Global Ceiling Fan Controller – Up to 5 Fans with Reverse

This Global fan controller is a wall-mounted control unit designed to manage up to five compatible Global ceiling fans from a single point. It gives the operator direct adjustment of fan speed and the ability to reverse fan direction — useful for switching between airflow modes depending on season or the demands of the space.

In a commercial setting, being able to control multiple ceiling fans centrally saves time during setup and means staff aren't adjusting individual units during a busy service. The reverse function is particularly practical in larger spaces such as function rooms, covered outdoor areas, or high-ceilinged kitchens, where airflow direction can make a meaningful difference to comfort and temperature distribution.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers straightforward benefits:

• Centralised control of up to five fans reduces reliance on individual unit adjustments
• Reverse function supports both cooling and air circulation modes
• Compact wall-mount design keeps installation tidy and accessible
• Metal construction is robust enough for day-to-day commercial use

Installation is straightforward for a competent electrician. The unit is compatible with Global ceiling fans HW948, HW949, and HW950 — it is important to confirm compatibility before purchasing if you are retrofitting this controller to an existing fan installation. It will not work with fans outside this range.

This controller suits operators running multiple ceiling fans in a single zone who want consolidated control without complexity. If you are managing fans across several independent zones or a larger installation, it is worth discussing the setup with us before ordering to make sure this is the right solution.

If you have questions about compatibility with your existing fans or how to wire this into your current setup, our team is happy to talk it through.
