CONTROL SYSTEM SET-UP
Make sure the power is completely disconnected before you begin this
procedure.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Your new Kichler® Ceiling Fan is State of the Art and employs a High
Eciency DC (direct current) Motor with an advanced CoolTouch™
Remote Control System. The DC Motor uses 70% less energy than a
conventional ceiling fan AC Induction Motor. The DC motor is “Digitally”
controlled and operates dierently than conventional ceiling fans
motors. Please read this portion of the manual completely before
proceeding.
Our CoolTouch™ Control system includes an “Automatic Frequency
Selection” feature. To set the control frequency and program the
control system, follow these steps.
Open the back of the Transmitter (figure 18)
The Frequency Selector is a "Dip Switch Block" inside the Battery
compartment of the Transmitter. (See figure 19) You change
frequencies by arranging the small switches numbered 1 through 4 in an
up or down position. 16 possible frequencies or combinations are
possible.
The fifth switch, marked D and X sets the system for operation with
Incandescent or Fluorescent Lamps. It is essential to set this
switch correctly. If your ceiling fan is equipped with Incandescent
Lamps, set this switch to the D Position, for Fluorescent Lamps, set
the switch to the X Position. If these settings are reversed, the lighting
control system will operate erratically and could damage your
ceiling fan.

Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Remote control
malfunction.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact.
CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
3. Make sure the transmitter batteries are installed properly. Positive (+) side facing out.
4. Insure the batteries have a good charge.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION:
Make sure main power is o.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not
touching any other component.
6. Do not connect this fan to wall mounted variable speed control(s). they are not compatible with ceiling fan motors or
remote controls.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling
above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and
possibly result in smoother operation.
1. Ceiling Fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in conjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a
basic On/O wall switch, if desired.
