Caframo fan
Have just bought a maestro model that you self wire have read instructions wired up book said but the volume control supposed to change the fan speed but for some unknown reason the fan comes on without the switch emailed the company and they sent me a detailed map of what colours goes were with what number on the circuit board

The mother board is crook i think, the on / off pot that control the circuits board will not work when wired up the current by pass the on/ off switch

Re: Caframo fan
The one in the Hino has a crook connection somewhere, unknown if it's internal or external, but it is a hell of a battle each time to get it to start up and involves a certain amount of percussive maintenance to get it to see my way and actually start working again.Mrcoolabah1au wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 10:11 pm The mother board is crook i think, the on / off pot that control the circuits board will not work when wired up the current by pass the on/ off switch![]()
The new mk2 model has a whole different button set up so I'm thinking the problem may be in that area, the lights aren't as bright either and that is another plus so I might end up going down that track and mount the annoying unit to blow air up front some where rather than over the bed.
Probably better off both $$ wise and reliability wise to buy a 240vac job to replace the thing, but the gimbal fold up design does have its benefits.

Re: Caframo fan
I have also heard that, but this one won't even turn a light on so I'm not so sure the problem is after the switches.
