    Does some one have a diagram on the internal wiring of the L5501RFCP fan controller ?

    I want so see how the High Med and Low relays connect to the Low and Med and Common terminals of the Fan speed capacitor and how they connect to the line and load terminals.

    Since they use standard fan caps the arrangement should be the same as a standard fan mech.
    Wondering are you trying to apply to a fan which uses the caps in a series or parallel arrangement eg Hunter?

    Point to remember there is a short period of time at start up when full power goes straight to the fan irrespective of the speed selected and the neutral is also switched to allow double pole switching for those countries that require it for motor control

    You could do that but if you simply turn the GA on and off with the input then that's what you would get.
    How many fans do you want to control this way?
    Why not just use a relay channel?

    It is fine via cbus.... the issue is when you press the manual push button. (it goes on then off and then you need to press twice to get it on. (toggle through low and med)

    Fair point re the local toggle.
    But why not use an ordinary c-bus relay?
