You would need a three position switch rather than the two position switch this guy shows in the video, right? Just run your hot from your 14-2 wire to your switch directly. I see this is three years old, but worth noting if you ask this question maybe you shouldn't be doing your own wiring....
I have a QC ES 4700 and the fan has 5 wires: Blue, Red, White, Green, and a Black wire with white strip. I'm guessing that Blue=high speed, Red=low speed, White=neutral, Green=ground. What's the black wire with white stripe. How do I wired up the black wire with white stripe?
Am thinking of buying and installing myself. I will be running a dedicated circuit for the fan. Would running 12 gauge wire be safer? What’s the amp rating for the fan?
The instructions that are included in any 3 way switch will include a simple wiring diagram for two loads. The two loads correspond to the low and high power setting of the fan. You'll have a 14/2 Romex coming into the box with power, and a 14/3 Romex going from the switch to the fan. The ground and the common (white) wires are attached to the incoming ground and common wire respectively, and the red and black wire of the 14/3 Romex that goes to the fan are connected to the loads on the switch. Then The fan is connected to the 14/3 Romex, just matching the colors of the incoming wires to those from the fan.
I installed this in April of this year. Working fine up until today. Now no power is getting to the fan. I've checked with my meter, and no power is getting over to the high/low switch. When I press the "hold" button until it lights up, I heard the normal "click" sound. Can you give me a clue what's wrong?
Most likely the timer switch has failed. These electronic switches are garbage and made to fail. I will likely be installing a mechanical timer when I install my WHF. More robust and nothing fancy that will fail.
Did anyone else notice that the switch is not connected to the incoming ground, and therefore with this wiring setup the fan is not grounded? The proper way to wire this is with a pigtail connecting the timer, the switch, the incoming power wire and the outgoing wire to the fan. For the correct instructions, search for the video called " Two-Speed PSC wiring guide" by QC manufacturing (makers of the fan).
This video only applies to Classic and Trident Pro models with PSC motors. For ECM motors used on Energy Saver and Stealth Pro models use this method - ua-cam.com/video/HVUe73eMtX4/v-deo.html
This video does not apply to any of the two speed systems. You have to run two 14-2 wire into the handy box on the fan. One coming from the switch and one from the power source.
Harry Ines that's odd because they are clearly demoing a 2 speed fan he even shows it running at both speeds and this guy works for the manufacturer...... but you say the demo video that the company made is wrong?
shaun schooler Yeah I am. He has power to the timer and at 4:38 he only shows one 14-2 Romex to the box from the switch. Why not show that you need to either keep the provided power cord or run another 14-2 from a power source to the fan. It is misleading.
@@HHBlades The wiring shown in the video works for PSC motors. Unfortunately it doesn't say this in the video title or description. For ECM motors you have to wire it just as you mentioned. Classic and Trident Pro use PSC motors. Energy Saver and Stealth use ECM motors.
@@StephenPaul1160 That is correct. This video only applies to PSC wiring, the multispeed ECM fan units do require a constant power source to the motor as shown in the installations instructions.
Этот парень просто мастер объяснять ! Очень понятно и классно ! Спасибо друг!!!
I don’t want a timer just a standard 2 speed switch with 14-3 wire, how can I wire it like that?
You would need a three position switch rather than the two position switch this guy shows in the video, right? Just run your hot from your 14-2 wire to your switch directly. I see this is three years old, but worth noting if you ask this question maybe you shouldn't be doing your own wiring....
And if you do know what you're doing, you'd realize that this wiring setup leaves the fan ungrounded...

Does the fan draw more than 15 amps? No. If you don't know this don't do this work yourself.
Can you provide instructions on how to install a 3 speed fan to a 3rd party smart switch?
Ok way is my sttic fan low is high ,and high is low and when it is running on low whice is high it will shutdown
How to wire 2-speed without a timer?
The instructions that are included in any 3 way switch will include a simple wiring diagram for two loads. The two loads correspond to the low and high power setting of the fan. You'll have a 14/2 Romex coming into the box with power, and a 14/3 Romex going from the switch to the fan.

The current wiring instructions are not as clear as this video. Thank you!
But then again, the wiring in the video leaves the fan ungrounded

At around the 3:00 mark, he talks about the power (14-2 wire) coming down and into the timer. Do you tap off an existing outlet to do this?
+keithowu Yes you can
Note: This instructional does NOT apply to the QC ES-4700

loose the music, its is distracting.
Lose. Your spelling is annoying.

They need to remake this video and clarify that you need constant power at the fan as well as the switch
