Cooper Wiring Devices RFS5LA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cooper RFS5LA fan speed control work on a ceiling fan motor, and how big a fan can it handle?
The RFS5LA is rated 120V, 5A at 60 Hz, so it handles standard residential fan circuits up to 5 amps on a single-pole branch. Add up the nameplate current of everything on the control and keep it under 5A. It is a fully variable control, so you get continuous speed adjustment rather than fixed low/medium/high steps.
2) Can I use this Cooper fan speed controller in a 3-way setup with a second switch?
No. The RFS5LA is a single-pole device, so it controls the fan from one location only. For two-location control you need a 3-way arrangement, which this control is not built for.
3) What wire does the Cooper RFS5LA fan control connect with, and do I need wire nuts?
It terminates with wire leads, not screw terminals, so you splice it into the box with connectors. The leads accept up to #16 AWG wire.
4) Does this fan speed control remember the speed after a power outage?
Yes. The RFS5LA has power failure memory and is non-preset, so when power comes back the fan returns to the last speed you set instead of defaulting to full or off. Useful in rentals and hospitality rooms where you do not want a tenant resetting every fan after a flicker.
5) Can the Cooper RFS5LA be installed in a garage, porch, or unconditioned space?
Indoor use only. The operating range is 0 to 40 degrees C, so a damp porch, an unheated garage in winter, or an attic that swings past 40 C is outside what this control is rated for.
6) Can I dim the light kit on my ceiling fan with this Cooper control?
The RFS5LA is a fan speed control whose stated load type is incandescent and halogen. If a fan light kit is on the same switch leg you are controlling it along with the motor, and only incandescent or halogen lamps are within the stated load type. LED or CFL lamps are not. Most installs run the fan and light on separate legs, so wire the light to its own control.
7) Does this Cooper fan control mount flush in a standard wall box, and what color is it?
It installs flush to the wall for a low-profile look and comes in light almond. The housing is polycarbonate. Closure type is maintained, so the setting stays where you leave it.
8) What is the exact part number for the light almond Cooper fully variable fan speed controller?
Cooper Wiring Devices model RFS5LA. That single part number covers the light almond, fully variable, 120V 5A single-pole version.
