CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE
Congratulations on purchasing the latest in energy saving ceiling fans. This fan runs on DC (direct current) power which
gives it the benefit of being super energy efficient whilst still maintaining high volume air-movement and silent operation.
Energy Saving – The DC motor is the latest technology in fan design. Its highly efficient motor saves up to 65 %
more energy than ceiling fans with traditional AC motors.
Silent Operation – This DC fan motor is programmed with a stabilized current which efficiently reduces motor noise.
Low Operating Temperature – The DC power is managed effectively which brings down the motor operating
temperature to less than 50degs. This results in a much cooler motor than a standard AC fan and increases the longevity
of the motor.
6 Speed Remote Control – While regular AC ceiling fans usually come with only 3 speeds, this DC fan comes
complete with a 6 speed remote, which gives greater choice of comfort levels.

Lock position: the receiver has a built in safety feature to protect against obstruction during operation.
The motor will be locked from operation and will disconnect from power after 30 seconds of
interruption. Please remove obstacles before re-starting. To reset, simply turn off the power supply to
the fan motor and re-start.
Over 80W protection: When the receiver detects power consumption which is greater than 80W, the
receiver power will be stopped and operation will immediately discontinue. Turn the receiver power on
after 5 seconds to restart the fan.
REPAIRING THE FAN RECEIVER & REMOTE PAIRING
Should the remote and receiver lose control after installation or during use, the pairing of the remote and the
receiver must be repaired. Below are the operating symptoms and method to repair the pairing of the DC ceiling
fan remote and receiver.
Issues:
Loss of control - Fan is only running at high speed after installation
Loss of control - No reverse function after installation
Loss of control - Remote cannot communicate with the receiver
Solution:
If the fan runs at the highest speed continuously, it means the wiring of the installation is correct. When the fan
operates on high speed only, or fails to operate in reverse function or any other command/s, it is recommended
to repair the communication pairing of the remote and receiver. Please follow the steps below:
A. Remove the battery cover on the remote. Making sure the battery is installed correctly and the red LED light
indicator will be flashing. This means the remote function is okay.
B. Turn off the main supply to the receiver for more than 30 seconds and turn on the main supply to receiver
again. Press and hold the SET button on the remote for 6 seconds within 60 seconds of turning the power
on to the receiver.
C. Press the buttons on the remote to run the fan. In general, performing point A, B, and C should repair the
remote and receiver and will allow full control of the fan. If not, please do the next step.
D. The DIP switches on the fans are set up at the factory. The DIP switch can be changed to any location in 16
options. (Eg. up-up-down-down).

BALANCING / WOBBLING TROUBLESHOOTING
Please note that not all ceiling fans are the same, even in the same model—some may move more or less than others.
Movement of a couple of centimeters is quite acceptable and does not suggest that the fan will fall down.
Even though all blades are weighted and grouped by weight, it is impossible to eliminate wobble altogether. This s hould
not be considered a fault. Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not generally rigidly
mounted.
You may do the following action to reduce the wobbling:
1) Check all the blade mounting screws are tightened and securely.
2) Wobbling problems may result from inconsistent blade level. To check blade level, measure the distance from each
blade tip to the ceiling.
Note: If measurements are inconsistent:
- Check that the blade mount screws are not over tightened or loose, which can cause the blade tip to not sit
level;
- An out of shape blade can cause wobbling, check by removing the blade and lay it on a flat surface. A good flat
blade will lay flat on the surface.
3) Blade tracking may be checked simply by use of a household ruler as shown in the below figure. Place the ruler
vertically against the ceiling and even with
the outside leading edge of a blade. Note
the distance of the edge of a blade is the
same as the others. Turn the blade slowly
by hand to check the remaining blades. If a
blade is not in alignment, the blade is either
out of shape/warped or the blade screws
are not evenly tightened or loose.
BALANCING KIT
Fig. 26
1. A balancing kit is provided to balance the ceiling fan on initial installation. Please refer to the instruction on how to
use the balancing kit, that is included.
2. The balancing kit can be used to assist re-balancing if the ceiling fan becomes un-balanced overtime. Do not
discard the balancing kit, retain for future use.

FAN CARE AND WARRANTY INFORMATION
Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required. Use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid
scratching the paint/plated finish. Please make sure the fan is not operating when cleaning.
Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the blades and create the
possibility of an electrical shock.
WARRANTY SERVICE
The manufacturer’s warranty covers actual faults that may develop, but NOT minor complaints, e.g. noise from motor
run—ALL ELECTRIC MOTORS ARE AUDIBLE TO SOME EXTENT.
WOBBLE
Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not generally rigidly mounted—if they
were, they could generate excessive ceiling vibration and stress on their mountings.
Movement of a couple of centimetres is quite acceptable and does not suggest the fan will fall down.
Ceiling fans are mounted very securely on steel brackets with rubber cushioning or with ball-joints to allow free
movement.
Please note that not all ceiling fans are the same, even in the same model—some may move more or less than
others.
NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR
Threaded components working slightly loose or blade carriers even slightly bent due to vigorous cleaning or bumping
can cause extra wobble and noise. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY- but a little care and maintenance
can reduce or prevent this problem.
BUMP-IN-THE-NIGHT
This is outside the manufacturer ’s warranty. If a fan has a fault, it will be noticeable at all times. Naturally, when
everything is quiet at night, you will be more inclined to hear small noises which may not be noticeable at other times.
Even slight power fluctuations and power mains frequency signals superimposed in your electricity supply may cause
a change in fan motor noise, this is normal.
FAN LIGHT
Except for actual faults in manufacture, which are extremely rare, FAN LIGHTS AND GLOBES ARE NOT COVERED
UNDER YOUR FAN WARRANTY. Noises and vibration etc. are often more accentuated when a fan light is fitted.
For instance a fan light glass that has not been tightened or worked loose can cause a rattle. Again, care and
maintenance will reduce this.
