Does any member have a diagram on how to wire a 2 speed fan with a Vintage air trinary switch? I believe i need 3 relays in order to wire the 2 speed fan. One for low, high, and trinary. I'd appreciate if you know how to do, show me on a diagram. Thanks

Do you have a single 2 speed fan or 2 separate fans? The 3 relay system is for 2 fans to run both at half speed or both at full speed. Some single 2 speed fans may not work with the 3 relay system.
What is controlling the relays? You need 2 temp switches or a electronic controller or ECM with the 3 relay system to work.
Here's the 3 relay diagram for 2 fans: Relay 4 is an over ride.

I was looking to buy a 2 speed 17" fan. However, I think I will just buy a single speed 17". There are plenty of wiring diagrams for single speed and a lot less confusion. Then all I need to do is cut the 2 wires ground and trinary, splice them onto the current fan wires.
Thanks to all members that had replied with their thoughts/ideas/drawings.
I appreciate it.
