2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Battery Installation
The UC7087T remote requires four (4) AAA batteries. To install:
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Slide open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert four AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2.2 Dip Switch Alignment
For the remote to communicate with your ceiling fan receiver, the dip switches on the UC7087T must match the pattern of your ceiling fan's receiver. This remote will work right out of the package for compatible Hampton Bay and Harbor Breeze ceiling fan models once the dip-switches are aligned.
Important: If you are replacing an old remote, do not discard it until you have noted its dip switch settings. The dip switches are typically small toggles located inside the battery compartment or on the receiver unit itself.
- Access the dip switches on your ceiling fan's receiver unit (refer to your fan's manual for location, often in the canopy).
- Note the ON/OFF or UP/DOWN pattern of the dip switches.
- Open the battery compartment of your UC7087T remote.
- Adjust the dip switches inside the remote's battery compartment to exactly match the pattern of your fan's receiver.
- Close the battery compartment.
2.3 Wall Mount Bracket Installation
The remote comes with a wall mount bracket and two screws for convenient storage.
- Choose a suitable location on a wall for the bracket.
- Use the provided screws to secure the bracket to the wall.
- Place the remote control into the installed wall mount bracket when not in use.
3. Operating Instructions
The UC7087T remote control provides comprehensive control over your ceiling fan and its lighting. Familiarize yourself with the buttons and their functions:
| Button/Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Light Button (Green, bottom center) | Turns the fan's down-lights ON or OFF. Press and hold to dim the lights. |
| Fan Off Button | Turns the ceiling fan OFF. |
| Fan Speed Buttons (Low, Medium, High) | Adjusts the fan speed to Low, Medium, or High settings. |
| FAN TIMER | Activates the fan timer function, allowing the fan to run for a set duration. |
| LIGHT DELAY | Activates a delay for the light to turn off. |
| FAN AUTO | Engages the automatic fan operation mode, potentially based on temperature settings. |
| LIGHT TIMER | Activates the light timer function, allowing the light to remain on for a set duration. |
| TEMP/SET HOUR (Up/Down arrows) | Adjusts temperature settings or sets the hour for timer functions. |
| LIGHT TIMER °C/°F | Toggles the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit, and may also activate light timer. |
Note on Lighting: This remote is designed to operate DOWN lights only. It will not control both sets of lights if your fan has separate UP and DOWN lights.
4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your UC7087T remote control.
4.1 Cleaning
Wipe the remote control periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface and internal components.
4.2 Battery Replacement
Replace batteries when the remote's performance degrades or the display becomes dim. Always replace all four AAA batteries at the same time with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.
4.3 Storage
When not in use for extended periods, it is recommended to remove the batteries from the remote control to prevent potential leakage and damage. Store the remote in a cool, dry place.
5. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your UC7087T remote control, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Remote Not Responding:
- Check battery installation and ensure correct polarity.
- Replace old or depleted batteries with fresh AAA batteries.
- Verify that the dip switches on the remote exactly match those on your ceiling fan receiver. Incorrect dip switch settings are a common cause of non-responsiveness.
- Lights Not Dimming Properly:
- Ensure you are using incandescent bulbs in your ceiling fan's light fixture. LED or CFL bulbs may not dim correctly with this remote unless specifically designed for dimming and compatible with the fan's receiver.
- Remote Only Controls Down Lights:
- This remote is designed to operate only the down lights of your ceiling fan. It will not control separate up lights if your fan is equipped with them. This is a design limitation, not a malfunction.
- Intermittent Operation:
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the fan's receiver.
- Check for strong interference from other electronic devices.
- Re-check dip switch settings.
If issues persist after following these steps, contact Anderic customer support for further assistance.
