The receiver provides the following protective functions
Lock protection- The DC motor has a build-in safety feature against
blade or motor obstruction during operation. If something obstructs
the fan blades or motor, the motor will keep trying to run for 3
times and then stop operation after about 30 seconds of
interruption. Please remove obstacles and reset. To reset it by turn
the fan off by remote transmitter and then turn the fan on.
Over load protection (current limit)- The device will limits the
maximum current output from the receiver/drive when the fan load
was increased abnormally.
User Tips
1. If your fan is operated automatically after installation and power on, it is because your fan is still memorize the previous
setting at factory. Use universal mode or make learn function setting and your fan will be ready for use.
2. If fan or light isn’t working, reset power (turn the power off for at least 5 seconds, then turn the power back, and wait for 5
seconds at least) and redo the learn function setting. You must press the “SET” button within 1 minute of restoring power to the
fan.
3. If two or more fans in the same remote signal range are on the same power supply, they cannot be operated separately by
remote control. Use a separate power supply for each fan, such as an individual wall switch, and restrict the power supply to
only the fan which you are pairing with its transmitter in order to use the remote controller.
4. You may erase the code setting of the transmitters by turning the power off for at least 5 seconds, then turn power back and
wait for at least 5 seconds then push and hold the “OFF” button of the transmitter which you are using for at least 10 seconds.
You must press the ‘OFF” button within 60 seconds of restoring power to the fan.
5. When fan is turned on or operated forward/reverse function, it shutters & goes back & forth until it turns. It is a normal
performance of this fan and it will take for few seconds to run this operation.

Troubleshooting
or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults,
installation, please call our Customer Service Center at the
number printed on your parts list insert sheet.
Warning
and lock the service panel to prevent the power from being switched back on accidentally. If the service panel
cannot be locked to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally, securely fasten a warning sign to the
service panel.
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
CAUTION
either way. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
4. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting
and make sure the battery works.
1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
3. Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each
other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION
4. Check to be sure lightbulb is tight in socket and not touching the glass shade.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
6. Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will
disappear after this period.
1. If this is a downrod mount fan, make sure the ridge on mounting bracket engages the
notch in the downrod ball.
2. Make sure that canopy, mounting bracket or mounting plate are tightened securely to
4. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
5. Most fan wobble 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
from blade tip to ceiling. Keeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade
is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal,
you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert
a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the
motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade
holder at the two screws farthest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer if
blades mount from top of blade.
6. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent blades can redistribute the
weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
If the above steps do not eliminate the wobble problem, you will need to dynamically
balance your fan with balancing kit provided.
1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.
2. Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3. Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4. Check for faulty lightbulb and make sure bulb is tight in socket.
5. Remove light kit and check the plug connections if they are present.
6. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting
and make sure the battery works.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing and/or
canopy.
