Setup and Installation
1. Setting the Codes (DIP Switches)
Both the remote control and the receiver have DIP switches. To ensure proper communication, the codes on the transmitter (remote) and the receiver must match. The factory setting is all up, but avoid using this position if possible to prevent interference with other devices.
2. Installing Receiver in Ceiling Fan
Before installation, ensure the size of your ceiling fan's canopy is sufficient to accommodate the receiver (4.65 x 2.09 x 1.18 inches). Follow the wiring diagram carefully.
- Turn off power to the ceiling fan at the circuit breaker.
- Remove the canopy of your ceiling fan.
- Connect the receiver wires to the fan and house wiring using the provided wire nuts, following the diagram below.
- Carefully tuck the receiver into the fan canopy.
- Reattach the fan canopy.
3. Battery Installation (Remote Control)
The remote control requires one 12V battery (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and insert the battery, observing correct polarity. (Refer to Figure 5 for visual guidance).
Operating the Remote Control
Once the receiver is installed and the remote has a battery, restore power to the ceiling fan. You can now operate your fan and light using the remote control.
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| HI | Sets fan speed to High. |
| MED | Sets fan speed to Medium. |
| LOW | Sets fan speed to Low. |
| OFF | Turns the fan off. |
| Light Button (Sun/Bulb icon) | Turns the light ON/OFF. Press and hold to dim or brighten the light. |
Note: This remote does not have a reverse button. For fans with a reverse function, the switch is typically located on the fan motor housing. Turn off the fan and wait for the blades to stop before manually flipping the reverse switch.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the remote and receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the 12V battery in the remote control when its range decreases or it stops responding. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.
- Receiver Longevity: The FAN28R receiver is designed for durability. Ensure proper ventilation within the fan canopy to prevent overheating.
