SAFETY RULES
1
1.
2. Be cautious! Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review accompanying assembly diagrams.
3. Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinance, or National Electrical Codes. Hire a qualified electrician or
consult a do-it-your self wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
4. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet
from the floor and 18 inches from the top of the blades to the wall.
5. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling fan outlet box, use a U.L Listed metal octagonal outlet box marked"Acceptable For Fan Support".
Secure the box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at
least 50 pounds). Do not use a plastic box.
6. Caution: To reduce the risk of injury use only the screws provided with the outlet box in conjunction with the lock washers provided with
the fan.
7. If you are mounting the fan to a joist, make sure it is able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds).
8. After you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling.
9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
10. Turn the fan off and wait for the blades to stop completely before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off the circuit breaker of the fuse box.

NOTE: The important safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors which can not be built into

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.
Figure1,2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.

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.13)
No frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another
fan whithin the same home or area with a separate 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.14)
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.15)
Note: Fan must be installed from a maximum distance of 40 feet from
the transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the
transmitting unit and the fan’s receiving unit.

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.15)
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 Wire together. Secure wire
connection with the plastic wire nut provided.(Fig. 15)
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.

OPERATING THE REMOTE CONTROL/WALL CONTROL
Restore Power to Ceiling Fan.
A. Buttons:
These buttons are used to set the fan speeds as follows;
= Low Speed
= Medium Speed
= High Speed
B. Button:
This button turns the fan off.
C. Button:
These buttons turn the light ON or OFF and also control
the brightness settings of the light. The following
instructions apply to ceiling fans that feature a DOWN
light ( button) only or ceiling fans that feature an UP
light ( button) and a DOWN light ( button) that are
controlled independent of each other;

have a " " button, Please look for a slide reverse
switch on the switch housing.
Remote Control only: Install a A23 12volt battery (included). To prevent damage to transmitter remove the battery if not used for long periods of time.

Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size. Ceiling
height, number of fans, etc.
The Reverse switch is located on the coupling. Slide the switch to the down for warm
weather operation. Slide the switch to the up for cool weather operation.(Fig. 18)
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the slide switch.
Warm Weather(forward)
A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 19. This allows you to
set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool Weather(Reverse)
An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 20. This
allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.
