Can I use this fan with 3-way switches-turn on in one place and turn off in 2nd location with speed setting staying the same as last time it was used?

The fan speed/direction is set using the remote and the speed/direction remains set each time you turn on the fan unless you change it using the remote. I don't see why it would make any difference if you use a 3-way switch or a single pole switch.

Don't even bother with a switch.....the remote is perfect. I thought I was going to be to switch story to my electrician you have to come back. But now that I've had only the remote the switch would be a waste of time.

I use the fan with both the wireless contol and a standard one way switch. The speed setting stays the same as set wtih the remote, when turning off and on at the wall switch. Since the three way switch only supplies power to the fan (off or on) in the same way as to a light, it will work just fine.Best regards,H A Brooks

If your fan pull switch goes off-high-medium-low, and it has 4 wires going to it, then this should be ok. If you have 4 position but only three wires you should find one of these switches (or use this switch if you know what you are doing). Take good pics before disassembling your fan switch! Good luck.

Instructions say yes, but it really has to do with the amount of power the fan motor draws, compared to the amount of power the switch is designed for. I played it safe and put in one for each fan.

This fan has a 3-way switch. Off-Low-High. I really like this fan. I use it in my motorhome to circulate the air.

Sonja, I don't think it's designed to work with a 3-way circuit. You would have to place it electrically right between the fan and the two switches. Basically, when it was off, the 3-way switches would appear not to work. When it was on, one of the 3-way switches would have to be on. It can't just replace one of the three way switches. I'm not an electrician (but worked with electronics all my life), so anything I've just told you is my best guess. I would try contacting Panasonic with an email to see if anyone makes what you're looking for, or if this switch could possibly work.

Yes, as long as your fan is a 2 speed fan to begin with it's a generic speed switch. You can also wire it through a timer too.

No. You must use the switch on the fan body to reverse the fan. The switch only controls the speeds and light. The reverse switch is not on the control to prevent the user from reversing the fan when in operation and damaging the motor. Always start the fan control in high speed and never switch into reverse while the fan is moving. Following these guide lines should keep your fan operating for many years.

If you plan to use this product to vent multiple rooms, a 3-way switch could control fan operation from the different locations. The fan does not come with a whip, or plug, wiring is connected in the small box mounted on the side of fan. With that you would simply wire the fan like you would a light. Hope this helps.

Yes. My brother just installed this fan for me. I am able to turn the fan on and off, as well as choose the speed and whether I want the fan to go in reverse all via the remote. And you can use the remote to turn on/off the light. Hope this info helps.

Yes, but put the fan on high speed and control the speed with the new variable speed switch.

No you cannot. I have my fan remote in front of me and there are 5 buttons on it total. 3 for speed, 1 for power, and 1 for the light (optional). You have to manually reverse the airflow via a switch that is on the fan itself. Hope this helps!

Don't believe you can. The inner wiring is for two independent fixtures or a fan/light combo. The fan side has set stops in the slider for variable speeds. The other side is traditional slider to dim the light. The respective switch for each turns it off and on.

If you want to use a variable switch, just set the fan on High and then use your switch to control speeds.

I believe there is a switch on top of fan for that function. Might want to confirm with manufacture.

You can control the fan from multiple switches, they need to be wired in parallel - no need for 3-way switches (or these can be timers, again don't have to be 3-way, just ensure they're rated for this fan). Here's some good info. on this subject, with wiring diagram: http://www.hvacquick.com/howtos/howto_fd60em.phpI just bought this fan, and doing the same thing so I was looking for that answer as well.

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

No. This will not work in a 3 way switch application. Also requires a neutral.
