Before touching a screw driver thoroughly
read these installation instructions.
Your new wall fan will require a grounded
electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz
circuit. The junction box must be securely
anchored and capable of withstanding a load
of at least 45 lbs.
WARNING/CAUTION: Before installing new
wall junction box turn off power at service
panel.
1. Attach junction box securely to building
structure. Use provided hardware. Caution:
Tighten screws well. (See Figure 1)
WARNING/CAUTION: To avoid possible
electrical shock, be sure that electricity to the
wall junction box and to the wall switch is
turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
2. Verify that the set screws in decorative
canopy are fully retracted. Not retracting them
will cause unsightly scratches in the beautiful
finish of the goose neck during installation.
Leave the protective plastic sleeves in place
on the gooseneck of the fan. Carefully push
wires through the canopy and then slide the
canopy up the gooseneck to the bend with
wide section positioned towards wall (Fig. 2).
3. Thread wires through the barrel of the
hanger bracket, pulling them taut at the flat
end. Attach hanger bracket to the goose neck
carefully, aligning the x4 Allen screw holes.
Tighten the x4 Allen screws well.

OPERATING THE
TRANSMITTER
Your DC brushless motor is equipped with an
automatically learned type remote control.
There are no frequency switches on the
receiver; the receiver unit will automatically
scan the frequency from the remote control if
any changes are made. The frequency
settings on the transmitter should be changed
only in case of interference or if a second or
more ceiling fans with the same type of
control system are installed in the same
structure. (Fig. 5) (If two fans or more in a
house, it is recommended that you not use
the factory code settings. Change codes
setting to any other combination of dip switch
setting to avoid fan interference issues, but
users need to do control setting process as
below once the code setting is changed.
Please refer the "C" "SET" code setting
button section.)
Install 9 volt battery (included), to prevent
damage to transmitter, remove the battery if
not used for long periods. (Fig. 5)
Restore power to ceiling fan and test the
transmitter as below for proper operation:
A. H, M, L and OFF button: (Fig. 6)
These four buttons are used to set the fan
speed as follows:
H = high speed
M = medium speed
L = low speed
OFF = turns the fan off
B. -ON and OFF buttons:
These buttons is used to regulate the oscillating
operation.
C. Setting the code:
a) Select desired frequency from the back of
transmitter. (Fig. 5)

b) From the front of the transmitter, press and
hold the “ OFF” button for over 5 seconds,
and then press and hold the “ACCESSORY-
OFF” button for 1 second.
c) Press and hold the “ACCESSORY- ON”
button for 1 second, and then press the
“ACCESSORY- OFF” button, the transmitter
will automatically scan the frequency.
d) The fan blade will rotate and stop when
the self calibration test is completed. Now the
fan is ready for using.
NOTE: If the self calibration test failed, turn
the AC power off; restore power and process
the self calibration test again.
NOTE: During self calibration test, the
remote is non-fuctional.
NOTE: The learning frequency function and
self calibration test will continue to retain the
last set frequency and calibration set even
when the AC power is shut off. If the
frequency is changed the self calibration test
will occur again.
This receiver provides the following
protective function:
1. Lock Rotor Position: The DC motor has a
built-in safety against a stalled or locked rotor
condition (stalled blade rotation). If there is
an obstruction or fault with the motor, the
current monitoring function will automatically
turn power off to the motor after 30 seconds.
Remove the obstruction and turn the AC
power off. Restore power and restart fan
motor.
2. Over 80W protection: When the receiver
detects motor power consumption which is
greater than 80W, the receiver power will be
stopped and operation will immediately
discontinue. Wait for 5 seconds and then turn
the receiver power back on.

CARE OF AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR FAN
1. Check hardware bi-yearly. Because of the fan's natural movement some connections may
become loose over time. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments
twice a year. Make sure they are secure. It is not necessary to remove fan from the wall.
2. Clean your fan periodically. This will help to help maintain its new appearance over the
years. Use only a lightly water-moistened, lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Plated
finishes are sealed with lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not let rain or
running water to come in contact with the fan. Rain or running water could damage the motor
or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
4. Fan makes a vibration noise. Check to see that all screws are tight in the fan cage
connection to the motor face plate.
5. Fan vibrates or makes grinding noise as blades rotate. Uninstall and reinstall the blades.
Make sure that your fan head's set screw is counter-sunk into the bore hole in the flat part of
the motor shaft. Be careful that the blade brackets themselves are not bent in this process.
Do not operate your fan if it continues to vibrate. Contact your Atlas Fan Co purveyor if the
re-installation of the blades does not resolve the problem.
