Controls

AmeriWind’s control systems handle everything from basic on/off operation to fully automated, temperature- and humidity-driven fan management across multiple units.

At the simple end, the Manual Fan Control gives you forward/off/reverse switching for a single fan, no automation, just direct control. Step up to our Fan Chief line for wireless, multi-fan control designed and built in-house by AmeriWind: the Automatic Control adjusts fan speed based on real-time conditions, the Humidity Sensor and Wind Sensor feed additional data into that system, and the Wireless Control Commercial unit lets you manage groups of fans without running a keypad to each one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between manual and automatic fan controls?
The Manual Fan Control gives you direct forward/off/reverse switching for a single fan. The Fan Chief line automates that process, adjusting fan speed based on real-time temperature or humidity data instead of requiring manual adjustment.
Can I control multiple fans from one system?
Yes. The Fan Chief Wireless Control Commercial unit is built for managing groups of fans without running a separate keypad to each one.
Do I need a wind sensor or a humidity sensor?
It depends on what’s driving your airflow needs. The Wind Sensor and Humidity Sensor both feed data into the Fan Chief automatic control system, but they measure different conditions. Talk to our team about which sensor matches your facility’s environment.
