I have as well. Do you have the problem where they seem to turn themselves back on when you turn them off? I asked SA about this and they suggested this MOV & Cap. filter arrangement to stop the problem, which I built and installed exactly as suggested, and the problem is slightly better, but still occurs. You'd think a relay switch would be the most robust type, but not these. I'm going to have to live with it because the URF is in the base of the fan and very hard to get to.

For now, I am going to blame the UFR issue on "operator error" rather than a problem with the UFR and fan combo. If it was something I did, then it appears to be corrected. If it is sone problem with the UFR/fan, then I too will have problems getting to the UFR and, more importantly, coming up with an alternative.

Sorry if I am late to the party, I just noticed this thread and read thru it. Some very good info.
Is there any poossibility you can post some pictures or a sketch of Jim's "jig"? It sounds like a great time saver. I have been thinking about how to create a testing device, but why re-invent the wheel.

I would like to improve upon my jig. The lamp and fan are mounted on a piece of 1/8" panelling. I want to be able to quickly secure a couple switches/inline modules. I think I could use electrical boxes that have removable sides for creating multigang only in this case I would have the sides open for easy access to wiring. I would also add an outlet for configuring UPB plug-in devices. Wiring connectors that allow wires to be inserted and screwed down would be nice rather than messing with wire nuts.
I could also add an on/off rocker switch like acdcelectric but since this is a "bench jig" I will probably just plug and unplug it. However, if I carry the unit around, maybe the switch is a good idea.
