Remote and Receiver Pairing
Codes are set by pushing the location of the dip switches located on the transmitter and receiver
up or down. It is important that the code used for both the remote and receiver are identical for the
two devices to be able to communicate; otherwise the remote will not be able to control the fan.
Installing Receiver Assembly
Once the connection has been made, the receiver inserts into the drop rod hanging bracket.
The canopy comes up to cover the receiver and bracket .
IMPORTANT: If you are not sure if the electrical outlet box and fan are grounded, contact a licensed
electrician for advice. They must be grounded for safe operation.
WARNING:
before wiring.

Between fan and receiver:
· Connect the black wire marked “L” from the fan to the black wire marked “TO MOTOR L” from the receiver.
· Connect the blue wire marked “FOR LIGHT” from the fan to the blue wire marked “FOR LIGHT” from the
receiver.
· Connect the white wire marked “N” from the fan to the WHITE wire marked “TO MOTOR N” from the receiver.
Between receiver and mains :
· Connect the black live wire marked “AC IN L” from the receiver to the live wire (typically black) from the
outlet box.
· Connect the white neutral wire marked “AC IN N” from the receiver to the neutral wire (typically white) from
the outlet box.
· Connect the green ground wires from the mounting bracket and nylon ball to the ground wire (bare or
green) from the outlet box.
If you plan to install more than one fan then each fan will require the remote and receive to
use a unique code, or else one remote will be able to control more than one fan.
