Hi everyone.
I've had many requests for this thread.
The circuit below is used to automatically change the fan speed in your grow depending on lights on or off.
If you do not know what G N H are on the circuit diagram, maybe have some else build it that does. This can be dangerous if wired incorrectly.
SC1 is a fan speed controller used when lights are out, generally this is set for a slower speed to reduce the fan speed to reduce noise when cooling isn't necessary but stink control is.
SC2 is the fan speed controller for when the lights are on. This can also be replaced by a thermostat if you wanna get fancy.
Some of you more electrically savy guys will ask why I bothered to switch the neutral. The reason behind that is when you modify this circuit to include a back up power source, you will want to switch the power completely. The inverter or back up power source may be in a different phase and switching both neutral and hot will decrease the likelyhood of the power jumping the gap in the relay and frying your inverter.
