6. Only a licensed electrician should handle the installation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
2. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
3. The structure to which the fan is to be mounted must be capable of supporting a weight of 20kg.
4. The fixing point on the ceiling, requires a solid bracing structure such as Timber noggins or joists.
The bracing should be butted up firmly and securely to the back of any non structural roofing panel
such as plaster or Gyprock to ensure safety and optimum performance of the fan.
5. The fan should be mounted so that the blades are at least 2.1m above the floor.
6. Only a licensed electrician should complete the installation.
7. WARNING: If unusual wobbling or oscillating movement is observed, immediately stop using the
ceiling fan and contact the manufacturer, its service agent or suitably qualified persons.
8. WARNING: Light and fan must be connected to the same phase. Before servicing, ensure both light
and fan circuits are disconnected.
• Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate
collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding the collection
systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps,
hazardous substances can leak into the ground water and get into the food chain,
damaging your health and well-being.

WARNING:
FOR SAFE USE OF THIS FAN, AN ALL-POLE DISCONNECTION MUST BE
INCORPORATED INTO THE FIXED WIRING INACCORDANCE WITH THE WIRING RULES.
As outlined in clause 7.12.2 of AS/NZS 60335-1 for meeting the minimum electrical safety of
this standard.
Please note warranty will be void if installation is without an all-pole disconnection incorporated
in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
Example: If a fan is connected to a circuit that can be isolated via an all-pole safety switch at the
switchboard, then this is considered to be an all-pole disconnection to the ceiling fan electrical
circuit, meeting the requirements of clause 7.12.2 of AS/NZS 60335.1.
A single-pole switch on the active of the receiver input of remote control must also be
included in the wiring, and located in the same room as the ceiling fan. (See wiring
diagram)

•Using 1 wall controller to control 1 DC 3 Blade Ceiling fan.
1. Connect “LIVE” supply to “L” of the wall controller.
2. Connect fan to “L1” of the wall controller.
3. Connect “NEUTRAL” to “N” of the wall controller.
4. Turn isolation switch “ON”, a ‘beep’ sound will be heard, and within 20 seconds, press and hold
on the wall controller for 3 seconds. The fan will emit another ‘beep beep’ sound to indicate the
pairing process is activated.
•Using 1 wall controller to control 2 or more DC 3 Blade Ceiling fans.
Note: ONLY 1 (MASTER) FAN CAN BE CONNECTED TO CONTROL BOX. MAX 80 WATTS.
1. Connect “LIVE” supply to “L1” of the wall controller.
2. Connect master fan to “L” of the wall controller.
3. Connect “NEUTRAL” to “N” of the wall controller.

WALL CONTROL OPERATION
ELECTRIAL WIRING DIAGRAM CONTINUED
•Pair the Master fan.
Pair the master fan first. Turn isolation switch “ON”, a ‘beep’ sound will be heard. Within 20 seconds,
press and hold on the wall controller for 3 seconds. The fan will emit another ‘beep beep’ sound to
indicate the pairing process has been successful.
•Pair the Secondary fan.
Turn secondary fan isolation “ON”, a ‘beep’ sound will be heard. Within 20 seconds, press and
hold on the master wall controller for 3 seconds. The fan will emit another ‘beep beep’ sound to
indicate the pairing process has been successful. Repeat this process for each of the secondary fans.
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR MULTI FAN OPERATION.
-All secondary fans should be within a 12m radius of the Master Wall controller to ensure reliable
connectivity.
-The Multi fan wiring format is different from the Single fan format. This allows the isolation switch
to cut power to the Master fan while still being able to operate the other secondary fans.
-It is possible to pair multiple secondary fans at once, as long as all fans can be paired within the 20
second pairing time restriction.
All secondary fans should have their own isolating switch (not supplied).

IMPORTANT FACTS
Fan Operation:
Skyfan DC has been designed to optimize airflow with minimal amount of energy usage.
A ceiling fan rotates much more slowly than traditional style wall, pedestal or desk fans;
ceiling fans cool people effectively by introducing slow movement ,with high airflow, into
the otherwise still, hot air of a room, creating a natural evaporative cooling effect. Fans never
actually cool air, like air-conditioning equipment, but use significantly less power.
Normal Wear and Tear
Over time, moving parts may become slightly loose or worn creating small increases in
noise or movement. Fan operation may also be affected by accidental contact by persons
or foreign objects. These conditions are not covered under warranty, but a little care and
maintenance can reduce or prevent these problems from arising
Night Noise
All electric motors, including fan motors make some noise however, the Skyfan DC fan motor
is not susceptible to the noise problems that are commonly experienced with typical Higher
wattage, heavier AC type ceiling fan motors. The Skyfan DC Range are one of the quietest
fans available and are ideal for all areas of the home especially bedrooms where noise is a
crucial consideration.
MAINTENANCE
CARE AND CLEANING:
NOTE: Always turn OFF the power at the mains switch before performing any maintenance
or attempting to clean your fan.
• Every 6 months, periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance
required. Use a soft brush or lint free damp cloth to avoid scratching or marking the
surface. Please turn off electricity power when you do so.
• Do not soak or immerse your ceiling fan in the water or other liquids. It could
damage the motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
• Ensure that the fan does not come in contact with any organic solvents or cleaners.
• To clean the fan blade, wipe with only a damp clean cloth with NO organic solvents
or cleaners.
• The motor has a permanently lubricated ball bearing so there is no need to oil.
