To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring.
All
electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric
Code. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a
qualified and licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling
members and make the proper installation(s) and connections.
3. Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades
should be at least 7 feet from floor.
4. When mounting on a ceiling outlet box, an approved box UL listed as "suitable for fan support"
"suitable for fan support"
is required. The
box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan's listed weight. The box
must not be able to twist or work loose. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be performed by qualified
personnel.
5. Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the
carton until ready to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure
that you do not mix fan blade sets,
do not mix fan blade sets,
as each blade is part of a weighted set.
6. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one
side of the outlet box, and the "HOT" wires on the other side.
7. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and
should be installed per the light kit's installation instructions.
8. After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling
and/or causing damage or injury.
9. The fan can be made to work immediately after installation - the bearings are adequately charged with grease so
that, under normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.
10. To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the reverse button while the fan is running.

Your DC brushless motor is equipped with a automatically learned type
remote control. Restore power to ceiling fan and test the transmitter as below
for proper operation:
Install one 23A/12V battery (included). To prevent damage to transmitter,
remove the battery if not used for long periods of time (Fig. 1)
A. I, II, III, IV, V and VI button:
These six buttons are used to set the fan speed as follows:
I = minimum speed
II = low speed
III = medium low speed
IV = medium speed
V = medium high speed
VI = high speed
B. button:
This button turns the fan off.
C. Reverse button:
This button is to control fan direction
D. Light button
This button is to control light. Switch the “D” and “ON” dip switch on the
back of transmitter to decide the light in “ON/OFF” or “Dimmable” condition.
E. SET code setting button:
Follow the below steps to use the SET button:
a) With the fan’ s power off, arrange code switches to new code settings other
than the default settings if at all possible. Note: Fan should be completely
assembled.
b) After installing the unit and restoring power to the fan, the fan’ s self-learn
programming should be activated to set new codes to fan. Note: Code switches
are only located in the hand or wall transmitters only, no code switches are on
the body of fan.
c) Turn power on to fan, press and hold the “SET” button 3-5 seconds. If you
have a light fixture installed on fan, then light fixture will flash twice to indi-
cate programming is complete.
d) Turn power off to fan and wait 5 to 10 seconds and reestablish power to
fan.
If light or fan function was active during the programming, the fan will resume
that function. At this point the fan needs to run on a high speed setting. The
fan needs to run so that the current monitor function can test the motor for
proper operation. After this time period you can use the fan as needed from
this point on.
F. “D” and “ON” dip switch:
The “ON” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all
bulbs except for CFL bulbs. The “D” selection is the light ON only (no dim-
ming function) and is to be used with CFL bulbs as CFL bulbs in most cases
cannot be used with dimming controllers.

This receiver provides the following protective function:
1. Lock Rotor Position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against a stalled or locked rotor condition (stalled blade
rotation). If there is an obstruction or fault with the motor, the current monitoring function will automatically turn
power off to the motor after 30 seconds. Remove the obstruction and select speed function again to re-start fan motor.
Note: When re-programming the fan or if safety is activated because of an obstruction, fan blades may rotated back
and forth during startup. This may continue for a brief time because safety is checking current to the motor for
proper function. This testing can take up to 1 minute and 30 seconds depending on issue. After this period of time
the fan should resume normal mode.
2. Over 80W protection: When the receiver detects motor power consumption which is greater than 80W, the
receiver power will be stopped and operation will immediately discontinue. Wait for 5 seconds and then turn the
receiver power back on.
Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height and number of fans.
NOTE: To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the button while the fan is running.
Warm Weather (forward):
A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 1. 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 2. This allows you to set your heating
unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

CARE AND CLEANING
Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor screws to prevent
clicking or humming sound during operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and
humidity ranges.
When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending - no pressure should be applied to the
blades. If you experience any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points.

TROUBLESHOOTING - INCASE OF DIFFICULTY
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Switch off power supply before carrying out any of these checks.
1. If fan will not start: Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan housing
wiring. Make sure forward/reverse switch is set to one or the other position, not stuck in between.
2. If fan is noisy: Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight). Check that the
screws securing blade arms to the motor are tight. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling
against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb(s)
are well held in the sockets, if a light kit is used. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not
vibrating against ceiling.
3. If fan wobbles: Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secure to
the motor. Check to make sure that light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware
and shades are fastened properly. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip
to blade tip. If measurements from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to blade arm
one at a time and adjust blade(s) so that distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and
result in smoother operation. Blade arms can be bent slightly to restore same pitch to all blades if a blade is different
than the other blades when viewed edge on. Most wobble can be traced to a loose electrical box or mounting bracket.
Make sure these are tight and the ball is completely seated in the bracket.
