Fan Speed Control setup

Hi,
I've purchased and mounted a VTX600 and also purchased a KBWC-15K fan control from KB Electronics.
I've read through your setup several times and have now decided I'd like a self contained switch away from the controller.
I see in your old setup you plugged the fan into your box with a receptacle and speed controller. Did you plug and unplug the fan every time you wanted it on/off? I guess in my own brewery I was thinking my box would contain a receptacle, the KBWC-15K and an on/off switch? Is that doable with the KBWC-15K fan control I already have and do you have a wiring diagram that would work? I've searched the internet for such a thing and can't find what I think I'm looking for??

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Great information, appreciate it!

So I could wire (kind of like) your old diagram below combining a standard outlet with the KBWC-15K in a box connected to 15 amp Romex to the house's main box. That's what I'm thinking anyway.

By the way, good advice about a qualified electrician. I plan to have an electrician do all the final connections to the main box and inspect my work. I like to do and learn as much as I can, and in the end, understand everything I'm putting into a project.
