Hampton Bay UC7078T Ceiling Fan Remote Control User Manual

Introduction

This manual provides detailed instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Hampton Bay UC7078T Ceiling Fan Remote Control. This remote is designed as a direct replacement for existing UC7078T units and includes the handheld remote and a wall holder. It allows for convenient control of your ceiling fan's speed, light, and reverse functions.

This image displays the front of the Hampton Bay UC7078T remote control. It features a white casing with gray oval buttons. From top to bottom, the buttons are: LIGHT/DIMMER, LO, MED, HI (for fan speed), FAN OFF, and REVERSE. A small red indicator light is visible above the LIGHT/DIMMER button. The Hampton Bay logo is prominently displayed at the bottom.

Setup

1. Battery Installation

The remote control requires one 9V battery (not included). To install the battery:

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
2. Slide the cover off.
3. Insert a new 9V battery, ensuring the polarity (+/-) matches the diagram inside the compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.

2. DIP Switch Configuration

For the remote control to communicate with your ceiling fan receiver, the DIP switches on the remote must match the settings on your fan's receiver unit. This is a critical step for proper operation.

1. Access Remote DIP Switches: Open the battery compartment of your new UC7078T remote control. Inside, you will find a series of small switches (DIP switches).
2. Identify Receiver DIP Switches: If you have your old remote, open its battery compartment and note the position of its DIP switches. If not, you will need to access the receiver unit in your ceiling fan. Ensure the power to the fan is turned off at the circuit breaker before attempting to access the receiver. The receiver is typically located in the fan's canopy, mounted to the ceiling. Carefully lower the canopy to expose the receiver and its DIP switches.
3. Match Settings: Using a small tool (like a pen tip), set the DIP switches on your new UC7078T remote control to exactly match the positions of the DIP switches on your fan's receiver or your old remote.
4. Restore Power: Once the DIP switches are matched, replace the battery cover on the remote and reassemble the fan canopy if you accessed the receiver. Restore power to the ceiling fan at the circuit breaker.

3. Wall Mount Installation

The included wall holder allows for convenient storage of your remote control. To install:

1. Choose a suitable location on a wall, within easy reach.
2. Use appropriate mounting hardware (screws, anchors - not included) to secure the wall holder to the wall.
3. Place the remote control into the installed wall holder.

Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the buttons on your Hampton Bay UC7078T remote control:

• LIGHT / DIMMER: Press this button to turn the fan light ON or OFF. If your fan's receiver supports dimming, press and hold this button to cycle through light brightness levels. Release the button when the desired brightness is reached.
• LO: Press to set the fan speed to Low.
• MED: Press to set the fan speed to Medium.
• HI: Press to set the fan speed to High.
• FAN OFF: Press to turn the fan OFF.
• REVERSE: Press to change the direction of the fan blades. This function is typically used to change between downdraft (cooling) and updraft (circulating warm air) modes. Allow the fan blades to come to a complete stop before pressing the reverse button.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the remote control's range decreases or the indicator light (if present) does not illuminate, it is time to replace the 9V battery. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the Setup section.

Cleaning

To clean the remote control, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.

Troubleshooting

• Remote not responding:
  • Check if the 9V battery is installed correctly and has sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify that the DIP switches on the remote control match the settings on your ceiling fan's receiver unit. Refer to the "DIP Switch Configuration" section.
• Fan or light not working:
  • Ensure power to the ceiling fan is ON at the wall switch and circuit breaker.
  • Confirm DIP switch settings are correctly matched between the remote and receiver.
  • If the issue persists, there may be a problem with the fan's receiver unit or wiring, which may require professional assistance.
• Light not dimming:
  • Not all ceiling fan receivers support dimming functionality. Verify if your specific fan model and receiver are designed for dimming.
  • Ensure you are pressing and holding the LIGHT/DIMMER button to activate the dimming function.
