Product Characteristics
Description
Fan Speed Controller Range – SP, SPTK & SPM Controllers
Reliable Control Solutions for Single- and Three-Phase Ventilation Systems
The Fan Speed Controller Range provides a comprehensive solution for accurate airflow control, energy efficiency, and system protection across a wide variety of HVAC applications. Including electronic (SP & SPTK) and auto-transformer (SPM) options, this range ensures the right level of control for both simple and advanced ventilation systems.
Product Range Overview
SP Controllers – Electronic Speed Control
The SP series delivers infinitely variable speed control for single-phase fans, making it ideal for straightforward installations.
Key Features:
- Stepless variable speed control (MIN/MAX adjustable)
- Integrated ON/OFF switch with neon indicator
- Compact design for flush or surface mounting
- No separate starter required with compatible fans
✅ Ideal for: General ventilation systems requiring simple, flexible control
SPTK Controllers – Electronic Control with Protection
The SPTK range builds on the SP series by adding motor protection and enhanced safety features.
Key Features:
- Infinitely variable speed control
- Built-in HOT SPOT motor protection compatibility
- Trip indication and manual reset function
- ON/OFF/RESET switch with fault indication
- No external starter required when used with protected motors
✅ Ideal for: Systems requiring motor protection and fault monitoring
SPM Controllers – Auto-Transformer Speed Control
The SPM range uses auto-transformer technology to provide robust, stepped speed control with reduced noise.
Key Features:
- 5-step speed selection for controlled airflow
- Low motor noise – eliminates magnetic hum
- Built-in ON/OFF switch
- Suitable for heavier-duty applications
- Optional damper and auxiliary connections
✅ Ideal for: Commercial and industrial applications where quiet, stable operation is critical
