It looks like `grey box` is a circuit board with in-built resistors to drop the speed down. Is this correct?
Try rigging up a temporary supply from a plug-top (3amp fuse). Connect live into LL and Neutral into N. If those wires are soldered on to the circuit board - make sure you tape up the wire going to LH to prevent back-feeding.

Yes m8 you got it spot on once you says that i figured how it worked , The wires are not soldered they screw in i could have tryed harder with my pic sorry . but you told me what i needed to know :)

the way i had it wire was wrong to start with even know it was giving me max speed still .I had the live in LL and the neutral in LH :eek:

But now i know Neutral in N and live in eather LH or LL for high or low speed .

It seems so easy now once some 1 put me on the right rd nice one m8 thank you

Or spend a bit more and buy a fan which is a little easier to understand and wire;)

I did spend a few quid on it i thought you would have got it stright away :) Cool site
