Marley 12006 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Marley 12006 Spyder switch handle my fan motor load at 120V?
The Marley 12006 Spyder variable-speed control is rated 120V and 6A. Add up the nameplate amps of everything on the switch; as long as the total stays at or under 6 amps on a 120-volt circuit, the switch is sized for it. That covers typical ceiling fans, exhaust fans, and heater blower motors. Larger or multiple-motor loads that exceed 6 amps need a higher-rated control.
2) What size wall opening does the Marley 12006 slide control need?
The 12006 is a slide-style control with a 3/4 in x 6-1/2 in profile that drops into a standard wall opening. It is a low-profile body, so it works for retrofit into an existing switch location as well as new construction.
3) Will a variable-speed control like the Marley 12006 work on any ceiling fan motor?
Only on motors meant for variable-speed control. The 12006 is a 120V, 6A motor speed control, and it suits permanent-split-capacitor and shaded-pole fan motors of the kind used in ceiling fans, exhaust fans, and heater blowers. Motors with their own electronic or DC controller, or fans whose maker specifies a dedicated controller, should not be put on an external speed control. Check the motor nameplate or the fan maker's instructions before wiring it in.
4) Is the Marley 12006 a stepped three-speed switch or truly variable?
Truly variable. The 12006 uses a continuously adjustable slide rather than fixed speed taps, so you can dial a motor in anywhere across its range instead of choosing low/medium/high. If a tenant or facility needs repeatable preset speeds, a tap-style three-speed switch is the better fit; if they need fine airflow trimming, this is the right type.
5) Can I use the Marley 12006 to control the blower on an electric wall or baseboard heater?
Yes, fan speed control on baseboard and wall heater blowers is one of the stated applications for the Spyder 12006, provided the blower motor draws 6 amps or less at 120 volts. Note it controls the motor only, not the heating element.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the Marley Spyder variable-speed control?
Order Marley part number 12006. It is the Spyder series variable-speed motor control switch, 120V/6A. There is a single model on it, so no finish or amperage option has to be specified.
