Tips for end users
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 and then turn the power back) and redo the
learn function setting.
3. It is not available to separately operate the remote setting for more than one fan in the same room (in the area where remote
signal can reach to) if they share the same power supply. Separate power supplies (like as using individual wall switches for each
fan and turn power off for the fan while you are making learn function for other fan) is required if you want to separately control
more than one fan in same room.
4. 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.
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.
