Rigging ceiling fan controller to centrifugal fan

[z0ngsong]

ya know.... when Overgrow was still up and had their Growfaq.... Since og was like my mother when it came to growing I printed out the the entire growfaq... ya the entire thing. I put them in a binder and i got 2 big binder's full and one little one to contain all the pages from the grow faq.. Here is my question.... if you didnt get it from the title.... I remember something from the faq about this... but I got to admit i dont feel like flipping through the "bible" and wonder if their is a link around where someone can rig a ceiling fan controller to a centrifugal fan. I need help guys!!! I need it badly!! please someone help my poor soul

thanks

EDit: I enclosed a pic of my controller.... I can take a pic of the fan if needed... thanks so much

both the fan and the controller are 120v by 60hz.... so they should be compatable.. correct?

Most inline fans dont do well on these type of controllers. I believe they need a higher end controller like a solid state or something like that. Cant remember exactly what they are called. Otherwise they make noise

a solid state huh... i guess i'll have to google that. any more opinions? I need more opinions!!!!

Controllers do not work (emphasis) on brushless or slow start motors. Contact your local electric motor supply warehouse to verify. In the Yellow Pages. If your fan motor is a brush type then all is OK.
