Overview

The device described in the manual is the Emerson SW46 Quietslide Fan Control.

Function Description:

The Emerson SW46 Quietslide Fan Control is a single-pole, 4-speed fan motor control designed to operate one Emerson ceiling fan. Its primary function is to allow users to select from four distinct fan speeds (1, 2, 3, 4) and an OFF position (0) by sliding a bar on the control. This control effectively converts any Emerson ceiling fan into a four-speed fan. It is crucial that the ceiling fan's pull chain switch is set to its HIGH speed setting before using this wall control to ensure proper operation and to avoid erratic speeds or potential damage to the ceiling fan. The control is specifically designed for fan operation and is not intended for use with accessory light kits.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model Number: SW46
  • Color Options: White/Ivory
  • Control Type: Single-pole, 4-speed fan motor control
  • Maximum Current: 1.25 Amps
  • Voltage: 120 VAC
  • Frequency: 60 Hz
  • Compatibility: Exclusively for use with Emerson ceiling fans.
  • Installation: Designed to fit into a standard wall outlet box.
  • Included Hardware: Two 6-32 x 3/4" screws for attaching the control to the outlet box, two 6-32 x 1/4" screws for attaching the faceplate, and wire connectors.

Usage Features:

  • 4-Speed Control: Offers four distinct fan speeds (1, 2, 3, 4) and an OFF (0) position, selected by a sliding bar.
  • OFF Position: The "0" position on the slider turns the fan off.
  • Pre-use Setting: Before using the wall control, the ceiling fan's pull chain switch must be set to its HIGH speed. This is a critical step to ensure proper function and prevent damage.
  • Accidental Pull Chain Use Prevention: The manual suggests shortening the fan's pull chain by cutting it 1" below the switch body to avoid accidental changes to the fan's speed setting while the wall control is in use.
  • Compatibility Note: The control is designed to work only with Emerson ceiling fans. Using it with other brands or with fans equipped with built-in variable speed devices that are not set to their maximum speed can lead to fire, shock, serious personal injury, or damage to the control.
  • Adjustment Caution: For fans with built-in variable speed devices, these devices must be set to their MAXIMUM SPEED. Any adjustments to these settings should only be made when the Quietslide control is in the OFF position (0). Changing these settings while the fan control is in operation could damage the control.

Maintenance Features:

  • No Specific Maintenance Instructions: The manual does not detail specific user-performed maintenance tasks for the fan control itself.
  • Warranty Coverage: The product is covered by a limited warranty for one year from the date of purchase, covering defects in workmanship and materials. The original purchaser or user is covered.
  • Warranty Service: To obtain service, proof of purchase (receipt or other proof) is required. Defective fan controls will be replaced at no charge. The owner is responsible for removal, reinstallation, and shipping costs to Emerson for warranty service.
  • Exclusions from Warranty: The warranty does not cover defects or failures caused by unauthorized repairs, use of unauthorized parts/accessories, mishandling, improper installation, modifications, damage while in possession, unreasonable use, misuse, abuse, failure to perform reasonable/necessary maintenance, normal wear and tear. The warranty is voided if the original purchaser/user no longer owns the product or if the ceiling fan is moved from its original installation point.
  • Installation Safety: The manual emphasizes safety during installation, including turning off electricity at the main fuse or circuit breaker box, ensuring no bare wires are exposed, and conforming to all National and Local Electrical Codes. It recommends that a licensed electrician install the control if the user lacks sufficient electrical knowledge.
  • Product Protection: When returning the product for service, it should be properly packed to avoid damage in transit, as Emerson will not be responsible for such damage.
