1. Safety Rules
To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been turned off
at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
“ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation
should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 lbs (22.7 kg) or less. Use
only cUL-listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1m) clearance from
the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be
cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry
dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be
spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding
conductor on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the
other side of the outlet box.
All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary before
installation.
Suitable for use with solid-state speed control.1.

Blade Balancing
All blades are grouped by weight. The fan may
wobble even though the blades are weighed
equally.
The following procedure should correct most
fan wobbling problems. Check after each step.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are
secure.
2. Most fan wobbling 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 as shown in Figure 12. Rotate
the fan until the next blade is positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade. The
distance deviation should be equal within
1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the
blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable,
interchanging two adjacent (side by side)
blades can redistribute the weight and
possibly result in smoother operation.

b) From the back of the transmitter, with the
fan’s power off, restore power to the fan. Press
and hold “SET” button for about 5 seconds and
release. If optional light kit is installed, the
light kit will flash twice and the signal light on
the hand held transmitter will come on when
the button is pressed. The fan has completed
the pairing process with the remote control and
is ready for use. (Fig. 16)
NOTE: If the self calibration test failed, turn
the AC power off; restore power and process
the self calibration test again.
NOTE: During self calibration test, the remote
is non-fuctional.
NOTE: The learning frequency function and
self calibration test will continue to retain the
last set frequency and calibration set even
when the AC power is shut off. If the
frequency is changed the self calibration test
will occur again.
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.
Remote Control Button Definitions:
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
button: Turns the fan off.
button: Controls fan direction.
"D" and "ON" dip switch: The "D" selection is the
light dimmable selection for LED light only. The
"ON" selection is the light on only (no dimmable
function). (Fig. 16)
Your DC brushless motor is equipped with an
automatically learned type remote control. There are
no frequency switches on the receiver; the receiver
unit will automatically scan the frequency from the
remote control if any changes are made. The
frequency settings on the transmitter should be
changed ONLY in case of interference or if a
second or more ceiling fans with the same type of
control system are installed in the same structure.
Setting the Remote Control
Follow the below steps to set the remote control:
The auto learning function will only mandate within
60 seconds when turning the fan’s AC power ON.
a) Select desired frequency from the transmitter.
The
dip switches can be set to 16 different combinations.

Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend
on factors such as the room size. Ceiling height,
number of fans and so on.
NOTE: To operate the reverse function on this
fan, press the reverse button while the fan is
running.
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airflow
creates a cooling effect as shown in Fig. 17. This
allows you to set your air conditioner on a
warmer setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow
moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in
Fig. 18. This allows you to set your heating unit
on a cooler setting without affecting your
comfort.

11. Care of Your Fan
Here are some suggestions to help you maintain
your fan
1. Because of the fan's natural movement, some
connections may become loose.
Check the
support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year.
Make sure they are
secure.
(It is not necessary to remove fan from
ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its
new appearance over the years. Use only a soft
brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the
finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use
water when cleaning. This could damage the motor
or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has
permanently lubricated bearings.
IMPORTANT
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE
ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU
ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE
SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS"

Troubleshooting 12.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that light bulb is also secure.
6. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
1. Turn the AC power off to fan, and re-do steps for programming on page 9.
2. Do not turn off fan from standard wall switch. Use only our wall switch or your remote to regulate fan.
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
