5. Setup and Installation

5.1. Installation of the Receiver

The QIACHIP receiver is designed for easy installation. All wires are color-coded and marked to simplify the process. Ensure power is turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning installation.

1. Turn off power to the ceiling fan at the main circuit breaker.
2. Remove the existing canopy or housing of your ceiling fan to access the wiring.
3. Disconnect the existing wiring from the fan and light.
4. Connect the QIACHIP receiver according to the wiring diagrams below. Match the color-coded wires:
   • White: AC Neutral Line
   • Black: AC Live Line
   • Blue: Live Line to Light
   • Black (from receiver): Live Line to Fan

   Note: In some very old fans, wire colors may differ. Consult a professional electrician if unsure.
5. Carefully tuck the receiver and wiring into the fan's housing or junction box. Ensure the antenna wire is not pinched and extends freely for optimal Wi-Fi signal.
6. Reattach the fan canopy or housing.
7. Restore power at the circuit breaker.
