MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn't an existing mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the

power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.

Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building

materials. The outlet box and its support must be able to fully support the moving weight of

the fan (at least 50 lbs.). Use a UL Listed metal outlet box. Do not use a plastic outlet box.

Figure 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.

Note:You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a

steep, sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available from your Minka-Aire®dealer.

To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need to install

a hanger bar as shown in Fig. 4 (available at your Minka-Aire®dealer).

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is

turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before wiring.

NOTE: The Aire Control®System is equipped with a learning frequency

function which has 256 code combinations to prevent potential

interference from other remote units. The frequency on your Receiver

and Transmitter units have been preset at the factory. (Fig. 11) No

frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another fan

within the same home or area with a seperate frequency code please

see the "frequency interference" troubleshooting section of this

instruction manual to learn how to change the frequency.

Step 1. Insert Receiver into Hanger Bracket with the flat side of the

Receiver facing the ceiling. (Fig. 12)

Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE

wire from the fan to the WHITE wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the

Receiver. Connect the BLACK wire from the fan to the BLACK wire

marked "TO MOTOR L" from the Receiver. Connect the BLUE wire from

the fan to the BLUE wire marked "For Light" from the Receiver.

NOTE: If your ceiling fan features an UP Light: Connect the ORANGE wire

from the fan to the ORANGE wire marked "For Up Light" from the

Receiver. Otherwise disregard this step and proceed to secure all wire

connections with the plastic wire nuts provided. (Fig. 13 & 14)

Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum distance of 40 feet from the

Step 3. Receiver to House Supply Wires Electrical Connections:

Connect the WHITE wire (Neutral) from the outlet box to the WHITE

wire marked "AC in N" from the receiver. Connect the BLACK wire

(Hot) from the outlet box to the BLACK wire marked "AC in L" from

the receiver. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts

provided. (Fig. 13 & 14)

Step 4. If your outlet box has a GROUND wire (Green or Bare Copper)

connect this wire to the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground

wires. If your outlet box does not have a Ground Wire, then connect

the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground Wires together. Secure

wire connection with the plastic wire nut provided. (Fig. 13 & 14)

After all splices are made, check to make sure there are no loose

strands. As an additional precaution we suggest to secure the plastic

wire connectors to the wires with electrical tape.
