Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and effective operation of your wall control. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician.
Compatibility
This wall control is specifically designed for Fanimation DC motor ceiling fans. It is not compatible with all Fanimation ceiling fans. Please verify compatibility with your specific fan model before purchasing and installing this control unit. Refer to your ceiling fan's manual for compatibility information.
Wiring Requirements
The control unit is designed to use an existing standard electrical outlet box. It operates on a 120V corded electric power source and has a maximum wattage of 30 watts. Ensure that the electrical wiring in your outlet box meets local electrical codes and the requirements for this device. The product is UL certified for safety.
Mounting
The wall control is designed to be mounted flush within a standard wall switch box. Its dimensions are approximately 4.5 inches (Depth) x 2.76 inches (Width) x 1.8 inches (Height). Secure the control unit and faceplate firmly to the wall box after wiring connections are complete.
Operation
Once installed and paired, the wall control provides intuitive operation of your ceiling fan and light.
Controls
- Fan Speed Buttons (I-VI): Select from six distinct fan speeds. 'I' is the lowest speed, and 'VI' is the highest.
- Fan Reverse Button: Changes the direction of the fan blades, typically used to circulate air differently in summer (downward airflow) versus winter (upward airflow).
- Light Control Button: Press to turn the light on or off. Hold the button to dim or brighten the light to your desired level.
- Power Switch (OFF/ON): A horizontal slider switch located at the bottom of the control unit. Slide to 'ON' to enable the control and 'OFF' to completely power down the unit.
Programming/Pairing
This wall control operates as a permanently mounted remote control and requires pairing with your Fanimation DC motor ceiling fan. The pairing process typically takes about 60 seconds. Refer to the specific instructions provided with your ceiling fan for detailed pairing steps. A general pairing procedure often involves:
- Ensure the main power to the fan is off at the circuit breaker.
- Restore power to the fan.
- Within a short timeframe (e.g., 30-60 seconds) after restoring power, press and hold a specific button or combination of buttons on the wall control (often the 'Light' button or a dedicated 'Pair' button if present) until the fan responds (e.g., light flashes, fan jogs).
- Test all functions to confirm successful pairing.
Note: Precise programming instructions are critical for proper function. Always consult the detailed manual that came with your Fanimation ceiling fan for exact pairing procedures.
Maintenance
The Fanimation 6 Speed Ceiling Fan Wall Control requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: To clean the surface of the control, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- Power: This unit is corded electric and does not require batteries.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your wall control, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Control is unresponsive. | Power switch is OFF; Control is not paired; Power outage. | Ensure the power switch on the control is in the 'ON' position. Re-attempt pairing the control with the fan (refer to fan manual). Check circuit breaker for power to the fan. |
| Fan or light functions intermittently. | Loose wiring; Interference; Weak signal. | Turn off power at the circuit breaker and check all wiring connections. Ensure no other devices are causing signal interference. Re-pair the control with the fan. |
| Light does not turn on/off or dim. | Light bulb issue; Wiring error; Incompatible bulb type. | Check if the light bulb is properly installed and not burnt out. Verify light wiring connections. Ensure the light bulb is compatible with dimming functions if applicable. |
| Fan does not change speed or reverse. | Control not paired correctly; Fan motor issue. | Re-pair the control with the fan. If the issue persists, consult the fan's manual or Fanimation support for fan motor troubleshooting. |
