and off switch. It is not thermostatically controlled. Works fine but is louder than I would like but not widely noisy so it hasn't caused any problems, so far. Be further advised that the fan is heavy, more so than I had anticipated. If you are going to mount the fan in a portable rack (I'm using a 6 unit ABS plastic Gator with wheels) make sure your rack is NOT a shallow rack. You need a full depth rack because even with a full depth rack the fan will stick out the back of the rack core about an inch. Even with the over reach the rear door has no problem covering the back of the fan. Hope this helps. This fan only has an on and off switch. It is not thermostatically controlled.

As I recall the switch is go/no go.The fan stays on all the time, or it turn on at a certain temperature and is not adjustable.

Yes; the switch is in the front. You have a choice of "low", "off", and "high". Caveat: The fan is very lightweight, so when you use the switch you can substantially change the angle of the fan.

Sorry the light switch is a variable glider, the fan 4 speeds even if it is a 3 speed.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

One switch for both. There is only one power wire connection to fan. It was designed to work off the remote.

This is how I use it, but you'll need 14/3 wire from the switch to the fan to do this. (Usually black + red "hot", white neutral , and bare copper ground). Most switches are only wired with 14/2 wire which only has one hot (no red)

Yes, has off and on switch plus button to allow fan to stay stationary or to ossoliate.

There are 3 switches. One for the fan, one the night light and one the light

No...manual switch required. Has a timer setting, thermostat and fan speed, but stays in mode selected.

No. The light is only activated by switch. You can choose to wire the fan up to a switch, but by doing so you would lose the automated feature of it while the switch is off. The fan is meant to be connected to an always live source so that it will turn itself on when it senses motion or humidity. Basically, there are 2 separated power leads on this unit. 1 for the light, and 1 for the fan.

Yes. It's a standard 3 speed fan switch available at Home Depot, Lowes and most hardware stores. I just replaced mine.

There is a switch for each fan to change from input/output. Note: my fan completely died the other day so threw it away. The back plastic had warped so the fan blades would hit it at slow speeds unless I bent them a bit.
