1. Introduction
This document provides instructions for the Breeze Bay RC-35T ceiling fan remote control. This remote is designed as a replacement for various ceiling fan models. It operates at a frequency of 303.9MHz.
The RC-35T remote features 5 buttons: three for fan speed control (High, Medium, Low), one for fan OFF, and one for light control (ON/OFF/Dimmer). Please note that this remote does not include a reverse function button.
The light dimmer function is primarily designed for incandescent light bulbs. When used with LED or CFL bulbs, the light button will typically only control the ON/OFF function, without dimming capability.
This package includes only the RC-35T remote control. A receiver unit and a 12V 'A23' battery are not included and must be acquired separately.
2. Compatibility
The Breeze Bay RC-35T remote control is a replacement for various ceiling fan remotes, including models from Harbor Breeze, Allen+Roth, and Kichler. To ensure compatibility, verify that your original remote or receiver meets the following criteria:
- Operating Frequency: Your original system must operate at 303.9MHz.
- FCC ID / Model Numbers: Check the back of your original remote for one of the following FCC ID or model numbers:

Important Note: If your original remote's FCC ID is KUJCE9603, CHQ7202T, or UC7202T, this specific remote may not be compatible. In such cases, a universal fan remote control kit might be required.
Light Bulb Compatibility
This image clarifies that the remote is compatible with incandescent, dimmable LED, and dimmable CFL bulbs. It also states that it is not recommended for wall-mounted or exhaust-type fans.
- Incandescent Lights: Fully compatible with dimming functionality.
- Dimmable LED/CFL Bulbs: Compatible with dimming functionality.
- Standard LED/CFL Bulbs: The remote will only control ON/OFF functions; dimming is not supported.
Fan Type Compatibility
- Compatible with most downrod style ceiling fans.
- Not recommended for use with wall-mounted fans or exhaust-type fans.
3. Setup
Battery Installation
The RC-35T remote requires one 12V A23 battery (not included). To install the battery:
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.
- Slide the cover open.
- Insert the 12V A23 battery, ensuring the polarity (+/-) matches the markings inside the compartment.
- Slide the cover back into place until it clicks securely.
This image displays the remote control and notes the requirement for a 12V, 23A battery (not included).
Programming Methods
The RC-35T remote can be programmed using one of two methods, depending on your existing ceiling fan receiver:
This image highlights the DIP switches and the 'LEARN' key located on the back of the remote control, along with the battery compartment.
This diagram illustrates the two primary pairing methods: matching DIP switch settings for receivers like FAN28R, and using the 'LEARN' button for receivers like FAN30R.
Method 1: DIP Switch Matching (for receivers with DIP switches, e.g., FAN-18R, FAN-28R)
- Locate the DIP switches (small ON/OFF switches) inside the battery compartment of your original remote or on your ceiling fan receiver.
- Open the battery compartment of your new RC-35T remote.
- Set the 4 DIP switches on the new RC-35T remote to the exact same ON/OFF positions as your existing remote or receiver.
- Close the battery compartment. The remote should now be paired.
Method 2: Learn Button Programming (for receivers without DIP switches, e.g., FAN-30R)
- Ensure power is supplied to your ceiling fan receiver.
- On the new RC-35T remote, locate the 'LEARN' button (often a small button inside the battery compartment).
- Press and hold the 'LEARN' button for approximately 5 seconds.
- The fan light (if applicable) should blink or the fan should briefly turn on/off, indicating successful pairing.
4. Operating Instructions
Once programmed, the RC-35T remote allows control over your ceiling fan and light functions.
This image displays the RC-35T remote control, highlighting its buttons for 3-speed fan control (High, Medium, Low, OFF) and light dimmer functionality.
- Fan Speed Control:
- Press the 'HIGH' button for maximum fan speed.
- Press the 'MEDIUM' button for moderate fan speed.
- Press the 'LOW' button for minimum fan speed.
- Press the 'OFF' button to turn the fan off.
- Light Control (ON/OFF/Dimmer):
- Press the 'LIGHT' button (often depicted with a light bulb icon) to turn the light ON or OFF.
- If using incandescent or dimmable LED/CFL bulbs, press and hold the 'LIGHT' button to cycle through brightness levels (dimming). Release the button at your desired brightness.
- For standard LED/CFL bulbs, this button will only toggle the light ON and OFF. Dimming is not supported.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your RC-35T remote control, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the remote with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface or internal components.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the 12V A23 battery when the remote's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive. Always dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
- Storage: Store the remote in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the remote to water or high humidity, as this can cause internal damage.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your RC-35T remote control, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Remote not responding or has limited range. | Low or dead battery. Incorrect battery installation. | Replace the 12V A23 battery. Ensure the battery is inserted with correct polarity. |
| Fan or light not responding after battery replacement. | Remote lost pairing with receiver. | Re-program the remote using the appropriate method (DIP switch matching or Learn button programming) as described in Section 3. |
| Light only turns ON/OFF, no dimming. | Non-dimmable LED/CFL bulbs are installed. | This is normal behavior for standard LED/CFL bulbs. For dimming functionality, ensure you are using incandescent or dimmable LED/CFL bulbs. |
| Light dims or brightens unexpectedly. | Interference or a faulty receiver/bulb. | Try re-pairing the remote. Check if the issue persists with different bulbs. If the problem continues, the receiver or fan unit may require service. |
| Remote is not compatible with my fan. | Incorrect FCC ID/Model or frequency. | Double-check the FCC ID/Model number on your original remote or receiver against the compatibility list in Section 2. Ensure your system operates at 303.9MHz. If incompatible, a universal remote kit may be needed. |
